I'll be purchasing and riding my matte silver/blue R3 back to Wilmington, NC from Jacksonville on Friday! It will be my second bike (prev. was a '12 CBR 250R) and I'm stoked. I loved the CBR but at times wished it had just a little more power when at speed. I don't have any interest in owning a larger bike nor have the income to support one as a full time student.
During my CBR ownership, I put on nearly 10k miles in just one year. I learned a lot from it and sold it this past February. I thought I'd be fine without a motorcycle for a few years until I completed my undergraduate studies but I was wrong!
So far I strongly reccomend Lejeune Motorsports in Jacksonville, NC. They've been great to work with and originally came up with ~$5800 OTD. I had seen a post from a member in Charlotte that got their R3 for $5360 OTD and mentioned it to their finance guy. He's matching that price and didn't even want to see their post! I will update the thread after riding it back home on Friday about my experience with them for anyone looking to purchase in my area and of course, my first impressions of the R3!
As a side note, it is about a 60 mile ride back. The highway stretch has a varying speed limit from 55 to 45 MPH the whole time. Will I be fine just varying speed/RPM and engine load for the trip back?
Looking forward to sharing my experiences and of course learning from you guys.
