Hi All, just joined. Got my heart set on an R3 as my return to bikes after many years. Really looking forward to finding the right one and getting into it. Have looked at a few and I am trying to line up a test ride this weekend. Any thing to be wary of on a first ride?

Hi @MickyB,
Welcome to the forum. I am a newbie here as well. We should get together for a ride once our R3 dreams are realised.

Welcome aboard. Just treat her with respect and you'll soon start grinning. It's essential you take your cheque book as you'll want to buy it once ridden.

Welcome. I also joined here before buying my R3 and did plenty of research. I second the comments about the possibilities of an '06 jumping out of second gear. I would test this before buying and/or ask for proof that the update kit was installed. BTW I bought an '05. It did not have the update kit installed when I bought it and does not have a problem jumping out of 2nd gear, at least not yet.
