Just bought a blue 2019 Model as my first bike. Put 800 Miles on it in like 3 weeks, I love it so much. Bought it without ever having sat on a bike before in my life, havent dropped it so far and Ive honestly gotten really good at riding. This channel was part of what helped me finally pull the trigger and I couldnt be happier. Thanks, Yam. Ride safe everyone👌🏼
nicholas Rep Yep, does great on the highway as well. Youre in 6th gear most of the time but it has enough power to pass people and go at least 100 if you wanted. My commute to work is about 20 minutes and its almost too short! I feel weird getting off so soon😂
Fallenonee Nope still dont have my license lmao. I really do need to get my temps, im scared to get pulled over without them, although I hear there is some leniency with the dmv with all this rona shit goin on might be 60 days from purchase. I know registration deadlines r pushed back, Ive been tailed by a few cops with expired temp tags and havent gotten yopped
Im thinking of getting the r3 as well, did you have any trouble with maintenance & stuff? Im barely getting into motorcycles, so im trying to figure out what bikes have less problems. Like for example with cars my jeep had troubles almost every other month & it was expensive too, but for my Toyota i had problems maybe once a year. So is the r3 a bike you have to take care of often?
A 2017 R3 is my first bike. Absolutely loving it, along with it's cheap insurance and payment. It still has plenty of beans to be had, and inspires confidence immediately. Thanks for the awesome content as always
NoBodyy you need pants, gloves, a long sleeved shirt, and over the ankle boots. If you don’t have a helmet, they’ll typically supply you with one. Some people rode riding jackets in my class but it was a super hot weekend so I just wore a long sleeve shirt. When you sign up they’ll send you a list of all the info/things you need
Technically you don't need a M license here in the states. Several riders only have a C- class license and it's all that is needed to own a motorcycle.
Carbon you need a Motorcycle Permit. If your under 18 then you need your parents to go with you and sign a paper for the instructor. After you finish and pass the MSF class you got to go take your motorcycle permit test.
That’s how I found your channel. I was googling for a how to video on my brand new r3 back in 2015 and google recommended your video. you were the first motovlogger I watched. I didn’t even know motovlogging existed. But I got hooked man and here I am still watching 5 long years later.
I absolutely love my 2020 R3! I’ve completely updated this bike. Got some carbon fiber parts, TST turn signals, fender eliminator, swapped that ugly gray for blue/black, and of course rocking the Yoshimura R77. It’s the best small displacement motorcycle you can get. Can’t wait to install the TST WORX Pack and enjoy some track days! My next bike will be a 2020 BMW S1000RR and I’m keeping the R3 for commuting. 👌🏼
Yeah I'm 18 and wanted to go for aprilia rs125 but since I can't get a job rn due to corona I have decided to delay bikes for my 20s when I get the money I need
One good thing about the r3 you can ride it aggressively, it got cheap parts, then once you get comfy with your riding skills you can slowly go up to a 600 or a 1000cc. You’ll be shock how almost same you ride a 300cc to a 1000cc cycle
5.5 seconds to 60..not with me on it..Stock to..just clocked 82k miles..still going strong with standard exhaust on it..unbelievably machine & never let me down..Big Up Yamaha & You Jammy Noob..Big Love from the UK..!! ✌🏻
Yammie, you my dude have persuaded me to take the jump onto a 2 wheeled death machine while being called a "temporary australian" for riding a motorbike. After a year or so of watching your videos I just recently bought myself a 2016 yamaha r3. Thank you for all your wise words.
As a pretty new rider with little experience with road bikes I think it is actually quiet comfortable. I have owned a few dirt bikes and i do understand dirt bikes are different. But hands down i could ride around for hours. Btw I'm 6' and not the smallest guy in the world.
The 15,16 R3 has another common fault,the gear selector, it wasn’t a clutch related issue. When shifting it wouldn’t recognise any gears resulting in total loss of power apart from that 18 all issues ironed out and is a dream
Papa Yam! I finally did it after watching you for the past few months and have become a yammie noob myself, got an R3 last night. Thank you for such an in depth review! The MSF course is scheduled for next month. Now I'm off to figure out how to work the machine

Hi Papa Yam, been following you since I'm still a bikeless bro. Until I saved up from overtime, bit the bullet and bought my first bike, an R25, after watching all of your early videos. Hell, I also bought a Packtalk Bold and an Arai helmet after watching your videos as well! 2 years of riding later, and I couldn't thank you enough. It's plenty fast for city ride, soo forgiving, sips fuel, screams beautifully at high rpm. Well, I dropped it a couple of times in the beginning, snapped a lever, broke a footpeg, but surely it taught me a lot things on riding a bike. Been thinking of trading it in for a 600cc sportbike, but I'm very fond of my R25 now. Thanks Papa Yam for taking me in into this world full of awesome bikes! Much love from Indonesia
I got new R3 last year. It's pretty compared to the ninja 400, and I really like it, but I think it's important to do some changes after you get it. it actually sounds pretty nice right out of the box, but the exhaust isn't exactly pretty. MAKE SURE YOU GET A DIFFERENT THROTTLE TUBE. It will change the ride. trust me. But honestly Really glad that I bought it. Can't wait to move on to the R6
What made you choose the R3. I’m torn between the kawi 400 and the Yamaha R3. I’m short if that makes a difference. Sat on a 400 and I could touch the ground with ease. Couldn’t find any R3’s to sit on haha. Looking for a daily ride that can also handle some wheelies and pulls.
@@neelagood8318 lol. I’m a Yamaha Fanboy, and don’t like the way the 400 looks from the front haha. But I think you’ll enjoy the 400 way more. The clutch is buttery smooth.
I wish Yamaha made an r4. Reason being in my country, the Philippines, enforcers are more strict towards adding mods to motorcycles below 400cc. Especially when it comes to the exhaust.
I was talking to an R1 rider at work and he told me about a dealership down in Orange County that will finance just about anyone. Checked out their R3s and applied for financing and now this video pops up? Too much of a coincidence. Taking this as a sign.
Please for the move of God don't finance your bike through a dealership. Go through a credit union. You'll get better rates and save a bunch of money in the long run.
@@supermanlegend7 what year? Looking to buy one right now, new sticker price is 5k. Curious if you were able to negotiate it lower or if you got an used model.
Im Spruilly Around in GA, you’re looking at around 6800 after taxes a 2020 with ABS. Bikes are selling very well so, most dealers aren’t interested in negotiating.
I am an oldish man owning an r125 awaiting work. It wont start. I am dreaming of one of those naked ones. It hurts my heart with longing to see those beautiful clips of riding. Love this.
I've been a licensed motorcycle rider since 1989, averaging over 10k miles/year since 2003, currently riding a 2009 Concours14. I took a short test ride on a 2020 R3 last week and I want one so bad, I'm considering selling my Concours14. I still have to get my 2003 BMW R1150RT-P running reliably so I can still pack up the kitchen sink and go on long highway trips and Iron Butt rides, but the R3 will be awesome for everything else, from commuting to local twisty roads to weekend trips to the mountains. I'm 51, and a smaller lighter bike is becoming very appealing for regular use; the 688-pound Concours is a king on the highway, but it's a pig of a bike for maneuvering and parking in the city, and a beast to toss around through tight twisty roads. The Beemer and an R3 in the stable should cover all the bases except dirt roads.
I’ve learned a lot from my R3 BUUT I cannot lie.. I did fiend for more power & the lovely sound of 3 or 4 cyl. Even though I did upgrade, good ol reliable is still in the lineup 👍🏽
@@walkerfharris it’s all about your mindset. I moved on to a mt-09 and the extra CCs aren’t worth it unless you’re constantly getting into races on the freeway (stupid). Yeah it’s pretty fun screaming up to 100 in less than six seconds but honestly that’s all the extra CCs really let you do.
I might be doing this backwards- My first street bike is a Gixxer 1000 (K5), now I'm looking for something a little more comfortable/ reliable. The Gixxer is awesome, on a smooth open road. It's no fun around town or in traffic, it's complicated, everything is expensive, the service intervals are every single time you look at it, and mine is like "afraid to scratch the tank" condition. My second bike will be more of a beater, probably a SV650. Too bad $3500 Busas aren't really a thing anymore.
can yall pray for me, I just found a 2019 r3 for $1800 Let us pray to our lord's papa Yam and Rossi that the guy checking it out before me does not buy it. Please I need all of the might of the squid army to help me
CBR500R all the way, perfect amount of power and aftermarket support, I've slapped some raised rear sets and lowered clip-ons on mine and I'm absolutely in love with it.
I haven't even got my endorsement yet. I just only started getting into motorcycles within the last couple weeks and I'm going to look at a 2019 R3 tomorrow for only $3,100
It seems there's a competition of which to get R3 vs Ninja 400 ... I'm leaning towards the 400, well because it says "Ninja" haha. And like how it sits more upright. But then started seeing people say it has issues with false neutrals between gears, and having to replace the clutch every few months. Any knowledge on this?
I’ve had my r3 for about a year and a half now, and I can validate that i am not bored w the bike. If it goes 100+ how can it get boring? Imo unless you’re making money off racing or just a bigger guy there’s no need to guy a 600 or 1000. Learn the fundamentals and maintenance on a r3 and after you get comfortable riding upgrade if you feel the need to. 🤟🏾 all love to my yammie noobs
I recommend the cbr500r as a first bike. I started on a cbr125 and upgraded to the 500 a year later. I've had the 500 for 4 years now and still love it. It has enough power to do whatever you want and is tame enough for new riders to learn on
I see why you like the Duke 390 so much but its hard to seriously consider it when it has so many reliability problems and I'm strapped for cash as it is.
Coming from a NMAX 155cc scooter....I absolutely love my Yamaha R3! 321cc will out gun most of the bike's I encounter in my part of the world anyway. LOL
i love this channel watch every day regularly and am taking my msf on the 29th and 30th and its all because of you papa yam. im a texas native also and love the content cant get enough and im now getting an r3 so thank you so much.
I got my A1 license(125cc) last week and i already crashed and broke my f*cking elbow yesterday. Rip my ktm duke ... I just wanted to get this of my chest as i am currently in the hospital and have nothing else to do.
I bought an 2019 KTM Duke 390. Austrian? Maybe but built in India and the worst thing I’ve ran into is the bolts, screws, etc are garbage. Stripped threads on welded in nuts, and using red lock tight on screws/bolts that hold plastic covers on. Sad cause it’s a great bike.
Why do motorcycle(and scooters for that matter), always feel the need to round up? They say something is 390cc, but it actually tops out at 373cc. A 500cc could be a 482cc. It's annoying when they do that.
Got me my first bike a couple of weeks ago and yammie noob video help out a lot to find the right one. Got me a 2019 r3 but I think I paid to much but it's all good I love it.. thanks yammie noob
In asian market, they have r15...it is a 150cc bike with vva headblock....the seating position are more aggresive than the r3...super great for track day and the price is not bad at all....you should search it
I would really appreciate it if Yamaha could just give the R3 Assist And Slipper clutch from the factory or the VVA Technology that they have. One more thing, redesign it like the R7 because I think almost all the R-series of Yamaha look the same as the R7 even the new 155cc of Yamaha which is the R15 Version 4 look the same as the R7 with a lot of cool features.
An r4 would sell great in my country(Philippines). We have this stupid law that requires a minimum of 400 cc displacement to enter the highway, so 300cc's don't sell that much here.
I mean motorcycles have come a long way since that law was made. The main reason they made the law was so that you wouldn't get killed by fast vehicles. A lot of 250 bikes nowadays could easily go a 100km/h (that's the speed limit).
Started on R3. Had it for about 2 years but I just sold it and bought an fz8. The r3 was fun but was kinda getting bored of it. Love both bikes but fz8 is way faster and I like the adrenaline rush
I was stuck on this one or the Ninja 400. So I go to my local dealership ans sat on both. Glad I didn't go with the ninja I don't like how I felt on it. The R3 I absolutely was smitten with.
Remz lmao hey cut me some slack, I never ridden before and wanted to start on something forgiving so I could learn how to rev match, then got bored of it in a week and got 2016 KTM 1290 SD, but thank god I work at a KTM/Aprilia Dealership 😈😈😈
I’m on my 2nd R3 I had a 2015 traded it in missed it soooo much I bought a 2019/2020. Watch deecaliboy (channel) he smokes 600cc and 1000cc bikes on the street in the bends ask Maxwrist (channel).
Cb or cbr? The CBR is a better choice for shorter riders (5'3 and under). R3 all around and Ninja 400 with slightly extra power but 100% still beginner friendly

I still have to get my 2003 BMW R1150RT-P running reliably so I can still pack up the kitchen sink and go on long highway trips and Iron Butt rides, but the R3 will be awesome for everything else, from commuting to local twisty roads to weekend trips to the mountains. I'm 51, and a smaller lighter bike is becoming very appealing for regular use; the 688-pound Concours is a king on the highway, but it's a pig of a bike for maneuvering and parking in the city, and a beast to toss around through tight twisty roads. The Beemer and an R3 in the stable should cover all the bases except dirt roads.
Had no idea that photo was Henning. The internet remembers.
I bought my 2020 R3 last month. I take my BRC next week. Wish me luck, squids.
Picking mine up on Wednesday, brand new rider. Im super excited but hella nervous lol
You gonna have a lot of fun such a sweet machin it is ❤️
You still got it?
@@cartier-8548 nope, traded it in for a 2019 gsxr about 4 months ago lol
@@itsmaki7203 you didn’t like it?
@@itsmaki7203 glad to know you’re still riding though
I’ve learned a lot from my R3 BUUT I cannot lie.. I did fiend for more power & the lovely sound of 3 or 4 cyl. Even though I did upgrade, good ol reliable is still in the lineup 👍🏽
How long did it take to want more ccs
@@walkerfharris sheesh, like after a month I was wanting more honestly but the r3 is doable. It’s fast enough for the hwy but you’ll be pushing it.
@@walkerfharris it’s all about your mindset. I moved on to a mt-09 and the extra CCs aren’t worth it unless you’re constantly getting into races on the freeway (stupid). Yeah it’s pretty fun screaming up to 100 in less than six seconds but honestly that’s all the extra CCs really let you do.
Yes your videos are one of the reasons I bought a R3 for my wife
I might be doing this backwards- My first street bike is a Gixxer 1000 (K5), now I'm looking for something a little more comfortable/ reliable. The Gixxer is awesome, on a smooth open road. It's no fun around town or in traffic, it's complicated, everything is expensive, the service intervals are every single time you look at it, and mine is like "afraid to scratch the tank" condition.
My second bike will be more of a beater, probably a SV650. Too bad $3500 Busas aren't really a thing anymore.
Loving my all black 2020 R3, thanks Yammie for helping me decide!
can yall pray for me, I just found a 2019 r3 for $1800
Let us pray to our lord's papa Yam and Rossi that the guy checking it out before me does not buy it.
Please I need all of the might of the squid army to help me
@Arthur Deranleau did you get the bike?
@@tylerjack6018 I did indeed
PAPA YAM! I just bought a R3 today! Thanks to your blessings of informations, tho may e I shoulda bought a busa 😂
No I want a Turbo Bussssssa!
CBR500R all the way, perfect amount of power and aftermarket support, I've slapped some raised rear sets and lowered clip-ons on mine and I'm absolutely in love with it.
I haven't even got my endorsement yet. I just only started getting into motorcycles within the last couple weeks and I'm going to look at a 2019 R3 tomorrow for only $3,100
When will you finally reveal the new giveaway bikes? Waiting desperately here papa yam
June 17th 🔥
@@yammienoob do you ship to UK?
_Just realised Suzuki don't have any 300cc street bike options._
_A GSX-S300 would be welcomed_ 😀
Vstrom 250 or burgman 400 😄
Two words. MT 03 2020. You won't be disappointed. Same engine as r3. Great bike, More comfortable
Literally the same bike. Just different plastic pieces.
Lmao...more comfortable.
I'm 15 and lookin at bikes. This is the only bike my dad might get me
Slxshie at 15?? here in the netherlands we’re allowed to ride an R3 at the age of 21..
@@sgflower4233 here in Canada you Can ride basically anytjing under 800cc at 16. Once 18, you can ride anything
It seems there's a competition of which to get R3 vs Ninja 400 ... I'm leaning towards the 400, well because it says "Ninja" haha. And like how it sits more upright. But then started seeing people say it has issues with false neutrals between gears, and having to replace the clutch every few months. Any knowledge on this?
Just bought one today, love it!
Dude thank you for all your videos! Finally pulled the trigger on an R6 (used to ride and a 300 just get too slow). Keep em coming!
I’ve had my r3 for about a year and a half now, and I can validate that i am not bored w the bike. If it goes 100+ how can it get boring? Imo unless you’re making money off racing or just a bigger guy there’s no need to guy a 600 or 1000. Learn the fundamentals and maintenance on a r3 and after you get comfortable riding upgrade if you feel the need to. 🤟🏾 all love to my yammie noobs
Got my yzf r3 last 2019. Thank for the reviews papa yam
I recommend the cbr500r as a first bike.
I started on a cbr125 and upgraded to the 500 a year later.
I've had the 500 for 4 years now and still love it. It has enough power to do whatever you want and is tame enough for new riders to learn on
I see why you like the Duke 390 so much but its hard to seriously consider it when it has so many reliability problems and I'm strapped for cash as it is.
Coming from a NMAX 155cc scooter....I absolutely love my Yamaha R3! 321cc will out gun most of the bike's I encounter in my part of the world anyway. LOL
I owe alot of my mechanical intellect to my rebel 500, hands down the best starter bike
My first bike was a 92 Suzuki Katana 600 and I could really feel it go sluggish when I had a passenger on the back. I think it had 84 or 86 HP.
What a coincidence. I was just thinking about getting an r3 sometime in the near future.
Me too, but I think I changed my mind to a Kawi 400. Love the looks of the R3 though!
I love mine. It's so much fun on backroads.
@@Philth_E what made you change. I'm barely gonna get my permit and still in the decision state
Fun fact : the 2019 R3 is the worst selling bike across the Asia market
Key word there is Asia
Just got home from my first ride on the 2020 r3 to work and back!!! First night ride this morning too I’m really loving this little monster
Your vids legit cure depression
i love this channel watch every day regularly and am taking my msf on the 29th and 30th and its all because of you papa yam. im a texas native also and love the content cant get enough and im now getting an r3 so thank you so much.
Been riding all My life
So far I love my little Baba devil
I got my A1 license(125cc) last week and i already crashed and broke my f*cking elbow yesterday. Rip my ktm duke ...
I just wanted to get this of my chest as i am currently in the hospital and have nothing else to do.
Play hearthstone on your phone
I Wish You a full recovery!, and with that the opportunity to restart your love for motorcycles, don't give up
I bought an 2019 KTM Duke 390. Austrian? Maybe but built in India and the worst thing I’ve ran into is the bolts, screws, etc are garbage. Stripped threads on welded in nuts, and using red lock tight on screws/bolts that hold plastic covers on. Sad cause it’s a great bike.
Y’all did a great job with this. Kudos
Why do motorcycle(and scooters for that matter), always feel the need to round up? They say something is 390cc, but it actually tops out at 373cc. A 500cc could be a 482cc. It's annoying when they do that.
I don't see how that's not considered false advertising.
Got me my first bike a couple of weeks ago and yammie noob video help out a lot to find the right one. Got me a 2019 r3 but I think I paid to much but it's all good I love it.. thanks yammie noob
I have an R1 but i love the R3, my friend has a spiderman custom R3
The Honda CBR250RR is so much better than the CBR300 when it comes to comparison with other beginer's bike!
In asian market, they have r15...it is a 150cc bike with vva headblock....the seating position are more aggresive than the r3...super great for track day and the price is not bad at all....you should search it
I finally moved up the ranks of the Noob Dudes and got me my first bike. Where all the squids in AZ??
Well now I feel old since when I started riding in mid 2000's the only option for smaller displacement was the Ninja 2-fiddy
I wonder if anyone from the stock video ever watched Yammie’s video and messaged him about it 🤔
How much do you think he pays for stock footage?
We pay for a stock footage library
Yammie Noob YAMMIE!!!! I love your vids man! Keep up the good work!
I meant like the actor or actresses just reach out to Yammie and be like “yo cool stuff”
Your thoughts on the ktm 390 was never close
It's a good bike
I would really appreciate it if Yamaha could just give the R3 Assist And Slipper clutch from the factory or the VVA Technology that they have. One more thing, redesign it like the R7 because I think almost all the R-series of Yamaha look the same as the R7 even the new 155cc of Yamaha which is the R15 Version 4 look the same as the R7 with a lot of cool features.
An r4 would sell great in my country(Philippines). We have this stupid law that requires a minimum of 400 cc displacement to enter the highway, so 300cc's don't sell that much here.
I mean motorcycles have come a long way since that law was made. The main reason they made the law was so that you wouldn't get killed by fast vehicles. A lot of 250 bikes nowadays could easily go a 100km/h (that's the speed limit).
Yep exactly why I started watching you nearly 8 years ago
Cries in Englands 125 limit :(
I`m getting the 2020 R3 tomorrow as a first bike....................
Started on R3. Had it for about 2 years but I just sold it and bought an fz8. The r3 was fun but was kinda getting bored of it. Love both bikes but fz8 is way faster and I like the adrenaline rush
I really wish Yammie Noob can giveaway motorcycles internationally. Here in the Philippines sports bike are very expensive
I was stuck on this one or the Ninja 400. So I go to my local dealership ans sat on both. Glad I didn't go with the ninja I don't like how I felt on it. The R3 I absolutely was smitten with.
The rear tire being 140 is a no-no for me
Its really difficult to buy an r3 here in my place and ive been wanting one for years now 😭😭😭
R u from india?
ha ha , only 300cc? get at least a lider bike or a busa , you can learn a lot more on a bike that have more than 175 bhp
That’s why I went straight from a ninja 250 to a 1290 super duke lmao, I can’t complain
@@NudaMan you stared with a 250? ha ha n00b , you should stared with at least a 1000cc
I bet you don’t even own a bike
Remz lmao hey cut me some slack, I never ridden before and wanted to start on something forgiving so I could learn how to rev match, then got bored of it in a week and got 2016 KTM 1290 SD, but thank god I work at a KTM/Aprilia Dealership 😈😈😈
TheNiceBiker he’s a troll. Almost 100% guarantee there is no way he can be this stupid. I hope...
I’m on my 2nd R3 I had a 2015 traded it in missed it soooo much I bought a 2019/2020. Watch deecaliboy (channel) he smokes 600cc and 1000cc bikes on the street in the bends ask Maxwrist (channel).
I actually bought my r3 in 2016 because of you xD
What do you think of the Honda CB300R for beginners?
R3 is a better buy.. go check out chase on 2 wheels small cc bike line up.
Cb or cbr? The CBR is a better choice for shorter riders (5'3 and under). R3 all around and Ninja 400 with slightly extra power but 100% still beginner friendly
Next time you do a cruiser video, PLEASE make a video on Honda VTX models!
Hi papa yam yam. You have inspired me to buy a yamaha r3 with your videos thanks papa yam yam
Cool video, I've always loved the R3.
