Yamaha YZF-R3 Review
Quick Review by Maxabout Team
Yamaha YZF-R3 is Yamaha's answer to the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and KTM RC390. The Ninja 400 has now made its debut, and it is being challenged globally by the Honda CBR250RR and CBR300R. Other than the update to BS4 emission standards, there are no mechanical changes to the 2018 R3. But new colour schemes (blue and black) and the addition of ABS make it a better value. It does not have upside-down front forks or an all-digital instrument cluster like the R15 V3. The 321cc parallel-twin engine and handling can bring any man to his knees.
Yamaha has discontinued the BS4-compliant YZF-R3 in India. It will most likely be replaced by the international-spec model sold in European markets. The Euro-spec R3 has been updated to Euro-5 compliance. So if Yamaha decides to bring it here, the motor will need to be updated to meet BS6 emission standards. When that happens the engine output figures might change. The updated BS6 R3 is expected to arrive in India this year.
To keep costs down, the India-bound bike might feature an inverted fork. For those who are unfamiliar, the 321cc engine produces 42 HP of power and 28.8 Nm of peak torque. The facelifted model is expected to cost between Rs 3.7 lakh and Rs 3.9 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with Benelli 302R, Kawasaki Ninja 300, KTM RC 390, and TVS Apache RR 310 on release in India.

Which Color of R3 Is better Blue or Black?
very very hot and stylish bike in2016
The styling resembles much of the CBR, seems to be little lengthier, as its competitors are givng projector head lamps,ABS , its quite disappointing from yahama that it lacks this commonly seen features for this price range.....
OMG too much confusion between RC390(a), R3(b),ninja300(c).
1.better to buy RC390 for its pricing and power.
2.go for the NInja 300 for its looks and comfort.
the R3 for your own shauk.because for some people it aint even a bike for show off because its Yamaha.(from my point of view)
4.if you have more cash in your pocket and want a bike to showoff just go and buy the aprilla rs4 125, 3lakh price.looks exactly same as the aprilla rsv4.
After watching about r3 vs rc390 on YouTube from MCN,and other famous magazine testriders rc will stay ahead of r3 till 1st gear I.e. 55km/h as soon as you shift into next ratio on rc the r3 first gear will be still pulling to 68km/h as its high revving 14k RPM as compared to single 10.5k rpm rc will be faster only till 0-60km/h and I've tested both bikes myself rc is hell faster quick revving BT. The problem is it got fast revving midrange BT. Not top end rc needs 2nd gear when I hitted 55km/h (rpm shift light glows) BT when I rode r3 at adchini dealership r3 was readlining at 14k. Rpm at 68km/h.Although rc was very quickly as compared to r3. BT when I touched 55-78 km/h 2nd gear and from 78-99at 3rd gear (rpm shift light on) I put the best time of 6.3secs on rc alone 0-100. At ktm lajpat nagar dealership. In 5 attempts bt r3 was at 100 in 2nd gear. Now from here I can say that although rc is fast revving motor it lacks quick shifter hence rapid gear shifts will take time to shift from 2nd to 3rd gear minimum 2sec wastage bt. In case of r3 only 1 sec is wasted during shifting as r3 reached 100 km/h in 2nd gear and I was at 100 in clear 5.95 secs stopwatch measured by friend in 5 attempts. So from here I can say that both r neck to neck in performance only a better, experienced rider can win bt. In most case rc will win 0-60 & r3 will win from 60-197kmph as rc is 179 top by motorbeam. Also r3 will have thumping, roaring & bassy sound effect. Bt rc sound is cracking and thin sometimes felt like chetak.any ways what more is r3 is extremely good lookin and more larger as compared to thin rc which does'nt even look like r3 got everything more than rc bt it is 1.25 lack more than KTM which offers USD forks,Abs,metzelers tyres,etc. Bt still if u r getting r1 DNA, looks,style,extra cylinder, less overheating, large body size which I love,vibration free experience, high topend rush, throaty exhaust sound,mrfs,larger fuel tank,Yamaha build quality, paint job,reliability etc. and want the fastest A2 licence bike for just 1.2lack then r3 is best.Also it's not Yamaha fault to tag this price as in international markets r3 costs only 1.9lac INR IT IS DUE THESE BULLSHIT CBU AND CKD WHICH TAXES 110% DUTY FOR THESE IMPORTED JAPANESE AND EUROPEAN BEAUTIES JUST TO PROTECT OUR INDIAN ECONOMY AND MARKET LIKE BAJAJ AND HERO ALSO HAYABUSA WHICH COSTS 18LAC (CBU) HERE IS ONLY 8.5 LACK INR IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS SO WE MUST FORM GROUPS AND COMMUNITIES REGARDING ABOLITION OR MINIMIZATION OF THESE DUTIES PLZZ. HELP BCOZ THESE BIKES ARE LIGHT YEAR AHEAD.WE SHOULD CONFESS PM THAT INDIAN MARKET WILL NOT GET RUINED SO HE ABOLISH THESE TAXES .Thank any correction and comment will be apriciated.

For all Assole's out there first Learn to respect each and every bike..your nt there to sit and criticize the bikes, so shut your gob and keep it with your self...
Still KTM 390 is winner
Hello.I want to know that r3 international version will be available or not in india?
launching on 11th august 2015
rc390 could be faster in 0-100 kmph, but would never buy that piece of crap, its a no-brainer. With that little fuel tank, with that seat, with that vibrations, with that sound.... its impractical, im not gonna ride at 170 always.... it's one looser's showoff bike...
dude itni jyada speed se Kaha bhagaega gadi Ko... 200 ns Ko b bhagate lal. ho jati he q k bike out of control ho jati h... qk Usme 24 bhp. h...or gadi bhagane k lie starting me horse power chaiye... Kitne top speed tak jaegi wo to bad ki bat h... r3 -4 laks ki or rc 390 -2.30 ki bohot deference h price me ...rc 390 _ 44. bhp marti h or r3. _41.bhp, rc ka torque bohot jyada h...it means gadi weight aasani se khichegi.... or rai bat speed ki to rc390. 200 klmp b touch kardeti he or utni lambi coutinue race k liye road Kaha he.. so better is that go for rc 390''' ha agar extra Pese pade h to multiple cylinder taknology wali r3 lelo....
in ma view rc 390 is best in aspects of styling seating posture n main thing its price
Dear please mention complete details because half truth is more dangerous than falsehood. You've mentioned 2 cylinders & 4 valves, but per how many cylinders??? It's probably 4 valves per cylinder as per my knowledge. And request you to swap the front & rear tyre specifications. It's mentioned 140 for front & 110 for rear. Even R1 doesn't have 140 front tyre.
And I feel people commenting that it has 3 cylinders would be due to the incorrect count of cylinders mentioned by you'll earlier.
Kindly make the corrections.
i bought the ktm rc390 2 weeks ago, honestly speaking i don't think yzf r3 is any competition to it and also rc390 is just 2.35lkh
Price will be definitely above 5 lakhs just for the 3 cylinders
3 cylinder omg new in India i would love to have it..
