I have an 08 R3 touring with over 24,000 miles.I love everything about it and it handles fine..for that money,buy a thruxton to cafe out and have 2 bikes..a racer and a tourer..just my 2 cents.PS I like the looks of that R3!!!
life is good..I am retired..sold my America in 2008,bought a Rocket and sold that in 3/2013 and now own a new Triumph Bonneville T-100
