Comparatively suitable for everyday use
Finally, let's get to the crucial question: Is the Yamaha R3 a super sportscar despite only 42 hp? Yes, it is. Anyway, if you didn't just look at the PS power. Thanks to the precise chassis, sporty engine characteristics and seating position, she is a true representative of this species.
It is also more: thanks to the variability of the seating position, it is a capable companion in everyday life, and this should make up the majority of its field of application.
The test bike was provided to us by Motorrad Ruser in Haseldorf.
