    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👌🏼

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?

It’s the best small displacement motorcycle you can get. Can’t wait to install the TST WORX Pack and enjoy some track days!

    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

    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.

    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 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 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.

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 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.
