Yamaha enthusiasts can gear up for an exciting return, as the sporty Yamaha YZF-R3 is making a comeback in a new avatar. The anticipated release date for this bike is December 2023. Previously discontinued due to its BS4 engine, the new Yamaha YZF-R3 is now equipped with a robust BS6 engine. Prospective buyers can expect a price range between Rs 3.50 lakh and Rs 4 lakh ex-showroom. This revived model will go head-to-head with competitors such as the Kawasaki Ninja 300, KTM RC 390, and Aprilia RS 457. Notably, the bike will feature upside-down forks for enhanced performance.
Impressive Aesthetics
Yamaha recently showcased the new YZF-R3 in a dealer conference, revealing its stunning design. The bike boasts an aerodynamic front end, aiding its quest for high-speed prowess. Compared to its predecessor, the new YZF-R3 features a more muscular front and a slightly shorter, slender tail. While the official delivery date remains undisclosed, the bike is bound to turn heads on the road.
Advanced Safety Features
The Yamaha YZF-R3 will be equipped with a dual-channel anti-lock braking system, which relies on sensors to ensure optimal control of both tires. The bike comes with LCD lighting and headlamps, accompanied by an LCD instrument cluster. Disc brakes are present on both wheels, complemented by stylish alloy wheels. Comfort is not compromised, thanks to the provision of split seats and a reliable suspension system.
A Powerful Performer
In comparison to its competitor, the Kawasaki Ninja 300, which comes in a single variant with three color options, the YZF-R3 stands strong. Its 296cc BS6 engine delivers a respectable power output of 38.88 bhp and torque of 26.1 Nm. Disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels ensure robust stopping power. With its array of features, the Yamaha YZF-R3 is set to captivate riders with its combination of style and speed, offering LED lighting and dual-channel ABS for an added layer of safety.
