    Welcome mate. First up post some pics of your R3, and I'd like to know your impressions of it... never ridden one myself but I had a ninja 250.

    Chuck a few bob our way on the donation page to support the racing teams and get access to our collection of manuals.

    Make sure your wheels are clean in your pics or you get free lifetime entry into the dirty wheel club :)

    Picture is up as profile :), when deciding what bike I should upgrade to there were a lot of factors... What CC 600 or 300 weight ergonomics etc. and for me I based it down on where I'd be riding and how. Looked at the Honda CBR600RR had good reviews seemed to be a pretty good bike, went for a few test rides and that was high on my list until I started to look below the 600 threshold to what most "experienced riders" call the beginner bikes. I stumbled into the 2016 R3 was light looked like a super sport and overall had good acceleration. I work in the city and live in Hawthorne and the 300cc R3 is perfect for it, really good price comfortable and really fun to ride it may seem like it's for beginners but I highly recommend this motorcycle to anybody! And if you haven't already take one out for a spin you won't regret it! Any questions I'm happy to answer

    Welcome Matt.
    There are some really good bikes in the smaller sizes being produced now, and with the stricter speed limits being imposed there is nowhere to use anything faster but the track.
    Enjoy the ride.
