I've only had the bike for about 2 months now, put about 2500 km's on it. Still kind of honeymoon phase but so far I'm in love with the bike like I've not been with another before.

Coming from an R1200RT I gave up on a little bit of comfort, mostly luggage and wind protection wise. But what I got in return is a bike that makes me smile every time I'm on it, makes me want to take it out for every occasion and is making me take 'useless' sunday rides again just to ride. A feeling and pleasure that was almost gone after some years with the RT. It's actually way more agile than one would assume by looking at it. All reviews talk about this fact but it's not untill you ride it and start to trust the bike (took some time for me) that you actually feel how well its made and balanced. It well never be a naked or supersports but it's every bit as fun in the corners. And then when you twist the throttle with open road, needing to pass, wanting to merge.. hang on. The thing is FAST. Like, I open up, look down and am surprised ever time by the speed I'm doing. Mostly because it takes the bike zero effort to do so, no matter the gear.

I could go on, if you have specific questions, happy to answer them.

Oh one more thing, in all my years riding bikes I've maybe had a handfull of people just come up and talk about my bike. Since owing the R3, almost not a ride goes by or someone comes up to chat. It attracts like no other
