(Above) LED lights in the front look mean and tie the
little bike into the family line with the MT-07, MT-09 and

Got any blacker? If you don't want to stand out from the
crowd, the black on black on black has you covered.

the impression they're on a bike bigger
than they are and keeps the design in
line with the big brother MT-10. But the
issue, if you are taller than, say, 5'10" (at
least this was the case for me at 6'1"),
was my knees would hit the edge of the
tank cover and splay my legs out too far,
making for not the most comfortable of
riding positions. The side factor to this is
because the tank cover extends at about
45 degrees at a lower point than the R3,
it has the same effect as to reduce the
gap between the side of the tank and the
footpeg, thus making the rider triangle of
bars/seat/peg more cramped.
