No, not by a long shot. But it has character and function and it will pull pull a train or beat a racer. Quite frankly, I've always said the R3 was an ugly SOB. But, would I own one? I'd love to!
I completely agree! Not because I am a such a loyal Triumph fan but because that thing is rediculous. I am not loyal enough to any brand to justify buying an ugly bike but the R3 is ok. Not a great looking bike but the ride makes up for it. I do not care how this thing rides it is incredibly funked up looking. I normally value function over form but come on!!!!!
