      Newly Launched Yamaha MT-03 Vs Rivals – 390 Duke, Speed 400

      by

      Yamaha MT-03Despite being a single-cylinder bike, 2024 KTM 390 Duke highest power, torque, hardware, electronics and features than Speed 400 and MT-03Where Yamaha YZF-R3 used to be on sale in India, this is the first time Yamaha is launching its MT-03 in the Asian subcontinent. In India, however, Yamaha MT-03 is quite a niche as it is the only 300cc to 500cc multi-cylinder street naked motorcycle. So, we pit it against 40bhp+ naked motorcycles to see how MT-03 fares.Newly Launched Yamaha MT-03 Vs RivalsIn a recent post, we compared YZF-R3 vs its logical rivals. To compare MT-03, we have selected new 2024 KTM 390 Duke with a larger 398.63cc engine and Triumph Speed 400. We didn’t involve motorcycles like BMW G 310 R or the new TVS Apache RTR 310 as they are not close to 40 bhp. Dominar 400 is out because 2024 390 Duke is a better representation of Bajaj-KTM partnership.Zontes’ 350cc line and QJ Motor have worthy 40bhp+ contenders, but they’re not mainstream motorcycle brands in India yet and they cost more than 2024 KTM 390 Duke, which is not a good thing. So the trio for this comparo is Triumph Speed 400 priced at Rs. 2.33 lakh, 2024 KTM 390 Duke priced at Rs. 3.1 lakh and Yamaha MT-03 priced at Rs. 4.6 lakh (all prices ex-sh).Considering 40 bhp power and 37.5 Nm torque priced at Rs. 2.33 lakh (ex-sh), Triumph Speed 400 is the most affordable and will satisfy a wide variety of buyers that prefer old-school non techy motorcycles. It is the best-looking motorcycle in this comparison too, striking the right balance between neo and retro.Yamaha MT-03 Vs RivalsPowertrain hardware is top-notch too. DOHC, 4V head, liquid-cooling, throttle-by-wire, 6-speed gearbox, slip and assist clutch and associated performance. Both 390 Duke and MT-03 don’t have universally likeable designs as they take their aggressive appeal to the max, raising quite some brows and splitting opinions.Stepping to 390 Duke for Rs. 3.1 lakh (ex-sh) unlocks a host of electronic goodies, features and performance-related hardware updates along with actual performance. It boasts a 45.37 bhp and 39 Nm torque, highest in this comparison. It has ride modes, a bi-directional quickshifter, cornering ABS, traction control, launch control, supermoto ABS mode and more.2024 390 Duke from KTM offers the most valueThe 5-inch fully digital instrument cluster is a coloured TFT unit and is the only one to pack it in this trio. This unlocks smartphone connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation. Front USD telescopic forks are fully adjustable for compression and rebound. While rear mono-shock unit offers compression and rebound adjustments. Brakes and fuel tank are the largest with Duke as well.Even at Rs. 4.6 lakh (ex-sh), Yamaha MT-03 feels quite bare bones. The high price is because Yamaha is bringing MT-03 to India via CBU route from Indonesia. It has a smaller 37mm USD telescopic front suspension setup, smallest brake rotor size, skinniest rear tyre and the least amount of features.But MT-03 is the only one with a twin-cylinder architecture and brings a high-revving engine that has a characteristic smoothness and sound that single-cylinder bikes can’t match. Yamaha MT-03 can strike a much better prospect in India if they bring it via CKD route, reducing price significantly. Until then, it remains the only multi-cylinder street naked motorcycle in 300cc to 500cc segment. More

      Newly Launched Yamaha R3 Vs Rivals – RS 457, Ninja, RC 390

      by

      Yamaha YZF-R3 Icon BlueAprilia RS 457 is easily the prettiest motorcycle here, along with offering the most performance and features for a reasonable priceThe void of an Italian offering in 300cc to 500cc multi-cylinder motorcycle segment left by Benelli 302 R is now filled by Aprilia RS 457. But Yamaha launched its long-awaited YZF-R3 in India India yesterday. Did Yamaha steal Aprilia’s thunder or will the Italian hold its own? We pit other fitting rivals like Kawasaki’s Ninja brothers (300 and 400) along with KTM RC 390 to see what’s what.Newly Launched Yamaha R3 Vs RivalsKTM RC 390 is a wild card entry into this comparo as it is the only single-cylinder motorcycle here. Until Triumph Thruxton 400 is launched in India, of course. The price point is the most interesting aspect of this whole comparison. Within the multi-cylinder fully-faired motorcycle umbrella, Ninja 300 is the most affordable. Still desirable or not, that’s debatable.If you are price-conscious, then KTM RC 390 at Rs. 3.18 lakh must serve you well, considering its performance and kit. Speaking of performance and kit, we think Aprilia has pulled off quite an impressive feat by cramming a lot, for very reasonable price. Aprilia has achieved this by locally manufacturing RS 457 at their Baramati plant.Yamaha R3 is a CBU, imported from Indonesia. Depending upon response, Yamaha might introduce a CKD version as well with price advantages. But considering Aprilia RS 457’s price point, it looks like there is quite a bias towards RS 457 as it offers more than R3 for a much lower price. The 47 bhp and 43.5 Nm torque are easily the highest in this comparo. Also, we think Aprilia RS 457 is the prettiest motorcycle in this comparo.Yamaha R3 Vs RivalsJapanese offerings in this list (Yamaha and Kawasaki) prove to be screamers, making the meat of their power at much higher RPMs. More performance at less RPMs along with significant displacement gain over others will make RS 457’s case stronger. The 175 kg kerb weight of Aprilia is also impressive, yielding the highest power-to-weight ratio in this comparo.The weight of R3 and Ninja 400 are lower than that of RS 457. Surprisingly, one would think that KTM having half of engine components should weigh less. But owing to lighter and more expensive material selection with Yamaha R3, Aprilia RS 457 and Kawasaki Ninja brothers are evident here.Yamaha R3 Vs Rivals – Specs, hardware and featuresNinja 300 still offers RSU telescopic forks. Having profound riding experience with Ninja 300 for around 4 years, better componentry would help in sharper cornering. Even 160cc single cylinder motorcycles are getting USD forks these days. Other misses in Ninja brothers are halogen headlights and turn indicators. Even at Rs. 5.24 lakh (ex-sh) for Ninja 400.Aprilia RS457Except for slip and assist clutch, they don’t really offer any special attributes. That said, even the Yamaha R3 misses out on any of the special attributes and features like a TFT dash that Aprilia and KTM offer. Aprilia is the only one with adjustable front suspension (preload) and ride modes. Both Yamaha R3 and Ninja 300 get 140-section rear tyre, which is slightly skinny when compared to 150-section tyres of rivals.None of the contenders in this comparison have a dual-disc brake setup at the front, which would have looked dope. If you’re wondering, Benelli 302 R used to offer a dual-disc setup at the front. Considering everything, Aprilia RS 457 comes off as the clear value proposition in this comparo based on spec sheet. Until Yamaha brings in R3 via CKD route at a lower price point and KTM launches next-gen RC 390 with larger 399cc engine. More

      Yamaha R3 And MT-03 Launched In India – Start From Rs. 4.6 Lakh

      by

      Yamaha R3 and MT-03 launchedThe 321cc parallel-twin DOHC liquid-cooled engine on Yamaha R3 and MT-03 launched, generates around 40 hp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak torqueThe Call Of The Blue is back in business by introducing multi-cylinder motorcycles after what felt like ages. Now, the entry into Yamaha’s multi-cylinder motorcycle lineup starts with the new YZF-R3 and MT-03 launched today. Prices for this dynamic duo start from Rs. 4,59,900 (ex-sh) for MT-03 and Rs. 4,64,900 for its fully-faired counterpart R3.Yamaha R3 And MT-03 Launched In IndiaUp until now, R15M was the most expensive Yamaha motorcycle in India. That changes now, as Yamaha has re-introduced YZF-R3 and launched its street naked counterpart, MT-03 for the first time in India. There are two colours on offer with Yamaha R3 – Icon Blue and Yamaha Black. While MT-03 gets Midnight Black and Midnight Cyan shades.Yamaha R3 was first launched in India in 2015 in BS4 guise and was the arch-rival to another 300cc twinner from Japan, Kawasaki Ninja 300, along with Italians like Benelli 302R. R3 took its sweet time for re-launch. But it is finally here. MT-03 however, is at the Indian gates for the first time. Sold via select dealers.R3 now gets a lot sharper design than the previous model. The new design is in line with other YZF-R products like R1, M1, R6, and even R15 that we have in India. It has a sleek and aerodynamic design and a new dash of colours too. Same goes with MT-03, where it falls in line with other MT vehicles and looks like a bigger MT-15, which it is.Yamaha MT-03 Midnight CyanYamaha MT-03 Midnight BlackLike other products in R-World, R3 also gets an air duct between the headlights for optimal cooling. Speaking about headlights, they are LEDs now and the turn indicators are integrated into the fairing. RVMs are still mounted on the cowl. It gets a decent windscreen, clip-on handlebars, sculpted fuel tank, split seat design and upswept exhaust.MT-03 gets the same attributes, but lacks a fairing. The footpegs are slightly rear set indicating that it is a track machine. It gets a fully digital instrument cluster showing various data like fuel capacity, gear position, coolant temp, real-time and average fuel economy, trip meter, clock and more.Specs and equipmentBoth Yamaha R3 and MT-03 get the same 321cc, liquid-cooled paralle-twin motor with a DOHC setup. It generates around 40 bhp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak orque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch too.Yamaha YZF-R3 Icon BlueThe main highlight of Yamaha R3 and MT-03 is its low kerb weight. R3 tips the scales at 169 kg, whereas MT-03 weighs 1 kg lighter at 168 kg. This is not only lighter than its arch-rival Ninja 300, but also RC 390, G 310 RR and Apache RR 310. Hence power:weight ratio is highest in this segment.Other hardware specs include USD forks at front and a mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by 298 mm and 220 mm discs at front and rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. R3 gets 17” wheels at both ends, shod with 110/70 front and 140/70 rear tyres. Royal Enfield 650s might be the biggest threat to Yamaha’s 300cc twinner duo, even though they don’t really compete in any other aspects than pricing. More
