Yamaha R3 Is Back! Finally a worthy upgrade to the R15!

Join me as I share a personal story that many motorcycle enthusiasts can relate to. From my humble beginnings with the R15 back in 2008 to the heartbreak when the R3 was discontinued, this journey is a testament to the emotional connection we share with our two-wheeled companions. In this video, we're not reviewing the new R3 but also celebrating the revival of a dream many thought was lost. Yamaha R3 is back, and this time, it's not alone-its cousin is along for the ride!

[@Ruchir1712]

As an R15 fan boy, I hate to say this but Yamaha has a really really uphill battle when it comes to this motorcycle. Definitely a tough sell at CBU pricing.

[@sauvagyananda1]

This bike will be dead on arrival…no features no road presence…the least yamaha could have done is addition of slipper assist clutch….since there are many options in the market it will not sell well and yamaha will discontinue it saying sales are not great…..good luck u bloody yamaha playing with enthusiasts emotions

[@hiteshadhikari]

*Yamaha treats india as a 3rd class market where they sell outdated products at high prices and indians deserve it because they buy their stupid bikes because YAMAHA & Japanese refinement bullshit*

[@rahulpatnaikj]

Still better than honda

[@vipinkumar-rn2op]

It can't compete with arilia Rs 457

[@amitkanade1983]

R3 fanboys would beg to disagree 😂😂

[@safwanjmuhammed6816]

U don't deserve yamaha

[@akshayml5313]

Many years ago when RX series and RD 350 series launched but many of us don't like high pricing now every one wants RX &RD but difficult to get a good one. One day maybe in the future everything will be electric and we will mis these petroHeads 🥺 and tell our kids about thease bikes ❤

[@TripGuru]

Finally a well sounded reviewer like Jehan Bhai.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

That is high praise! Shukriya.

[@Fliarze]

Agreed 👍🏽

[@joel9274]

4-5 lacs? I think it is better to pick duke 390 or aprillia rs457

[@mayilmuruganv8489]

Aprilla

[@nabeelkhan4878]

The biggest sell for the R3 is its riding dynamics. It will surely be tough for it in the market.

[@maverick2678]

Aprilia need to launch that baddie real soon.

[@user-qe2su6il6p]

It would be a miracle if the rs 457 runs more than 10 k km lol

[@lastdevil4983]

Exactly

[@dhananjaykansal8097]

Atleast accept. This is a stupid update. Not even an update. They giving inferior products to us. Pricing is and will be bad forever. Highly disappointed with R3. It's looking way to old and absolutely zero features kr whatever you may call. It's just bad.

[@HighwayToHill]

R3 will never be a mass motorcycle and that's a good thing. It is for a very niche set of bikers.

[@pareshkumar9096]

I love Mt ❤

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Awesome!

[@drphanindranathv6784]

Pure motorcycle giving pure motorcycle riding experience…. purely for pure motorcycle enthusiasts…. Lovely machine to live with….

[@amaluabms1916]

This bike going to be rest in peace at showroom 💯😔

[@Prodigy66]

No surprise to be honest, cus its design is outdate same mt03 too. If they want to launch, they to upgrade design and features.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

True, that would be helpful. But the R3 is a very sweet motorcycle to ride!

[@qwertyme8338]

best R3/MT03 review yet

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Shukriya!

[@SUMUPReview]

I always wanted a clean a clean bike like this with sportstourer sort of ergonomics perfect and practical❤

[@suvrosarkar4419]

You are a special kind of stupid if you buy this over the aprilla, ktm and the others

[@JH09SUMIT]

RS 457 isn't too sporty either

[@SUMUPReview]

@@JH09SUMIT i hope so

[@surjitss23]

more respect to aprilia rs457

[@camerongray9395]

Can't compare a 300 with a 450/60 very differant beast

[@mohammadali-wn6sb]

It’s dream bike for all bangladeshi's bike lover

[@rj504]

R3 Looks r15 😢 Mt03 is best

[@vamsiverma5006]

How is it a worthy upgrade when price is increased but did not get any good upgrades like slipper assist clutch, new facelift(looks like a r15 v4

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Purely from a riding experience man. Take a test ride as soon as you get an opportunity. We can't not fault it for the missing kit, but the riding experience just so good.

[@anoopgudipudi]

Well done Nabeel.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Shukriya!

[@EliteSkxll]

The review along with the cinematic shots was fun to watch. I have one question tho, will it be accompanied by a slipper clutch? As some of the other reviewers have been saying that it does come with it while others are denying it. I will be buying it regardless but I'm still curious.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

These bikes, in Thailand, did not come with a slipper clutch. And we are told that this is the spec we will get in India.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

And thank you for the compliment. Really appriciate this!

[@soundlist]

Is it possible to swap the old face by removing the current one

[@nabeelkhan4878]

I wish!

[@NalinKhurb]

R3 competes more with Ninja 300 in my opinion, rather than the 400 Kawasaki has really managed to keep the 300 prices in check, 4-4.5L will be almost 1L higher OTR. A tough sell but for the utmost fanatics

[@user-dz8ng8pm1l]

Aprilia is waiting for R3 price revel.

[@tanmay4703]

Mt03 and R3 is going to tough sell

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Indeed. But if you value the riding aspect of a motorcycle more than anything else, the R3 will be very tempting

[@Sandychocky5500]

@@nabeelkhan4878agreed ! 🤝 … in 2013 ninja 300 was 4 lakhs On-Road while Duke 390 was 2.12 lakhs…. Though N300 sold…. So I agree to the point that R3 would be a better dynamic motorcycle for enthusiasts

[@WheelsTV180]

They are trying to clear the old stock it will be discontinued as soon as the stock clears up & there will be owners with an outdated bikes and they will struggle for parts and service.

[@sanamdeepsingh6993]

Part availability isnt that bad. Ive never waited more than a week for spares of my 2016 R3

[@Originalrebelosho]

Nice review

[@sid.underarrest]

haters gonna hate but this is the best machine in its segment….not enough features but it’s engine🤩🤩🥰😘

[@nabeelkhan4878]

what an engine

[@classychandu5090]

Why does it look cheaper than the r15?

[@nabeelkhan4878]

In person, not really

[@randomacts9220]

These bandages have many holes to heal the pain

[@purplestreets14]

Hello Is there a VVA technology there in R3?

[@nabeelkhan4878]

No.

[@pixelv5449]

dude plz check your facts r3 2023 have sliper clutch

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Not these motorcycles.

[@pixelv5449]

​​@@nabeelkhan4878bro that just means yamaha is clearing its old stock of last year (2022) otherwise there are full article on autocar ,bikewale ,onedrive offical site about 2023 r3 having slipper clutch

[@yamahar15club]

With this price it will be a big challenge for Yamaha to sell R3 in India until you want to buy just like that money laying around. We would rather recommend wait for the new version of R3 with similar features like the R15 V4M.

[@ajithjames.]

Compare to aprilia rs 457 r3 look not good

[@aravindbnr]

was it varun painter the other rider , the helmet seemed familiar

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Yes! Great spot.

[@lorddBobby]

Design toh outdated tha hi atleast tech r15m ke saath same de dete.. both tech and design reminds ppl of r15 v3 lol😂 also it's an import unit Edit: benefits include more comfortable riding position and low seat height..also design of old r3 was miles better

[@mohammadali-wn6sb]

When'll it launch in India?

[@nabeelkhan4878]

December mid

[@mohammadali-wn6sb]

@@nabeelkhan4878 thnx bro

[@basicknowledge2053]

Despite of CBU unit with higher price tag.. still Ninja 400 is way better and sexy looking bike

[@BLUEGODGAMINGYT]

वwhen it comes to KTM 390 Rivalry, i was expecting a bit more torque and horse power. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

[@SVSK]

Is yamaha shutting down company ?

[@AkashDas-wh1sk]

I don't think it's sell good in the market maybe it's going to be disastrous 😂😂

[@angshumansarmah6626]

No slip and assist clutch ????????? I dont mind about quick shifter.....but why no slip n assist clutch......!!!!! Dhuiiii!!!! This is nonsense.

[@wargolemx102]

It's a reskinned R3 V1, came before the R15 V3, which blows it out the water with the tech it has. Insane.

[@saikatbose8370]

The huge delayed launch will be a bad thing when it comes to the sale. Am selling my R 3 for only 2lakh. It's a new and with less then 5000 km

[@kirandayalan8748]

Can u share ur contact details?

[@meizunote5113]

Engine- great Looks- meh Price- wtf?

[@sanjithansdah9049]

Hindi mai review karne wale KZbinrs so rahe hai kya ...ek bhi vedio hindi mai nahi aya

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Aayga bhai. Mid-Decembe me.

[@JH09SUMIT]

Did they learn nothing from their previous launch? Why the hell would they launch it as a CBU? as if they don't even want to compete in the Indian market. A blunder like this is really unexpected from a brand like Yamaha.. that too twice. Are they not seeing what the RC390 and Aprilia RS457 are offering?

[@dileepaditya8570]

Now, I am really understanding why Yamaha is reluctant to release the bikes. Our market is filled with senseless people who want bikes with bluetooth instrument cluster, quick shifter etc. What they dont see is hows the engine and the basics. Did I forget to mention quality, fit and finish and reliability. That's why RC390 is much appreciated than R3 or Ninja 300!

[@MAX-xw8xq]

Problem is not of people being senseless; it's Yamaha's carelessness by not giving importance to its product, quick shifter and traction control are not frills, they are necessary for a bike capable of doing 190 kmph. Do you work for Yamaha?

[@dileepaditya8570]

@@MAX-xw8xq I agree but its a 40PS bike so traction control is really not needed. Trust me. And second of all, quick shifter is a good to have feature and thanks to KTM it has become necessary. My point is you can have a bike without features but not without proper basics.

[@SuperImbadude]

This is stock clearance sale.

[@user-qe2su6il6p]

​@@MAX-xw8xq bruh traction control isn't necessary for a 190kmph bike anything under 400 -450 twin jus need a sliper clutch and dual channel and , + quick shifter really ruins the fun on bike

[@shenanigans4177]

​@@MAX-xw8xq Tbh, TC is unnecessary on anything under 60 PS. The most important bits are slip and assist clutch, adjustable levers, multiple throttle map/ riding mode, cornering ABS ( if you ever ride in the hills, you'd know why ), some amount of adjustability in the suspension and TPMS. The console is not really important to me as you hardly stare at it.

[@mudduansari]

Yzf R3❤

[@rishabhsinha951]

Yamaha is lacking the understanding of level of competition in the segment

All locations in Thailand 😅 Not in ind

[@nabeelkhan4878]

It was a Thailand ride

[@hillriderhp17]

Price should be around 3lakh otherwise it will again fail in india…bcz there are many option to buy at this price or above..so yamaha should keep in mind that price also matters in india..

[@angshumansarmah6626]

Yamaha thinks India is a dustbin or a dumping ground.

[@ashfaakashu194]

Old r3 is way better looking than this and every guy can make r15 to r3 coz both looks same

[@nabeelkhan4878]

In person, the the R3 looks bigger

[@i_am_samar]

This is way outdated motorcycle. I don’t why presenter/ anchor is so much excited about R3, looks like he has not ridden duke 390, RC390 or Speed 400.I don’t know what does he smoke.

[@nabeelkhan4878]

Aap ek baar chalao. You will understand.

[@i_am_samar]

@@nabeelkhan4878 clutch is too hard for today standards .. zero electronic bhai … mechanical wise bike is good. But when u C other motorcycles in same segment it’s light years ahead

[@nabeelkhan4878]

@i_am_samar i agree that there is a big feature deficit and that it will hurt sales. And if that is a deal breaker for you, that is absolutely fine as well. What i am saying is that the R3, while riding it, makes you forget about the features. Yes, it is that good. And the clutch is not heavy. We rode it for around 700kms and did not feel that at all. We want different things from our motorcycles, and that is the beauty of the culture. Good thing is that we have a market that has offerings for us both.

[@bikewithrk]

Bad decision, downfall aane wala yamaha ka har segment me overpriced hai no dought best machine par budget bhi matter krta hai R3 ke lie bohot excited tha booking karane wala tha but sirf power matter nhi krta thoda features chahiye. R15 best R3 se atleast price ke hisab se features to deta hai
