    37 MPH = 60 KMH, that's why they said it takes 3 seconds to get to that speed, and 60 km/h is speed limit in many cities world wide(including cities in Japan where Yamaha is based), and most of the countries are using km/h. So there you go. :D

    As an R3 owner and new rider, I can vouch for this being a great bike to learn on. It's incredibly easy to shift. I do not recommend the R6 throttle tube "upgrade" for new riders. We bought used and it had the R6 tube and it's way too much to learn on - almost no low-end throttle control. Put (or keep) a stock tube on it and it's great. It's also very comfortable for me at 5' 9", though I'll probably move to a slightly larger cruiser at my age and weight. It's perfect for my shorter son. I took it out for three hours or so one afternoon and didn't have any discomfort in the seat.

      Best tips you can follow are never get complacent with watching for hazards, don't ride for more than 1 hour continously without 15+min of breaks, don't ride in stop and go rush hour traffic for your first year, take the time to teach yourself about how to properly control the bike at slow speeds so that you can control it better at fast speeds, and always, always, always ride within your skill level.

      Just Lean You’re right but riding fast now and then doesn’t necessarily mean dragging your knee through every corner and riding as if you were on a track. It can just mean banging through every gear while getting on the highway and really trashing your bike on occasion, which is a lot easier to do on a 300 because on most super-sports you will be at over 100mph before you even have time to check your speedometer.

    100% agree.
    1) Passing supersports with my n300/400 is a wonderful feeling. In the canyon & track. I've only done one track day at buttonwillow on my old n300 and passed every bike in C group (some liter+ bikes too) and pushed to B during lunch break. In B group, the little Ninja had a hard time keeping up, but caught up in the corners (depends on track layout).
    2) I've had friends who started or jumped to a SS too quick and wrecked.
    3) if I had a SS, I'd prob get a ticket here and there.. + gas & insurance cost almost double

    I downsized to the R3 because I don't do track days. A new pipe that has a better sound, with 150/60 rear tire, dropped a tooth on the rear sprocket to bring the speedo back to factory. Now add soft bags, better windshield, longer shift lever, better foot pegs, adjustable levers, and now you have a sweet sport touring bike. After 5 hours I noticed the comfortable seat wasn't so I bought a Saddlemen seat (made for the R3) with denser foam and some gel next to the metal (not plastic) seat frame. I can ride comfortably through the mountains and long 7-10 hour trips without being worn out. This bike is great for more than sport, and being a rider with 28" inseam it allows me to put my feet on the ground.

Can see the virtue of a higher cc bike for long highway trips. But it can handle short 2hr trips no issue. Hell it could go longer, just don’t feel like pushing my comfort. An r6 is way overkill for a first bike. You’ll be so focused on trying to stay alive you wont even get to enjoy the art of improving your craft as a rider. Should you choose to get a second bike down the line great. The r3 will still be a favourite commuter. An absolute blast.

    I live in Japan and just got my standard license (up to 400 cc). They have lots of bike rental/sharing services here so I’m going to try all the similar class bikes to see which I like. This was the only one available and I’m taking it up into the mountain roads to see how I like it. I’m a bit nervous about taking such a small bike on the highways, but the speed limit here is lower than the States (just a little under 50 mph a lot of spots). Next time I want to try the CBR400. Once I get used to driving around a lot I’m going to get the large class license later next year!

    Just rode one of these for the first time the other day. Buddy picked up a 17 model as his first bike. Its definetly the lightest streetbike I've ever ridden, have had 15 or so over the years some cruiser and some sport. All with much more power too but was kind of refreshing riding a lighter bike with less power. Still plenty peppy especially for backroads, wouldn't want to cruise highway a lot on it tho. Overall a nice looking and riding bike.

    I am so glad that Yamaha is now making nice smaller displacement bikes like back in the day. I grew up and rode in the days where the 650 Yamaha was the biggest bike you could buy. Also at the time we were riding 125's, 175's and 250's and they were fun to ride. I owned an RD 350 and loved it. With the price of gas these days it is great to see smaller CC bikes. For the longest time the didn't make them and I just couldn't understand it.

    Man, great analysis. Logical and practical.
    I bought my R3 in 2016. I thought I was going to sell it or trade it after a couple years.
    80k miles later.... I love it. I'm almost 6'2 and 240lb. It handles me fine. I commute on it every day. 2 tires for the price of 1 600 tire is great when you commute. So light and nimble. Does everything I would want it to in the twisties.

      Mind you I come from motocross racing at 15, and trail rides and track rides since 9 years old.

I felt more comfortable and more upright on the r3. Aswell As I prefered the overall looks of the r3.
