We rode the Yamaha R3 and here’s what we think about it

Aggressive supersport design with a full fairing - but looks a bit too similar to the R15 from afar

Available in two colour schemes - Yamaha Black and Icon Blue, the latter looks a bit better in our opinion

Powered by a liquid-cooled parallel-twin 321cc engine - Produces 42PS & 29.6Nm

Rev-happy engine enjoys being ridden hard: can rev it up to almost 13000rpm

Equipped with a 37mm inverted fork at the front and a monoshock

Very friendly handling - both beginners and experienced riders will enjoy it

Comfortable upper body ergonomics but cramped lower body position for taller riders

Generates noticeable heat during prolonged traffic jams

Basic features with an analogue tachometer with a digital speedometer lacking a premium feel

At Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi), it’s quite expensive for what it offers
