    I did ride the Yamaha R3 before, These guys launched with almost everything the same but they truly lost their customers with the pricing literally mocking indian customers, Instead one should go for Aprillia Kawasaki Honda with more power & features at the same price.. loosers Yamaha. Truly an unexpected pricing.

  • The Yamaha YZF has an eventful introduction to the fleet

    9 weeks ago


    Raj Halder

    Yamaha R3 performance, engine
    Another very similar aspect when seen in light of the outgoing R3, is the engine, and if you have ridden the BS4 R3 the memories will come flooding back. The 321cc parallel-twin engine still makes 42hp and it still loves to be wrung out all the way to its 12,000rpm redline. But low-speed tractability is also very nice – you can lazily ride around in 4th or 5th gear below 40kph, and the R3 responds without any signs of complaint. City riding should be quite peaceful, but the clutch is a little heavier than I’d have liked for bumper-to-bumper traffic.

    Tips for other riders

    If I recall there were a few riders upwards of 60k, even up to 80k with no real issues. Other than normal motorcycle maintenance and replacements, the first 'major' thing that needs to be done is the valve clearance check. R3's very reliable and somewhat bulletproof. 32,000+ miles and running strong.

  • Expensive now !!!

    31 weeks ago


    Dhruv Singh

    I never owned this bike. My brother's friend bought this back in 2018 (3.90 lakh On-road). I have ridden this bike a lot. Since there isn't much difference in engine so thought to write a review. And I tell you what, the power delivery is super creamy with butter smooth gearbox and the exhaust note is eargasmic with that twin cylinder. The power sometimes scared me when revved hard but once you get used to it wouldn't be much of a problem. The brakes are good. It doesn't have much of features but honestly, who cares about features, they usually don't use it most of the time. Engine heats in city traffic but it's not unbearable. However, even after 5 years, it never broke down as the servicing is done 2 to 3 times a year. Bhaiya has kept it maintained till now and it only has a few scratches on the fairing but still, the engine condition is as good as new. R3 has been one of my favorite bikes but they launched it in 2023 and in our city, On-road price is 5.30 lakhs. It has become super expensive. A few tips for maintaining a bike, Use 10w50 fully synthetic engine oil (if highway ride is more).

    Best for India roadways . Yes YAMAHA always with top end performance giving you the track experience . Little costly for indian market comparing to 321cc segment but acceptable. Solo drive can give you best maintainance and good service. Steady sports model for youngsters driving to MotoGP . High-acceleration with perfect balance seating comfort makes your long journey comfortable strong and easy

  • An excellent all rounder !

    2 weeks ago


    Nikhil Nair

    The R3 is definitely expensive , but it has a high revving engine that evokes a sense of emotion in you. It is a purely mechanical motorcycle, that skips on electronic aids, but honestly it makes up for that in spades by blending usable performance in the city with comfortable touring capabilities.
