That’s a great option for a first bike. I would also like to point out that on the R3 there is no slipper clutch so it may not be as forgiving on shifts as maybe a Ninja or CBR would. Hope this helps!

Have a question, will be taking my 3 wheel license class in missouri at end of sepptember 2024, nervous, wanted know about written test for first time.
@TheGonewiththewind7Күн бұрын
The written test is not bad. It is almost verbatim from what is in the book, as long as you study a bit from the book and/or take notes in class you will be fine.

The MSF manual can be found on Amazon, I would just search “MSF Course Manual” and find the one directly from the MSF. They are updated every year or so, so the cover may or may not look the same as mine.

In many states the motorcycle and 3 wheel courses are FREE, and you can even take them multiple times. If you're at all interested and this is an option, do it! Oh and don't get a death grip on the throttle on the avoidance swerve, that always causes some interesting results :)

Good video mate! If wonder if a dealership could refuse to honor a radiator under warranty, complaining that someone added a grille that reduced the airflow to the radiator? Your openings seem enough not to block too much air, but some people in my area that own Rykers are saying that in case warranty service is required, the dealership might be fussy… time will tell I guess… one could remove the mod before going in for service, of course…
@TheGonewiththewind7 Жыл бұрын

At least for the Can-am specific and sponsored course, it’s two days with hours of class and ride time. Flipping and skidding are rare, but it’s possible, especially if you have an inexperienced rider.

I bought my bike 2 months ago and taught myself how to ride. It's incredibly easy and I got the freeway and drove an hour home from the dealership. If you can't pass this coarse you don't belong on a motorcycle of any kind. It's easier than driving a car tbh. Luckily here in Cali you don't need to take this coarse but it does help get a discount on your insurance.
