Yamaha YZFR3 2015

2015 Yamaha YZF-R3 – 65,707 Miles | One of the Coolest Stories You’ll Hear

Some bikes have miles.
Some bikes have stories.
This one has both.

We sold this Yamaha R3 brand new in 2015 to a 72-year-old customer who wanted a lightweight, fun, confidence-inspiring sportbike. He rode it. A lot. And at 83 years old, he just traded it in… for the exact same bike — brand new again.

That should tell you everything you need to know about how good this motorcycle is.

Yes, it has 65,707 miles. And yes, it has been meticulously cared for its entire life. It was owned by one mature rider, regularly serviced, and it shows. The bike is incredibly clean for its age and mileage, and we just went through it:

Fresh service completed
Brand new tires installed
Fully inspected by our technicians

This isn’t a worn-out beginner bike — it’s a well-loved, well-maintained machine with a proven track record.

2015 Yamaha YZF-R3

Welcome to R World

The all-new R3 features class-leading performance and legendary Yamaha superbike styling.

Features may include:

• Large 321cc twin-cylinder engine offers excellent performance whether navigating cross-town traffic, hitting the twisties, or on the racetrack.

• Yamaha supersport inspired styling with a full fairing in a chassis that makes it perfect for first time riders or experienced riders who prefer a lightweight, nimble machine.

• Forged pistons just like the R1 and R6 are both lightweight and provide strength while the offset cylinders reduce friction for more power.

• The YZF-R3 offers a riding position that is very comfortable and the clip-on handlebars deliver a sporty rider position.

• With a seat height of only 30.7 inches and a flat seat design on the YZF-R3, it’s easy to get both feet firmly on the ground and inspire confidence, especially for beginner riders.
