I've had my Yamaha R3 for over a year now. Chase, I don't know if you're pushing that R3 hard enough. When I'm riding through twisties I'm typically in 3rd or 4th gear but I'm at least doing 9000RPM. You gotta push to like 10k RPM to start seeing some real pull out of this baby. Great video though. The R3 definitely teaches you how to go up and down the gears efficiently. Also, filter is awesome
I've been wondering why I felt so slow on my bike I would be switching between 5-7 rpm and feel like bike asking to switch but I also feel there is more room for bike to rev some more just scared to like blow out engine.
@@KiDRiCH305 11.36Km/L (26.72m/g) here.. it hurt my but not gonna lie.. always at 9000 rpm though and do a lot of mad driving and acceleration.....

This isn't new or profound in any way. This has been known for awhile. I own a ninja 300 and love it. A big frustration I have is people who ride these bikes don't understand the rev range and constantly complain there's no power all while being at a lower rpm. They rev high. Ride them that way. Ride them correctly and it will blow you mind. This notion of outgrowing a small bike needs to end. You're only catering to your desire for speed/power and not your desire to be a better rider.
I've been on a 650 for my entire riding career. 3 years and 5 days, about 63000 miles. The only outgrowing one can ever do is actually being too large to be on a bike. I'm 6'5" and don't think you can really start reaching that point until you're at least approaching 7 feet tall. We need more 300s and less 600s/100s. All of the fun is under 50hp, people just don't know what they're missing
Thursdayftw 6’4, 37” inseam, Honda Rebel 250, and now Ninja 300. I had to ride the Honda from the back of the passenger seat. Ninja works just fine. Largest I’ll ever go is like a CBR650r, but if Honda brings back the CBR250RR(4cyl), I’ll probably just get that. Kawi’s got a ZX-25r as a global model. There’s a tiny chance, and some rumors of it coming stateside.
Dream bike is a 400cc screamer with 16,000rpm or more, In-line four, around 80hp, under 400lbs, 140mph. 160mm rear tire. Honda is ideal, maybe Yamaha, or just maybe Kawasaki.
Small displacement is awesome rode a 250 for two years and got to where I could keep up with friends or sometimes even lead the pack. Whenever I got my r6 I not only always led the pack but I often wait on everyone to catch up.
Its funny how I didn't appreciate the quality and the over all nature of your reviews and vlogs, and kind of started to take them for granted but realized this as soon as I looked in some other motorcycle related channels, like how good the presentation and the clarity is in your reviews/vlogs. I love you and your channel chase. Please don't change (as a person because you are a damn good one), we all love you for your hard work and mistakes and I appreciate the things that you are doing. It really makes a huge difference and makes us realize why we all are here, because we are one big fam and we love motorcycles. Much love 😉😋😍😘
Bought a 2017 R3 as my first bike about 6 months ago. I am extremely happy with my choice and felt confident after a few rides. Just waiting for the ole' thaw.
I put 20k on an r3 last year. 100% agree it's made me a better rider faster. Than those that started on 600 and 1k. They get left in the corners and in traffic. R3 is the best starter bike. Can't wait to hit blood in a track suit this spring.
I have a Ninja 400 and for learning and progressing in my riding style and cofidence, i think i had the best motorcycle. It's better to have something that you trust, than something that you have afraid! Cheers from Portugal mate, keep up the great work!
Even with a sports touring setup / commuter position hasn't stopped me from ripping it up and having fun. R3 would be something to use if you want a bit more tuck track feel. RC390 is a full on super sports tuck but for beginners with slower engine.
Thanks Chase!! I'm lovin my 2019 R3. Perfect for the canyons and yes you will have to work harder to keep up with the bigger bikes but it's a great learning experience for new riders like myself. Awesome footage BTW!!!
thats the thing ! most people underestimated small cc bikes as a tool to make you a better rider ! because the bike is not fast, you learn to preserve and maintain your momentum, and you will learn how to squeeze every last performance out of the bike.
Neil's and Hogpen Gap. Even that awesome car camera doesn't do those hills justice. Looked like a blast and great production quality as always. Thumbs up from the Athens area 👍
Great vid! I learned to ride in Okinawa on an NSR250 in the early 90's. I was told many times lower cc bikes were the way to start. There was everything from 125's to liter bikes (not that there was anywhere to really open them up) When you ride a 125 it's all about technique. You have to have the right speed going in, be in the right gear and hit the apex and accelerate out because as you said, you don't have the power to make up for it. I've been saying for years they needed to bring the smaller cc bike to the states. Friend had a VFR400, single sidearm and all that was fun as hell. I have an Indian Scout right now but I've been watching your vids and trying to figure out which of these I want to get. I live less than an hour from Sonoma Raceway so a track day wouldn't be to hard to do and about 10 minutes from work. I'm still conflicted lol. Wow, sorry this is so long
I'm a car enthusiasts who wants a motorcycle for a different flavor of motor vehicles and this video basically proved everything I thought this bike would be good for. I personally swear by the saying "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow". This bike seems to essentially be the miata of sport bikes and the miata is the epitome of this saying.
and here I have been enjoying my R3 since 2015 chase it sounds like a stock system get an aftermarket exhaust air filter and tune it and your gonna enjoy this bike so much more my friend who owns an R3 as well prefers to ride mine and gets a smile on her face everytime I offer to swap R3s for a ride
MT03 and R3 are - in my opinion - the best option if you want a bike to do everything you want. You can go to mountains, travel, commuting to work, and even prepair it to race in a circuit. I have a GSX750 but love my MT03. Very funny bike.
I ride a 2016 R3 It handles very well √ Gas mileage is 48+ riding hard 175miles per tank Gas milage is 75 if you baby it 275 miles per tank It is fun Light And built solid
Nearing 50 yrs old...Riding the big bikes no longer interest me. The R3 is plenty quick with great handling. I have zero need to go 140mph. Great bike, Great price.
Plan on getting mine at end of April. I think it will be all the bike I need to ride curvy country backroads. New rider. I want something light and easy to handle. I don't need or want a crotch rocket. The R3 fits me right and looks great. Cheaper to buy and cheaper insurance, than a big bore bike. Plus more comfy upright riding position. If I wanna play street Rossi, I can add a rear set down the road.
I have a Ninja 400 as well. But its set up as a sports touring. Not to say you cant do twisty on it. You can fix this by lower the handle bar heigh and getting a new rear set to be higher. Once you do that it will be a beast. Thats why all track bikes with 400 aren't stock. Overall i love my 400.
hey chaseontwowheels i agree man. it definitely made me a better rider i had a 2015 yamaha r3 movistar edition kinda like the one u got (special edition colour). ive had it for over two and half years as a first bike and then i traded it in for 2017 brand new left over stock honda cbr1000rr and which u did a video on 😁 but in saying that i miss my r3 , i should of just kept it tbh and have to bikes. awesome vids man by the way, and hello from Australia 😎👍🏼🇦🇺
swarnam verma thanks man and i saved up 1 entire year lol 😂 but yeah im gonna try and save some $$$ for an r3. r3 is really fun bike and doesnt make u brake the rules as quick as 1000s 😂
I own a an r3, fun exciting bike really but I outgrew it really fast since I've been riding yz250f and sometimes 450's dirtbikes on my younger days. If only Yamaha made an r5 to compete with Honda's cbr500r I would buy that imidiatley. Looks like I'll have to get the r6.
I've ridden Blood Mountain up the front and down the back many times. My Triumph Sprint RS with the 955i engine was easy because it could pull in any gear. After I bought the R3 in 2015 I found I had to work my fanny off to do the same thing. That 955i engine actually got better gas mileage at 50 mpg. Small bikes make you work, and big bikes don't. You need to find the new R7 and give us the feedback.
here we have the R25 not the R3. I find it under power but easy going very friendly kind of power. You can just take off in 2nd gear and you don't feel a difference. But once you reach at higher RPM you can feel the difference. For me it's a fun bike for street riding and commuting easy to lane split cause you don't need lots of power on the street. I have done some slow speed runs like coming to a spot and not putting your feet down this bike is quite well balanced
Two great videos Chase!! I always felt smaller, lighter, less powerful bikes would make you learn more, faster. As you said they're entirely unforgiving of being in the wrong gear etc as they don't have the oomph to make you look good. Brian is not so bad behind the wheel eh :D
Try starting on a Yafo-R125 couple of years back Australia learners how to ride a max of 250 mL and under these days we are allowed to ride 660 power to weight ratio limited like an MT07-LA learners approved 655cc not the 689 But for quite a few years the yzfr125 & CBR 250 were the most popular bikes to learn on in Australia
Great to have that front shot esp on the corners. You ride great, learned a lot from those scenes. Nice to be reminded to be on the right speed, gear, etc when approaching corners to maximize the R3 potential. Appreciate it! Ride safe. ... Btw, what's your height?
It is very very unlogic to all the people which have never tried driveing as you say "balls to the wall" that slower, less powerful machine most of the time is more fun when you push it to the limits. As the gearhead bible says, It is more fun to drive slow machine fast, than drive fast mashine slow.
Awesome videos chase we got the same name ! But i wanted to ask if you if buying a new 2019 r3 from the dealership for a thousand less than the 2020 version. Was wondering if you think that it be worth not getting the 2020 model . Love to hear your input thanks 0
Riding a properly focused, yet smaller displacement motorcycle is entirely in keeping with the idea of actually riding the bike, i.e. being a rider. We(or at least I) ride motorcycles for the connection between man and machine. Larger bikes can water that down, especially with all their features. I’ll get some shit for this, but it’s the internet, so I don’t care.
2012 ninja 650 or 2018 Yamaha r3 I’m 5’10 and 160 lbs. what’s the best choice ik it’s two different classes and cc of bike but I’m offered them in a trade deal
I'm used to this small engine and manual transmission on truck cars motorcycle and some times I Race some bigger engines I love when get behind me because they are so stupid they don't know how to rev the engine and shift properly
just saw this kid who rode his R3 for 4 months, sold it and got a gixxer 600. i antagonized him about it 😆 this fool learned nothing about cornering aggressively. he will still have the skills of a beginner, but with triple the horsepower. not a good combination
if you know anything about cars or vehicles at all. you know its not hard to understand cornering, the apex, and gearing. I'm not bashing the R3 it's a nice bike. will it make you a better rider? no. it's all about how you practice. so I disagree with you need an r3 to go faster...(also, I like how the title changed after a day because you did not get enough views)
The R3 absolutely can produce a better rider. Larger displacement bikes are great at covering up mistakes because they have more power. Why do you need to place a focus on corner speed when you can just take it slow and then go WOT on corner exit to make up for it?
@@SuzukiC41 yes you are correct you can just gas it out of the corners and be good, that's why i said its all about how you PRACTICE, you can practice good cornering on any bike. it's all about the rider, if the rider wants to learn how to be a great rider all they need to do is PRACTICE the size of the bike does not matter, so i disagree with the title that says "you NEED an R3 to go Faster"
bro, bikers with lower cc motorcycles are better at shifting yo.. we are trained on shifting because of our lower displacement bike.. I love my ninja 400 more than my R1 thats why I sold my super bike because you will get bored.. it feels like you are driving a scooter when you drive super bikes because you dont shift that much, while you shift and shift in lower displacement ..
Obviously you need to be in the powerband to have the power you require regardless of engine size. Obviously chase is a amateur rider who is only good for making good videos, but bad at anything motorbike.
@@herespresso He cant ride for nuts, based on his comments on how he cant pull out of the corner if he is not in the powerband. I mean isn't obvious he doesn't know how to ride a bike through the corner in the powerband in the right gear? LOL pathetic, he only knows how to ride Big CC bikes without being in the powerband and correct gear. I've been here since he started WBR 1 on the monster. you must be the new one.
False. Many of the more powerful bikes have power everywhere, so gear choice is a moot point. Some bikes pull as hard in 6th(at low revs) as they would in lower gears due to traction limitations. You will, of course, accelerate more quickly in the “powerband,” but only if you use the same amount of throttle in each case. You don’t have to be in the “powerband” to get moving on a liter bike(among many others). Some bikes have no “powerband to speak of(I.e. they have a linear torque curve), so twisting the throttle will pull about the same in that gear, regardless of engine rpm.
As sterling just said, that's not really true. Some big cc bikes do actually pull the same way even on higher gears. Which means you don't really need to shift as much because they have a much wider range. And since a lot of riders who aren't ametuers don't use traction control its always better to be on a lower rev range through a corner because the last thing you want is to back off the throttle even a little bit and the engine breaking on the bike is like "alright then you have chosen death" and send you right through the rear wind shield of that vw in front. Which is the whole point of the video. Of how these bikes are so different and how you can learn so much more than you can on litre bikes. He's not inexperienced in any way because he clearly knows what he's talking about. Inexperienced with lower cc's? Sure. Which is why he's learning about that and applying what he knows and you can see it in the way he rides. But inexperienced in general? Not one bit.
@@herespresso What both of you say is right. That i agree. He is inexperienced with lower cc bikes and thus is unable to ride them correctly or at least the way it's suppose to be ridden. He has only ridden on big cc bikes which means he doesnt need to be in the right gear to get sufficient power to pull him through the corners, however that being said, just because you have sufficient power to pull you through the corners, does not mean you should be doing that. Usually if you can handle a small cc bike well, you will do extremely well on a big cc bike, as all the basics is already right but with more power. He way he speaks in the video makes him look like an amateur as he does not know he needs to be in the powerband to actually pull him through the corners.

That was awesome chase the polarizer is cool. You should definitely use it more
Really digging the footage bro, looks great!
You have to add 360 camera on stick behind you for 3rd person view and incorporate it in videos :D that would look reaaaaaally nice
You're talking about footage like Max Wrist?
it's something my license teacher told me: a smaller bike as a beginner has the benefit you learn to switch gear

My R3 is being delivered in a few weeks. I live in a very mountainous country (Japan). This is gonna be awesome.
Great first bike.
chaseontwowheels what year is your R3? and what upper clamps are you using!? i love how it looks cut out. i have a 2015 hope to hear from you
well made video. just stunning 🔥🔥
R3 is my first an only bike at the moment
how much did the hanging next to the bike improve your cornering in this video? love the video chase!
Agree wholeheartedly!!!!
Smaller displacement bikes build better riders
Dealer had 4 R3s last night. Got there this morning and they were sold out.
Yeah glad I'm choosing one soon gunna go buy a 2020 cause those are the only ones in my state lol.
It is very very unlogic to all the people which have never tried driveing as you say "balls to the wall" that slower, less powerful machine most of the time is more fun when you push it to the limits. As the gearhead bible says, It is more fun to drive slow machine fast, than drive fast mashine slow.
I’m 6’2 and have a 34” inseam. Tall and slim dude. Would I even fit on this thing? I really like what I hear about it.
190kmh+ from 321!!!cc machine !! Woaaaww🙄😳😳😳 Yezzzz YAMAHA 🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
4 and 5 gears are the best gears for those turns
Is it good practice to lean off your bike while in sharper turns? I just kinda lean with angle of the bike.
Awesome videos chase we got the same name ! But i wanted to ask if you if buying a new 2019 r3 from the dealership for a thousand less than the 2020 version. Was wondering if you think that it be worth not getting the 2020 model . Love to hear your input thanks 0
wow you are totally a knee dragger lol, keep it up you are learning well.
Riding a properly focused, yet smaller displacement motorcycle is entirely in keeping with the idea of actually riding the bike, i.e. being a rider. We(or at least I) ride motorcycles for the connection between man and machine. Larger bikes can water that down, especially with all their features.
I’ll get some shit for this, but it’s the internet, so I don’t care.
2012 ninja 650 or 2018 Yamaha r3 I’m 5’10 and 160 lbs. what’s the best choice ik it’s two different classes and cc of bike but I’m offered them in a trade deal
I think the r3 is the best lookin in this class
man what's the point of riding behind a mini van? How can you have fun with that! We out run i20s with the R15!!!
1760$ to plate this bike in Quebec for 5-6 months
Technical riding
Leaned over 10 degrees
Still hangs off bike
Mentions difficulty keeping up with camera car
Hey dude, do you have mountain test review for the ninja 400?
Dem im thinking of getting one right now
What resolution are your videos filmed in Chase?
I want a polarizer and a ND filter, but i have a sony action cam. AND IT DOES NOT SUPPORT ND FILTERS!!!!:(
How did you keep the signal on like that?
If i have got 1000cc is that mean I must to go for 300cc bike to be faster?...
6:08
Chase do u have R15 V3 in ur country ..? if so do a review...Btw its a 155 cc Sports motorcycle. like a Ktm RC 390 but in a 155cc...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
US doesn't have the R15 like us.
And we don't have the R3 like them.😭
May I ask the type of helmet you're using?
thats a Ruroc
Where is this place...?
Please review also the MT03 pleaseeee chase
can you do a first ride on the cbr 500r please
So this bike is like the AE86 of motorcycles?!
Got my r3 last feb 4. Just like this one, monster edition. Nice machine
I want to get into riding I really want a r3 as my first bike or a ninja 400
I'm used to this small engine and manual transmission on truck cars motorcycle and some times I Race some bigger engines I love when get behind me because they are so stupid they don't know how to rev the engine and shift properly
How do you think the R3 differs from the Ninja400 in the twisties? I'm still torn which bike to get and i prefer twisty roads over straights/highways.
need to smash that bike harder dude, higher rpms
Is it just me or does it sound redlined the entire time lol
just saw this kid who rode his R3 for 4 months, sold it and got a gixxer 600. i antagonized him about it 😆 this fool learned nothing about cornering aggressively. he will still have the skills of a beginner, but with triple the horsepower. not a good combination
There's teenagers on 125s out there that are better at cornering than you are.
Me again what is your name
Go to California super bike school
if you know anything about cars or vehicles at all. you know its not hard to understand cornering, the apex, and gearing. I'm not bashing the R3 it's a nice bike. will it make you a better rider? no. it's all about how you practice. so I disagree with you need an r3 to go faster...(also, I like how the title changed after a day because you did not get enough views)
The R3 absolutely can produce a better rider. Larger displacement bikes are great at covering up mistakes because they have more power. Why do you need to place a focus on corner speed when you can just take it slow and then go WOT on corner exit to make up for it?
@@SuzukiC41 yes you are correct you can just gas it out of the corners and be good, that's why i said its all about how you PRACTICE, you can practice good cornering on any bike. it's all about the rider, if the rider wants to learn how to be a great rider all they need to do is PRACTICE the size of the bike does not matter, so i disagree with the title that says "you NEED an R3 to go Faster"
bro, bikers with lower cc motorcycles are better at shifting yo.. we are trained on shifting because of our lower displacement bike.. I love my ninja 400 more than my R1 thats why I sold my super bike because you will get bored.. it feels like you are driving a scooter when you drive super bikes because you dont shift that much, while you shift and shift in lower displacement ..
MT10 pleaseeeee
There's a company called wicked_motorsports_atvs on instagram that dose 2 stroke banshee swapped on these r3 worth a look
@chaseontwowheels would you be intrested in testing a custom wicked motorsports r3 ?
Obviously you need to be in the powerband to have the power you require regardless of engine size. Obviously chase is a amateur rider who is only good for making good videos, but bad at anything motorbike.
Safety First hahahahaha this is the funniest thing I’ve seen today. Chase is an amateur rider hahahaha. You MUST be new around here 😂
@@herespresso He cant ride for nuts, based on his comments on how he cant pull out of the corner if he is not in the powerband. I mean isn't obvious he doesn't know how to ride a bike through the corner in the powerband in the right gear? LOL pathetic, he only knows how to ride Big CC bikes without being in the powerband and correct gear. I've been here since he started WBR 1 on the monster. you must be the new one.
False. Many of the more powerful bikes have power everywhere, so gear choice is a moot point.
Some bikes pull as hard in 6th(at low revs) as they would in lower gears due to traction limitations. You will, of course, accelerate more quickly in the “powerband,” but only if you use the same amount of throttle in each case. You don’t have to be in the “powerband” to get moving on a liter bike(among many others). Some bikes have no “powerband to speak of(I.e. they have a linear torque curve), so twisting the throttle will pull about the same in that gear, regardless of engine rpm.
As sterling just said, that's not really true. Some big cc bikes do actually pull the same way even on higher gears. Which means you don't really need to shift as much because they have a much wider range. And since a lot of riders who aren't ametuers don't use traction control its always better to be on a lower rev range through a corner because the last thing you want is to back off the throttle even a little bit and the engine breaking on the bike is like "alright then you have chosen death" and send you right through the rear wind shield of that vw in front. Which is the whole point of the video. Of how these bikes are so different and how you can learn so much more than you can on litre bikes. He's not inexperienced in any way because he clearly knows what he's talking about. Inexperienced with lower cc's? Sure. Which is why he's learning about that and applying what he knows and you can see it in the way he rides. But inexperienced in general? Not one bit.
@@herespresso What both of you say is right. That i agree.
He is inexperienced with lower cc bikes and thus is unable to ride them correctly or at least the way it's suppose to be ridden.
He has only ridden on big cc bikes which means he doesnt need to be in the right gear to get sufficient power to pull him through the corners, however that being said, just because you have sufficient power to pull you through the corners, does not mean you should be doing that.
Usually if you can handle a small cc bike well, you will do extremely well on a big cc bike, as all the basics is already right but with more power.
He way he speaks in the video makes him look like an amateur as he does not know he needs to be in the powerband to actually pull him through the corners.
Watch on UA-cam channel decaliboy vs Maxwrist he destroyed Maxwrist on a CBR 1000rr on his R3 in the mountains!
Give me the bike I can ride 200% better than you
That's a low bar to set. I'm sure you can do at least 300% better
You didn’t even really lean the bike. Amateur
He wasn't wearing the proper gear + this bike ain't his... (he said it in the first video)
@@ParadiseBiker I'm ATGATT (including riding pants/full height riding boots) 98% of the time and even I'd ride this bike harder while squidding
@@ParadiseBiker I only have Rukka textile gear and I lean my bike over more than him. It's not hard to do.
Chase, no offense, but you're barely even riding that bike. LoL. It's hard to take you serious at those cruiser bike lean angles man.
