Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Yamaha R3
- Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
- Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
- Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
- Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike
Royal Enfield Classic 650
- Looks Classic! It's a charming looking motorcycle with a lot of muscle and presence.
- The engine is refined and offers effortless acceleration.
- The bike feels relaxed cruising at 100-120kmph on the highway.

Yamaha R3
- Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
- No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
- A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
- The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri
Royal Enfield Classic 650
- At 243Kg - it's a heavy motorcycle and moving it around in the parking lot is difficult.
- The suspension setup is more focused on stability, and hence comfort is not ideal for broken roads.
- There are vibrations from the engine when pushed hard can be felt on the fuel tank and foot pegs.

Yamaha R3 a great bike.
Yamaha R3 is a great bike, offer smooth performance and stylish design. It's 321 engine delivers great power, While comfort and breaking are impressive. It's a top choice for sports bike lovers. The aggressive styling and build quality make it stand out, while the upright sitting position provides a comfortable riding experience, even on longer rides. I think it's a great bike for all bike lovers.

It was an memorable thing
It was an memorable thing that happened in my life were my Dad presented me a bike on my birthday. And the bike was my one of the dream bike to buy in my life. The dual led headlights and sculpted fuel tank give it a premium, aggressive look. Fuel efficiency is around 40-45 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.

Looks Promising
Design is very similar to traditional classic with strong engine capability, waiting for real speed and performance once launched. This bike will be powerful on off road. Since GT 650 is already there in so it will be exciting to see how this classic 650 will perform in compare to GT 650 and How the bike experts will like it.
