YAMAHA R3 Custom | Great Passion for Track
Webike's Opinion
Legendary YZF styling, not big horsepower but infinite potential at the track. Today we present you a Race Spec YAMAHA R3 custom by our Webike community user "BLUE". Based on its official concept of a "Superbike which you can ride every day", the Yamaha YZF R3 combines high-dimensional riding performance and styling with ease of handling in daily ride, and has been popular among young bikers since its release.
The owner has turned his R3 into a race bike and rarely rides it for touring. But from the license plate we do know that it can still be ridden on the legal street. Since it was difficult to use the stock suspension on the track, it was changed to an OHLINS suspension.
The handle part has been fully upgraded with a top bridge, switch kit, and model-specific high throttle kit, and has evolved into the ultimate race model with "faster installation" while maintaining the ease of disassembly and maintenance of the previous model.
The 10-position variable STRIKER rearsets kit is also installed, making it suitable for all scenes, from street to track. The use of bearings in the movable part allows for surprisingly smooth and solid gear shifting operations. Of course, all exterior parts such as a race tank cover, under cowl, and front fender are also installed for race, and carbon materials are utilized to the maximum extent possible to reduce weight. K-Factory D-Header full exhaust system with stainless steel exhaust pipes and titanium silencers was built in accordance with MFJ Japanese competition regulations for the ST250 road race, and it provides high performance and a very pleasant sound. From the owner: "For advanced riders and return riders, please try it once at full throttle and rev it up. It must change your mind!” Although he is not a professional racer, this modification fully reflects his passion for the track, the motorcycles.
