Got the R3 recently and I have no complaints. Even if the MT03 has more comfortable ergo's the R3 isn't that far behind. Honestly don't think anyone would be disappointed either way.

You honestly will pick between the two based solely on looks. You can ride either as hard or as lite as you want. If the slight difference in riding position matters to you then you can buy the clip-ons for very little cost giving you both bikes for the price of one + clip-ons/handle bar and hardware. Just my 2¢

[@Everendlesss]

Fantastic content as always Chase and team. I got a 2017 R3 with 1000 miles on it as my first motorcycle. Im 5'9 and around 150 pounds. As a first motorcycle, the R3 has been absolutely fantastic. I took my motorcycle course a few months after getting the bike last October. This season i've put 3 thousand miles on it and loved every mile. The bike came with everything I need such as an M4 slip on, frame sliders, and a tail tidy. Just to throw this in there since prices are wild right now, I paid $3998 plus tax, title, etc this past October. The bike costs me $25 in insurance and less than $100 for a payment a month. Many of my friends that had been riding for a while told me to get a 650 class to start with. With the skills I have now, I believe I would have handled a 650 well. I wanted a Ninja 650 as my first, so I went to my insurance company. I got insurance prices on 5 different bikes. After seeing how expensive even a new Ninja 650 was compared to a used R3, my choice was made. The R3 is a fantastic first bike. Everyday ride I get back from, I am blown away how capable the bike is. Once I got some miles on the road, I understood why my friends said a 650 would be better. I would definitely like more torque in my life. People like numbers and when theirs is higher. The number I like most, is my out of pocket cost per month for a learning tool. If you get the right tool, and learn to use it well the sky is the limit. In conclusion, The R3 is a compact, light weapon. An experienced rider on a twisty road would surprise you riding this 321cc machine. The price is very friendly, along with everything else about the bike. Chase and the team has said it better than I can as a new rider. The R3 series was fantastic. Thanks for all the great content. Been a viewer for many years before finally starting the journey.

[@marcuslee2026]

$25 in insurance? That's awesome. Double that with me being in a more city area for an MT03.

[@fabian_ftn6604]

Does it feel comfortable?

[@jimmypage1969]

​@@fabian_ftn6604 not for long rides

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

I think long ride comfort is one of those things you build up over time. The first time I tried to ride 2 hours on a motorway without stopping, well I found those last minutes very difficult. Just wanted to stand up, walk about and stretch. But after that I found the next long journeys much easier. After a while I could ride through 2 fuel tanks. Literally just stop to fill up and then carry on for another 2 hours. 4 and 5 hours without a real break. This was on sports 600 and 1000, Honda CBR and Fireblade. In my opinion they fitted quite well, not small, enough space. They have wind protection.

[@raymondlaney8508]

Been waiting for this comparison since I’m looking for my first bike and was excited to see my dude Chase doing this!

[@92Cuky_]

I've had an R3 for almost year and a half now and I'm loving every minute I spend riding on it. In some cases I catch myself thinking something more powerful would be better, but then I get to throw it around at pace on coastal roads here in Croatia and it just fills me up with joy. One thing I had to do though is change to a different helmet because of quite a lot of buffeting at higher speeds, but that is now the thing of the past. I'm still getting the higher "endurance" windscreen though. When I am able financially to get a new and bigger motorcycle I hope I won't need to sell this one. It is the first motorcycle that I have owned and it really got under my skin.

[@mt09madness]

If you can afford it, keep it and buy a bigger one. The lil r3 may not have much power but it is really fun. I do miss mine a little aey.

@@sagar2253 I had HJC RPHA11 and it was really bad above 80 km/h (around 50mph if I'm not mistaken). It was ok while tucked all the way down behind a windscreen, but it is not the comfortable way to travel for few hours. Then I got AGV Corsa-R on sale and it is much better. Though if you're in just the right position with closed chin went it starts to whistle a bit, but few centimetres lower or higher and its fine. That is why I'm getting higher windscreen to see if it will help with that

[@paulwilliam55]

I rode both back-to-back,before buying the R3. The reason that I chose it over the Mt03 were that the R3 felt more planted, and also that the cutouts on the MT03 fuel tank were in a position where my knees kept catching on them at the wrong times - I had to really work around them, rather than them adding to the riding experience.

Nearly zero background riding experience, just 50cc moped and pitbike(clutchless) and 850cc 4wheeler(auto, sportsman for hunting)...and im only 155lb 5'8"....so a small bike is pretty ideal. Once I get used to this bike and next year if im more confident then yes absolutely will think about moving up but so far I've only taken the bike on one main road.

[@Lukas-jm7cx]

@@petergeanacopulos5327 I ride a MT07 without any problems yet I am "only" 5 foot 7 and 135 lbs. More weight doesn't help while riding and as for the seat height the MT03/07 is 78/80,5mm high. I am still used to riding a 88mm (93 originally) WR 125 R on which I started at the age of 16. It's not about weight or height in your case but rather about experience as you mentioned it yourself. Starting on a MT03 is a good idea if you are not familiar with bikes yet. Cheers.

Your videos are very well produced...I appreciate that. Here's the thing...I'm not a new rider and I'm certainly not the "intended" audience for either of these bikes, but...I've been considering a smaller/lighter bike that is easier to handle. I've been riding for about 15 years and have had just about every kind of bike...cruise, sport bike, naked, dual sport, adventure touring and modern retro now (Triumph Bonneville T120 Black). Problem with the Bonnie is she's 525ish lbs wet...she's a heavy girl. My wife recently decided she isn't interested in riding anymore and I want to get something for just me. My top contenders have been the MT03, Ninja 400, KTM 390 (Duke or Adventure) or go real light and simple with something like a Kawasaki KLX230. I'm not concerned about any of the Kawasakis or Yamahas as far as reliability/durability...the KTM gives me reasons to be worried about long-term reliability, but they're the best looking/most engaging of the group. Decisions, decisions...any advice??

I paid cash for a '99 Honda CBR 600 F4 w/ 1,312 mi on it! It ended up being a good 1st bike for ME [not ALL beginners] I didn't get stupid and push my luck for at least 6mo. Then I abandoned my code of "never finance a bike", & financed a '07 Ninja ZX14. (My buddy Jake got 1 too, & rode it to take his Moto LICENSE TEST!) It's been 10yr+ & he STILL doesn't have his endorsement! 😂 I guess south Tampa, FL is different. We still ride 2x-3x a month together. Now I've king since sold those bike, and bought & sold several more, going through phases of Suzuki DRz, dirt bikes, Burgman 650cc Scooter, and a BMW Maxi Scooter along the way. (Don't JUDGE ME, I LIVE DIRECTLY ON THE GULF OF MEXICO, so we get a scooter pass) anyway, for a few years I've noticed all the big co's putting out smaller CC bikes like KTM Duke 390, Yammie R3, CB300 or really small pit bike sized Honda Monkey or Grom, Z125, and SSR (Benelli 135cc). So I've tried a few small displacements out. I gotta say, the MT-03, or DRZ400sm, or ANY newer

Been riding for 40 years now. I own a nc750x dct and often ride my friends r3. I tried à lot of bikes in my life and the only other bikes that puts such smile in my face are the ktm duke 390 and 690. And considering reliability, the r3 is a no brainer. The riding positions is definitely not that agressive, should not be a consideration comparing to the mt03. Neither is the fairing for those who do their own maintenance. The r3 fairing takes only a few minutes to remove and is a definite plus for comfort at highway speed.

[@Ghillie714]

I'm probably going for an MT-03 once I get my license next spring. Mainly for comfort and overall Ergo's, got a 20 min highway ride to the city, which also is not that much of a drag. And because in my province, your insurance doubles over 400cc.

i love my Mt03 i bought it may 2020 and its been a blast you can get into an aggressive postion if you need to might look funny XD but MT03 is cheaper but a overall blast and enough power around town and in turns love i get to wrap out the gears i put a full Yoshimura alpha T werks and it sounds Ahmazing would love to hear it on a MT07

What I found lacking in this obviously rushed presentation were comparisons of suspension - is the MT-03's softer as would be expected. Does the MT-03 handle bumps or rough roads better? What about wind buffeting? How much does the R3 protect the rider from the elements, and how much does its aerodynamic profile affect performance?

I like your review. I was thinking a MT03 would be a great starting bike. I would probably be doing country roads.

I commute..day to day riding on streets and highway and on weekends I ride in the great smoke mountains through pigeon forge a d Gatlinburg and I ride the foothills parkway on my r3 and my friends all ride 600s and I'm rite there with them!!! I OWN A 2017 R3

Great video, thanks. What i found interesting as a beginner rider i feel more comfortable siting in R3 rather than MT-03, is there something wrong with me :)

Nice 🔥 reviews

It's really easy choice. If you want a motorcycle that you can commute comfortably on, take it on the weekends to do some twisty mountain raids, perhaps even some light track days, get the MT03. If you're only riding the motorcycle as a weekend toy, get the R3. MT03 has capabilities that most riders won't ever reach at a much more comfortable package.

Counterpoint on the MT03 vs R3 for commuting and around town, throw saddle bags on the R3. Tiny sport touring bike. That's what I do an it's pretty slick honestly.

I've owned nothing but sport bikes TL 1000r, ZX10R and CBR 1000 now I'm looking for a commuter bike to go through the freeways and City driving that mt 3 looks very fun

[@jorgeholz]

Thanks! I bought r3 cause i love speed bikes. Mt 3 also excellent bike! 🙌

I have the r3 and wouldn’t change a thing either way you decide to go I think you’ll be happy
