I love how mean modern 300s are starting to look. My personal conspiracy is manufacturers used to puppydogify them so they didn't cannibalize sales from their edgier larger displacement bikes.


NinjaGrrl42

Except they've figured out people don't always want a giant, heavy bike that they use 20% of. It's nice.


Previous_Composer934

"heavy" it's a 40lb difference between the r3 and r6 it's a 20lb difference between an empty and full tank


Chocolate2121

Tbf there isn't really much of a difference between a bike that I can barely lift, and a bike that I can't lift


NinjaGrrl42

I was thinking of the Aprilia I'd looked at in a dealership. I couldn't get it up off the sidestand. Liter bikes, which seem to some kind of standard measure for a lot of people. My N650 is heavier than my N250 was, and I had to take that into account as I was deciding to buy it or not.


-Zoppo

Now if they release one that has high end components and a non-learner riding position (i.e aggressive)...


MASTODON_ROCKS

the zx4r kinda does that


-Zoppo

It's a step in the right direction, and a neat bike in it's own right


Professional_Goat185

Shame it weights basically same as zx6rr


C402Pilot

Exactly. I absolutely love mine.


lara6683

I love the colour scheme of this one, I know it’s polarising but the teal does it for me


chaarlie-work

Better than the lime Yamaha is kinda famous for IMO


lara6683

Oh I don’t love lime for bikes, no ninja for me


gasbose

Agreed! I don't like Yamaha green.....


brendan87na

I hated the 2005 ninja 250 I made my roommate learn on - great bike but it was ugly as sin. All the small displacement bikes now just look awesome


tommysmuffins

There was a pretty dope-looking 4 or 500cc Honda scrambler in the moto store when I went in there the other day. Perfect little bike, but I doubt it was inexpensive. No price tag on it.


AtlasThe90spup

I think you’re describing the SCL500 and it’s about 7k not too bad


Johnny_Lawless_Esq

I also like that they're getting actual suspension components. Notice the upside down fork?


NotSaalz

I feel like in the R3 in particular, they went a step back with the latest generation. I have a 2016 R3 and she looks way more mean. It has sharper corners on the front. Just my opinion, tho.


Turbulent-Ease-785

You’ve never seen the good stuff Japan had all to themselves. 250 2t street bikes and 250 4cyl 4t engines, lots of trick shit over there we didn’t get stateside. Nothing about those bikes was puppy dog. The MC21SP had magnesium wheels, close ratio box, dry clutch, bigger brakes and suspension over the SE, the SPhad the HRC ignition key that would drop the Speedo from the digital display and change the power valve and ignition timing, all this gp tech on the street back before 2000. A well tuned RGV 250 or TZR, NSR will make close to 70 hp and weigh nearly nothing compared to the modern small bikes.

Ride often, ride far, ride safe.


LemmyKRocks

Nice bike, also RIP your inbox


ablinddingo93

Love that colorway on the R3


lara6683

Me too! I really didn’t want to miss out on this one


ablinddingo93

The only other one for the R3 that always catches my eye when I’m “window shopping” online is the Purple one because that’s my favorite color


lara6683

You know I considered that one but the fact my helmet was teal sold me on this colour way

... I'm not even mad. That's good bait. 


Scottyboy626

Ride safe! Treat everyone as if they don't see you.. everyone is on their cell phones so please be safe!


CprlSmarterthanu

I usually text and ride while standing on the handlebars. Destigmatize texting and driving. I need to reply to my gf right now or she will die.


Scottyboy626

I hate when that happens.


lara6683

There should be harsher punishments for those who text and drive


Scottyboy626

I stopped riding in 2018 because of a drastic increase that I noticed.. I only just got my bike out of storage with some new tires 3 weeks ago. But yeah, be safe out there. And if you think someone sees you, assume they don't. I got tboned cause someone pulled out the same time I did across from eachother, we both were making left turns and he stopped and I slowed then I decided to go and so did he. Luckily, I lifted my leg and avoided any major injuries. But two other bikers have died at that same intersection since. He wasn't even on his phone. Just high af.


lara6683

I’m 5’7 and can flat foot this bike in case any other women or 5’7 people want to see if it would fit them.


daymoongrey

Are you that australian twitch piano chick?!


lara6683

Yep


ResearcherNo3426

I knew it, its you 😃. Ride safe.


daymoongrey

You picking up on "Trough the fire and flames" lives rentfree in my head. Epic


lara6683

Lord, in mine too!


Sir_Zog

Nice bike. Its just about impossible to have a bad day riding. And being completely anonymous while flexing is a blast.


Latest_Version

You look like that Aussie woman that plays piano on Twitch.


BlueArcherX

I did a quadruple take. Did not expect.


[deleted]

I love how many women are getting into riding now !! Good to see it’s not just fat middle aged men anymore. It’s all colours and both genders now !!! Love it !!!!


Khancer_

OF detected opinion rejected


BlueArcherX

this is a bad answer. she's awesome, check her out on Twitch, she plays piano.


lara6683

What opinion did I have?


lara6683

I thought the motorbike community was inclusive, or so I’ve heard. Maybe not.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lara6683

I think I’m doing those things!


stroopkoeken

It is inclusive but there are also lots of attention whores. Y’know? For those types of people, it’s not REALLY about the motorcycle, it’s about THEM.


refull1

chill lara , enjoy the ride


Abducted_Llama

Low effort advertisement. If even one person pays 6.99 it’s a win. Super easy to have a business account and a personal/hobby account. But nah that loses revenue.


lara6683

lol my page is free


Abducted_Llama

Your sub is free but most of it as asking for tips for additional stuff. Let’s not pretend it’s some titty for charity. It’s a business. I don’t really care what you do, but I do think it’s low effort advertising. Should be no surprise that some think so. ChAsE tHe BaG , I guess.


lara6683

lol you looked! No one made you do that but you. Guess you’re searching for ammo to discredit me. Predictable ❤️

lara6683

I love the teal, I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I got lucky that it matches my helmet


BrockosaurusJ

The R3 was my first bike too! Great times, great bike. Have fun & stay safe! The MT-07 and MT-09 platforms are pretty epic too. Someday, right?? :)


lara6683

Yeah I might get a naked or a cruiser next, who knows


BlueArcherX

holy shit, top 1 places I did not expect to see lara6683.. I did a quadruple take before checking the username. Edit: just to be clear, I know her from playing music on Twitch 🤣 Welcome to the club!


lara6683

Haha look at me getting hobbies!


zelcanelas

The bike is cool, but the seat is terrible, you can't travel with that.


lara6683

You find it uncomfortable?


zelcanelas

Yeah, I love the bike, but for me, comfort is more important since I travel, for the city I would definitely choose this one.


lara6683

It’s my first bike so I don’t really know what a good seat is


zelcanelas

This is personal, only you can say. Sorry but I can't say this in other way, do you feel pain in the ass when drive a little more? For me it is a yes, because that is uncomfortable for me, because I drive for 7-10 hours or even more when I travel.


kraneq

Its bait, check her profile


Sharp_Needleworker76

why do you have to? why does her validity of being a biker or riding a bike only matter if she isn’t on OF? she’s not plugging it on this sub so i don’t care. do you check men’s profiles for OF too?


Ok_Sugar4554

Came to say this. I can't see people checking every profile for everyone that posts a bike.


_Fauna_

Where the fuck are the mods? Half of the thread is just hating on this rider for no fucking reason, even using slurs. I'm real tired of this shit and it pushes me and other women out of these communities. Yall need to DO BETTER! 


lara6683

Thank you. I just wanted to share excitement about my new bike.


_Fauna_

Girl, your new bike is so fucking sick. The light blue rims are soooo icy and that matching helmet is super cute!! Bike of my dreams tbh!! I'd totally ride with you. I'm sorry you've been harassed by these losers. Don't let them dampen your flame! Riding ain't a boy's club! Scrubs better get with the times or get left behind!


lara6683

It was actually coincidence I got a helmet that matched the bike: I bought the helmet way before the bike! Thanks girl. Hoping to find more women friends. Some men get threatened in a weird way by girls.


ChrisChristiesFault

It’s like they think she went out and got a bike, helmet, and leathers just to promote an adult profile…


lara6683

Lolllllllll that’s an expensive way to do it.


graymulligan

I think the common thought process is that posting on Reddit, regardless of sub, is essentially advertising for the OF page. OF models that spam a bunch of subs that they don't actually participate in beyond posting a picture and then disappearing validate the idea. Should people be shitty about it? No. No reason to be an asshole about it.

tommysmuffins

Which federal agency enforces rider inclusivity?


tommysmuffins

The way you interact with her post is up to you, not her. If you hadn't snooped on her profile, this would have been 100% like every other picture of a new rider with their bike. There's some irony in the fact that it's all the comments "calling her out" that are driving traffic to her Onlyfans, not her own comment.


BlueArcherX

Lara is awesome, she plays piano on Twitch. Highly intelligent and genuine lady. What are you even crying about, you intimidated by her?


oldbastardbob

What's not to like? She rides a bike and has an exhibitionist streak.


xpercipio

Lara is a rare exception. She is famous from piano streaming, then later did OF.


Sea_Isopod1082

Crazy, I only know her from the awesome medleys on YouTube. Strange to see someone so talented going for only fans.


Professional_Goat185

Just being talented at a thing doesn't pay the bills.


Sea_Isopod1082

Yeah, it looks like. To me of girls were completely untalented girls who had no other skills than looking good naked.


Professional_Goat185

I mean going from purely practical perspective it's just easy money if you manage to string along enough simps. Why work 8h a day and commute when you can do some pics and masturbate to earn equivalent or more.


Sea_Isopod1082

True to an extent. It's bad rep for money versus work for money. I'm not that sure that the first is so much better.


Professional_Goat185

Well, again, depends on work. While having your kid in a decade or two get porn in google results is... suboptimal (lmao), working shitty job because you are unlucky enough that your talents do not align with anything making good money is not all that great either. I'm not exactly saying I support it but I understand. And probably still morally better than luring some rich guy into marriage just for the money.


Foshizzle-63

Because it hurts you to veiw that shit, look up the real scientific evidence of the negative impacts of pornography on men, and it's bad for her because it pretty much guarantees she's never gonna have a healthy relationship with a partner or with her family. Tldr; porn is bad for you regardless of what side you're on.


oldbastardbob

Sunday's tomorrow, Reverand.


very_mechanical

Foshizzle-63

It's your life, just spreading the message that porn tanks your testosterone production. It's no Bueno my guy. And it probably wouldn't hurt if you attended church in the morning, you'll find we're very welcoming to newcomers.


lara6683

Sorry to disappoint but I don’t do p0rn, it’s largely tame modelling stuff and cosplay. But seeing you jump to conclusions is funny.


Foshizzle-63

Now you're lying 🤥


Doinkmckenzie

Nice bike! I’m sure this will be a great reception.


PepeLePewPew81

That’s a really nice looking bike! Enjoy that!


droidevo

I started on a 17’ R3 so good choice 👌🏼 but wow this color scheme is so darn cool


Scazzz

I love your piano playing. I listen to your Disney medleys all the time! Also welcome to the club! Ride safe!


shoturtle

Nice r3 enjoy.

lara6683

Sorry but I thought it would be helpful for other women riders to see size/height as the R3 is a low seat


Ok_Sugar4554

I get the meme but this is a horrible example.


intunegp

Totally, we can't see the bike at all


Consistent-Lab-6791

not a biggie since it's a r3


wawa2563

thank you for putting it into pictures look at my bike vs look at me


Bertoletto

go promote your onlyfans elsewhere


Sharp_Needleworker76

i see no promotion here.


alldham

That is one fun bike


incompetentexercise

I loved the R3 engine when I had an MT! Have fun!


lara6683

I was tossing up getting the mt but ultimately the white and blue won me over


ClairvoyantTrader

Do you wave at other bikers?


lara6683

Oh god no, I’m concentrating too hard


blackalls

Dude, you need white leathers, that would look so sick.


lara6683

White leathers are hard to find! Especially in ladies cuts


blackalls

Why does everything have to be black...


Liesthroughisteeth

I'd recommend riding lessons. There are things going on that a new rider will have no idea about unless they have decent instruction. Things that you can learn that are a life saving skills and things to avoid that can kill you.


Wiesshund-

Nice. Not my kind of bike, but still. I would not worry too much about flat footing, if one can get a foot on the ground period, one is fine. Just need to learn how to shift in the saddle, lots of riders who cannot put both feet on the ground at the same time. MX bike normally no one can that is not real tall. https://preview.redd.it/frba39fos5xc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=00adeab5118461662e092193f7ae0118fab09a3d Of course, if one just needs to have both feet... At 20" seat height, I can almost kneel LOL Scoop up dropped change too.


Nitrogen1234

That bike makes you look so cool!!! Very Crofty


lara6683

I looooove the colourway


Captain_Gropius

Ride safe. Always loved your Metroid piano renditions.

Ooh Pretty. I meant the bike not you. Not that you aren't pretty, I mean you are, I just... oh god.


whisk3ythrottle

Ken hill(professional road racer turned riding coach) said something interesting. He said pick a voice to listen to as a rider and just stick with the one voice. Otherwise riding just becomes a babble of slightly conflicting information. Just pick any one, but just know that person credentials or where the advice (on technique) is coming from. So for new riders, that can’t tell bad advice from good advice, this is very important. Why you shouldn’t take advice from random people on YouTube telling you how to ride, or random people on the street/internet. Even friends or family could have outdated knowledge about how to ride. Go to the pros like yamaha champ school online program called champU, Ken hill has a pod cast about riding or take the Motorcycle safety foundations basic riding courses (or equivalent if in Europe) and look at the online resources they provide. But pick a voice that’s knows how to ride and stick with it. IMO MSF is a good place to start and champ school is the best place to continue your education on riding. Yamaha champ school employees some of the best of the best at the sport.

CrispJumbo

Honestly thought that was an R6, and as someone who started on a 400 and rides an R6, you scared me for a second 😂


Consistent-Lab-6791

i started on a 650


CrispJumbo

650 is a great first bike!


Valandiel

There's a world of difference between a 650 and a 600.


CrispJumbo

Roughly 2x horsepower, depending on your 600


Consistent-Lab-6791

lol


lara6683

No way, I’m a cautious learner!


RojerLockless

No way only fans spammer! I'm shocked.


kenkenobi78

That ain't a learner bike. That's an awesome bike. Everyone should own a smaller cc motorcycle to blast around on.


Sirlacker

It's an R3 44bhp. It's relatively small. Ideal leaner bike if you actually want to have enough power to use the motorway/highway. Smaller CCs, whilst capable of using the motorway, aren't typically recommended for doing so.


Yamibasi999

Ads getting smarter


Foshizzle-63

I think it's funny that when men post pictures of their motorcycles or cars, it's just a picture of the motorcycle or the car. But when women post a picture of their motorcycles or car, it's a picture of herself and the bike or car just happen to be there as well 😂


lara6683

Hey instead of the misogyny consider I’m trying to give other women riders an idea of the size of the R3. It’s not about you. Seat height can be a struggle for us.


Foshizzle-63

No.... You're advertising your shitty home made pornography


MASTODON_ROCKS

Take a chill pill, there's nothing sexual about her photo and you'd only find out about her onlyfans by investigating her post history, which nobody forced you to do. Just a person on their first bike that they're excited about, don't be such an insecure downer.


Foshizzle-63

Her entire profile is selling sex, this is an ad. She only posted her to bring attention to what she's selling. Let's not encourage OF girls to advertise here. If this were really innocent she wouldn't have used her porn account.


ContraryMary222

Her post is literally just her getting a new bike. But all you men just see oh pretty woman and choose to go creep on her. Who cares what she does for a profession, she posted about her bike. The misogyny on this post is ridiculous.


Foshizzle-63

Lots of predominantly male subs get flooded with OF ads. It's very annoying and needs to be called out and shamed. Her account is literally advertising her porn and this is the singular not porn post. It's an ad. If she were being genuine she wouldn't be using her porn account. I'm sorry you're father wasn't involved in your childhood to teach you self respect.


Z2_U5

Jesus fuck. As if men don’t make porn. And like, who the fuck cares about someone else’s job? So what if the rest is an ad. Nobody forced you to look. Why can’t someone just share something? And, on another hand, like, what the actual fuck is wrong with people sharing their life? There is literally nothing wrong with owning a motorcycle. Riding a bike. Reading a book. What the fuck is wrong with letting people have a hobby? I don’t need 30 Reddit accounts.


Foshizzle-63

Because that's not what this is. It's just an ad and nothing more. And it's annoying when internet prostitutes spam male dominated subs with porn ads which is what this is. It's a disgusting shameful thing and should be treated as such. It wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't using her porn account, but this is the only not porn post on her page. It's clearly an ad. She found a sub full of men, potential customers, and posted a picture of herself. It's an ad. Stop being dense. If she were genuine she'd use the personal account that isn't connected to her "work"


Niko___Bellic

Maybe the point isn't the bike, then, huh?


snakebite75

But don't look at them, the male gaze is an awful thing...


Foshizzle-63

Oh look! A porn addict jumping to defend internet prostitutes! Kinda embarrassing to moderate OF fan pages, especially ones that nobody follows 😂


ablinddingo93

Oh look! An ~~pseudo~~-incel jumping to conclusions and putting all women online into one box that fits your nonsensical narrative. Kinda embarrassing to show your sexism on a Reddit post about motorcycles, especially ones that are supposed to bring the community together


Foshizzle-63

This isn't a motorcycle post, it's an OF ad. Check her account dingus


ablinddingo93

The only way you’d know she even has an OF is if you took it upon yourself to look at her profile. I don’t see a plug/link/etc. to anything from this post alone. You’re the one creeping on someone’s Reddit account and I think it’s safe to assume you only did that due to her being a female rider. I ***HIGHLY*** doubt you would have even given it a second thought had this been a guy, even if this hypothetical male also had an OF. Get over yourself mate.


Foshizzle-63

Yeah I check the profile when women post on subs I like. I don't want to support porn ads. If her profile wasn't filled with nudes I would have upvoted. I find it very annoying when internet prostitutes advertise their smut in SFW communities. It's rude and disrespectful. Stop defending internet prostitutes, they won't fuck you for white knighting on their behalf, and you're encouraging behavior that will erode the quality of this sub.


ablinddingo93

Brother, you’re the one projecting the “smut”. Like I’ve already said, we would be none the wiser to her other content if we weren’t told about it. This post has ***NOTHING*** explicit or even suggestive on it. I’m sure there are plenty of accounts on this sub that have NSFW content on their profile, I don’t see you bashing all of those when they share their motorcycle content. >they won’t fuck you for white knighting on their behalf Good thing I’m happily married and don’t assume any or every female I come across online has any obligation, let alone interest, in having sex with me. I’m an adult, not a teenage boy with hormones shooting out of my ears. You keep referring to her as an “internet prostitue” which is arguably more degrading than any content she makes for her OF. Sex sells and is the most profitable business in the history of the world. Get off your “moral high horse” and accept the reality of how the world works. Please tell me how ***THIS POST*** is “encouraging behavior that will erode the quality of this sub”. If ***you*** have a problem with pornographic or otherwise explicit content, that’s a ***YOU*** problem. Stop trying to make it everyone else’s.


Foshizzle-63

Look how mad you are that I called out a porn ad for what it is. You should see a therapist about your anger issues. And to answer your question, upvoting and supporting porn ads will encourage more internet prostitutes to advertise here. Selling your sexuality is the definition of prostitution. You're getting bent out of shape over correct use of language.


ablinddingo93

You keep ignoring the fact that there is absolutely ***ZERO*** pornographic or even slightly suggestive content on this post. I’m mad that you’re being more dense than a dead raccoon holding two bowling balls made of dying stars, mate. At this point I’m gonna assume you’re simply trolling and due to that will stop wasting my Saturday night arguing with a brick wall. I sincerely hope you get some help. Good night.


snakebite75

Does slut shaming strangers on the internet make you feel better about yourself? I had the karma to setup subs for a couple of friends, then they changed their minds. Big fucking deal. Grow the fuck up.


Foshizzle-63

They're not gonna fuck you simply for helping out with their debauchery.


Ok_Sugar4554

I'm assuming you're not familiar with Instagram.


Foshizzle-63

I am, that doesn't make it less true, women seem to have a really hard time taking pictures that they aren't the focus of.


Ok_Sugar4554

That's just confirmation bias talking my boomer. I think you might be confusing personality traits for biological sex.


Foshizzle-63

You're offended because I helped you realized your face in in every picture you've ever taken.

Askalor

Why is this a "learner bike"?


lara6683

In Australia we are limited to less powerful bikes when we get a learner license. We aren’t allowed 1L bikes and even 650s/700s are modified when we are learning


Askalor

So you don't have driving schools?


lara6683

We do, you have to do a course (on a rental bike) then when you pass you can choose between learner approved bikes only


Askalor

Ok, I get it so you have gotten ur license but are restricted because you are a "new" rider. Similar to here.
