We have ridden the MT-03, the R3’s street fighter sibling and here’s what we think

The design is quite aggressive and the LED projector headlight and twin DRLs gives it a menacing look

Exposed engine and large fuel tank and tank shrouds makes it look quite muscular

It is powered by a 321cc parallel twin engine that produces 42PS and 29.5Nm | Comes with the R3’s rev-happy nature

The engine doesn’t feel like a streetfighter -- The midrange torque isn’t there

Handles pretty well and leans into corners enthusiastically -- It’s quite flickable & fun to ride in the city

Is also quite comfortable and the suspension felt quite plush

Doesn’t come with any features like a TFT console, traction control or quickshifter | Not even a slipper clutch!

Even without the features the MT-03 is a fun bike | It has everything the R3 offers without the committed riding position

Here’s how the MT-03 performs in the real world
