Should I buy the MT 03?
Yamaha has brought the MT-03 as a CBU in India. The new MT-03 is based on the global design and hence its design looks the same. Moreover, its overall build quality and fit-finish are superb. It is a comfortable city-riding bike that is based on the R3 itself. The powerful yet smooth parallel-twin engine of the MT-03 is the best in its segment. However, the lack of features makes the MT-03 less desirable. Also, the price tag of it is too high. Buy it if you like riding more than features.
- The strongest aspect of the MT-03 is its engine performance. The 321cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine offers a very strong performance. In our tests, the indicated top speed was upwards of 160 kmph at the BIC, Noida. The engine is very smooth and rich in torque; especially in the mid-range. Below 3,000 rpm, it doesn’t feel very torquey but post it, the bike simply flies. Also, the redline performance above 9,000 rpm is simply stupendous. There is some minor buzz from the engine around 6,000-7,000 rpm.
- The 6-speed gearbox is very slick and easy to use. There are no false neturals and the feel of using it is also very decent.
- The diamond-type frame of the MT-03 makes it one of the sharpest handling bikes in its segment. It is fairly easy to ride, the turning radius is also moderate but the agility is superb. You can easily flick the bike and lean it extremely on tight corners. Handling experience of the R3 will make you buy one.
- The USD front suspension is not adjustable on the MT-03 but the rear monoshock has a preload adjustment. However, you’ll not need to adjust it a lot due to the brilliant tuning. The bike is neither stiff nor soft. It handles well on the corners while the undulations of the road are easily absorbed by the suspension. But, it is the sharp potholes that’ll feel on the handlebar due to the settings. Overall, if ridden on the tarmac, the R3 remains pliant most of the time.
- Equipped with a 282mm disc at the front and 220mm disc at the rear, the braking of R3 is spot-on. The bike stops in a straight line even after braking above 150 kmph. The stability and the braking bite of the MT-03 make it a rider-oriented bike. Also, we noticed that during our tests there was no brake fade even after repeated hard braking use on the track.
- The core area of lag for the MT-03 is the features department. It has nothing to offer to the consumers here. You only get a digital instrument console. There are no features like Quickshifter, riding modes, TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and even a slipper clutch.
- The design of the MT-03 is beautiful to look at. It looks like a bigger MT-15 in every sense. The overall shape, especially the front, looks alien on the road. Not to mention the dual-colour combo of the wheels and body paint makes it look even more aggressive.
MT 03 body specifications:
| Ground Clearance | 160 mm |


- The MT-03 is a very comfortable bike to ride. The flat tubular handlebar and the upright riding stance offer a very good and comfortable position. If you ride long-distance a lot, the MT-03 offers a brilliant touring setup. Also, the fuel tank shape and the cushioned rider seat make it even more comfortable to ride for long durations.
- In terms of safety, the only feature you get is a dual-channel ABS.

Latest Updates on MT 03
Yamaha has quietly withdrawn the Yamaha R3 and MT-03 from the Indian market, drawing the curtain on two motorcycles that were intended to revive the brand's presence in the mid-capacity segment. Both models, which came to India via the CBU (Completely Built-Up Unit) route, struggled to gain momentum due to high pricing and limited accessibility.
Yamaha Motor India has announced a price reduction for its R3 and MT-03 models in the lineup, effective October 2025. This adjustment follows the government's recent GST reduction for bikes with a capacity below 350cc, from 28% to 18%. So, the Yamaha MT-03 now comes at a price tag of Rs 3.29 lakh (ex-showroom), which was earlier at Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
India Yamaha Motor has reduced the prices of its MT-03, by Rs 1.10 lakh. The Yamaha MT-03 is now priced at Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom), and the new prices will be effective from 1 February 2025.
In the welcome kit box for the Yamaha MT-03, customers will find six goodies: a Casio G-Shock watch, an MT-03 hoodie, a PVR gift card, RS4GP oil, a 3-year extended warranty, and 1-year roadside assistance (RSA). Similarly, the R3 welcome kit includes six items, some of which are different from the MT-03 kit.
Yamaha Motor India introduced the highly awaited Yamaha R3 and MT-03 in the Indian market, aiming to tap into the premium sports motorcycle segment. Following the launch, the brand unveiled the official accessories that customers can opt for to enhance the appearance of their bikes.
