India-bound 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 launched in Japan at Rs. 4.43 lakh

- Available in a single variant and three colours in Japan

- 2023 model gets LED turn indicators

- India launch likely soon

Yamaha Motor Company has updated its Japanese portfolio with the launch of the 2023 YZF-R3 at 7,29,000 yen (Rs. 4.43 lakh). This price includes the 10 per cent consumption tax that is applicable in Japan.

Does the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 get styling revisions?

Notably, the latest iteration of the sub-500cc YZF-series motorcycle does not get any major updates. Thus, it retains a very familiar design that comprises a twin-pod headlight, a full fairing, split-style seats, a side-slung exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends. It is available in three colours – Deep Purplish Blue Metallic, Black Metallic, and Dark Blueish Purple Metallic.

What features does the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 get?

While the styling does not get any revisions, and the feature list is similar to the previous version, the 2023 model benefits from LED turn indicators that replace the bulb-type units on its predecessor. Thus, the Japanese-spec 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 now comes with full-LED lighting. We expect to see a similar setup on the India-bound model as well. Notably, select variants of the Yamaha YZF-R15 already come with full-LED lighting in India. Meanwhile, the 2023 YZF-R3 continues to use an LCD instrument cluster that misses out on Bluetooth connectivity – a feature that is available on the YZF-R15 in India.

What are the mechanical specifications of the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3?

The mechanical specifications on the Japan-spec Yamaha YZF-R3, too, remain unchanged and the motorcycle retains the 320cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this motor is claimed to deliver a maximum output of 41.57bhp at 10,750rpm and a peak torque of 30Nm at 9,000rpm. The 2023 model is claimed to return a World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC) certified fuel economy of 25.4kmpl.

Does the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 get any hardware revisions?

Similar to the design and the specifications, the hardware on the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 remains unchanged. Thus, the motorcycle continues to use a diamond-type chassis. The suspension tasks are handled by upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock while the braking setup comprises single discs on both wheels. The safety net includes a dual-channel ABS. In comparison, the India-spec YZF-R15 benefits from the additional safety of a traction control system.

What is the 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 India launch timeline?

The Indian arm of the Japanese manufacturer displayed several models to its dealer partners in the country, and among the list were the YZF-R3 and the MT-03. Several dealers have already commenced unofficial bookings for these motorcycles, and we expect to see the YZF-R3 in our market very soon. Notably, Yamaha Motor India is yet to announce a launch date for the new models.
