Hi from Brisbane Australia

What a pleasant bunch of caps. This could really blossom into a great bromance. Sounds like there could be a Brisy posse brewing here. That could be fun.

So first question guys. What year / model R3 has seen the best factory improvements. Bikes all have their own problems so at what year / model should I start seriously start looking at?

Welcome from Toowoomba mate, and as mitzy said, jump right in and don't look back, I did and might I say WOW, will never own another bike like it......

 

[Mittzy]

for my money, I would buy the latest model I could.
Are you looking for a touring (Narrower rear tyre, instruments on the fuel tank, hard bags)?
Or a Roadster with ABS and black (Mostly) and 2010 onwards.
Classics and Standards are no longer made but good examples of both can be found.
If the newer is not in our budget try or 2009 onwards as most of the upgrades have been done.
price for anything decent is going to be starting from around 9-10,000 for a 2004/5 model.
oh year there are two engine colours too - Silver and Black Silver is the first of the 2004 generally.

I bought an ex demo and it has been great - Paid $19,000 and it had 2,000 klms on it and 6 months old.
Some might say that it has its own mind and throws itself on the ground (I dropped t in front of EVERYBODY)

Done that myself on a Z1000 Saturday morning outside the bike shops in front of crowds with a new front tyre on it .Oh the shame.

I raced a Z1000 a couple of weeks back and won - straight roads of course.
