After riding the R3 friday i would say it's a great little bike. Fun and flickable. Very responsive. Still a bit too tall so i would need to lower it a bit if i got one.
Power wise stock i didn't notice much if any difference from my 300 with my pipe and fuel control system (not sure how much more HP that give the 300).
On thing i realy liked was the tall tank for comfort. the gauge cluster is realy nice if not a bit busy in comparison. Looks wise i prefer the R3 to the 300, i think its a better designed bike.
All in all if i was looking to stick with a small sport bike i would consider selling the 300 to get the R3.
