Haven't ridden a production R3 yet so who knows. The problem though is at $5k, corners are going to get cut somewhere and one of the main places that happens at is the frame and suspension. The bike wont see triple digit speeds as it's operational standard like a super sport so a super strong frame really isn't a necessity and neither is a highly tuned and adjustable suspension. I foresee those two corners to be seriously cut. The only question is will they be cut better than the Ninja 300.
The only thing that puts me off on the R3 is the small gas tank. 3.7 gallons is a bit on the small side for my liking.
