The Yamaha YZF-R3 is a sports bike available in only 1 variant and 2 colors. The Yamaha YZF-R3 is powered by a 321cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 41.4 bhp and a torque of 29.5 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Yamaha YZF-R3 comes with anti-locking braking system.

Yamaha is looking to relaunch its entry-level performance motorcycle – the YZF-R3. The bike was recently shown at a dealer conference, and the company revealed its intention to launch it in India. This bike was sold in the country a few years ago but was discontinued when BS4 emission norms kicked in.

The 2023 YZF-R3 has gone sharper and more aerodynamic. It might not be as aggressive as its bigger siblings and is closer in styling to the older-gen R1. The motorcycle has a full fairing, split headlamps, and an air intake. Then there is the divided seat setup with a short tail section.

As for features, the R3 comes with a dual-channel ABS, an LCD instrument cluster, and LED lighting for the headlamp and tail lamp. Moreover, it is equipped with upside-down forks and golden fork bottles. But when compared to its rivals, the KTM RC 390 and Ninja 400, the R3 only has decent equipment.

Now, the Yamaha R3’s engine hasn’t changed much since 2019. It has a 321cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that is good for 40.4bhp and 29.4Nm. As for hardware, the motorcycle comes with upside-down forks up front, a mono-shock, and discs at both ends with ABS.

The YZF-R3 is expected to be around Rs 4 lakh and will go against the Kawasaki Ninja 400. Regarding launch time, expect it to be launched around the festive season.
