Yamaha R3 - FINALLY!

[MG-242]

Finally, Yamaha introduces their new small displacement sport bike that should compete well with the CBR300 and Ninja 300. Maybe not quite introduced, but at least a teaser with CEII. This will most likely be our next addition to the garage. 320cc, parallel twin.

Haha, funny video. Wonder how it will be priced. Competition for the Ninja 300 I would guess? Looks better than the Ninja.

Yep, targeting the little Ninja, Honda, and the new KTM. Although they're giving up some displacement to the KTM RC390.

I haven't seen anything related to pricing yet, but I'm sure it will be in the ballpark with the Honda and Kawi. The KTM is already slated to be a good bit higher.

MSRP is 5k. Looking forward to test-riding it in March :thumbup:

Yep, it and the KTM RC390. Both should be fun little bikes that you can really wring out. They could be game changers in the small displacement classes.

A nice description:

10,750 rpm redline minimum. Nice.

Looks like MSRP is around $4,500
