Recently Asked User Questions
Q. Should I buy continental GT 650 or Yamaha R3?
- The Yamaha R3 is yet to make its way to India and it would not be fair to give a verdict here. Yamaha discontinued the supersport in India this year as it wasn’t BS6 compliant. The updated version is likely to be launched by early-2021. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 would be a good choice if you are looking for a proper Cafe Racer bike that gets clip-on handlebars, single seat with a race cowl, and blacked-out spoke wheels. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high speed straight line blasts and would be a brilliant choice for outright thrills. For a better understanding of performance and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read More: - BREAKING: Royal Enfield 650 Twins Get More Expensive - 2021 Yamaha R3 Receives The MotoGP Treatment
Q. What to choose between Yamaha R3, Ninja 300, Ninja 650, BMW G 310 R considering the bike will be used in city ride mostly and weekend rides and some times a bit touring.
- G310 if you want a head turner ,ninja if you want to feel comfortable + sporty in city, r3 if you can afford it
- Bmw 310 r
- For city ride in India 100-200cc motorcycle are the best. But as a R3 owner I face some problem in city conditions (20-30kmph). Problems in city to ride a 300cc bikes - 1). Squeezing clutch make you hand feel pain, 2).Radiator fan heat, 3).Fuel consumption, 4).Handle turning radius is not so good and ,5).300 cc bike lekar 20-30 kmph 🤒🤒. From my perspective G310>R3>300>650. NB- I am not an expert.
Q. I'm planning to get Yamaha YZF R3. Which year model I can go for? Buying 2018 R3 Or should wait and get 2019 R3 at the end of 2019? What's the difference between 2019 model and 2018 model? Is there any upgradation in the engine or in its aesthetics? Any one suggest me about this?
- Just wait for the new model, new one will be bit on sporty side
- No upgradation in engine but new versions got an killer look
- 2019
