Yamaha's celebrated entry into R World, the YZF-R3 is powered by a high-revving 321cc engine with an emphasis on lightweight, nimble handling and real-world practicality.
A perfect choice for everyone from beginning riders to experienced track day enthusiasts, the YZF-R3 strikes the right balance of thrilling supersport performance and everyday comfort in a fun, sporty package that shows off its distinctive R-Series pedigree from every angle.
The assist & slipper clutch utilises an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever increasing wrist comfort.
An LCD instrument cluster displays connected smartphone information along with vital vehicle data. There is also a USB-A socket located next to the display providing convenient power for phone charging or heated gear.
A narrow seat and slim side covers improve the rider's foot reach to the ground while retaining the YZF-R3's relaxed riding position.
Advanced LED lighting adds a more modern look, including a single projector-type headlight flanked by aggressive four-element position lights, along with LED tail lights and turn signals.
The YZF-R3 features an inverted fork with optimised spring and damping settings, significantly improving fork rigidity, front-end feedback and control. The design also includes a YZR-M1-inspired top clamp for authentic Supersport style.
Yamaha's 321cc liquid-cooled, inline two-cylinder engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range. With a 180-degree crank design and integrated counterbalancer, the layout minimises vibrations for a smooth, refined engine character.
