    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.

    I had earlier owned r15 which i enjoyed very much. But when i upgraded to r3 the satisfaction levels doubled with; sheer handling ease and quality when you don’t feel like you are controlling some external machine, it’s as responsive as your own body parts.Power and acceleration is amazing and will never let you down when you aim for anything. Even when i have left bike unused for a month due to travel it starts without any issues (with r15 i had this issue).Mileage is pretty good for such a powerful bike.I am thoroughly enjoying and looking for next upgrade to r6 when we start manufacturing in India.

    At first I thought the ninja made better sense considering it was a little under a lakh cheaper but then I own an R15 and wanted to stay with the yamaha code but now I've got it and I must say it's worth the premium the refinement the agility the ergonomics of the bike are unheard of in this segment cheers.

    The bike is very smooth and jerk free when shifting gears and all produces max power with its twin cylinder is kind of heavy to handle no problems yet in the bike, like if you are up for long tours and all its the best trustable and reliable bike other than any bajaj bikes the seating facility of the second person is very dangerous though one can fall easily if he/she doesn't hold something while riding.

  • 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.

    Yzf-r3 had been long anticipated purchase since it was first shown in October 2014, it looks sharp and sporty. One can grow with r3. Suitable for all conditions.Mileage is pretty decent even in city commute. Experienced 35k+ kms yamaha support and maintenance cost is acceptable. Best beginner bike ever.

    Prabhu Shankar

    I'm very excited to got this bike. If ride this bike like a ship... Stunning look. Performance wise under 300cc category segments no on can beat this machine. It's abs performs well. Its initial pick up is insane. Riding position is good. Good tyre. High quality product. Service price is normal bus its mileage a very low in city.

    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.

  • Bets bike ever

    5 years ago


    Sreedhar

    I had earlier owned r15 which i enjoyed very much. But when i upgraded to r3 the satisfaction levels doubled with; sheer handling ease and quality when you don’t feel like you are controlling some external machine, it’s as responsive as your own body parts.Power and acceleration is amazing and will never let you down when you aim for anything. Even when i have left bike unused for a month due to travel it starts without any issues (with r15 i had this issue).Mileage is pretty good for such a powerful bike.I am thoroughly enjoying and looking for next upgrade to r6 when we start manufacturing in India.

  • Trust me it makes sense

    5 years ago


    You Know Who

    At first I thought the ninja made better sense considering it was a little under a lakh cheaper but then I own an R15 and wanted to stay with the yamaha code but now I've got it and I must say it's worth the premium the refinement the agility the ergonomics of the bike are unheard of in this segment cheers.

  • Overall fun riding

    5 years ago


    Rahul Kumar Maity

    The bike is very smooth and jerk free when shifting gears and all produces max power with its twin cylinder is kind of heavy to handle no problems yet in the bike, like if you are up for long tours and all its the best trustable and reliable bike other than any bajaj bikes the seating facility of the second person is very dangerous though one can fall easily if he/she doesn't hold something while riding.

  • 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.
