tomorrow i pick up my new 2017 R3 from the Chattanooga dealer. it's a phantom black roadster with the red stripe.
i also have a 2017 iron stone bobber. bought the bobber 4/5 months ago and fell in love with, only it's not so great for rides over 150mi, so i needed a cruiser, and if i'm going to get a cruiser, then i'm going get a cruiser! and the R3 scratches that itch
Just a small tip from me to you. Double clutch before dropping her into 1st and she'll slide rite into gear. Once she's run in say 5k or so back to normal! Worked for me and I can't take or give credit for that tip but just wanted to pass it along!
Another Kiwi welcome...I have a 2016 Roadster ...phantom black with the red stripes also...previous bike was a 2014 Roadster...phantom black with the red stripes....Awesome bikes, well balanced and of course grunt to burn...
