It's been 5 years now and here are my thoughts of 5 years of ownership of my 2015 Yamaha R3!

Dude I love my r3, I'm just scared sometimes I ride it too hard. But it's good to hear that yours has lasted so long. That gives me confidence

Is it still running? I'm doing my research on r3

I got a 2017 R3 with 1000 miles on it last October as my first motorcycle. Within a few rides I felt very confident. Ive got 2k miles since, and am extremely happy I went with the R3. It is very friendly with how much throttle turn it has. Even the stock tires are very decent for a budget motorcycle. Find a twisty road and the R3 is right at home. The bike seemingly weighs nothing, once you find your corner exit, giving it an open throttle would make even an experienced rider giggle. My bike came with an M4 exhaust w/ cat delete which sounds surprisingly good. TLDR The R3 is an absolute hoot, even if you've ridden [insert name] that has 100 more hp. Just like he said with his scary track bike made legal XD

Been riding 27 years, racing and all, just bought a R3 for my son, and i want it for myself. It's an excellent bike, where i can do everything with the bike that i want to do, and it's a bagful of FUN. When my boy is finished with it......I am tracking it.

Would you say it's better to buy a new one or used for a beginner's first bike?

@infinitreality 4 ай бұрын

@@justbeingfia Used for sure, you will more than likely drop it as a beginner. Save the money from buying new and get some frame sliders to minimize damage,

The r3 is badass man. I switched it up to an mt07 but wish I still had it.

@YamahaZEDOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

Mt07 is definitely a great option to come from the r3! Can always pick up a used one up pretty cheap now 👌

@breakwood8531 4 жыл бұрын

Very well said, you nailed the review of ownership. I regret selling my R3, was my first bike for 2 years and i love how easy it is to ride, and how light it is. The only thing i don’t like about the r3 is how short the gearing is.

@YamahaZEDOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

For sure! Definitely agree with ya on the gearing, it can be a good and bad thing lol

Thanks man! Yeah still in the area! I currently don't have any recommendations for buying used besides checking local ads on Craigslist/cycletrader. I bought my r3 new at Maxim Motorsports in Allen,Tx, see if buzz is there and he'll take care of ya! Since the r3 has been out for awhile, can probably find a cheap one used for like $3k-$3,500 with low miles. Hope this helps!

Yo nice vid I got a question, what age were you when you got this bike and do you suggest this or the Grom for a beginner bike?

@YamahaZEDOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

I was 18 when I got the r3, me personally I would recommend the r3 over the Grom as a first bike. Don't get me wrong, groms will help with the initial, but I feel it lacks a bigger bike feel, thus giving false confidence. Then when you hop on say a 300 sport bike, it's going to feel completely different, maybe too different. Just my opinions though, others may disagree, I'd recommend starting on a larger bike (larger than the Grom I should say)
