💡 Why I Chose the R3

The Yamaha R3 strikes a perfect balance between sporty looks and daily usability. As a lightweight sportbike, it's perfect for both beginners and experienced riders who want something nimble, stylish, and reliable. Plus, it's a head-turner on the streets.

Key reasons I chose this bike:
✅ Sleek and aggressive sportbike design
✅ Smooth twin-cylinder performance
✅ Great for daily riding and touring
✅ Easy to mod with plenty of aftermarket parts
✅ Reliable even on long-distance rides

🗺️ Ride to Thailand 🇹🇭

Just like with my ADV160, I took the R3 all the way to Bangkok, Thailand. The trip was thrilling, and the R3 handled everything from highways to tight city streets without any issues. Long-distance cruising, border crossings, fuel stops — this bike took it all in stride.

I'll be adding photos of the trip in the Gallery section below.

🏍️ Riding Experience

The R3 gives a very different vibe compared to my ADV160 — it's more aggressive and performance-focused. The acceleration, handling, and sound make it a joy to ride, especially on open roads or twisty backroads.

Highlights:

• Highway Cruising: Stable at high speeds

• City Riding: Light clutch, easy to filter through traffic

• Thailand Ride: Smooth even at long distances

• Night Rides: RGB glow and LED lights really stand out

• Future Goals: Black bodykit and SC Project exhaust for a sleeker, meaner look
