soihok Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks. I committed to buying one for my brother in law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoadWarrior Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks. I committed to buying one for my brother in law after taxes, fees, registration etc, it was right about 210k out the door at the dealer.... my buddy bought one recently and i went with him. great bike, i really enjoyed test riding it, and it looks fantastic, gets a lot of attention because people arent used to seeing it. 100% go with the black.... looks WAY better than the blue or red schemes... their 2tone setup doesnt compliment the bike..... the black looks very classy.

soihok Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Deposit down one today - from Korat Yamaha - in Black = 185,000 with free insurance, tax and registration. Just need to pay the balance then its on the road. Cheers !!!! (a bit of a snap decision, only thought about buying one on Saturday night after a few pints of Guinness ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFarang Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 What colour did you buy? I originally chose the black, changed my mind after a few hours and went with the blue but I think the red and white is beautiful too. One thing is for certain, you won't regret your decision, its a great bike. JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiddy Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I rented one for a month and got bored with it towards the end but a great bike in it's class, pretty refined, better then the cbr300 I did chiangmai to mukdahan in one day on it and it held up great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c18gmr Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I paid 175,000 on Saturday same as the MT-03 from the Phitsanulok dealership inc free insurance and fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherFarang Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I paid 175,000 on Saturday same as the MT-03 from the Phitsanulok dealership inc free insurance and fees That is a great price but surely they must have made a mistake. Any which way, you got a steal of a deal JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c18gmr Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Took this about 20 mins ago when I was dropping off some more paperwork. I brought the last one they had in stock Edited October 12, 2015 by c18gmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Bought a Black one. Brother in law chose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 My everyday bike is a Yamaha MT-09 ABS. The R3 is a bit of a gift for my brother in law. I will get to try it out when I get back home in March. Looks like a great little bike, the road tests in Fast Bikes magazine are good and good value for money. Especially with the extra costs thrown it too. Thanks for all your comments and advise. Cheer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickymaster Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Nice bike. Your brother in law is a lucky guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Eventually got home and tried the bike out. Lovely looking bike, a bit small for my 90 kilos (yes, I have lost about 6 kilos without trying). Nice handling and brakes. Brother in law is a happy guy. As I am more used to riding my MT-09, its no wonder I found the bike under powered, but it was OK for the roads I was on. After an hour in the saddle my right wrist was going to sleep (as it pins and needles asleep). Guess I am getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revgreen Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Anyone with experience on this and the Ninja 300? I know the R3 is actually closer to 320 cc. Does the extra bit of engine make it a better choice over the Ninja? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Grumpy Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 ^ 25cc difference. 321cc Vrs 296cc. 41.4 Vrs. 34.8hp R3 is also 5kg lighter (wet weights - ninja has 3L more fuel in it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you come from a bigger bike or something? JAF Craved more power in the end and a more supersports riding position, keep in mind i was maxing it out all the time too Anyone with experience on this and the Ninja 300? I know the R3 is actually closer to 320 cc. Does the extra bit of engine make it a better choice over the Ninja? I owned the ninga 300 in Australia to get me through my restricted moto license period, its a good bike but i think the R3 has it beat slightly, has more top end power and it didnt need as much wringing it's neck to pass at high speed on the highway. Also it has handy things like gear position indicator and shift light which can be great for new riders Edited April 14, 2016 by Jdiddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
