The Yamaha YZF R3 is the answer from Yamaha to Kawasakis overpriced Ninja 300, the mighty KTM RC 390. The looks of this bike is really cool, with good seating, footpegs position and not at all uncomfortable like the R15 V2. 0 s pillion seat. The performance from the bike is top notch along with great low and mid range torque and the NVH level is also worth mentioning. The pricing is also very good considering what the competition offer. But the problems are the brakes which are not that great, tires run out breath on high speed and the most shocking omission is the delta box frame which is even available in the R15. But this is not at all a bad bike.
