- Priced at Rs 4.64 lakh
- Uses a 321cc, 40.4bhp engine
- Competes against KTM RC 390 and Kawasaki Ninja 400
Yamaha has finally launched the R3 in India with a price tag of Rs 4,64,900, ex-showroom. Bookings for the motorcycle have already commenced and deliveries are likely to take place early next year.
The R3 is brought into India through the CBU route, which is why it has a pricing higher than its competition. Now the design language is similar to that of its bigger siblings but isn’t as sharp as the R15. That said, it also offers lesser features than the former. The new Yamaha R3 sports LED lighting for the headlamp, dual-channel ABS and an LCD instrument cluster sans Bluetooth. That said, it gets a slipper and assist clutch and USD forks as standard.
Now, Yamaha is offering the R3 in a choice of two colour options. These are- Blue and Black Well, powering the motorcycle is a 321cc, parallel-twin engine that churns out 40.4bhp and 29.4Nm. It comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.
In terms of competition, the motorcycle goes up against the Kawasaki Ninja 400, TVS Apache RTR 310 and the KTM RC 390 in the country.
