My inseam is about 30 cm so I sit flat footed on it and it's easy to move around on or off. Shifting is way more fun than the MT, it's the lowest insurance class here and I can get over 220 miles on a 14 litre tank of fuel. The R3 loves to rev around 7,000-8,000 rpm, with usable rpm to 11,000 no problem. TST has the largest inventory of parts that will make any R3 into a favourite for anyone, street or track and they can even sell you one track ready. Plus there are so many mods you can do to this motorcycle. I had every intention to put on and have.K&N air filter, M4 racing exhaust, Bauce racing ECU flash, Diablo 3 tyres, two more bar end mirrors, fender elimination and now it suits my riding style. The bike had 14,000 miles on it when I bought it and needed three of the four recalls, new brake fluid, oil, air filter change, new tyres, low beam and a good clean under the fuel tank. Last November I began riding it and have put more than 5,000 miles on it. I finally found one near me, however it took a lot of coaching on my part, even though it was advertised for sale lol.
It was harder than I thought to buy one because all the 2015 gen R3s where owned by younger guys, all of which didn’t want to get off the couch to sell them. Then my riding skills improved to a point where I wanted a very light, nimble and performance driven motorcycle, so the R3 was my first choice. The strada kept giving more HP up to 9k, but I don't miss it.I passed up the new gen R3 in the Spring of 2015 for the MT-09, believing it did not really fit in my collection of bikes, fully knowing I was going to own a second Yamaha that would change five years down the road. I like this S10 better than Multistrada I used to own, mainly because of that 70lb/ft of torque at 2,500 RPMs, and it now feels like it has the same level of power, at least up to 7K. The end result is an S10 with the personality it should have had from the get go. There are several ways to reach such results, but dyno tuning definitely gets out there with the assurance of taking the best path specific to your bike. The Akra sounds great yet not obnoxious. Engine does not run any hotter, but I think it is a nice thing to have the fan on at 204 down to 195 instead of 221 down to 203. MPG has dropped from 48 to 42, as expected. As the dyno curves shows, there is a definite surge of power above 5K rpm, which I can now experience in the first three gears It so improves the bike's perfornance profile! No more jerkiness or cars getting too close behind me when engine braking is less frequent (watch those mirrors!). The first three grear restriction removal and the reduced engine braking make commuting much more pleasurable. After two weeks and about 600 miles, I can confirm the following:
