 What is up guys and welcome back to the John and Q channel. Thanks so much for watching. Today's video is a little bit different only because I'm showing you something new to the vlog. Something new to the channel potentially going to be filming Modo vlogs. I don't know but it's just right here. I don't know if you can see it but boom. That's what it is. The Yamaha R3. We'll run it. Please don't run over it. Don't run it over. Thank you for not running it over. Well before we get into it let's get some epic b-roll of the nice-looking Raven Black R3. So yeah this is my first sports bike. So far I've been riding for about a week and I love this thing. This bike has so much kick in the lower rpms. Shift gear super fast just because your revs so high and it just it gets moving. It gets you there quicker. It's got so much of a kick that I love it for that reason. And again for my size this is the perfect bike. I might upgrade to an r6 or like a you know r1 down the road this year but for right now kind of going to get used to to the r3 fuel. Another thing that I do like about this bike is I mean just the overall like switches are really like really solid and like they're very you know you feel safe and you feel like you're not going to slip and they're not made loosely. They're made for you know the driver in mind. They're very adequate. Everything about it. The handling is great. It's a very easy bike to maneuver very nimble. And I feel like every video that I've seen out there about the r3 everyone's saying oh it's so nimble and so light it actually really is nimble and very light and that's why it's so easy to maneuver. And that's essentially why I chose it. Again as a first sports bike to kind of get to get a feel for what that thing could do. And let me tell you it's it may be small to some people but that thing rips on the road. That thing goes so fast. I love it. It just gets me jacked. It gets me bummed. Like I said this is a little different than the usual Johnny Hugh videos because I'm just going to go through and kind of do an overview kind of a run through of the r3 what it has what it doesn't have and what I'm going to be doing this summer. So let's get into it. Okay guys like I said before what we have here is a 2017 Yamaha r3 in Raven Black. So good. So so good. I guess the first thing I want to note is that I have the stock exhaust on there and I know there's a bunch of different exhausts like voodoo, Kauffman, Echopritch or I don't know how it's pronounced but it's something like that. I'm not I don't remember the name it's slipping my mind. But you know most people hate most people are saying that this exhaust really sounds like a sewing machine. I don't know. I kind of disagree. I kind of like the way it sounds and kind of the way it looks. In my opinion, I mean it does sound pretty pretty beefy like when you first turn it on it sounds wimpy. Sure. But when you start revving and you start actually you know hitting it and ripping it it does sound pretty good. So let me let me give you a test. So I mean it sounds pretty stealthy in my opinion. It sounds like it's an electric bike mixed with a sports bike to be honest. It's dying because it just ran it cold but see if I were to rip it I don't know that to me sounds pretty that sounds pretty aggressive and I like that about this bike and so for that I have the stock exhaust. This here used to be the stock lights that came out. It just looked really bulky and not so good. So switch those out to the super simple kind of sleek looking lights for the turn signals. This version does have ABS. Let's go to the front panel here and it's actually quite quite nice. You know I got digital and analog dashboard which is awesome so really I do like that about this bike. Turn that off. Now if I get on here I will say the one thing that does bother me about this specific bike are the mirrors on the side here. When I have my arms out I can only see my elbows and that's pretty much it. I have to kind of lean over to really see what's behind me or actually literally look behind me. So that's you know I might change those mirrors out to something else that's a little sleeker and kind of more functional because you got to look where you're going. This 2017 Raven Black Yamaha R3 and I was going with a bunch of other different bikes like I looked at different bikes like the CBR500, R6 and some other cruisers but if you look for what I do just ripping around town potentially do some road trips this thing would be able to handle it no matter what. That guy was creeping the whole time like I don't know if he was trying to steal my stuff over there but like he was just creeping and I mean the R6 for me it just was too big and I didn't want that much power. This is my first sports bike and so I wanted something light, something I could control and maneuver and handle on the highway as well as you know commuting around town. This is also Defender Eliminator Kit. It used to have this big arm that came out here with the license plate so we took that off replaced it with these little little lights because it kind of just slams down the bike same with those lights on the front there and it just gives it an overall just slimmer more Batman like you know cooler feel to it and I like it. I like it a lot. You know I'm not sure if I'm going to change the exhaust out because I like it so much but I don't know we'll see within time this time or maybe I will do like a different exhaust and go from there. I might these are the the Stalk halogen lights I might switch those out to some really sick looking blue or white LEDs. So yeah there you guys have it nothing to it it's really just an overall review and kind of look at the Yamaha R3 in Raven Black. This summer I do plan on doing some moto vlog vlogs meaning you know I put a GoPro on get some audio going I'm on the road and I talk about the bike I talk about different things where I'm going what I'm doing and just different stuff like that on the channel. I don't know if you remember last year but last year I had a Yamaha 650 and I was a good cruiser but I feel like this is more of my style more of a kind of sleeker looking BA all black again all black all black it's just it fits the bill and I love it. If you guys want to see anything else about the Yamaha R3 please let me know down in the comments below I'll try my best to answer all the questions that you guys have. I know as a newbie with the R3 I had tons of questions and I was hoping that someone would be able to answer them they didn't so I had to do a bunch more research. So with that being said guys I will catch you next time on the John and Q channel. Peace. All right let's go rip this let's go rip it.
