Thank you I dislike all these old people and just general americans who call it a starter bike just cause they have the option to ride anything at the start. a 50cc or 125cc is a starter bikeCan we please stop calling the R3 a starter bike? It is not that for all people some of us just prefer a light weight fun sportbike. "It's not a big motorcycle, Just a groovy little motorbike"
Lol you think i care about what people think of my bike xD i've ridden a 50cc for a year a 125 for 2 years and now i'm on my 300, no one considers it a starter over here therefore i have nothing to care about.Why is it not a starter bike? If I was starting to ride all over again, I would definitely pick the R3. Who cares what it's called anyways ? Sounds like you are more worried about the image you carry because of your "starter" bike than the actual fun it gives you? I've owned 650s and those were considered "starter" bike by some people. Stop worrying about how others look at you on your smaller bike and start enjoying the bike because you have more fun on it out cornering everyone (assuming you actually learn to ride it like it should be ridden).
Oh and stop blaming us Americans because the motorcycle manufacturers don't introduce smaller bikes to our market. Not our fault we don't have your 125cc bikes here.
Yes I do think you care what others think. Which is why you agreed with the "thank you" reply to the OP.Lol you think i care about what people think of my bike xD i've ridden a 50cc for a year a 125 for 2 years and now i'm on my 300, no one considers it a starter over here therefore i have nothing to care about.
And it's not the motorcycle manufacturers fault it's your licencing scheme that stops manufacturers releasing smaller bikes cause they won't sell which in turn does make it your own faults, cause of the complete disregard for making people start small and work there way up so they can actually learn a thing or two and also not just allow any idiot to get whatever cc bike they like and "Give bikers a bad name" or whatever it is boring old people say
Realistically though your training schemes are a joke thats why so many "new bikers" have so many accidents in america (i'm aware this is just a rant at this point)
a YZF R125 which i owned previously to my R3 it still hit 80+mph and the seating position is a **** of a lot more sportier then the R3 which i feel got made less sporty because it had to appeal to you americans. The R125 felt like more a R1 seating postion it was that sporty, The R3 is like sitting on a MT-125 / MT-07 (fz07 for you americans)We don't have limitations here. That goes on both ends of the spectrum. So yeah it's the manufacturers. Not our fault they don't want to release small bikes cause they won't make money. Still a starter bike though, like it or not. It's a great bike. If someone wanted to start in the wonderful world of sports bikes, what would you have them start on?
If they had it available here, do you think people would buy it? No one is telling the manufacturers not to sell it to us. They choose not to because of one simple thing, money. Just because we aren't restricted to what cc we are allowed to buy does NOT mean everyone buys the biggest bike available. Have you seen the thousands of Ninja 250s on the used market? Try cycle trader or craigslist for an idea. Your general opinion of how it is here is wrong.a YZF R125 which i owned previously to my R3 it still hit 80+mph and the seating position is a **** of a lot more sportier then the R3 which i feel got made less sporty because it had to appeal to you americans.

"I'm over here buddy"I'm over here buddy and your assumptions are all wrong fella.
