Delhi : Yamaha, the renowned motorcycle manufacturer, has set the wheels in motion for the much-anticipated launch of its R3 and MT-03 models in India. The excitement is as Yamaha notifies its Blue Square dealerships about the upcoming releases, confirming that these bikes will hit the Indian roads in the middle of December 2023.

Online Booking for Yamaha Enthusiasts

In a digital-savvy move, Yamaha has chosen to facilitate the booking process through its online platform. Prospective buyers can secure their Yamaha R3 and MT-03 by making online bookings on the official Yamaha India website. The dealer list eligible for online reservations is slated to be finalized by November 30, ensuring a smooth and efficient booking experience.

Yamaha R3: A Cut Above the Rest

The Yamaha R3, positioned as a fully faired bike, is set to carve a niche for itself above the YZF R15 in Yamaha's impressive lineup. Boasting a powerful 321cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, the R3 delivers a commanding 42 BHP and 29.5 Nm of torque. This places the R3 as a formidable contender in the mid-range sports bike segment.

MT-03: Unleashing the Naked Power

Complementing its fully faired sibling, the Yamaha MT-03 takes the stage as the naked version of the R3. Sharing the same robust 321cc engine, the MT-03 is expected to deliver an exhilarating riding experience. Positioned to compete with the KTM Duke 390, the MT-03 embodies Yamaha's commitment to offering diverse options to cater to different rider preferences.

Yamaha debuted a new line of large motorcycles in India in April of this year. The lineup consisted of the R7, R1M, MT-07, and MT-09 in addition to the R3 and MT-03.
