description Overview

Yamaha's YZF-R3 brings genuine supersport aesthetics and handling to the beginner segment with remarkable polish. Its 321cc parallel-twin engine is rev-happy and smooth, providing ample power for highway merging without being overwhelming. The chassis is communicative and agile, offering a taste of sport riding dynamics. A slipper-assist clutch lightens lever pull and prevents rear-wheel hop.

Available with optional ABS, the R3 is a premium choice in the entry-level sport category, praised for its reliability and track-day potential. It scores highly for its refined engine, top-tier fit and finish, and its ability to grow with a rider's skill level.
