Pros:
1. Stonking engine
2. Good build quality
3. I've ridden the non ABS variant but now
the inclusion of ABS is really welcoming
4. Braking was great. And now with ABS, I hope that braking performance got better.
5. Good for touring
Overall, great mechanical
Cons:
1. Price - now with Kawasaki making a great move by launching Ninja 300 at approximately 3lakhs R3 seems to be pretty overly priced
2. This bike is not a pure "R" series bike as it doesn't offer that level of sportiness as compared to other R series bikes like R6 or R1
3. After having ridden RC390 and Yamaha R3 back to back, I really felt that handling of R3 is not that great, probably because of the weight
4. Looks are subjective but with that asking price Yamaha should have upgraded the design especially the front end
5. And yes, mileage is around 25-28kmpl on the highways and in the city traffic, mileage drops down to single digit
Overall it is a good bike but it hasn't got enough bling to attract potential buyers. It gets the job done but it is not a proper sportsbike. Now with Kawasaki offering Ninja 300 at 3L, Yamaha have got to up their strategy because Ninja 300 is a perfect alternative for R3. And if you want a great track tool just get RC390.
I ride my friend's R3 and to be frank he's now thinking of getting a bike more sportier.

    - Buying Experience:
    Smooth process at authorized dealerships.
    - Riding Experience:
    Thrilling with a powerful 321cc engine, balanced for city and highway rides.
    - Looks:
    Sporty, aggressive design with modern aesthetics.
    - Performance:
    Strong initial, mid-range, and top-end power from the parallel-twin engine. Best in the segment
    -Servicing/Maintenance:
    Reliable options, scheduled services, and genuine spare parts are available.
    -Pros&Cons:
    Most powerful and only twin-cylinder in the 300cc segment in India. Unbeatable in both the initial and top-end.
    Feels a bit overpriced.

    Quite expensive but, none of the bikes give this much riding experience. So highly recommend buying it.
    Good finishing
    Service and all Yamaha people give good repose. Don't open the full throttle.
    The engine it's very smooth and comfortable to ride, gives relative mileage and all
    Have a safe journey.

    This bike is a gem. It offers the best things of its rivals, refinement of the ninja 300 and almost the same power as 390s. Being in a 300cc segment it offers a better pick-up than a ninja and better cruising speed, top end with less stress compared to the 390s. Cons: built quality is not great as the ktms, and all parts won't be readily available in service centers.

  • R3: Beast in the segment

    30 weeks ago


    Sagar Suman Panda

    - Buying Experience:
    Smooth process at authorized dealerships.
    - Riding Experience:
    Thrilling with a powerful 321cc engine, balanced for city and highway rides.
    - Looks:
    Sporty, aggressive design with modern aesthetics.
    - Performance:
    Strong initial, mid-range, and top-end power from the parallel-twin engine. Best in the segment
    -Servicing/Maintenance:
    Reliable options, scheduled services, and genuine spare parts are available.
    -Pros&Cons:
    Most powerful and only twin-cylinder in the 300cc segment in India. Unbeatable in both the initial and top-end.
    Feels a bit overpriced.

    Quite expensive but, none of the bikes give this much riding experience. So highly recommend buying it.
    Good finishing
    Service and all Yamaha people give good repose. Don't open the full throttle.
    The engine it's very smooth and comfortable to ride, gives relative mileage and all
    Have a safe journey.

  • The best 300 I would say!!

    1 year ago


    Aldrin Pf

    This bike is a gem. It offers the best things of its rivals, refinement of the ninja 300 and almost the same power as 390s. Being in a 300cc segment it offers a better pick-up than a ninja and better cruising speed, top end with less stress compared to the 390s. Cons: built quality is not great as the ktms, and all parts won't be readily available in service centers.

    Change the oil every 3000 km. Try to use 140 tyres to make the speedo more accurate. Please maintain this beauty clean, it never disappoints you.

  • 0 vibration smooth engine

    1 year ago


    Bhavesh Jadav

    I am using r3 from last 2 years
    pro:
    power full engine
    good handling
    dual channel ABS
    0 vibration
    cons:
    The Headlamp is not LED but you don't face any problems.
    expensive service cost and expensive parts.
    less ground clearance according to Indian roads (sometimes is touch the ground)
    mileage is not pocket friendly
    but when you ride 160 plus then you understand all of your money is worth it run so smooth even 160 plus.
