Ozgur Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I saw it on FB page of Yamaha Rider Clubs Thailand that Yamaha will organize an event for R3 launch at Buriram Circuit. Rossi, Lorenzo and bunch of recers will also join. The date is 6-8 February. This is not the bike I will buy but the idea of R3 being in Thailand makes me somehow excited.

dave_boo Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wonder what the price will be. Would also be interesting if there was a comparison between it, the Ninja 300, and the CBR500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macknife Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Probably my next bike. i had hoped they would have it at the Central World Bike show, but alas, according to reports it isn't. A friend of mine there was told it would be in the region of 200K. If that is true, then I think Yamaha are making a mistake pricing it higher than the Ninja 300, while in other countries it will be cheaper.

If it's built elsewhere it makes sense it would be more expensive than the Ninjette. It probably is going to have a bit (to a lot if it doesn't want to comply with A2 license scheme) more power. If it doesn't come with ABS standard that makes no sense. Will it be sold nationwide at the small Yamaha dealers? Will spare parts be readily available? So many questions.

Yamaha riders club say it will have ABS. Luckily for me I'm not far from the Yamaha Bike bike dealer and service centre in Ratchada. Maybe someone could translate !

ll2 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 it will be sold around 200. pay 100 k more, get an inline four 650. or same price, get a torquy and fun but roomy cbr500r. good bike though r3. i like it. honda wil do a 250 cc twin as well soon in Indonesia to compete with ninja 300 and r3. so competition is fierce which is good for us!

andrewrooney Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If they can get it down to around Ninja 300 price I bet it will sell well. Looks like a really fun bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) ImageUploadedByThaivisa Connect Thailand1422609826.853486.jpg Picture looks like it has ABS. Actually I would say that pic does not have abs Although that pic is pretty small even enlarging it I do not see the slotted abs ring It is the big ring style of the pre-abs Ninja rotor up front If it was ABS there would be the smaller slotted ring like this But instead it is the same style as the pre-abs ninja like this All that aside a small sport bike should not have ABS IMO or at least be optional. Ideally a small perky sport bike need the feel of a brake that is not directed thru so much extra hoses & a pump/ecu etc. Ideally a nice setup would be two small rotors which only need smaller calipers too...like Moto3 uses Something like this Edited January 30, 2015 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be & like I said that pic is pretty tiny...Usually what I look for is the smaller ABS ring That ring in the small original pic posted here looks like the bigger carrier type/floater type inner ring But again hard to tell... The white lettering I have seen there is Yamaha Also in this pic which is larger again I do not see the slotted abs type ring up front But do see a large diameter...maybe 320mm? floater type rotor Looks similar in size to the 320mm floater I had put on my Ninja Edited January 30, 2015 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else being equal, larger diameter rotor provides a longer lever arm so, seems to me, it would require less forceful [smaller] caliper.

dave_boo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I could be wrong about the ABS. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last. Awful expensive for a newbie bike to not have it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
