Yamaha Motor India will be launching the updated YZF-R3 in December 2023. Here are five things you need to know about it.
The R3 is powered by a 321 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin DOHC engine. The motor is capable of churning out 41.4 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 29.5 Nm at 9,000 rpm, while mated to a slick 6-speed gearbox.
Visually, the R3 now gets a faux air intake in the centre, accompanied by the split-type headlamps that are now LED. The tail section remains largely the same with a split-seat design and LED tail lamp.
The motorcycle gets an inverted fork setup up front and a 7-step adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 298 mm single disc at the front and a 220 mm single disc at the rear.
The new R3 features all-digital instrumentation, clip-ons with new switchgear, a 14-litre fuel tank and a tinted windscreen.
We expect the new R3 to be priced in the ballpark of ₹ 3.5 lakh to ₹ 3.8 lakh (ex-showroom).
