Yamaha R3 - A perfect city bike?

I ride the the most controversial motorcycle and BIKE OF THE YEAR 2016 of India, the Yamaha YZF R3. This is completely my opinion and not a review as I had the bike for 3 days in the magnificent film city, Mumbai. This is just the city opinion and isn't the same for the track.
Thanks for watching. Do share if you liked ;)

Neatly reviewed Prathik. I loved it. But you didnt complete what you gonna say when compared with a Ninja 300. I was keenly looking for it and you got distracted with the ABS :D

[@atharvaachrekar8056]

Yeah I would also like to know your point of you for ninja 300

[@TheEverydayIndia]

N300 is any day better than R3. In all perspectives

[@TheEverydayIndia]

I wish I could bro but don't have any of the bikes. Rode the Ninja 300 about a year ago

[@AliZurix]

+The Everyday India is the ninja 300 better in terms of fuel economy? thanks a lot.

[@iamstrell]

Ali, Both bikes gives almost same mileage. But N300 is more fun man. And when you swing your leg over any of these two, we never think of mileage. You will twist your throttle again again and again. Fun fun fun :D

[@vigilante_stark]

The start of the video. LOVED IT. How it escalated and you revved the bike.....gave me chills man !!!

[@riderdhanush261]

20k subscribers awesome and I loved the way you showed the r3 in the beginning of the video (amazing photography)nice video

[@jorgehq3181]

I dont get why its controversial? Its a small-medium bike for the city and some short highway, here in mexico city serves me very well Its very small so i can get in the middle of the traffic and has very speedy response to overtake maybe too much because in a matter of seconds you can get to 120km/h and then you have to stop the thing in a very short distance with out ABS (here in MX we dont get the ABS version). Its also very very light and with a slipon the sound get better. The sit position is very comfortable. For street riding is the perfect sports bike for everyday for the highway you maybe short in CC u can stay in the 100-160kmh range but above that the bike will be forced a lot if you keep that speed for a long period.

[@champrockz78]

very nice information bhai in detail. bike looks impressive. hope they bring MT-03 as I am done with faired ones!

[@VictoriousVikram]

that was a nice one! & looked honest :D.......the scream at high rpm is lovely!😍

[@jestercohort7348]

the R3 is made to rev

[@goldis2484]

part where i enjoyed most.... KTM NA CHALEGI BHAI,,, MAR JAEGI NA CHALEGI.... that was a true Indian feeling filled review lines

[@balarajucs]

Welcome back dear TEI, thanks for the video.

[@m.rraghav817]

killer review bro, and yeah disappointment in the abs, would be nice if they offered it as a option and ninja 300 is a good 50-60k more exp than the r3. And finally someone whos made a fair comparison with the rc390, kudos .

[@craftwanderer8802]

Isn't abs good? i see alot of people hating abs? why is that?

[@BengaluruRider]

that W's very long and honest review which is made from multiple days.... waiting for London videos specially RJ spotted one!

[@dheeeraj0136]

Loved Ur review bro, i own an rtr 180 dreaming for an upgrade can i go for a mojo or should i start saving for an R3 ? My priority is touring comfort and maintenance cost.

[@KrishnaSharma-zv9uu]

Your editing style is like the R1Concept guys. I like it 😀

[@mohammednawaz7748]

stopped watching review due to many ads

[@AlizingEstigoy]

Awsome bike my friend good choice👍🏽i have one of this as well but its red color im from philippines 🇵🇭 this bike is a eye catching😁👌🏼

[@shreygehlot1570]

i own r3. i accept that abs and the tyres are the only disadvantage

[@TuticorinBillboard]

How much mileage u get in city bro

[@shreygehlot1570]

23.5 kmpl

[@TuticorinBillboard]

Thank you...mate...any suggestions before I buy this bike

[@shreygehlot1570]

Wait till November. Ull get the ABS version. It's not necessary. All the best bro👍

[@sushantpatil1203]

And now both disadvantages removed in 2018 model. But is it worth 4 lakh or apache would be a better value for money ??

[@dr.sachingarg5887]

[@queefmicester1189]

...damn dude, have some self-respect. Are you gay?

[@rasputin4u1]

Very good..fairly balanced and useful review of the Yamaha R3 ..(Bike of the Year 2016)

[@colombianguy8194]

Thank you for the video! Definetly i'm going to buy one (saving money), the road conditions in India are practically the same as here in Colombia, and the R3 handles very well as you show in the video. I was a liltte worried about low end torque but climbing that hill with a passenger erases all my doubts. It's the perfect bike for my needs, the best bike in 300 class by far.

[@NinjaThug]

Nice review! Tell me one thing - the rear wheel spins only when you're in 1st gear right?

[@ambikaashetty7622]

prateek if u had an option of buying a ninja300, r3 or rc390 which one would you go for?

[@jothibalamurugan6445]

he will go for ninja for sure

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Murugan understands me!

[@jothibalamurugan6445]

The Everyday India :D

[@ambikaashetty7622]

+The Everyday India reply PRATEEK !ndia wants to know! we cant understand you coz RC is ua wife, R3 is ua girlfriend n NINJA is ua crush!

[@atharvapokharkar8460]

Its Vashi Navi Mumbai in Starting of this Video ! Awesome Vido Everyday India :)

[@kimile54]

Thank you everyday India, I will buy this R-3 when I settle in Vietnam next year, It is a good bike for crowded city and bad highway

[@ayayaya3690]

This channel is such a throwback

[@Taitea_____]

Should i get a duke 390 2018 version or the r3 2018?? Ill be doing weekend rides and not ride too frequently. Help mr everyday india

[@ajithk4305]

Nice review, in fact comparison with ninja 300 would have been better. regarding tyres, why the MRF Zapper acts like this? sometimes it gives a good grip sometimes slips, I really don't get it.

[@TheEverydayIndia]

These tyres are same as on the R15. It's perfect for that but not for something more powerful.

[@zhack3d]

There is one used Yamaha R3 2017(as good as new 1200kms) for sale at the price of a new Duke 390! I love both the bikes (R3 a bit more) Which bike should I go for?

[@adwaitb765]

One thing that frustrates me about the R3 in the city is the lack of grunt down low in typical city conditions and thus increased fuel consumption. The R3 is an awkward combination of a city bike that has an engine ideal for track.

[@Shubham.Kochhar]

I agree, they should have made it like d R15.. then it would be called true R series bike, just like d R1, R6, R15, R125.. with Deltabox chassis, front inclined riding posture, stiffer suspension, longer aluminum swingarm nd definately better tyres (radial ones) (even R15 has radial rear tyre)

[@siran424]

+Shubham Kochhar No. We actually need some good looking faired bikes that are good in city traffic and for daily commutes. So far only naked bikes and tourers serve that purpose. Just change the name from R3 to something else, if you have a problem with it being called the R series.

[@paliofan]

Nice practical review! Thanks buddy. How does R3 perform compared to Ninja 300?

[@DarkKnight-sy6ip]

paliofan the r3 is way better

[@ragn786]

bro which is the best bike under 5 lakh I will be buying it in the year end plz consider all the upcoming bikes as well

[@samgeorgebush9216]

Is there having any aftermarket exhaust for R3 that sounds like R1 or R6? since I couldn't found any video except Arrow pro exhaust which was the only video on KZbin that sounds more like R1 or R6 but that too I'm confused whether it's R3 or R6 since the guy didn't showed the whole bike

[@TheRockrules7]

alright pls tell the conclusion... if a person doesnt go for touring like u nd ride bikes only in streets for less than 50km... which one is good for indian roadd acording to u.. Rc390 or r3? or kawasaki ninja 300. order in sequence of 1 2 3 of wich is the best pls reply its imp. _/\_

[@elviodabreo3032]

R3 vs benelli 302r which bike i should go for .... sound should b good like sports bike😎

[@danielraj8432]

compare to ninja, rc390and r3 which is best for tour and long drive

[@rahulgosh1]

- Yamaha R3 can be used for track, a few mods to the pegs, better tyres nd voila. I have a RC390 nd for the track a parallel twin will always be preferable as per my choice. Can't wait to get mine soon.

[@AmjadAliSyd]

I like Yamaha and Kawasaki too I felt you have the same impression of these bikes like me by the video ...nice video

[@akhilnair1888]

Is rc390 good for 25 daily run in cities, wht about the low end torque since it is having about 35 nm!?

[@hrishikeshpatil6962]

Thanks for putting this up. Helped me inch towards my decision of getting it a wee bit more. I'd just like to ask if she has any uncomfortable vibes at any rpm.

[@krishnayashas8360]

+Shreyas Shivdikar how much of miles do you get.

[@krishnayashas8360]

+Shreyas Shivdikar thank you.I am from Bangalore.I've only come across 1 showroom which has it.you've had any issues with it?

[@krishnayashas8360]

+Krishna yashas how's the stock headlight.with everyone in India using high beams

[@hrishikeshpatil6962]

Shreyas Shivdikar Thanks man!

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Headlights are awesome!!

[@nishant115]

what about the initial acceleration bro as compared to rc390..planning to buy r3 ..

[@BULLETDIARIES]

Sir 20k subs k liye shubkamanaayen... Nice review sir liked it... Keep it coming.. Feet Mumbiker Nikhil means fun...

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

Finally some peace and quiet from the Yamaha fan boys. The recent issues with the motorcycle have shut em up pretty good. Man! The hype they made after hearing that Yamaha was launching the R3 and now seeing them eat their words, its just hilarious. EDIT: There's a lot of weight on the front of the RC? Umm..no offense but do you even bike? The RC was the easiest bike to shift weight, next to a bicycle. Perhaps you had a low tyre pressure up front?

[@siran424]

+Kevin Arnold Issues ?? There are no issues. It is a highly reliable bike unlike the KTm's who often vibrate, breakdown and feel like made of plastic.

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

Siran424 Why don't you look up about the recent worldwide recall of the R3. Engine oil pump failure, clutch pressure plate failure, brake failure. IMO, thats a *TOTAL FAILURE*. *"... feel like made of plastic."* Not sure if thats a complement because the bike does feel soo light and nimble. But if thats not what you meant then I should perhaps point out to you that these are "BUDGET" bikes and at least KTM have got the design right. Aggressive and sharp. The R3 looks like a copy of the RS200 (not that I've got any complaints about it but for that price it'd be better to buy the CS or SS 400 which is on par with the performance of the R3 and much much cheaper!) and a Ducati899(front head light portion only) And at least none of that (recalls) has ever happened to ANY of the recent Indian motorcycles(200NS and so on) About vibrations; You mean to say that the R3 doesn't vibrate one bit??? Thats one heck of an overstatement to say the least but you should probably go to one of the local dealers and get a test ride. The thing vibrates just as much as the KTM, BUT, its subtle. Just like the KTM. You jumped on the "thumper = vibrating + unreliable engine" bandwagon. For a single cylinder the KTM produces shockingly low vibrations. And if you cant' manage these vibrations then perhaps you should get an inline 4 engine motorcycle or not ride at all.

[@siran424]

+Kevin Arnold Sorry for the late response. But yes I have got an inline 3 engine bike. But I am looking to buy the R3 for city commutes. None of the bikes you mentioned like the CS 400 come anywhere close to the R3 in terms of performance. Besides the build quality of the R3 is the best in it's segment. And it is also the second lightest bike in it's segment without feeling like it is made of cheap plastic. As for as vibration, KTM vibrates a lot more than the Yamaha. After 150 KTM's feel like it's engine might blow up. P. S: Money isn't a factor for me. And Yamaha is the best there is. Eagerly waiting for the R6.

[@siran424]

+Kevin Arnold Also the R3 doesn't heat up like the RC 390 or the Hyosung in the city traffic at low speeds.

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

Siran424 you sure? Cuz the last time I checked, the RC had no such issues. Further more, the R3 has two cylinders which means more moving parts which means more heat

[@unnamed8499]

ready with popcorn and coca cola...love it. 😍

[@AnilKumar-fv2kz]

But now in 2018 I think it is a perfect bike because of addition of ABS and BS iv compliance. Please do a review on that.

[@dannytamang9704]

help me bro agressive looks 390 spoty position and r3 comfort and brand which one sud i go brothers?

[@Observer250]

Dude , cinematics is on point 👌

[@mehulpatel3017]

I need a new bike for my college and sometimes for travel so I think I should buy this one I have R15 but while riding that one theirs a pain in my hands and back ..... wich really sucks... so what would u prefer for me ..??

[@ronakronak9831]

[@CanecaProductions]

You still record with the SJCAM or you upgraded to a GoPro?

[@Praveenkumar-cp2cb]

quality video.! loved it! We want more reviews

[@TheEverydayIndia]

You have Motorbeam and PD guys for that :p professionals

[@jitinvarghesephilip2065]

Can you add ABS to R3 after buying it? If yes, how much will it cost?

[@Fantashticgamer98]

No u can't.

[@mohitsr]

Easily 50k+

[@jestercohort7348]

they come standard with ABS in Aussie ..and cost $6500 ride away

[@vijaykalla]

Hey Bro, Spot on review man. I have one question to you, you highlighted many things in the video and even compared with your 390 to some features, do you thing R3 is worth buying I mean from the price point? And if you could review, can you review TNT 300 if possible any time and compare the experience with R3 you had? Cheers mate! I have to subscribe to your channel. Have fun Vlogging man

[@TheEverydayIndia]

I will try with the tnt If I were you, I'd wait for the ABS upgrade

[@vijaykalla]

Hmm point taken. ABS is a must for our roads man. I love touring and got amazed by TNT once but when R3 came I got confused. I am living with my CBR 250R, amazing bike for touring and want to upgrade. So tossing coin between the bikes .

[@nareshuuu]

I am fine with d 3.7s lacs but 2 questions? whats the mileage ? Maintence costs?

[@angshumansarmah6626]

N N ride below 6k rpm and you'll get 25-27 around. Have some fun , high revs you get like around 20 or below that. Personally I'd go for the Ninja 300

[@anotherjacksparrow4480]

this is a great bike. the only thing that i don't like in this bike is the fairing model and rear plate holder.

[@SUYASHonagarioandmore]

Heat and vibes can't be reduced bro. Vibes may be a little depending on ur servicing and engine oil

[@leohamlynblessing]

Can I go at 130 km/h....is it legal ??

[@TheEverydayIndia]

No

[@leohamlynblessing]

Then sir....should 100 be my max speed even though I ride a 300cc ??

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Your max speed should be what's specified on the roads bro

[@trisha5379]

R3 vs rc390 which is more fun..........

[@vikneshsubramaniyan6639]

bro what were you saying about ninja ? I feel R3 is a great competitor for ninja.!

[@nawazmd21]

Which bike is better between Yamaha R3 and Ninja 300 ?

[@hirokjyotideka5571]

depends what you like. but theoretically ninja is better and the option to have ABS really helps in our chaotic traffic situation.

[@VighneshPandit-eo5cd]

heyy...long timee...nice to see u r videoss brother..miss uu😁

[@Albertjohnaugustine]

do you have any idea that whether the r3 is gonna have abs next year??

[@TheEverydayIndia]

No idea.

[@santhuguru]

Good quality video and very straight.

[@TejasDeshpandee]

+The Everyday India what would you suggest? Pulsar220 V/s Yamaha R15v2.0 v/s Pulsar Rs200,

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Yamaha

[@TejasDeshpandee]

+The Everyday India Thank you ! 😁

[@zaifanadi67]

ktm has really spoiled everyother bike for me in this segment , nothing even comes close to it , especially the new duke 390

[@vernonwilliams9443]

But the engine isn't as refine as a yamaha or a honda

[@chocofungamer5556]

Engine not refined High maintainance needed

[@abealno5279]

I live in NYC will this bike be good our it’s only good for racing?

[@TheEverydayIndia]

No no..it's a sport tourer. Very good in city as well

[@Sir_Allwyn]

Does it have the headlight on/off switch?

[@keisuketakahashi8194]

I like the R3 mainly for it's looks, and great affordability, it's only $5000 CAD and it has a lot of power for a bike that cheap.

[@sanmaan13]

you didn't mention anything regarding the engine refinement. any take on that? as compared to the RC or others.

[@ambikaashetty7622]

+Shreyas Shivdikar but still as not as much as the NINJA300

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Engine is super refined. Negligible vibes. If KTM is 80 then Yamaha is 10

[@sanmaan13]

+The Everyday India now I'm super confused. the yamaha engine is a fantastic one while the ktm offers a lot more equipment as compared. I really think for Mumbai, R3 is a much much better option!

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Test ride both bikes thoroughly. Plus ABS is always a benefit

[@sanmaan13]

+The Everyday India Yes. thanks mate!

[@thakurgruhaansingh622]

hey bro iam planning to buy rc200 and my hight is 5.7" .. so will it b comfortable to ride as per my hight? i will be commuting to college.. plz reply

[@dgxcena007]

no it won't be r15 is better or any other option you can try

[@TheEverydayIndia]

I don't think so

[@thakurgruhaansingh622]

Thanks :) will go for rs200 then

[@hemantkumarmeena6341]

how is r15 s worth to buy ??? or any chance for new update model of r15

[@TheEverydayIndia]

It's good. Upgrade might come by next year

[@sounakmallik8035]

bro is there any possibility of launching yzf 125r in India??

[@abhiverma9294]

probably not ., it would be too expensive for little power .

[@sounakmallik8035]

why?? I mean it cannot be as expensive as r15 I guess!!

[@abhiverma9294]

Sounak Mallik​You would think that but probably no one is gonna shell out 100k rupees for a 13 bhp bike. Lol

[@sounakmallik8035]

hmm...

[@TheEverydayIndia]

It's more expensive. The quality components on it are way high. If i'm not wrong i guess it's got brembos and NOT BYBRE. so u can guess how good it might be

[@sohebmulla90]

hey ty for ur review its help me to buy R3

[@pavanmasurkar]

RC 390 is good or YZF R3?

[@abhilash941]

can you upload a review video of benelli tnt 300 in comparison with R3

[@abhilash941]

just like this video, everything , every details i am asking if possible

[@ajmomoho]

Is that a front license plate I see on your motorcycle? Is that a legal thing you need in India?

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Yes

[@kinshuk.05]

Nice Video everyday india Loved it !!!#

[@revzzrider]

90% chances my next bike will be YZF-R3 things I will do after getting her 1. Remove and throw the saree guard anywhere in the garage or sell it to bhangar wala . 2. I will flip the clipons left to right n viceversa to make it lower set ( with 2 drills ) 3. will order rear sets 4. pirellis dont make huge diff. ( told by one of frnd ) will see about it..

[@TheEverydayIndia]

Pirelli's make a HUGE difference! They're very sticky
