I agree with you, the marketing is fierce. But I have to ask, have you ridden a 2020? Just got back from riding one, very flickable, even slow maneuvering is easy!! I do like the looks as well. Standard cruise etc. Not trying to keep up with the Jones, just sayin,,
I have. Here's my initial thoughts... Boog's Review of the 2020 R and GT
 
Welcome to the forum! Warm greetings from Madrid (Spain) You like the new R3, you will have to pay well then, good luck with the purchase and enjoy it
 
hello Maurice and welcome from Virginia. Those older bikes are great, just marketing tells people to believe they must have the newest hottest thing out there. I don't buy into that keeping up with the Jones bologna.
My 2014 has 72K miles now and it has not been babies in a garage. It gets ridden all year and sleeps outside under a cover.

Do not do this, Maurice! Boog is guilty of motor abuse.
WELCOME to ya, from WA State.
Buy the newest, least milage, you can afford.
The Roadsters are most plentiful I think, and likely the best bang for your buck

That's true, rode hard and put away wet. Does not need fancy electronics wheelie controls or other such nonsense... :cool:
 
Bought the 2020 not for ALL the gadgetry, but the handling, power, and looks. Cruise and heated grips are nice.
