"and you're not disobeying *that many* traffic laws!" my most favorite quote ever.
đđ LMAO!!!!
Mines too
So anyway we r going to disobey đ đ
Iâm 6â1â with a 34âinseam, and the R3 felt fine, and less cramped than the older model. Also, Iâve been riding for over 35 yrs, and thought the R3 was great fun.
we are going 75 in a 55 still speeding.... As a state trooper goes flying past.
That's Atlanta.
different ride for beauty shots lol he would have been going the limit for that shot
@@supraking85 GSP don't have time to play
supraking85 lol that makes way more sense lol still super funny he edited that in there right at that spot
In a construction zone, too! But it's more likely that they use b-roll for all of those shots, and is out of sync with what he's talking about

Well....that's Atlanta for you. Lol

Not just a beginner bike. I own a 2019 R3 and I've been riding for 28 years, it's a fantastic bike for the twisty Mt roads and a great bike to hone your skills on. A good rider can keep up with the big bikes on the right roads. I have had over 30 motorcycles including Ducatis currently in my garage I have a R3 and a wr250x love the small displacement bikes so much fun and it's fun leaving the big bikes behind when your on a small bike. And yes the R3 can bang wheelies have to stand it up in first but once at the balance point can keep the bike up even at 60mph
maybe you should try a naked bike.
@@peterpl2105 Have had a naked bike 2015 hypermotard SP. I think that would count, also had a Ktm 690 SMC.
You think itâs s good bike to finance as a first bike ? My friend pointed out I wouldnât keep it for too long cause its limitations
M Robinson I havenât started riding yet but once I do I plan to have me two bikes one as a back up. So if you get a bigger bike as a second this could be your backup.
@@mrobinson8686 absolutely a great first bike. And as far as out growing it goes yeah it's not the fastest thing out there but that's not the end all be all most important thing about a motorcycle the most important thing is that it is fun and puts a smile on your face and it definitely does that. It doesn't have many limitations you can go do a 400 mile ride and enjoy all of it. Like the saying goes. Its funner to ride a slow bike fast then it is to ride a fast bike slow.
Iâm a car enthusiast but i have recently found out that i have a soft spot for super sport bikes especially the Yamaha âRâ line Iâm planning on buying a R3 for my first bikeâđŸđŻđČ thanks bro for the review
It is not about the "speed"
Riding is about how you enjoy the ride/bike đ„
And I enjoy speed lmao
Your right on man.
If you want a 2020 r3 just go buy a 2019. I own one and itâs exactly the same as the new one. ( I mean exactly the same ) There is nothing new that has been added to any of it. Not even the fairings! It is the same bike head to toe but you can get a 2019 for cheaper. The R3âs are one of the most fun bikes to ride, just donât waste your money if you donât have to. Engine wise, Yamaha hasnât changed it since the 2015 model, so just find out what you like appearance wise! :)
came here for that follow car footage you were talking about in your interview with DanDanTheFireman's "After the Ride" podcast DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Found you 4 years ago via bike reviews as I searched for my first bike - love the direction you've continued to grow
Iâm 5â3â and planning on selling my 2019 Honda Grom for an R3- super excited.
I did the exact same thing, I enjoy the R3 a lot, pretty great compared to the grom.
why does it feels like the colour/ decals/ monster logo combination is a complete mess !! it will look far better in simple white like r6.. great review tho đ
Yes the more normal yamaha blue one looks way better
I think it's because they didn't want to make it green and look like a Kawasaki. Just an opinion though. But I feel like I'm 1000% correct on this assumption.
I'd be sold if it didn't have the monster logos. All the other decals look good.
Because it is a complete mess. Colours are all over the place and the Inter stripes are just disgusting.
There are other color variations you can get that look great. I have never liked these monster decals on bikes.
Definitely my spirit animal! Good to hear from those who've ridden bigbikes enjoying it even it it's a lower cc bike.
Your review on r3 has anwered all the questions and thoughts i had, thanku for ur a thoural review
This bike is my first one, Iâve been riding it since August of last year and Iâve been having so much fun on it.
Nice new production format + editing, Chase. Well done!
outro crew, gotta go with the R3, I got the 2019 (same bike) this past summer as my first bike. Aside from the blinkers being a bit fugly, I have yet to find fault with it. I feel super confident all the time with this bike, and it is so easy to lean and turn, enough power to make me giggle, looks the best in this range by far, and my local dealer gave it to, brand new, for 4100 out the door.
Lucky duck I'll probably just plan on msrp
I've watched countless videos about bikes and finally bought an R3 today.
How do you like it after 9 months?
Brakes are pretty shit but besides being a little buzzy on the highway itâs been pretty good. The transmission feels real tactile too and Iâve had no mechanical issues with it either.
@@stuartdavis5287 still same after 2 years?
@@JohnnyTesto nah there are way better bikes to start on now tbh. Just way more beginner options and the R3 has become outdated in its class now. I sold mine a long time ago for a bigger bike, but Itâs still a great bike but there are just better choices.
I'm looking for a first bike , any suggestions for better options?â@@stuartdavis5287
Oh wow the 2020 R3 definitely looks looks better than the 2017 I liked at and tested. It's sharper (less rounded gas tank) and has more defined lines- like a true supersport. That was one of the reasons I went with my RC390. Those headlights look fantastic too! The only thing I'm not too sure of is all of the stickers on it.
Thank you for the pictures you posted, get to see the bike I want as a wallpaper with amazing definition. âMotoâvation for sure!
R3 is a great first rider to not only build confidence but really hone in some skills. For more experienced riders, honestly R3 is great round towner. Nimble, good pep in the power band and little weight and heat for the stop and go traffic.
Just needs a 1 size up rear tire for better contact, stability at higher speeds (not sure if the new suspensions fixed that issue verse prev gen) and slightly more power and gearing for the 80 mph cruising mark which is the most realistic on us roads.
Thanks for the awesome video chase I liked the monster stickers on the r3
I love my 2016 R3. I started riding in 1978 and it is probably the most fun bike I have owned. That being said, due to the light weight, it is probably the scariest bike I have ever ridden on our highways here with the high winds we get. Double bubble and clipons help with headwinds but crosswinds are sketchy sometimes. All of my harley buddies get surprised when they find out their big 1800cc baggers got smoked by 321cc's in the 0-85 runs lol
I have owned motorcycles for years, Harleys, Yamahas, Suzukis, Hondas... But that R3 is the most fun I've had on a motorcycle since the Yamaha RD350! That YZF-R3 is not just a beginner bike, it's one that I've owned since 2016, and I have no desires to get rid of it. What it may lack in brakes it makes up for in engine breaking. What it lacks in acceleration it makes up in MPG. I have over 30,000 miles on mine, most of them commuting and some racing, and I just give it gas and oil, and the R3 gives me smiles abundant.
The r3 also has a huge performance base. I have some stuff coming in from spears racing to put on my r3! Cant wait to build her up!
Ahh..! I find this video satisfying man ! Love your videos! U gain a new sub bro đȘ
I loved the way you did this review. It was actually different. It actually helps the beginer people
Nice video great bike I might get one. I like Yamaha it between the r3 monster edition and the r6 but you made my decision a lot harder thank you keep ripping.
Excellent production and hosting. Great video.
Currently own a R15 V3.0 as a beginner biker! Wish to upgrade to R3 As soon as it is available in my country! Love Yamaha! The engine is real smooth in my R15V3.0
I started off drinking ever time you said 'engine braking' , but by 9 min in , I had a major buzz going. ;)
J/k !
Great video as always.
Thank you for doing this one a lot of people requested it
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!
Got my r3 last week for my first bike. Love it so far đ
I'm 16 and am hoping to get a 2019 r3 this summer as a commute to work. I've been researching fer abt a month now but there are not that many videos out there that have a good honest review. Luckily you made this one and it was just perfect. THANKS!!!
Same. 16 and getting a ninja 400 this summer
Same too but I am turning 17 in November and as soon as I graduate from school the R3 is what I am looking to get
I waited until I turned 18 to get my r3. Wanted it for 3 years and I'm quite happy with it. Plenty of fun to be had and great to learn on.
I want an r6 now just because more power would be nice but I plan to keep the r3 because it's just that great of a bike.
I am gonna turn 17 this Nov
Gonna get a RC 390.
"Your friends that dont ride aint gone know shit"
Me: Truer words never said lol
I bought a 19 R3 I love it my buddy got a 17 and itâs way different in suspension and handling mine out handles his bike any day of the week my suspension is also a lot stiffer then his
The graph showing how the bike preforms in different categories is cool but I kinda miss the specs you used to show. Any chance you are gonna bring it back?
Great video with all the info provided. Just bought a 2020 MT-03 and wanted to see the comparison to the R3
I got a sudden urge to learn about motorcycles, and Iâm here a YEAR after this was posted. Thatâs wild
Also: 7:30 đ
So I've been subbed for 3 years but I believe I will FINALLY be able to buy a 300 this upcoming May. You got me into these things and man all I want to do is ride!!!
Yamaha is running a decent special sale until Nov. 31.
What a beautiful Kyle bike.
Got a 2019 R3 (in white,ABS) As my first ever bike. And i love it. Got a little over 550 miles in the first month. Its a perfect bike to learn with. And for me, the brakes did get better.
How tall/big are you
@@warlock54 i am 5'7. 200lb. And i can flatfoot both feet. I have shorter legs, that was a big part of why i chose this bike. Being able to flatfoot makes u feel more Confident
Master Cole X2 gotcha! Iâm trying to start riding, I am 6â4 around 200lbs
I just feel Iâm going to be crunched in and also look too big for this
I want to get an r6 eventually but wanted to go the small big then big bike route but what can I do being this tall?
Some people tell me to start big, that I look mature enough to not do stupid things
@@warlock54 i would go to a bike dealership. And at some of the 650s (there taller and go some more power but are easier then a 600cc.) I wouldnt get 600cc as a starter. Wouldnt be safe.
Master Cole X2 thank you!
Love the R3
I love the camera work!đ
I love the new monster energy design...it feels like motogp bike.. i bought it right away after seeing one..
just got mine from them today a 2020 r3 i love it i recomend them all the way 3rd bike i bought from them
Outro : Hey Chase, love your work. The R3 looks impressive. I have a Kawasaki Vulcan S. Iâve been thinking my next bike may be a sport or sport touring. I love the thought of the Kawasaki 636, but itâs also super high dollar for me. Will the Kawasaki Ninja 400 be included in your small displacement sport bike series?
That thing sounds amazing!!
im a car guy and 6 months ago i randomly started watching bike videos and after this video all i can say is thats it im getting a bike license an an r3 lets goo whoooooooo
You've had a nice growth spurt since you rode the Kawasaki Ninja 400 with your 28" inseam. A full 4" growth is impressive!! ;)
I own a 2019 r3 and I absolutely love it I'm 36 5'9 and about a buck85 it's my first bike and I ride most everyday to work and on weekends got it end of June this year and it rips the curvy road (long way) and I'm very confident on it now I am going to move up to a bigger bike for sure but I'm going to keep this bike most definitely it's soooo much fun to ride and I've put on a slip on fender delete intergraded twilight flush mount front blinkers adjustable levers and it looks badass and I can vouch definitely a great beginner bike and fun ass road ripper... Oh and Chase I just live up in Cartersville I'm down for a cruise dude.. hahaha
You able to plant both feet down? Iâm 5â9 as well
Easily best R3 review I have seen. What an amazing job đđ»
Finally someone gave a detailed description of 5/6th gear highway speed regarding buzz/vibration (or lack of).
I still have to experience the continuous 85-95mph feel. Awesome fairing design and engine gearing from what I've heard.
Imo, the windscreen framed-out to the top with the fairing is a win over the extra hp of the Ninja 400 (which is an awesome bike too)
Finally somebody that does review on everything not only the bike but how it sounds and how it rides on the highway. Finished watching the your CBR 300R and Ninja 400 video. Trying to figure out what my very first bike should be. Zero experience
Did you ever get your bike?
Bought it yesterday in the tech blue colorway!đ
Solid 10! Love this bike
great review thinking about buying this
My favorite small cc bike all around. Wanted to love the 400 ninja, needed to love the ninja, bought the Yamaha. Complete Akro exhaust, lookin for intake options. Not sure a power commander is necessary but different brake pads are needed. They work but donât have the bite Iâm looking for. I agree on engine braking. Back in 1985 you needed to know how to use that. Brake just werenât all that good. This is just an all around great bike and a great addition to my garage. Now if winter would just go away here in the Northeast itâs about to be February
This guy said he's not a fan of tucking in. I absolutely love tucking in and it's one of my favourite things because of the aesthetics :).
I have to go look at it again. But I believe I will have one in the next year or so. Iâm sold!!
OC: fantastic bike, Chase! For a 300 I'd give it a solid 9.5/10. Lovely & informative video broâ€
2019 R3 owner- You can wheelie in first gear! đ
Chill
2017 r3 owner, very easy to shift gears while wheeling so go fasterđ
2019 R3 owner (beginner) - it is a great bike. Having fun with it. Long road trips are easy to do.
how? show me a video bro I also own r3 and want to learn it.
@@lonedrifter7446 I can wheelie on a 100cc motorcycle. It's all about the throttling, clutch release and the body positioning
I actually bought my own 2015 Rossi decals R3 just 3 weeks ago. I am a beginner rider and I would rather get the R3 than the Honda CBR 250. My friend has the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 and she loves her bike. They dropped her bike for her.
I can sit quite comfortably on my R3 without dropping the frame.
Love the R3.
really looking forward to getting my first bike either this summer or next and i really want a yamaha bc i ride a yamaha yfz450 atv, so was thinking about getting the r3 for the price and size. would this bike be a good idea?
Is buying a used R3 this late 2023 or early 2024 still a good choice? and which year too?
Having never ride any of these bikes but have seen every review on CZcams. I personally love the Rc390, it looks so amazing. But everyone seems to do: Ninja 400, Rc390, R3, CBR300R, GSXR250.
Outro crew, my riding is a 8.5 out 10. Just for the overall look and how useful the bike is.đ
Like your videos I bought my r3 looking at your videos greeting from puerto rico
I'm here saving to buy an r3 for my first bike hope it brings fulljoyment đ
@13:08 you say slow down to 75....the speed limit is 55, Iâm still speeding....and a cop passes you. Classic!!! đđâđ
Definitely my first bike. Will be on this baby by September đïžđŁïžđŁïžđïž
iâm really thinking about whether i should buy an R3 or an R6 Because iâm 6â2 (189 Cm) So iâm afraid that iâm gonna be cramped on an R3 i just think the R6 is a little heavy for my first Bike. Is 6â2 Too Tall For an R3?
great video and review!!
how did you film front and side when you're riding??
@13:07 epic timing of state trooper passing as he says he is still speeding
1- stand on the rear brake!
2- pull in the clutch!
3- put the transmission in first gear!
4- open the throttle a bunch!
5- let the clutch out!
6- how far/fast does it go before the engine stalls?
The parking brakes on a tractor trailer do vary little to slow down the truck. so much that, the parking brake can be engaged and the 18 wheeler still drives like normal... might hear the turbo start to spin if it even has one.
Sir I just want to ask you if its okay to run 60kph or more during the 1st month of breaking in the r3? I'm planning to buy it soon. Thanks a lot in advance
solid 9/10 for that r3
alright! ill get my R3 next week.!
Why donât you and yummir6 do anymore duel vlogs. Those were so dope. They always put a smile on my face. So if you can do that again that would make my world. Thx
Do they come with the monster stickers on them? That's kinda weird.
Honest question. I'm 5'9 and about 200 lbs. I love the look of the R3 better but would the Ninja 400 fit my size better? Ugh. The choices.
how is the clutch engagement point? close to handle or far? 2 finger for small hand ok?
I put my bets on the r3..was my learner and she was a beast
I thought about getting a R3 but I knew in a month I'd get bored of the power. so I went ahead and went with the R6. tbh best move I've ever made but I have rode a R3 and damn it is fun.
You got to get your hands on a mt-03 .. i think they hit showroom floors in feb 2020?
I personally think if you're in the market for an ABS model bike: if you're looking to ride on track, either find a disable-able system, one with cornering abs, or just don't bother. For street -only riders, its pretty essential; but the first time you're coming off a long straightaway and you grab a handful of brake, ABS can and will scare the shit out of you.
Chase what's your thoughts on a 08' zx-6r? I want one as my first bike
I hear the r3 is a great beginner bike. However I hear that sport bikes in general are not good beginner bikes. Iâve never drove a manual car but Iâve rode some 100c bikes occasionally. Is an R3 a good choice?
How do u turn and Iâm a first time rider and 5â7â do u think Yamaha r3 would be a great bike to learn on
I see so many R3 track bikes up at blood mtn tearing it up
I know you just got the MT-10 but if you find a way I would love to see a comparison between the R3 and the Mt-03
can't wait for you to try the new Kawasaki ZX25R. i might get it for the sound lmao
That speculated 19k redline. Gunna sound like an f1 car
Screaming 4 cylinder 250 with redline of like 20 000. Thats all the specs you need to make a purchase. Chuck a akrapovic on and we got a winner.
But that 9 thousand dollar price tag tho...
@@LARGO125 worth it.
There is no way they are gonna sell that in the US.
If I've ridden dirtbikes with more power should I just step up and get a CBR600RR? I'm about as experienced as it gets off road, on not so much
Wait wtf I looked at the same exact bike same colors same edition and everything today in Minnesota thatâs so weirdđ good video btwâ€ïž
Yo just bought the bike in this video from mountian motorsports. They mentioned that this guy test road the bike im buying in one of his vids, which lead me here. im 16 and this is my first bike. Its crazy fun to ride
I have a 2019 Yamaha R3 and the breaks were very bad when I first got it like how you were saying but if you give it a little from braking they are good.
i also noticed that, i always thought i imaging something cause brands new brake always better than used brake right? no? i dont know
hmmm, is Chase bias towards the r3 because of Holly?
Best thing is with this bike you tend to see some fully licensed riders on it. Near where I live there's a rider on an R3 that outpaces all the 600-1000's in the pack he rides in, and is very often near or at the front of the ride.
Hey chase!!! Are you excited about Kawasaki announcing a new 250cc INLINE 4!!!!??
Great video thanks, Iâm considering the R3 or the KTM 390 Duke as a beginner bike.
I had a Yamaha ybr125 back around 2008 for just over a year before getting my driving license, but itâs been over 10 years since Iâve driven a bike, so I feel a lower CC bike like this would be better for me than going for a 600cc to start with.
I will keep watching videos about good beginner bikes etc and see how i feel when the time comes.
You get an extra cylinder in R3, top speed is slightly more. But 390 accelerates more.
I've got a 2022 Duke 250.
