Yamaha R3: Specifications and Features

To its dealers in India, the Japanese company displayed the R3, MT-03, R7, MT-07, MT-09, and R1M. The R3 is the most well-liked and well-received bike among them that was formerly offered for sale in India. As one of the most anticipated new models, it has undergone a number of adjustments since it was previously offered for sale here.

Yamaha R3 Engine compared to its rivals

The R3 ranks pretty highly in terms of power and is one of two twin-cylinder bikes in our comparison. Although it is almost as powerful as the single-cylinder KTM RC 390, the bigger Kawasaki Ninja 400 is slightly more potent. Yet, both of those bikes have a sizable torque advantage over the small Yamaha, which generates power at high revs. The Yammie's 321cc twin is the most peaky of the bunch, producing peak readings that are higher in the rpm range than those of any other bike. The smallest displacement in this group is found in the single-cylinder TVS Apache RR310, which is evident in its output numbers.

Yamaha R3 Weight & Dimensions

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is not only the heaviest bike in this group, but it also has the highest power and joint torque. Although having the same 14 litres of fuel, it manages to weigh 1 kg less than the R3. The Apache is the heaviest of the group despite having the lightest fuel load, coming in at 172 kg with its 13.7 litre tank filled, followed by the KTM RC 390. It has a strong 180mm ground clearance figure to handle uneven roads.

Final Words

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 clearly outperforms the majority of the other bikes in this comparison.  It costs over Rs 2 lakh more than the very capable and adaptable KTM RC 390, and that premium is extremely tough to justify. The Yamaha will cost more than the KTM at a projected ex-showroom price of a little over Rs 3.5 lakh, but the premium will be considerably more tolerable. And it ought to prove to be a fascinating rival to the RC 390 if you're looking for the comfort of a twin-cylinder ride and the security that comes with the Yamaha name.
