Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha R3 2015

Yamaha sees its R3 more in line with the equally versatile Kawasaki Ninja 300, but the price is even higher than that of the KTM390. This makes the YZF-R3 a premium product, which is a bold decision in this class. But the overall package offers corresponding value: sporty engine, stable chassis, strong brakes, sensational top speed. Direct comparison will show who really has the edge. In any case, the R3 is a hot contender for the number 1 spot.
