Position
Regarding its position in the market, the Yamaha R3 competes with other middleweight sportbikes such as the KTM RC 390, BMW G 310 RR and another Kawasaki Ninja 400. The R3 is popular among enthusiasts and riders looking for a high-performance, track-focused motorcycle suitable for daily use.
Some cosmetic updates have been made to the R3 model for the 2023 model year. Specifically, the R3 now features sleek LED indicators derived from larger models, and a new eye-catching purple colour has been added to the available options. These changes are purely cosmetic and do not affect the performance or functionality of the vehicle.
Strong competitor
If Yamaha is indeed planning to return to the premium bike segment in India, the R3 would be a strong contender for launch in the market. The R3 has already gained a following in India, and Yamaha has a strong reputation for producing high-quality motorcycles.
