R3 2024 vs R6 Race 2024

If straight-line speed is your priority, the R6 Race takes the lead. With 76 HP more than the R3, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the R3 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 16kg less than the R6 Race, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the R3. Its seat height is 70mm lower than the R6 Race, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the r6race offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
