After making the Indian consumers wait for almost a year since its global unveil, Yamaha has launched the YZF-R3 for the Indian market.
With a design identical to its quarter-litre sibling, the R3’s design is heavily inspired by the bigger Yamaha supersports motorcycles. The fairing gets a twin headlamp unit with an air intake and a pilot lamp in the centre while the rear section gets a sharp pointed tail. The R3 is built around a lightweight diamond-type semi-trellis steel frame, which also packs a rebored version of the quarter-litre liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor. The instrument console integrates a shift indicator light, fuel consumption indicator, fuel-injector diagnostics, gear position indicator and engine temperature indicator.
The R3’s 321cc engine delivers 41bhp and 27Nm of torque, through a six-speed constant mesh gearbox. In terms of suspension, the R3’s lightweight 10-spoke alloy-wheels is supported by the conventional 41mm KYB front forks and a KYB rear mono shock with a seven-step preload adjuster. Globally, Yamaha offers ABS as an optional extra and we expect it to be the same for the Indian market and the braking hardware comprises of 298mm floating disc brake in the front and a 220mm disc at the rear.
The YZF-R3 is sold in two paint schemes –midnight black and racing blue. Like the Kawasaki Ninja 300, the YZF-R3 is being sold as a completely-knocked-down (CKD) unit. For now, there is no ABS variant but we are expecting the Japanese manufacturer to introduce that model with a higher price tag.
The ARAI mileage of Yamaha YZF-R3 [2016-2017] is 22 kmpl.

Pros:engine refinement, looks, riding dynamics, stability, smooth gearbox, light clutch, instrument cluster, handling, etc.Cons: price and mileage in city is not good .If it will come with the price of rc 390 than it will rule in the heart of everyone like ktm bikes do.Ruler of highway in 300 cc segment i like throttle experience. Great bike in compared to rc390 vs dominar vs ninja 300 vs apache rr310.

Awesome bike maintenance cost is low upto 2000.max. after every recommended kms.Like 1000.To 1500 kms. Engine oil cost is upto 550 rs only as compared to kawasaki ninja 300.
economical bike..Only cost is quite high but the bike deserves it. Maintenance can be easily accessed at any yamaha centre's.Parts are also easily available

The bike is very nice.
I love the ride.
Very stable and very nice for daily commuting
42 bhp is enough for every day ride and on long highway trips as well.
There is plenty of power on offer
and you can roam around 20-30 kmph on 4-5 gear with any rpm lag.
The only disappointment is it doesn't have any features like the new ktm duke 390 but it is very good as compared of performance .
The average of bike is a bit low at -18 kmpl in city.
But it is the best bike. Go for it with out any doubt.

I enjoying the ride on this bike too much i like it because it's a good racing and compatible bike for me and in long journey u could never felt any problem while riding on this it shouldn't be good for long root to travel and the sound of bike is very good at least while u drive the bike at 100 to 110 speed u could never felt that u r sitting on a bike because u don't get any other external forces work while on riding
