I BOUGHT A KAWASAKI NINJA H2!!! >>>>>>>>>> th-cam.com/users/shorts0pITUFNB-H0
Worth it to upgrade from cbr300r if I just want a lil more power or something maybe a lil bigger like a 400
?
@@TheAdawg5 Depends on what you want and need! I have a cbr500r and i love it. But since you already have some experience you can go for the CBR650R if you don't want a full on supersport like a 600 or 1000
@@atem8101 yea this seems logical or a ninja650 only thing I don’t seem to like from them is they don’t use clip ons from stock
@@atem8101 and really just want a fast 0-60 times after that nor really interest in going faster than 120 for the near future
R3 taught me so much as a rider. It’s an incredible bike, I’m so mad someone stole mine. It’s a bike you can keep as a daily, inexpensive, handles beautifully and enough torque for street riding and 110 ish top speed
Where was your bike taken? Sorry to hear
It is too sexy. I'm afraid of someone stealing mine.
@@x-ray3431to the GHETTO cuz
@@user-vn8ps9eg3bhe didn’t say he started on it, just that it taught him so much. I would imagine he meant about riding in general like what to look out for
I know what happened to your bike..
2023 r3 rider here. First bike ever. SO WORTH IT!
How is it riding hwy and or long trips, im looking to get one real soon!
I started on an R3 then moved up to a CBR600. Just yesterday I traded back down to an R3 and I’m remembering everything I loved about this bike! Very light, super maneuverable, quick, and better mpg than my 600. Although I’m going to miss the acceleration and speed of a bigger bike, I prefer this one as my daily commute (especially here in LA traffic) 😊
Do you still own the R3? Having a hard time between this and the mt03 haha
@@GrimAbstracthad the same issue...went with r3...tank on mt03 felt too wide for gripping...egos not bad on r3...rode 2hr plus on mountain highway and coast and seating position was fine other than the seat...
@@MrVincinzo how you liking the r3? I’m looking at getting the cfmoto 450ss, I love the way it looks and I was able to check it out in person the other day, fell in love haha
@@GrimAbstract I like it alot...I just bought in Feb and already put 4300miles on it...easy to ride and still can get up pretty good in 4th to about 75 before it starts to redline...ill prob keep it but I do plan on getting another bike next year...can do highway just fine and pulls pretty good...I just need more power😬😂...I just seen that cfmoto recently...looks pretty dope...
@@GrimAbstract hello from 7 months in the future. i have the same dilemma because i'm buying new. too traumatized from buying used cars lol
My first bike was an R3, rode the absolute piss out of it for 5ish years before trading up to an MT-09. Ngl I still miss the R3. Sure it left a lot to be desired in the suspension and the engine isn't exactly the most exciting, but goddamn it was fun to just rip around at full throttle everywhere. Every ride is a motogp qualifying lap with how you can just thrash it around.
Have this exact bike - same color and year. Traded up from a Grom and couldn’t be happier. Gets a lot of thumbs up.
By FAR the most underrated motorcycle channel on TH-cam. I don’t know if that’s because of the fact that you’re actually honest, or that you say the things about bikes that people like to ignore (loud pipes don’t save lives and the like), but you’re my favorite motorcycle channel by a long shot. I am a far better and safer rider because of you!
me too , he taught me how to ride in msf. he’s forsure thinking out loud but when ppl don’t like what a youtuber says just watch another video , or be wise n take the information with a. grain of salt but like he says he needs to try out a bike before saying his 2 cents
He has great tips but he has an arrogant/egotistical personality that many like me reject him for
Loud pipes make a rider known, so that would decrease them being hit by someone not knowing they are there.......
@@drsrsv8884 Yes that's the argument everybody makes. It's the argument I used to make as well. Unfortunately this is an unfounded claim. There's only anecdotal evidence to support this. The majority of the people that support the "loud pipes save lives" argument are doing so in an attempt to convince themselves that investing in an aftermarket exhaust system is a good investment since its for "safety," instead of being honest with themselves that they want it because it sounds cool and could lead to a slight performance increase (after a tune). These are the same people that could have used the money they spent on their yoshi slip on and invested into good quality riding gear, something with actual data to support its safety
My wife has one, I used it for a few days when I first got my full UK licence - so light and forgiving for what it can give you in terms of fun.
I still have my 2016 R3 with over 55k, what a great bike. Not to slow and not to fast, fun to ride.
I picked up the 2020 MT-03 as first beginner bike and it has been great. 2k miles on the bike and still enjoy it a lot. Super fun in the twisties. Only thing I’ve been missing is more power on the freeway.
Take your time. Learn to ride that mt03 like the wind. Always wear gear. You want to see what those 300 and 400s are capable of. Go to the track, you will get your feelings hurt on a 600 from some guy passing you in a corner on a 400. Grab you a mt07 or R7.
The little bikes have some forgiveness. The bigger ones do not. I started on a r3 years ago, and now I ride a R1. Tried the MT10 as well. Very very fun bike but I'm a super sport guy for the moment.
I'm with you on that, my first bike was an 2016 R3 & I just traded it for a 2004 GSXR1000 (quite a big jump) and like you said the power on the freeway really lets it down hence why I skipped the 600 stage and went straight for the full liter. Speaking from experience though, you're going to miss the MT03 trust me, the 1000 is fun as fun can get on the freeway but anywhere else I'm just babying the throttle trying not to loop it. I miss going full throttle from stand stills. Definitely take your time with your MT03 it's alot more fun on short & twisty roads
@user-vn8ps9eg3b some people live in cities and unless you get like a super moto. It is hard to learn on a dirt bike if you are in a concrete jungle. Now if you got some land to learn on and some actual dirt, I definitely agree. Some people don't have trucks or friends with trucks to haul a dirt bike around to places to ride when they want too. A street legal super moto would prob be a better option.
I recently bought 2023 ZX6r as my second bike. The reason for this purchase was because i thought more power means more fun. *I WAS WRONG* .With my R3, it's night and day. I can push my R3 to the fullest, a complete lean with no effort, much more comfortable seating position, and above all, my legs don't cook from riding prolonged periods of time.
I do not enjoy riding the zx6r. And for that reason, I'm gonna sell it. P.s I've had it for 2 days. Man do i *LOVE* the R3.
I think you need to sell the zx6r and buy an R6 for comparison, and report back :)
@@RobertMorgan I'm gonna put a second fan on it. Tune it, so the fans kick on earlier. I've been looking at aftermarket clip-ons; like the vortex clip-ons 0 degree, and woodcraft 2 inch clip-ons risers.
I think I'll pick up the R3 over the MT03 as a beginner bike. Thanks for the review, man.
Ninja 400 is a better beginner bike. Better price to power ratio
Get a Ninja 400 or z400
the extra 100cc pulls off from a dig hood , kinda like the r3 and ktm 390 combined
@@MotoGearSolid you right tho haha
Good choice. The If you were gonna go the Naked Bike route I’d of recommended the Duke 390 over the MT-03
Just got the 2023 Yamaha R3 Phantom Purple for my first bike, love it! Good daily when I don't want to drive my S3.
My first bike in 2017 was an r3 and just recently upgraded to a Daytona 675r. Man was the r3 a great starting bike though. The only negative would be passing on the highway going above 80mph
I have that exact blue 2022 R3. I love mine!! My son just bought the 2023 purple R3.
I’m 5’6 1/2, 128lbs. The R3 serves me perfectly well and is pretty quick on hwy without trying. Your review is just 1 side of the coin for bigger ppl
Beginner or not its just a great bike , honestly alot of these 600+ riders need one so they can actually learn how to ride instead of how to twist a throttle
Awesome. Thanks for reviewing the R3. I'm always super interested in your opinions for basically anything motorcycle related.
Wow, that R3 bike has been in production for years and it is still a fun bike, I love it but most of all I like the way it is almost the same size as the 1000cC Gixxer . Great review thanks.
I bought the 21 monster livery edition to mess around and have fun on until my son is ready to ride it in a few years here. We take it to the parking lots and he gets some practice in. Such a fun little good looking bike.
I just put Michellin Road 6 tires on my 2020 R3. It's my rain or shine commuter. I love that little bike 😉
New rider, bought this bike in sept. 22 and I just love it, great review 👍🏼
I bought the R3 60th anniversary edition, installed the Yoshimura AT2 slip on and makes a slight difference on the pull but overall a very satisfying experience and keeping it as a second bike.
What's your first
@@WugaziiSaw the artist rendering of the 2024 Honda CB1000R which is suppose to be the actual prior to release. If possible I'm going to purchase it and the R3 which I find to be a total blast to ride will go as my secondary but I won't sell it as it's that good imo.
Great, thanks man. I’m looking at this bike for an everyday/track bike. This seemed fun. My local group (CO based) highly recommends a 300cc for first track bike.
1st bike ever and 1 year later I still love my R3. I was considering upgrading to a 500cc/600cc but the R3 just has it all.
Been living with a '21 R3 for a year now. Sorry Greg, I have only put 6k miles it so far 😜 Fun, lightweight, nimble, sporty and forgiving. More than enough power to keep up with Cali freeway traffic. Yes, the R3, like all bikes in this class, lacks top end speed but loves to corner like no other. It is a dream in the twisties.
Agree with you on the brakes. Initial bite is lackluster but is easy to live with once you get used to it.
I had an R3 before my R7 & Ducati Streetfighter and absolutely loved it. Good bike, fun commuter.
Traveling on the highway was fine?
@@uncoiledfish2561 Not my favorite, as I am light and the bike was light. I got blown around a lot. But power-wise, fine.
@@uncoiledfish2561 I managed to hit 180kmh (120mph) on one once, 6th gear redline. There's faster highway bikes out there but there's always gonna be something faster no matter what you ride (unless you own a H2R or a modified H2)
Is the R7 just a bigger engine version than R3? So its still feels simialr?
@@metaldreams3595 R7 has much much more aggresive ergonomics. Engine wise, its torquey with cp2 block. R3 is more like a naked with fairings overall while R7 feels like a weak sportbike.
If you are a beginner, make sure to check the insurance cost before buying a motorcycle, R3, Z400 or any naked/sports bike will cost you about $130/mos, any cafe racer, cruiser are only about $30/mos for comprehensive ins.
The most fun bike ever and it’s extremely good looking.
This is my first bike ever and i love it. I dont think i ever let it go
I bought a 23 Grom for my first bike and it has taught me the fundamentals at a pace I could handle. I grew out of it within a month (put 500 miles on it) and am ready for something bigger. Looking at this or the MT-03
Both bikes are good, but you'll appreciate that fairing if you do a lot of highway riding. Oh, and it's easier to keep clean!
Thanks bro, legit bought this exact one from them today.
Everything else aside, that is one great looking bike. I've been away from the sport for a while, and I've never liked those big displacement monsters, so that little Yamaha is definitely going on my top five list of bikes to consider buying after I move to Escondido from Tucson next month.
Yeah it is great. I've been been riding one for a bit over a year now as a more or less new rider and I'm constantly surprised by how much power is actually in a 321cc engine. I've had it up to 100kph in 2nd gear. Course it was basically red lined.
Any mechanical/quality control issues over that time?
@patrickfitzgerald2861 not that I have had. There are a few things I don't like, but they are personal preferences, not mechanical problem.
@@ADobbin1 👍
Man, when I started out we never had bikes like this to choose from.
My first bike was a BMW S1000RR. You can start on anythingif you are old enough in Europe.
Awesome. I actually went & sat on a R3. It is way better then the KTM RC 390 with respect to sitting for somone one 5'7" to 5'10" & being flat foot
Wow some don't have fuel guages?! At the least a sight glass on the tank you'd think! Lol. New bike reviews are always cool to watch.
Greg, let me be honest. I clicked on the video, clicked LIKE before even the time reached 0.04. Thank you! I sincerely feel middle weight motorcycles need to be reviewed more than liter class.
It's not middle weight it's an expensive beginner bike.
Started on a 2022 gsxr 750 , 1 year later riding like a pro & never dropped my bike nor wrecked . (Mind you) I was told by everyone friends , family other bikers that I was gone die , crash or drop my new bike. What now 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻 tearing up these streets like a demon. Self taught. All I got to say is , don’t get over confident, lots of studying , & baby step EVERYTHING, till you get it 101% . & self control is #1 key 🔑 to not hurting yourself . besides a shitty driver hitting you etc but yeah. Do whatever tf ya want 🙏🏻 & if you know how to drive a Manuel car you will get the mechanics of how a clutch works on a bike 🏍 easier………& actually got My bike from
Here as well DEL AMO 🙏🏻❤️🔥
How long before you were comfortable on it as a new rider ? How long before someone 6'2 get sore spinning around on it ?
This is my first bike just got in in November I’ve loved every minute spent on it. It’s plenty fast I can easily hit highway speeds love how light and agile it is !
He kept saying great second bike, do you think thats just a matter of opinion or would you suggest a smaller bike first?
@@trayvonallen8811 smaller bikes are much better to start on in my opinion so you can get used to riding with a lighter, smaller bike.
@@BL4ZK1NGi honestly have to agree with you.
learn your balance and muscle memory before getting that heavy metal hell yea.
Thinking about picking one up next month. Would yall recommend or is there some better options out there?
I'm just casually watching this video for the first time and I didn't even realize that I'm familiar with where you are at. Lol I don't want to say it just in case you don't want to disclose it. You're close to where I live.
Would definitely change out those turn signals for leds and the entire exhaust gotta go but it’s a seriously fun bike and for someone who collects cobalt glass this color is perfection
Had a 2020 R3 ABS in flat black to get me back into riding after a looooong hiatus. Rode it for a year, had fun modding it a bit and became a better rider than I used to be thanks to this bike. Eventually sold it and upgraded to a more potent 984cc V-Twin, my Buell XB9SX which I love but wouldn’t mind having another R3 as a second bike.
Started riding in may 2020 on the S1000XR, as my first bike.
Today I have 75000 kms on it, and I still don't feel the need for an upgrade. Big grin after every ride.
If I started out on a 300/400 , i had to convince my better halve twice already that/why I needed another bike.
Only a good choice since you’re still alive, most riders would do much better starting on a 300.
yap!also easy upgrade bike for needed 😊,thanks sharing 👍
Maybe a CB300R at some point? I'm curious how you like the lightest and lowest CC machine in the "small street bike" class. If you're ever out my way near San Antonio, give a shout.
been riding mine daily for 1 year, and put 14,000 miles on it. i could write an entire paragraph about this R3. but long story short, this has been an excellent tool for learning cornering and body positioning on, i have passed plenty of 600s in the corners 😆 the footpegs do drag a bit when you getting really leaned over in tight corners. but when i feel them dragging, i straight the bike up, which has probably saved me from low siding. awesome cornering machine right here!
I own a RC 390 and I'm fed up with the problems of KTM.
I don't want to upgrade as I have the sufficient power I need already.
Since Ninja 400 is discontinued.
I think I'll sell my KTM and buy the R3
Same here in the Apollo Beach area of I75 80 to 90 average speed. Not counting rush hours. Dead slow then.
Yamaha makes awesome bikes. I grew up riding them
For some reason i read it as R1 as a beginner bike and i am like whatttt !!!!!!!!!!!
Just waiting on the sportster S review. Curious on your thoughts!
That fuel gauge thing baffles me too. My buddy has a 22 ZX10R and he doesn't have a fuel gauge lol.
i want to buy my first bike as a beginner in sportsbike also im stuck between R3 and the R15M theyre both good bikes actually
I agree about the brakes this is my first bike but the brakes don’t inspire much confidence. I prefer to feel the bite so I can know it’s engages and apply Yamaha champions riding school about the first 5%
What are the differences between the 2020 Yamaha R3 and the 2022/23 R3's?
I was planning on getting the new R3 in India and this was reassuring. Now I just have to wait for the bike to launch here
I think it's perfect for India. Bigger bikes will heat up and there are no roads to go faster. But pillion seat is almost useless.
I had one briefly. I guess I’m too used to twins. I found the R3 geared way too low. Basically have to be in 6th gear to hit 60
This bike needs an update like making it 400cc so that can keep up with the Ninja 400 or ktm 390 when the mt03 starts to hit the market it's for more look like a big bike than r3
could you please try hornet750 and mt 03 too
I get my license in a month and plan on getting one as my first bike and was wondering if it’s perfect for someone who has never rode a bike
Do most Yamahas specifically have a wooden brake feel? Presumably due to the pads?
I debated this or the 2022 RC 390 for my first bike. Got the 390 for $4600 new so I went w that.
Custom license plate: SKWID
You didn’t pay $4,600 for a new RC390. Even with a big discount the dealer wanted $7K out the door.
First to your channel, and subscribed.
Nice explanation.
Would you recommend this as a good bike for my L’s?
Thinking about going to this from a kawasaki z125 im a new rider very comfertable on my 125 im a pretty big guy tho any thoughts?
i wouldn't mind seeing a 2023 MT03 for a pure nuts to bolts comparison
The brakes may be to try and save new riders if they happen to panic and grab a handfull, then again if its got abs that rules that out.
That's is actually a pretty bike and good on Petro by the time this bike dies all vehicles will be electric anyway tho I believe but whatta I know
I actually like the brakes on my R3. It gives better progressive control.
Rather than the stupid super sensitive ones on other bikes that even a small touch locks the wheel and you have to take care of millimetres of depression while riding & steering on bumpy roads. Never made sense to me.
This is gonna be my first bike :)
I wonder if you'll be able to test ride a Yamaha R15M next, or maybe a Kawasaki ZX-25R
still confuse should i pick the r3bor cfmoto 450
Absolutely torn between a n400 KRT and a r3. Love the krt but the r3 is cheaper..
Beautiful bike
Can these come in automatic? I’ve never driven standard before and the bikes I’ve had previously are automatic
Big fan here!!! Can you review zx4rr?
The R3 is a great bike. Beginner or not... It's a great bike. Will it kick you back at 100mph. No. Will it entertain for miles on end. Yes.
What's the seat height on r3?
It can be a great track bike as well
It's on fire 🔥 mood
Most probably will buy this as my first bike
I will never sell my R3 toy. Its very cute.
Is this the same as the yzf-r3?
Do bikes need break-in period nowadays?
What is the mileage on 2023 R3?
What is that bike at 3:52 please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yamaha has an R15 bike 155cc here in India. The R15 v4 has more beautiful look then the R3. It gives 45-50kmpl mileage. But the riding posture is not good for daily riding. On the other hand the R3 has the better riding posture for daily commute.
Yeah that's because R3/R25 have less aggressive riding position and lower seat height, R15 gonna kill your back after 10 minutes ride
Is it 180 degree firing order?
is his speedometer in miles per hr or km per hr????
But what is the top cruising speed not the max out speed but the top cruising speed without redlining
Brother could you plz tell me is this bike Indian or Japan
10-05-2023.Does any body make a shaft drive 500 550 any more, heared there bring mid cc saft drive bikes back ??
😲 ito maganda to sa mga matatangkad na rider,it much taller height 200 cm A man.
The display is nice but I still perfer the older models version
R3 is the only bike I wanted to buy after driving it for once. It’s the one bike I want to have. I will though, someday.
Been looking into an r3 or ninja 400 I’m 5’5 so kinda curious as I’m a beginner as well currently signed up for classes
Id go with the R3 for the choice of an upright or tucked in riding position I think you can learn a lot more being able to ride in both positions due to how the pegs/bike is designed. From beginner bike to those experienced that can also utilize that aspect into making it a more or less FUN/daily/commuter. Im in the same position as you looking for my first one...after a few years of putting it off, ive grown to have interest in the R3 myself.
This or the 400 ninja? Looks wise this for me
What about the quick shifter
