Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Who even said R3 is manufactured in India? They are made in Indonesia. They kept a line running only for Indian market. And no, Ninja 300 isnt fully made in India. Engine, chassis and many more parts are still imported. Many parts like meter was already made in India from day 1(2013), they just stopped sending it to Thailand for QA check and getting directly from Vendors now as they have set up a plant in Pune.
Ok on topic, it depends on user to user to put their money on either of it. The price difference was around 50k when they both last existed. After owning both these machines for over 4 years now, I would still be happy to put out an extra 50k on the R3. So that’s the whole point. It depends.
R3 got a new fairing, LED lamps and USD forks abroad just to keep it fresh till a completely new model comes up.
Yamaha is already sweating abroad in this category with Kawasaki releasing the Ninja 400, a much better bike at the same cost of R3. So they will act, they have to! Once they do that, hopefully we will get the same thing, but again I dont think they will locally manufacture it. I say this because the locally manufactured Ninja 300 parts price are same as imported Yamaha R3 parts, well some are priced much higher too for the Ninja(much much higer, some costs 5 times more than R3). So I would pay up a bit more at the time of purchase for that quality I get. I would take the Indonesian manufactured parts rather than Indian made as I know what the Indian manufacturing has made the Ninja 300.
