Yamaha unveils YZF-R3 at MotoGP Bharat: Check expected price
What's the story
Yamaha has showcased its highly-anticipated sub-400cc motorcycle, the YZF-R3, at the ongoing MotoGP Bharat event in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
Set to launch in December this year, the two-wheeler promises to redefine performance and style in the supersport category on our shores.
The fully-faired offering is expected to come equipped with cutting-edge features and elements inspired by the Japanese marque's flagship model, the R1.
The MT-03 is also expected to debut alongside the supersport.
Design
It shares several design elements with the R1 and R7
The Yamaha YZF-R3 takes design cues from larger supersport models like the R7 and R1, featuring low-set clip-on handlebars and rear-set footpegs for an aggressive track-focused look.
Globally, the motorcycle also shares the muscular fuel tank, dual LED headlamps, LED indicators, a sleek LED taillamp, split-type seats, and a digital LCD instrument cluster with its elder siblings.
It rides on lightweight alloy wheels.
Details
It draws power from a 321cc, parallel-twin engine
Unlike certain overseas markets where ABS is not a compulsion, the Yamaha YZF-R3 will be offered with dual-channel ABS as standard in India, to comply with our regulations. The motorcycle will also come equipped with a mandatory saree guard at the rear to ensure better safety for the pillion.
The suspension duties are taken care of by inverted front forks, and a rear mono-shock unit. The bike draws power from a 321cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine (40.4hp/29.4Nm).
Information
How much will the upcoming Yamaha YZF-R3 cost?
Yamaha is yet to disclose the details regarding the pricing and availability of the upcoming YZF-R3 in India. We expect the supersport motorcycle to be priced at around Rs. 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries could start in December or January 2024.
