Hello fellow R3 owners!


My name is Colin, I live in Columbus, Ohio. I always wanted to own a motorcycle, and I have never been on a motorcycle before. I have been in the market to purchase a beginner motorcycle for several months now. I stumbled upon the new Yamaha R3 and fell in love with the sexy styling. After seeing this motorcycle yesterday in person I was sold. I plan on finalizing purchase on a raven later this day.

Brand new rider here also; as Mike-the-Bike indicated the MSF is a must. Once you complete the class, create a solid practice schedule for yourself and find a great location to practice. I'm officially over my dread of leaning and trying to figure out how to 'match revs' for smoother downshifting...have a great time learning. Go Raven- Black and you'll never go back. RideSafe!!!
