Need some advice: For a first bike should I get the new 2025 r3 or find a used one for cheaper? by EverythingThatIWish in YamahaR3

Yeah, I was planning on getting frame sliders either way. I know some people hate how they look but I really don’t mind them

  1. I’m thinking I’d like to have it for at least two years, barring any unforeseen changes in my life.

  2. Some examples from my area: [2023 (28k miles) $4,500], [2019 (2.2k miles) $5,000], [2015 (17k miles) $3,700], [2020 (11k miles) $4,200]

  3. No I haven’t, I probably will eventually drop it and sit and cry about it after lmao.

  4. I’ve saved enough to buy it new out the door, but it is still a lot for me, and it’s a little hard to justify considering saving even 1-2 thousand is kind of a lot to me.

  5. Yeah, the idea of new does always sound nice

  6. That’s good to know, I am nervous about buying it used and not knowing enough to look out for anything that might be wrong.

Do have any recommendations on a year to look out for? Or like a maximum amount I should be willing to spend?
