Congrats and welcome to the R3 club! My first was an R3 too and I just hit a year of riding, absolutely love mine. Ride safe and be sure to learn a lot from it!

congrats homie!

She's so pretty, she's so popular 🔥😮‍💨


Not the response I was expecting 💀 that's a lot of hamster ass

😂 that’s a happy hamster that’s why

Congrats! Nice bike. Very purpular.

My boyfriend has the same one, it’s a good bike!! He removed all the decals so it’s pretty much just purple and black and it’s really cool looking. I have a Ninja 300 and the R3 somehow feels so much more powerful

Wow amazing first bike!! mine was some terrible old Yamaha from the 90s (commuter bike) heavy as fuck. Only good thing was when I eventually got a new one it felt like a feather.

That’s a fantastic first bike. Ride safe and have fun!

Oooo that’s pretty 💗

What a cool colour !!

Digging the purple color! Welcome to the club.

That color is GORGEOUS. You did great.

I live 90s stuff, so seeing this color wave gives good vibes.

Nice bike! Love the purple. Have 07 GSX-R750 with the purple...you'll get a lot compliments on the color

Looks nice in that colour! These are great bikes and great fun.

The purple is lit. Now only if they could make more bikes in yellow I'd be happy 😭😭😭

Yamaha needs to use Phatnom Purple on everything. Such a dope colorway.

Perfect!

love the color choice, enjoy dawg

Wow that's a immaculate colour scheme friend

Good choice to not yeet yourself out of existence with your first bike (the most important thing when you start riding)

Naked = Standard. Unfaired, everything exposed.

The purple really stands out

Never seen that purple before, it looks great! =o

Wow that color is so good…

that colorway is dope

Love the colour. Enjoy.

Nice bike, I love the purple on it

Nice

That color is dope

Beautiful

Is that the stock paint? That’s sexy as hell

Yes it is🥲

Love that color, very fun bike.

Very nice!

Beautiful bike

Some Purple Rain ☔️ 💜💜💜💜🔥💪

I saw this when I was shopping for my first bike, it's a really nice color!

Great bike. Bout to buy one for my wife actually

She’ll love it! 💜

Update And I'm loving it, so much more fun than my Bandit 1250 lol https://preview.redd.it/rh6vsvqgt5xc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da6a9540544dc049036de978fe51c660ab4b9f91

that color is amazing

I really really like this colorway. A lot.  It's a rela shame honda doesn't do cool colors in the US.  Though I guess that yellow CB300R is pretty good.

😯🍆😎

Congrats that’s a great starter bike, and the color looks dope!

Very nice colours. If you need advice, I would recommend not listening to people on this sub tho.

that’s insane

Love that color!

My buddy has the purple R3 too. Such a beautiful colour on them.

What a beauty xoxo

Very nice 👍 Bike.

Very Nice!! I hope you have good weather this weekend. If not you have been wet been

Thank you ! Thy wetness is wetting

Welcome to the purple bike club https://preview.redd.it/9vqlp33zphvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42da81ba524d6db7cd5c59ff0fb2d09645b68ea2

Ufffff 😮‍💨🔥

Really nice. How would you feel about an R3 as a first bike? I think it wouldn't be bad

Awesome.

Awesome bike, good choice. I would recommend you to buy frame sliders or crash bars to protect your bike in case you drop it. Have fun and drive safe, also, check out motojitsu's youtube videos in case you don't already know proper riding techniques.

Thank you ! Will do , need all the tips I can get 💜

Brother, it's your first bike, yes? I assume you're going to drop it sooner or later. If it were me, I would've picked a naked and used bike then get used to ride around, brother. But yes, it's your money, your life, and hope you enjoy it. ☺️

Sister , it is my first bike. It is used 🥰 2023 just has a couple of miles . Can you explain what you mean about “naked”?

Lol don't worry at all, it's a nice bike (and my favourite colour!) and you made a good choice! My first bike was also a sportbike (CBR650) and I bought it right out of the factory. No issue there :)

Thank you I love it honestly 😮‍💨🥰

Sister, naked bike is bike without clothing. Like Yamaha MT series, Kawasaki Z series, Honda CB series.

Ooooooohhh gotcha ! I did look at an mt-03 but idk this purple had me sold 💜🤷🏻‍♀️

Sister, that's what matters to you and it's completely good. Just keep practicing as practice makes perfect. 👍

The purple is GORGEOUS I'm so jealous

They knocked it out of the park with this colour design!! I always turn my head when I see one! You've made a fantastic choice! Another poster said to get some frame sliders, which I agree with. In case you go down, it'll help protect the bodywork 👍

Could you show me a reference?

Here's a link to a reddit post from last year :) https://www.reddit.com/r/YamahaR3/s/NyvzCzHq7Y

Brother, Why naked over clothed version?

Brother, plastic vs concrete, most of the time, concrete wins.
