    R3 hands down is the all rounder. Its a decent track machine and a cool tourer.
    RS 457 not so much with its committed stance and low fuel economy.
    Similarly R3 is not a track beast. It is a decent challenger at best. Thats it.

    • @zigwheels
      @zigwheels  Před měsícem

      Great choice Varun! Just that you'll have to shell out quite a bit extra 😓
      But you will have a very good bike in your hands. And trust us, as comfortable as the R3 is, it'll still make for a fantastic track bike!

    Yamaha only is responsible for its fall. R3 could have been such a hit had they done some tech updates and priced competitively. But Japanese companies never learn from their mistakes

    • @zigwheels

      @@zigwheels I agree. For me those tech are not important. But I said just in general sense because that's what matters to many.

    Let's be accurate - the R3 is not 'retro', it's simply an older model. Yamaha is dumping its outdated stock at a premium price.

    Arguments being made for Yamaha R3 is just plain stupid as if they are justifying hard to compare R3 with RS457. Its correct that if you want practicality and comfort get a naked or ADV, why bother buying a fully faired sports bike. Aprillia RS457 hands down is the best bike to get if someone wants to learn fast responsible and alert riding, and enjoy it thoroughly on race tracks. R3 doesn't even come close and specially with that pricing.

    Ok, Why are we comparing RS457 to the R3 in the first place?. R3 is never in the game. RS457 and Ninja 500 are Ying and Yang. The R3 is just a Boring, Older, Feature-less bike that looks like a R15, with very poor value for money.
    It's ironic that Yamaha had the guts to re-release it now with all the competition going ahead. It was already a dud back then.

      @@zigwheels No, Seriously, This isn't frustration. This is a disappointment.
      I knew I couldn't afford R3 or the RS457, so I bought the next best thing RR310 BTO. But You know what bike I liked so much in the past. R3. That older model which looked so much awesome. Then they redesigned it to look like R15. Only then I started to notice the drawbacks in it. When you like a bike for its looks and performance., you usually can forgive other things. Although this performs well. The competition is so much ahead. If Yamaha thought their brand value is sufficient enough to sell this, or People would not be intelligent enough to choose wisely. It's high time they changed their mind.

      @@alexmercer3001 You've got a good bike in your hands, Alex.
      But yeah, I get it. Some of the other details about the R3 is the fact that it just doesn't feel special. The levers feel cheap and wiring is all over the place. So that big bike feel, especially at its price, is lacking. The Aprilia, on the other hand, feels EXTREMELY special. So the disappointment is very, very valid. It definitely is high time the Japanese get serious about their performance bikes
