I'm very much interested in a R3 Roadster. I haven't ridden in a while and previously were smaller displacements enduros and sport bikes, so I'm a bit concerned about the size. Of course my size and age are larger and my hair is gone. This bike seems perfectly suited to my personality.
I do not want the touring bike with the bags, windshield, etc. etc. I want the rocket stripped down.
I love the 2010, but my feet aren't flat and it feels wide, etc. I then found a 2006 for like $6,700 locally. It fits me better. My feet are solid on the ground, etc.
I'm not sure, though, which version it is as things seem rather confusing as I read wiki, etc. Can I get some help?
There are no bags, no windshield, etc. indicating it is not a cruiser. The engine is silver, not black, if that matters. No floor boards. There is a seat for a second person, but no sissy bar/back rest/rack.
One website lists it as a 'tourer', yet the sales man called it a Classic. Yet he claims 100 HP vs. the 140. I'm so confused! Can anyone help me identify which machine I'm dealing with?
BTW, almost secondarily, is 42k miles! Seems like a lot for a motorcycle, but this isn't any old motorcycle. Huge 3 cylinder 2300cc monster with shaft drive and EFI. Can this thing have another 20k left in it? I don't plan on cross country trips, but regular commuting/fun.
Thanks for the help everyone! I'm very much looking forward to joining the R3 crowd!
