Yamaha finally made its move into small-medium sports and officially presented the YZF-R3. With twin-cylinder in-line engine 42 of horses and 321 ml, weight 169 kilos full and a design that rips!

The appearance of Yamaha's new small and medium sport motorcycle follows the standards of the smaller YZF R-125 which was introduced relatively recently and is highly aggressive by the sports standards of the category.

The only objection from our side, purely in the area of ​​design is the choice of the conventional fork for the suspension of the front wheel. He will definitely do his job. It was lost, Nevertheless, an inverted with golden reeds, like the one used by R125; The same applies to the two-piston caliper of the front disc 298 mm. (220 mm. back) which has been mounted on the fork in a conventional manner and not radially as in the smaller brother. Beyond this point the R3 is extremely impressive and has nothing to envy from larger displacement sport bikes.
