Yamaha re-introduced its popular mid-size sports tourer bike R3 in India last year-end. The new R3 is sold via the CBU route in India and it is priced at Rs 4.65 lakh (ex-showroom). With such a steep and premium positioning in its segment, can the R3 become your suitable touring machine if you wish to explore new geography along with performance? Well, this is what we've tested in our 800+ km touring review of the R3. We rode the bike from Delhi to Kasar Devi, Uttarakhand; and back, to know the in-depth details about its performance, comfort, fuel economy, headlight performance and much more.

8:40 nothing is wrong with switchgear 😂 Also, nobody uses horn outside India especially in Western countries. It's very rare. And exactly same model is sold in America also. Indians are not getting an "outdated" model.

​@@justathinker8669good i like r3

[@justathinker8669]

@@DCP_CHITROLE_CID I think for India it's good but high price. For western world, it's not powerful enough and heavy/stable for highway speed of 120kmph+ After 2000km riding I can say that lack of slipper clutch is not relevant. And I hardly look at instruments. I look at the road ahead 😂 If you want color TFT, sit at home and watch Netflix on your 80 inch TV...

@@justathinker8669 why not powerful it goes 180 plus this is enough, in India Village area and town can't drive above 60, if you drive tumhari maut pakka samjho

Fz 25, So for today i have ridden 105000 kms, just got my last service done yesterday Sunday May the 12th and i can share u this, no Major Mechnical replacements apart from some minor consumables like clutch wire, brake wire, brake pads, that is it. U can never go Wrong with Yamaha, yes i am booking YZF R3 next month (June). Yamaha makes you fall in Love❤.

[@manishsinghrathore1]

i have 2017 dec R3. never had any issue. only once my ignition coil failed and that too because of my piggy back ECU. and as far as the switches on the handlebars are concerned, 2017 model has the switch that you desire to have in the new model. so better order it from Yamaha service centre. They will get you. yes regarding the light, Yamaha always has very average throw. one must buy an after market light. Well these are performance bikes and it has so much scope to improve. i have invested around 2.5 lacs on R3 for performance upgrade and it feels just beautiful. Among the machines i have, It will always be my fav one. i wish if i had more years to ride it. M 46 and rediscovered my riding hobby just a few years back.

Such a good review😊

[@ravishekhar2629]

7K RPM k baad thoda sa darata h ye bike.

[@justathinker8669]

9:30 yes it doesn't have slipper clutch. You need to learn how to ride a bike and use those skills 😂 And also get used to this particular bike. Give it a 500 kms before you try anything stupid. If you don't know what you're doing, downshift can kill you!

[@justathinker8669]

After riding 2000km I can say that lack of slipper clutch is not relevant. Just give some time to get used to the bike. Then you will learn how to downshift at high speed but keep rpms high and then twist it to overtake.

Sports Tourer achi pillion seat ke saath kyun nahi banati companies... really miss Honda CBR 300R in India..god knows why Honda not launching this CBR series..

Sports tourer nahin hai. Sirf sports bike hai.

[@justathinker8669]

2:04 you cut the centre line and veer off into the wrong lane during the turn!

[@justathinker8669]

It's a sports bike, not a sports touring bike.

[@brahmastheticfilms11]

It is a sports tourer

[@justathinker8669]

@@brahmastheticfilms11 FJR and Tracer are the touring models. R series are sports bikes. R3 riding position is not as aggressive as R6/R7 or R1. So you can ride longer on it but it doesn't really have proper luggage or passenger seating for touring.

[@CarbonRP]

1st gen R3 was more touring friendly. 2nd gen R3 is more sporty/track ready, but is still a sports tourer. You're right and wrong at the same time.

[@justathinker8669]

@@CarbonRP dude, I own the bike 😂 1)It gets blown about by the wind. Need heavier bike for touring 2) needs more power on highways. Yeah it can touch 170 kmph at 11,000 rpm but believe me you don't want to be riding fast on it for more than a short time 😂 3) doesn't have proper luggage for touring 4) passenger/pillion? forget about it... In fact it's good around the city or you can take it to race track to conquer the curves. Super easy to lean it!

[@justathinker8669]

After 2000km riding, I can say that it's awesome in curves. I am not an expert rider but even I was doing curves at 100kmph! 😂 (Curves, not reverse bends) Lack of slipper clutch is not relevant. Get used to it. Learn how to operate this machine. You can downshift from 6th to 5th at 70-80kmph (but keep rpms high) and then twist to accelerate to 120kmph in 5th to overtake. It's underpowered for highway. If you are already at 100-120 and then you need to speed up even more to overtake or get out of some situation , it won't accelerate fast. It can reach top speed of 170kmph also but it's a slow process.

Drag race karo

[@shrinathbhistannavar2729]

nice .... but very over priced ....

[@shotoniphonephotography]

Most common problems in yamha bikes Every year need to be change ECU unit ( Engine control unit ) which costs minimum 10k no warranty on parts which is not affordable

[@mightyhuman5518]

This completely fake comment i have used FZ, r15 and MT ….till now I didn’t face any major engine issues, the FZ was rode around 60k kms still no problem

[@CarbonRP]

Nah, none of the R3's in India or even globally have faced any such ECU related issue. RR unit tends to have issues which is a relatively cheap part (5-6k) and that only happens when external accessories are installed incorrectly.
