New owner! Yesterday I ordered a blue R3 and should be riding it in a few days. I test rode it for 10 miles and while the speed part was OK the handling the toy like feel of such a light and nimble bike sold me on it. I am parting with my Yamaha FZ6R for this. The FZ is way more serious of a bike, sports touring I would call it. The handling of the FZ requires way more attention and care since its 470 pds full of fuel which to me is not light at all, you felt it often
So I am back to riding a small bike. I've had them all from 250 all the way up to 1200 and now back to square one.
Will post some pics later.
