Not a big issue at the speeds you'll be doing on an MT03. The little fly screen will take a lot of the wind blast off your chest anyway.
Riding position will make much more difference to your long distance comfort. Sit on both but I'd imagine the R3 will feel a lot more cramped for most people. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

No, not from usa. I see there are plenty wide roads there, if I was there I would get r3 mostly..
I live in crappy small country that doesnt have lane-splitting and somewhat narrow roads but it should be fun for a bike here.. Less traffic..
Why you think im from usa? Is that suppose to be an insult.. |

Right, well THERE is your starting point, and anything beyond helping you sort that little niggle is entirely accademic... so go sort, come back when you have a licence that will let you ride anything.
Where you live, DOES also have rather large relevence to the question; and you have been defensive and STILL not answered, whilst repeating very very inaccurate and nebulouse Americanisms's.

Here you use americanism's that tell us the sum-total of eff-all.

That is a 1983 Kawasaki GPz1100 'Lawson Replica' Superbike... because it's over 500cc and has more than two cylinders, and was available over the counter as a 'street-legal' production motorcycle, so met the regulations for then 'Super-Bike' class 'production' bike racing.
Blazerdolf wrote: | I am curious on yamaha r3 vs yamaha mt-03 |
This is a little more specific. R3 and MT03 are still both 'street-bikes'. They are both designed and built for sale to the general public for use on the public highway, and as such meet the relevent Construction & Use regulations to so be used 'On the Street'.
The R3, is best described as a 'sports' bike, with competition track-bike inspired fairings and styling, the MT03, is best describes as a 'Naked', lacking such styling, designed as a more all-round coimmuter motorcycle, except that describing it as a a 'commuter' would imply 'boring' and 'budget' and make it less atractive in the sales brochure.
Otherwise they remain BOTH 'street' bikes, designed to comply with regulations to let them be used 'on the public road' or street.
A-N-D we are back to top, FIRST thing you need is a LICENCE... and depending on where you live, will depend the answers we might offer to that little problem.
AFTER that; MT03 and R3, are both reasonabe 'beginners' bikes and A2 licence eligible... if you can obtain an A2 licence.
Fairings on an R3 are expensive to replace, but if you have learned to ride and got a licence, no real reason you should brake them for that to be an issue, and dropping an MT03 would likely leve you with as many problems as dropping an R3.... like why did you drop either in the first place, and letting broken bones mend....
R3 is critaisised for not really being as sporty as many may hope, it's not a full on race-replica like other, larger sports-bikes, or as powerful, it IS more an every-day commuter bike in sporty suit.
MT03, is oft aplauded for being far more exiting than its looks suggest, by dint of NOT having that plastic to hint at race-track like performance, giving people aspirations, in excess of the bikes abilities to fulfill them.
MT03 is generally a more sensible more versatile all-round motorycle, that lacking the compromises inspired by styling, offer a lot more all round 'fun', and is probably a very useful first big bike on the back of that, letting an owner sample a wider range of what they might do with a bike, from commuting, through back-lane scratching, on to touring, withyout so many compromises begged by the R3's race-replica plastic styling...
But question of dropping one, would NOT be top of my list of buying considerations.... Get trained, learn to ride, get a licence, you SHOULDN'T drop the damn thing, and if you do... lack of plastic on an MT03 vs R3 is crying over spilled milk... that aint been spilled yet! If you are a nutter you gonna crash, if not, probably not, and if you do, its gonna mean pain and hassle and cost either way.... so....
LEARN NOT TO CRASH!
Question dont matter, really! Which is most comfy? Which is more practical? Which is more Useful? Which is more FUN... for YOU in the use YOU put it too... and dont ask us! We dont have to ride the effin thing!
You by the time this is an issue, is qualified rider, you go make your own decissions.. like whether to sl;ow down past a T-Junction with a SMIDSY Sitting in it, or over take on the brow of a hill with a blind bend... all rather more important, potentially life threatening and expensive than what bike would be best to buy.... when here and now you cant ride a damn thing......
SO....
WHERE do you live? Licence system is very different to the US or Australia, and even to other EU durastictions. It IS pertinant, so effin tell us and stoip being so defensive.
THEN, go get a licence... till you have one, what bike makes no odds, its the last thing on the list of stuff you need. And again, want help on that topic, we NEED to know where you live; no good giving you advice on how to get a UK Driving licence if you live in Istanbul, is there?
So, IF you want advice, backl up,l start again, answer our questions and let us help us help you, OR eff-off, do what you like, and learn by your mistakes... THAT is pretty much the long and the short of it. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
