Is the R3 worth its price?

I am currently looking to buy a brand new 2024 R3, and was wondering on peoples thoughts on the price point and if it was worth. There is a dealership near me that has the 2024 r3 up for $8000 rideaway (700 off rrp which is $8700)

Dealerships also keep the rrp for 2023 models instead of discounting them so i wasnt sure on what to get.

Wanted to know if the deal is good or if anybody knows if dealerships do End/Start of year sales as in a week it will be 2025 or if anyone recommends another bike for around the same price.

People have recommended the cfmoto 450sr however i wasnt sure on reliabilty

The dealership i am looking at is Trooper Lus garage, and if anyone has good experiences with them let me know thank you

(I know people will tell me to go used however the market around me is horrendous so i will not bother and i will also be giving it to my little brother once he is of age to ride)
