[Yamahahaha]

Yamaha has announced that the YZF-R3 is coming to US shores in 2015. It's gonna be listed at a price of $4,990, but there is no mention of ABS, which is puzzling to me. That is disappointing considering that Honda and Kawasaki offers ABS as an option on their sportbikes. The Yamaha YZF-R3 will be coming to the US market in February 2015.

Who's excited?

Hmm, I'd read January from a few sources, but no matter its a matter of weeks. Regardless the majority of sales will not pick up until closer to the spring season I'm fairly certain...

Yeah, so sad they are coming in January...(Winter time....) ABS should be standard per the EU site:
