From its slippery bodywork to details like YZR-M1-inspired top clamp and forged aluminum piston technology pulled from the YZF-R1, Yamaha’s littlest supersport is clearly just as serious about its purpose as the more powerful Rs. While the R3 shares these similarities, its tractable 321cc engine makes it attractive to riders who may feel intimidated by the larger iterations. The R3's refined chassis and communicative brakes make it especially responsive both on the track and on winding roads.
Featuring bodywork and graphics inspired by the MotoGP race team, this Limited Edition is sleeker and more refined than ever before.
Features may include:
Featuring flowing bodywork and ergonomics inspired by the MotoGP® YZR-M1®, complemented by Monster Energy-inspired colors and graphics, the YZF-R3® is sleek, aerodynamic and refined.
Yamaha’s championship-winning technology gives the YZF-R3 a broad spread of power with exciting high-rpm performance.
The R3’s inverted fork works with a Monocross® rear shock to provide exceptional handling, with balanced chassis rigidity, a near 50/50 weight balance, and damping and spring settings designed for a wide range of road conditions.
ENGINEYamaha’s 321cc liquid-cooled, inline 2-cylinder engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range. With a 180-degree crank design and integrated counterbalancer, the layout minimizes vibrations for a smooth, refined engine character.
With a compression ratio of 11.2:1, double overhead cams (DOHC) and four-valve cylinder heads, the YZF-R3 motor is designed for quick-revving performance and high-rpm efficiency to deliver an exciting ride with a broad spread of power.
A smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox ensures the rider always has the right ratio, whether riding through tight canyon corners or racetrack straightaways.
CHASSIS/SUSPENSIONThe YZF-R3 features an inverted fork with optimized spring and damping settings, significantly improving fork rigidity, front-end feedback and control feel. The design also includes a YZR-M1-inspired top clamp for improved supersport style.
The centrally-mounted single-shock design further centralizes mass and is tuned to strike a balance between ride comfort and sporty performance, for capability across a wide range of uses, from urban commuting to track days. It’s also adjustable for spring preload which accounts for passengers or cargo.
The 298mm floating-mount front disc brake ensures excellent stopping power, supported by a 220mm rear disc. The YZF-R3 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition YZF-R3 model also features an antilock braking system to boost rider confidence and prevent wheel lock-ups in reduced-traction conditions.
ADDITIONALThe R3’s aggressive design continues the legendary styling born from the YZR-M1 MotoGP® machine and improves overall aerodynamics at high speeds, too. The glaring face of the R3 features compact LED headlights with a central air duct that maximizes cooling airflow for the engine.
Light Emitted Diode (LED) elements are used for both the taillight unit and headlights. Not only do LEDs offer long life with minimal power draw, they provide brilliant illumination, for confidence and visibility day or night.
