                • 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

                  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 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

                  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

The panels make aerodynamics very much appealing due to which air drag is a lot more decreased by. Engine is also reliable and power output feels great . Vehicle torque is great but also easy to handle. Throttle response is very much appealing.

                  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.
