Not sure if this is a Derby...
2.4L Inline 3 / 146HP / 165 ft/lb. This thing is powerful enough to pull a boat!

No need for a pickup to tow your bikes.
Just pull 'em with another bike.
(I'd do it just for the looks and confused questions.)

It also makes 34 HP and 8 ft-lbs less than my 1.8 liter car.

It's a torque monster for sure.... but 800lbs, 146hp,.. and teeny front disks!
Mind you, in the hands of a capable rider, even a goldwing can fly....

I demo'd a R3 a couple years ago.
While it is a cool bike, it was not as brutal as I had hoped. They limit power in the first few gears.
That being said, if you want to cruise at 140 mph, you can.
It also needs more ground clearance. In my first corner on the demo ride I proceeded to plant the foot board and skate it through the entire corner
Cool bike, but not my style.

Somehow I can't picture you on a bike with foot boards.

Sometimes you have to try new things to realize you were good where you were
