    I started with a cbr600f4 almost 20years ago, but now I only own an R3 which I use daily to commute to work. Of course it is slower than a 600 on straights, but more than enough to leave other cars from intersections. The fun factor is way higher on the R3 because it’s more nimble, better on gas, cheaper on insurance, not intimidating (almost impossible to get speed wobbles or accidental wheelies), looks just like a 600, etc. If you split lanes like me (California) then the R3 is the perfect weapon. I bought a used 2016 for a price way cheaper than most good mountain bikes and it’s very well worth it because it melts away the stress of work at the end of each workday.

    My R3 is just right in my opinion, in the highway it's not bad. Since it's a lighter bike the wind knocks it around some but I have learned to just get down grip the tank with your legs and it feels better, I do need to get a double bubble wind screen and put a louder exhaust.

      @@MotoChrisOfficial I agree. I'd like to have and R6 or R1 one day, not because of their power but because of the sound and how powerful they look. But for my needs R3 is a perfect bike. When I want to ride a bit faster and enjoy myself, I can do that. When I want to go on the trip, I can do that as well without a problem. And even though I have to go to a gas station quite often because of its small fuel tank it barely sips fuel. I have done 3000km on mine, and my average fuel consumption is 3.1L/100km (google says it is 75-76 mpg) which is more than 3x lower than my car.

      @@92Cuky_ It is truly a fantastic little bike. It handles very well in corners, weighs little and the fuel consumption is minimal. One it gets up to highway speeds, it gets a little shy, and it should because it's not made to cruise on highways. Take it to some twisty roads instead or just commute, the R3 is more than enough for it. The only mods I would recommend is a quicker throttle tube, slip on exhaust and some good tires.

      As for mods, I haven't put any on my bike other than a phone holder and tank pad. But I plan to buy higher visor and maybe slip on exhaust at some time. As for tires, I am actually quite happy with Dunlops it came with, though I have my eyes on Pirelli Diablo Rosso II, Pirelli Diablo Rosso III or Metzeler Sportec Street

I am going to be a new rider and am taking my msf course soon. Your videos have been an incredible resource in helping be decide to go with the R3 as everyone I have talked to tells me to get a used 600cc. As a new rider not only is that scary but I personally dont think I would get bored on a 300cc. Im not riding for the thrill of speed, but for practicality and have always loved motorcycles. I cant wait to get mine. Keep up the good work brother!

    I live in Germany and even without a speed limit on some parts of the highway nobody really goes faster than 140 kmh (roughly 90mph) for a long time. A litre of Gas costs 1.60€ and if you ride at full throttle all the time you will lose a lot of money. So I honestly think a 300 is perfectly fine for the highway maybe even better than a SV650

  • @kuhndj67
    @kuhndj67 5 лет назад +3

    Slow is relative... it looks like the R3 is in the 'car performance' range so it can get out of its own way no problem. On the street where there are legal issues with riding like Rossi there's a solid argument that a low power bike is a lot more fun to ride than the big guys. You get to row through the gears for one thing... I don't even have a 'top tier' power bike, but on my 160hp Multi I can get a speeding ticket on any highway in my state... in first gear. Handling wise the bike looks like it would be a ton of fun in the twisties... and you can go wot on the exit without risking life and license, that sounds like fun to me.

    Great vid Chris! Finally an un-edited view/sound focused on the gearing/speed. Perfect camera angle too. Yamaha appears to have killed it with the gear ratio and two overdrive gears (4th/5th) for chill. Until we test ride, the questions are:
    1) If the R3 is maintaining 90-95mph (152kmh) is the ride too buzzy with the engine appearing to be stressed?
    2) If maintaining 35-45mph (56-72kmh) in 3rd or 4th gear, does the bike feel stressed or screaming for a gear change? or is 4th gear similar to "overdive" if the desired speed is met in 3rd gear? (as in, chillin' in 4th at 35mph?). If you went to 5th or 6th would it bog down and demand only 4th gear?
    3) I can't imagine getting bored with going through the gear box but are there times when you don't feel like having to push to the rev-limiter? Better yet, if you don't go balls-to-the-wall, is the R3 sluggish?
    As for haters of 300/400cc bikes; they aren't complete motorcycle lovers.

      Sal Sonic I have had the 2017 and currently own the 2019 r3 plus numerous other higher bikes and I also commute to work every day as well so I can probably answer these.
      1) the 2017 I had def felt pretty buzzy around those speeds however the 2019 does not at all. It’s honestly very smooth even when you are pushing it to its limits.
      2)the bike is def not stressed in 4th gear going 45 miles an hour. If you went up to 5th it wouldn’t bog down but if you get to 6th it def would.
      3)the r3 is a blast to own and ride. Going through the gear box keeps you engaged and actually makes the ride way more fun to me. Honestly I commute about 30 minutes to work every day on a major highway and never push to the rev limiter. The bike is an amazing commuter. You are not gonna be able to go 140mph but you can kill in the corners and it sips gas. On the highway cruising at 80 in 6th is comfortable and does not feel sluggish.
      People that hate have def never rode a 300. I have had several bigger bikes (mt07, r6, and a gsxr 750) and still find myself drawn to the r3. Its lightweight and you really can’t beat the handling. Plus going through the gears is fun! Hope this helped.

      @@jbryan817 - Hell yeah, that answered my questions. That's the most succinct answer I've ever received and I appreciate it. It says a lot that you had the '17 and came back for more, buying the '19.
      I know it will pop up in first (and 1st is a short gear) I wonder if it's possible to ride a wheelie at balance point by changing into 2nd? It's not a deal breaker because the engine/gearing/style is awesome.

    @lokitomanny 5 лет назад

    I think you guys missing the point or am just too old. No doubt the R3 Is amazing compared to the old Kawasaki 250. But still do you hear the amount of constant distress on that engine? It is not about that it can reach speeds over 100MPH on the highway, but how comfortable are you, how distressed is that little engine and for how long can you keep that up? So for me, if I am going to spend $5K on s bike, I want to be able to cruise at 80mph with an engine that is totally relaxed and in pure comfort, no wind buffering, not being blown away by wind and not having to suggest my muscles and tendons to such high frequency vibration for a long amount of time. The question is if you need to go on 2hrs long ride right now, empty a whole tank before taking a break, how would that bike fare with that constant high rev, that sound is annoying, you see it in the bar graph, RPM was always at full blast... That is fun for a short stunt, but to do an hour commute everyday, it will get old. And that is where something like the SV650 would be a better investment.

Once you start really getting good at cornering and braking, getting comfortable with really leaning the bike over, you really don't care that much about pure speed. Motorcycles are the most fun on the side of the tire. Do I want more power and torque? Who doesn't? Do I feel like the bike needs more power and torque? Not really...

Many journalist and blogger try the test bike, some of them borrowed the test bike for a week, put it in to the dyno and get 31-32hp on wheel, that are pretty good for which claim 36hp on cranck. Few times later, one of blogger who dyno the test bike, bought R25 and put his own bike to the dyno which the same dyno machine that are using for the test bike. And what happened? Mass product bike only have 28-29 horse power which almost 3hp lost compare to the test bike.
