  • Yamaha R3 launched at 3.48 lakh in Auto Expo 2018

    India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. today introduced the popular sports model, YZF-R3 at the Auto Expo 2018 in the presence of Bollywood star and Yamaha’s brand ambassador John Abraham. The new YZF-R3 is enabled with dual channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) technology and high grip Metzeler radial tyres. The motorcycle will be priced at Rs. 348,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) and will be available at select authorized Yamaha dealerships.

    The dual channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) technology will further ensure reliable braking on slippery roads by automatically adjusting the brake fluid pressure. The new YZF-R3 will also come with additional new features, including the premium Metzeler radial tyres for high-safety performance and enhanced grip.

    The model will be available in two colour variants – Racing Blue and Magma Black. The winner of industry’s most prestigious “Indian Motorcycle of the Year (IMOTY)” awards in 2016, YZF-R3 will retain all of its original features of a twin cylinder model along with a dual channel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

    The 321 cc motorcycle is equipped with liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, in-line 2-cylinder, fuel-injected engine for smooth power delivery and driving pleasure. YZF-R3 is known for a solid combination of class-leading power and a lightweight body that achieves high levels of riding performance and styling. It is also a classic example of power-packed engine on a powerful frame delivering fantastic nimbleness that allows an easy and comfortable ride across all terrains.

          Specs are the same as the previous version of the R3, except the inclusion of ABS and Metzeler tyres

              Finally..After a long long time!

              It has increased weight 3 kgs though due to ABS.

              But now the mini legend is back with a bang. Safer and more stickier tyres which should've been there from day one. Super pricing too with minimal hike.

              Now after RR310 if your not looking above the ₹5.5 lakh machines like Ninja 650. This is really VFM now for what it offers!

              Like someone said in an earlier thread the RR310 and the R3 share the same soul. Only difference being one is Single and other is a Twin.

              Two No-brainer VFM machines for sports touring.

              Cheers!

                Yea, i agree, Unless some one is really interested in Twin cylinder, RR 310 is a better option with better hardware which has the similar purpose..

                  Any idea if the ABS module can be fixed to the older R3?? Or is there a more technical complexity

                          ABS was the missing link earlier. Good job. Maybe the best in class now. Also, there is always a trade off between quality and price.
                          A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                            Can't wait to get a hand on her. Though quick shifter, usd forks and slipper clutch would have been great, i think Yamaha is aiming at making this bike more mass-appealing. Was expecting the r6 though, but then again, my guess is, Yamaha is looking for volume in the world's largest two-wheeler market. Countdown to owning her begins.

                              Nice updates, I am now thinking if I should sell my N300 and get this.
