I've had my red R3 since last August and found it to be well-built, reliable, and more powerful than I care to sample. It pulls so strong off idle one never NEEDS to push the revs higher, though doing so rewards with an incredible lunge.
On MY roads the ride tends to be bumpier than I like, but overall comfort on long rides is superb. Economy varies with throttle use, and it's hard not to USE that throttle. It leans readily and holds a line effortlessly, though full-tilt transitions on winding mountain roads expose a weakness in weight and foot-forward posture, though I'm sure a more accomplished rider could hustle it through twisties better than myself. The stock riding position sans wind protection spread the rider to the full force of wind blast...a windshield seems almost mandatory for continuous high-speed riding.
If police intervention isn't likely, the R3 will indeed eat up the miles on good, open roads.
Upgrades/Accessories: Custom designed and fabricated windshield.
