Greetings from North Carolina

[Wizza]

Not quite an R3 owner as of yet but am certainly close....there is a new leftover 2013 R3T at my local dealership that I have actually been admiring it for the last three years. Oddly enough my bride found it just as nice as I do and she started working the salesman over for a deal.

I wavered on it but told him I would come take it for a ride before I made up my mind.

Any initial suggestions for riding the Touring model?

I am currently a rider of a Honda VTX 1800S that I made into a bagger. Honda doesn't provide anything close to the way my bike is since the Valkyrie stopped being made so I am very closely equal in features (except for the increase in weight, HP and torque with the 2300cc motor).

Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to some new things to learn and lots of smile filled miles soon to come.

Buy your R3T then install the up date tune that adds 30 more horsepower.

I think my Hispanic friend said it best,
Hang on..
On my test ride I was expecting Potato Potato Potato,
like a Harley. I twisted the throttle and she like to have threw me off,
I grabbed on tight and twisted the grip some more and the frontend came up.
End of story... oh yea, welcome to the site...
