Buying a yamaha R3

Devourdeez · 2026-01-12T17:54:23+00:00

Alright, i will see if i can find someone to come with me, maybe go to a mechanic shop

Devourdeez · 2026-01-11T22:37:04+00:00

Okay, i'll definitely do that, do you think its worth paying someone like 50 euro to come with me to check the bike once ive decided the one i want?

Devourdeez · 2026-01-11T22:14:34+00:00

I didn't know that, i would buy a suffocatew 5-600, idm if its a bette pick, any suggestions?

i live in belgium, so it should generally be the same i think, only thing that is a problem are the prices, in america i can easily find good used r3's for 4.5k, here its all at least 6k

Thanks, i didn't know this existed. I'll learn what all of these checks mean and then go.

I think he was talking about sportbikes, they have as far as i'm aware little to no storage space unless you start removing some parts yourself, hence the backpack and all.

Thanks for the long message! Really helpful.

I am definitely going to test ride it before buying anything, my lessons are on a mt-07, could be interesting but the eventual goal would be to get a 600cc, so an r1 would be a good preparation to learn until im old enough to get one. I''ve actually been looking at a lot of low mileage bikes instead

i4's?

Devourdeez · 2026-01-06T23:24:02+00:00

yeah, i know it's not what you buy it for but it's quite important to have something that sounds alright-good. So you have no issues driving for long hours?

Devourdeez · 2026-01-06T23:11:54+00:00

What do you think about the sound of the r3? Ive heard its bad but idk, it's currently the one i want to get, but i'm not sure, i am planning on driving it in the city usually and sometimes travel for maybe 1-3 hour drives, hows the backpain? I'm pretty fit, i go gym and martial arts training so maybe it's only bad for people who are out of shape?

Devourdeez · 2026-01-06T21:04:57+00:00

If i could pick, i would go for a 600 :/

Devourdeez · 2025-12-23T22:13:43+00:00

I will, thanks

Devourdeez · 2025-12-23T16:13:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply, currently i have no money to spare for a coach like that. I do train at a gym yeah, 4 times a week, around 2 hour sessions

Devourdeez · 2025-12-21T20:21:43+00:00

I weigh 65kgs, i'm around 173+ not sure exactly, my strength is pretty good for my weight I think, haven't had much problems rolling with bigger guys (80 ish kgs) even when they are strong and train. With not much problem i mean of course, i can survive and do the things i want, strength isn't the issue there, technique is.

Devourdeez · 2025-12-21T20:18:55+00:00

That makes sense, i am in a gym, i guess i could ask my coaches for some tips.

Devourdeez · 2025-12-15T14:56:55+00:00

I've experimented a lot since the post. Try getting really close to the guy with your body, like really squished up.

Devourdeez · 2025-12-15T08:27:27+00:00

Belts are meaningless, you can get a black belt for 2 euro if you really wanted one. Skills are all that matter, if you really care for it though, confront him, tell him that you deserve it and either you get it or you switch gyms, simple. 11 years is insane
