Expert Verdict on R3
The Yamaha R3 is a beautiful-looking sports bike that offers the typical Japanese refinement, fast performance, and easy rideability. Also, the overall fit & finish it is solid and the bike is comfortable to ride as well. But, the price tag of it is very premium and the lack of features make it a less value for money deal.
ExpertPros & Cons of Yamaha R3
Should I buy the R3?
Yamaha has brought the R3 as a CBU in India. The new R3 is based on the global bike and hence its design is same. But, the overall build quality and fit-finish are superb. Also, the aggressive styling is matched by a comfortable riding position. The 321cc parallel-twin engine offers one of the smoothest riding experiences in its segment. But, priced at a premium the R3 doesn’t offer any modern features. Also, the lack of safety features like a slipper clutch makes it a bit less desirable.

Yamaha R3 Competitors
- vs
YamahaR3₹ 3.60 LakhRead MoreThe primary rival of the R3 is the Kawasaki Ninja 300. The Ninja 300 has also been present in the market for a long period and that too without any major updates. It also offers a similar smooth and refined performance to the R3. The road presence of the Ninja 300 is also good due to its bright colour options. However, in terms of features, it is the Ninja 300 that offers more. Also, there is a huge price gap between both bikes. Hence, we prefer the Ninja 300 out of the two.
