If you are swapping the entire triple you could consider anything at that point and find the one that swaps over the easiest or like alex s said, aftermarket triple.
Nope.

The R3 is no doubt going to be (is) a great little bike. Being the latest to the party, it just one upped all the other competitors in the class. I won't be getting one (cost) but I am under no delusions I will be able to keep up with one on any of the straight portions of the track.

$5K R3 or $7K FZ-09? Not sure I want an "improved Ninja" maybe I'll try something different for a while. Or $12K for both.

Interesting that Yamaha is smart enough to equip the bike with decent tires and not the IRC junk.

I sat on the new R3 at the Montreal Motorcycle show.

The seating position felt really weird. My balls were sitting on top of the gas tank.

NOT comfortable.

The Ninjette no longer comes with IRCs either, they have switched back to Dunlop for 2015.

It's a shame that the R3 isn't coming with the street radials but is getting a bias ply version instead, took the tires from a strength to a weakness

The reviews are now trickling in as the media had a track day at Thunderhill a few weeks ago.
Notable comment was "no more noticeable power than the Ninja".

They have a shift light, but no slipper clutch, no ABS. Otherwise, specs are very similar to the Ninja 300. It's basically a Yamaha price undercut on the Ninja.

Although my 2015 has the dunlops, I was just at the dearlership last weekend getting my first service and there were two ninjas on the floor, both with IRCs.

come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Street tires. Unlike the Pilot Street radials you've seen elsewhere, this is a special bias ply tire designed specifically for the R3.

Not the way to do it at all. Preload and spring rate are not the same thing. You actually need the bike to sag a certain amount. Adding preload willy nilly changes the sag.

Saw a couple of them at the Spring show.
I am not a huge Yamaha fan though I do love the R6.
It felt comfortable enough, I like the design of the tank but other than that it didn't really tickle my fancy. :P xD

That's a fancy way of saying "we have no idea because there was a strike at the yamaha factory and the port issues in LA are backing up shipments like crazy and screwing everything up."

It doesn't feel much different from a 300 IMO. The RC390 tank feels very narrow and like it doesn't hold your legs in at all. That one is the way different one.

FBC in Kearny Mesa was doing demo rides this past weekend and they supposedly had the R3 available....and free hot dogs.

They conveniently sent the email out mid-day on Saturday, which meant half the day was already over.

Man I want to switch from carb N250 to f.i. R3 so badly, but really need to wait for reports from first batch of buyers. Just not sold on N300 reliability. But that abs and slipper clutch and parts availability.

8th bike this year (carry over new kawasaki ninja 250)

Point i would like to make is i have ridden many different types of motorcycles for 20 years, and like the ninja 250 the best. It is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. I used to break the speed limit on the Concours in second gear! For me, the ninja 250 is perfect for around town, and short (less than 300 mile) riding days. Great mileage, inexpensive insurance, looks great, and it fun.

Yeah I think the N300 is pretty darn solid at this point. Based on a proven bike and now almost 2 years into the new model without any big issues.

I think you can trust Kawasaki, it's not like it's a Ducati or something

The N300 in terms of reliability is pretty solid. She fires up like it's no ones business and she revs quickly and pulls hard for such a little bike.

The only "problems" with the N300 is that there was a recall on the ECU and the other problem is that the plastics are really cheap... I mean, very cheap. I believe it's only the 13' n300 but the plastic pieces on the front actually start separating and it looks bad. (mine is doing it) Not a huge deal, I think you could get a complete set of aftermarket fairings for like $500.

Adding preload is the only way to adjust the sag. All after market preload adjusters do is have a variable spacer atop the spring. Sag should be set properly, not willy nilly, but increase spring rates and you have to worry about the rebound dampening.
For riders above 160-170lbs, a small spacer does wonders.

I think you can trust Kawasaki, it's not like it's a Ducati or something
I've done crazy mileage on Kawas in the past. The N300 was an evolution from the 250, and they really listened to customers, and they even reduced compression, with more power.

R3 is cheap, new model. I'll bet anything the 2016 version will have ABS -Yamaha does not want to be the only manufacturer not to offer ABS in the land of litigation lawyers.

As for media opinions..meh..they cheerlead any new bike.

I'd rather have a slipper clutch than ABS, I love how perfect every single downshift is no matter how bad I mess it up. I've intentionally tried to blip poorly and it still results in a near perfect revmatch so long as you blip at all

You can just install a slipper clutch on most bikes.
