    Cleaning chemicals and the R3

    I've searched all the forums and I can't find anything that relates to this, so here goes. I tend to keep my both my bikes as close to spotless as possible (ask BanjoBart). Living on a dirt road makes it even worse as in crawl at 2 mph to the pavement. My dealer uses Simple Green and S100...

    Classic verses Standard R3 Handle Bars?

    If the R3 classic's handle bars are longer and closer to the drivers chest, does anyone know by how much? Inches or cm will do. Thanks

  18. The Verdict Is In On R3 Classic Seat

    I was in the saddle for about 6 hours today and I have no complaints about the "Touring" seat on the R3 Classic, which by the way is available to purchase as an option for all models. The floorboards deserve some credit too. In fact it may be the combination that made the ride comfortable...
