Thinking about getting an R3

[BillyIndiana]

I don't consider my Touring a cruiser. It is so well set up for Touring. Never tried to stand up while riding? Will give it a go and get back to you on this.

Hello Robert and welcome from a displaced Texan in Virginia. I ride the R3T and have no issues standing if I wish too.

DONT DO IT!!!! THEY ARE TERRIBLE MOTORCYCLES AND THE PEOPLE THAT RIDE THEM ARE UNDERWEAR THIEVES!!!!!!!!

Underwear thieves!! Day-um.... you owe me a keyboard now

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. The Roadster is super comfortable with a pretty neutral riding position. I stand up on my pegs when I go over rough railroad tracks, as the stock rear suspension is pretty ****e.

Also, and this is critical, it's the *white* stripes that make it go faster.

Hi, all. I've been riding 52+ years and am thinking of jumping the BMW ship. I will always keep my old ones but the new BMWs have soured me. I'll lurk and ask questions occasionally. One big question is: Is there a kit that relocates the footpegs to under my butt? I just can't handle the gynecological riding position of most cruisers. I am also interested in towing a trailer with it. All info is welcome. Thanks, Robert.

I have a 2012 R3R with a Corbin fairing, Russell day long, and the highway pegs. Roadster is great for being able to shift your weight under you while riding, the highway pegs let me stretch out if needed, the RDL keeps me comfortable all day, and the Corbin makes the chest pressure disappear while still getting airflow through my helmet.

Life has changed for me and I’ll planning to sell it soon but would highly recommend that route

For sale. First reasonable offer.

The Roadster has more of a standard riding position. You'll probably be fine with it.

This!

That’s why I bought my R3R.

The rest of the story is hilarious, which I’ll have to tell on here some day...
