Jump to 1.20? R6? Are we watching the same video? Lol
.
at 1:20 they start openly talking about the similarities between this new bike and the R series of bikes, R1 & R6 respectively.. thats what i meant...
all they had to do was sneak in a track shot to get people thinking, then strengthen this with actual discussion later in the video...
:yesnod
but you're pretty much dead on with the rest... its a marketing strategy... now R6 owners who have gotten bored with the smaller bike (and dont track them) can will have a few choices, a left over R1 with Xplanker making good tractable power, and for those who already have that, they can move up to an R1 with some serious power.. plenty of leftover R1s from 2012-2014 MY still available :yesnod
the R3 is a very good segment class to be involved in for yamaha, at least locally with the price of gas going up every summer, there are a lot of scooter riders running around with bicycle helmets, there is a severe need for some re-education about what real bikes are... but a 250cc is pretty much useless and gutless in the real world... 300ccPLUS is where the real game changers are at.. and thus far with this new bike YAMAHA will RULE that class, you can pretty much take that to the bank... ive seen plenty of young female riders who ask what the options are, yet puke a little in their mouths when someone brings up the kawi 300... no noh i mean a real bike they says... lmao
the only shitty part about 'em releasing this bike now is that there is no ABS version available, that will really hurt them in the long run...
yamaha's track record means we probably wont see that until 2-3 years into the running, and that is really a crying shame...
:no
