    New rider

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and touring. I live in Chennai. I ride a Yamaha FZ-S mainly for commute but recently got interested in touring. I'm kinda old....in my early 30s but only now have gotten the itch! Haven't gone more than 120 kms at a stretch but want to start riding longer....baby steps! Nice to meet you all.

    PS: I also want to upgrade my ride to a Yamaha R3 as I feel my FZ-S is not adequate. Is it too big a leap from a 150cc bike?

    Hi

    Welcome to xBhp

    No, the R3 isn't a big step from a FZ. But do start riding long distances on the bike you are familiar with, you can a few months down the line upgrade.

    All the best
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

          Ride hard. Ride safe.
          A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

            Hi

            Welcome to the club.
            Hope you get the R3 soon.
            Ride safe.
            I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.
