                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons

                • Yamaha MT-03

                  • Engine performance is flexible enough to allow for slow city commutes and fast highway rides
                  • Great handling - feels light, changes direction quickly and feels stable when leaned too
                  • Design - the LED headlight looks aggressive and the MT-03 has that overall feel of a sporty and compact streetfighter

                  Yamaha YZF-R2

                  • Strong, exciting top-end performance and engaging engine character
                  • More comfortable ergonomics than the R15 for everyday riding
                  • Premium design, build quality and impressive electronics package
                  • Light, confidence-inspiring handling with capable cornering dynamics

                • Yamaha MT-03

                  • Cramped seat - no space for taller or larger riders to move around
                  • Firm suspension - suspension kicks back when ridden over really bad roads and even the slightly bad roads aren’t absorbed all that well
                  • Lack of features - ABS and a basic fully-digital console is all that it has. Misses out on a slip-and-assist clutch, quickshifter, traction control and even Bluetooth connectivity - things that its competition have
                  • Extremely expensive price tag

                  Yamaha YZF-R2

                  • Engine feels flat below 6,000rpm, requiring frequent downshifts for quick overtakes
                  • R15 remains sharper and more agile in tight corners
                  • No exceptional headline features like TPMS, cornering ABS or lean-sensitive traction control
                  • Rs 50,000-plus premium over the R15 may be difficult to justify for some buyers

                  It is a great bike. The pickup and power delivery is amazing. I love this bike. Yamaha have done a great job Yamaha. The top speed goes beyond 160 for me being a big guy. But the exhaust notes on this with an after-market exhaust is 💕. I love this bike. The price is worth the thrill this gives. I give it a 10/10.
