Yamaha MT 03 Latest Updates

While the world media is going gaga over the new Yamaha MT-10 that was showcased prior to its official launch at the 2015 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy today, the motorcycle that actually holds a higher importance in the Indian context is the new Yamaha MT-03. The Yamaha MT-03 was showcased to the media in a gala event in Milan and the motorcycles were ridden on stage by Yamaha MotoGP riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.

The new Yamaha MT-03 is basically the naked version of the Yamaha YZF-R3 that was launched in India recently. The styling of the Yamaha MT-03 is exactly similar to its 250cc sibling, the Yamaha MT-25. The design language of the Yamaha MT-03 is akin to street bikes with a beefy tank, petite tail lamp, and exposed frame along with sharp and edgy lines that should please the naked bike loyalists. Apart from the design changes, Yamaha boffins have also fine tuned the riding position to better suit to the street bike riding dynamics and seat height is also low at 780mm. The Yamaha MT-03 has dumped the clip-on bars for a more conventional single piece and wide handlebar that will endow the rider with an upright and comfortable riding stance.

The Yamaha MT-03 is powered by the same parallel-twin motor as seen on the Yamaha YZF-R3, good enough for 43PS of peak power and 29.5Nm of peak torque. The powerplant has been mated to a 6-speed transmission. Braking is handled via disc brakes at both ends while ABS is standard (the Yamaha R3 sold in India doesn’t get ABS). The MT-03 employs cast aluminium wheels with a 140/70 rear tyre and 120/70 front. Expect the Yamaha MT-03 to be showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo with a possible launch by late 2016. The Yamaha MT-03 will be brought in via the CKD route to India with a sticker price of under Rs 3 lakh and compete against the likes of the Kawasaki Z250, Benelli TNT300 and the upcoming BMW G301 R.

Benelli offers the TNT 300 with a 300 cc in-line, 2 Cylinder, 4-stroke, 8 Valves, DOHC engine which produces exceptional power of 38.79 PS @ 11500rpm. The TNT 300 uses a trellis frame paired with an upside down fork and a monoshock. Its braking setup comprises of a twin disc brake setup up front and a single rear disc brake with which dual-channel ABS comes as standard. For the MT-03, its India launch is not yet confirmed. It houses the same engine of YZF-R3. However, it would be unfair to give any verdict on the vehicle. Apart from the TNT 300, you can look for the KTM Duke 390 or BMW G 310 R. The decision of purchasing the vehicle would depend on the requirement of the user, riding conditions, etc. So, we would recommend taking a test drive for that will give you the exact idea about the vehicle.See for the nearest dealers here - https://www.zigwheels.com/bikes/dealers

Zigwheels | 2 months ago

As you are looking for an adventure tourer with great power and amazing torque so that you don't face any problem on the steep roads. The Royal Enfield Himalayan would be the perfect choice in terms of great power, amazing ground clearance, good grip tyres and great balance for rough roads. Moreover, you may check the BMW G 310 GS as another good option. However, you may take a test ride of both the bikes so that you may check the comfort, build quality, and features of the bike.Click here for the dealership: https://www.zigwheels.com/bikes/dealers

Q. Which bike is better to purchase Ninja 300 , KTM Duke 250 or Yamaha MT 03

Zigwheels | 7 months ago

We can't give any verdict about Yamaha MT-03 as the bike hasn't been launched. However, if we compare KTM 200 Duke and Kawasaki Ninja 300 then Ninja 300 will our pick as it does come across as a very potent track tool with not so sharp ergonomics as the KTM. Making it a more approachable machine for riders to use it for their daily stints as well. Do take a test ride in order to judge your riding comfort.
