This is a very high quality build. I like everything you’re doing to this bike. People shy away for the r3 because of the “beginner bike” title. I had one in 2017 and just bought a new 2023 last week because out of all the bikes I had since the 2017 R3, R6, GSXR, and the 996 I haven’t had as much fun as I did on the R3.
They are practically identical gearing. I found 60mph is roughly 7k rpm which may seem high but these engines like to rev. It’s comfortable though. I cruised at 70 and it was still fine and not ringing out. I tried to top it out but really didn’t have enough room today and I hit 95mph and had to let off. I will try again tomorrow but I am thinking maybe 102 ish??

Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate it
Congratulations for your bike, I watched your videos before buying mine and I simply love it, this may be the most underrated sportsbike ever
What are the differences when it comes to performance daily ride and top speeding, between 16 55 and 13 45. Thank you

Top speed with this gearing is 106mph that is with me being 205 lbs with full gear.
The black front fender. Did you paint that yourself? What paint did you use. I’m looking to paint all the gray pieces on my r3
No I purchased them from partzilla. They are stock flat black. They really are inexpensive.
