5 Reasons Not To Buy Yamaha R3 | MotorBeam

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- www.motorbeam.com finds out 5 reasons not to buy the Yamaha R3. A rival to the Kawasaki Ninja 300, the R3 is similar to the Kwacker in many ways but still there are reasons not to buy one. Besides not being on sale in India anymore as it doesn't meet BS4 emission norms, the Yamaha R3 is expensive but still lacks equipment.
The Yamaha R3 is priced at around Rs. 4 lakhs (on-road, Mumbai) and is brought to India via the CKD route. It is still slower than the KTM RC 390 in 0-100 km/hr acceleration and lacks a slipper clutch, ABS and ride-by-wire throttle which the Katoom gets as standard.

Lots of Yamaha owners are feeling hurt after seeing this video. Let's go over all the points once again.
*The R3 is more like a Fazer 300 even though it is called the baby M1. It doesn't get USD front forks, perimeter frame, aluminum swingarm and a link-type monoshock, some of these things are available on cheaper bikes like the R15 and R125.* - This is purely a fact, we have mentioned what's missing on the R3 (something cheaper Yamaha bikes get).
*The R3's mileage is on the lower side, in fact it is less frugal than its immediate rival, returning 24 kms per litre.* - The Ninja 300 returns 2-3 km/l more than the R3, both bikes' mileage was tested back to back.
*The Yamaha R3 costs Rs. 4 lakhs in Mumbai which makes it too costly for a locally assembled bike.* - FACT
*With the R3, Yamaha hasn't reinvented or innovated and the bike's hardware is an imitation of the Kawasaki Ninja 300 but it still lacks a slipper clutch. There is no ABS either.* - The Ninja 300 came in 2011 with the same hardware. Lack of slipper clutch and ABS is another fact.
*The R3's pillion seat isn't that great and it doesn't have any grab rails either.* - It does lack grab rails and we did not find the pillion seat to be comfortable.
So why this hatred guys? Nowhere have we said that the Yamaha R3 isn't a good bike or it lacks in performance or its handling is bad. We have spoken about lack of equipment but never said that the handling is poor or the bike is less capable. Just imagine what the R3 would have been with top drawer hardware.
We deserve better, why does Yamaha offer ABS abroad and not in India? Why do other markets get the R15 V3.0 way before us? Why won't Yamaha launch a middle-weight in India when its two main Japanese rivals already have. Let's not get offended because we own a Yamaha. You don't like this video concept tell us, we will do something about it, but let's not spread hate, biking is about brotherhood, not calling each other names.
MotorBeam plz make a video on gixxer sf fi bs4
MotorBeam Truth always hurts but doesn't mean that it is never revealed. Kudos to you guys to be hard on the points the bike lacks. Every word you have spoken is true and it takes lot of guts to do that.. Please continue to do this and we true fans will be always support you guys
Thanks a ton Manohar for the unending support, appreciate it.
MotorBeam here the price and mileage is the main problem
MotorBeam exactly motorbeam, you guys make true and quiet informative videos, thatngives a buyer a lot on knowledge about a specific vehicle before putting their money on that vehicle, and I don't know why people get offended by your videos, as if they have built those vehicles.
exactly this is what all these companies are to be questioned about, why they dont introduce a better hardware in India as they do in other countries,we are not fools, same goes for royal enfield as they have introduced abs, rear disc brake in other countries and and not in India, why why why.. all the best for you next videos and cheers! love you guys
Buy splendour. It has mileage, low price and comfort and matches your channel content.
Haha 👍
Are Bhai Bhai Bhai 😂😂😂😂
R15 giving 50
Good one bro 👍🏽
Haha great reply buddy 😂👍👏🏁
Nice points team. Now after riding the R3 for 43K kms till now, I think I'm qualified to make some points. here are my points:
1. No R DNA : I don't know how and where you tested the R3, but be sure, It doesn't lack handling prowess. If you want to really know about that please hit the tracks and you'll know it. Asking you not to make baseless points. :)
2. Low Mileage: On the highways I get 32-33 kmpl and in cities 25-26 kmpl. You want anything more than that? Please buy a Splendor. Please do a proper test ride and then comment on this. :)
3. High Price: R3 costs 4L INR, true !! But it's around 30-40K INR less than N300 and much more pocket friendly in terms of servicing which comes to around 1 INR/km excluding fuel. You need less than that from a twin-cylinder bike, then you might not be suitable for a twin-cylinder bike and only and single-cylinder will satisfy you. And yes, that service cost is way less than the service of both TNT300 and N300. One small example: Chain sprocket kit of N300 costs around 12K INR and for R3 it costs less than 6K INR...and yes for me it lasted 41K kms. Again, more better research was expected from you guys.
4. Lack of Hardware: Really !! You meant it really !! As if the other bikes in the same segment are loaded with hardware. And that's they're corner junkies. Please get your facts straight. Learn about the engine more and hardware involved there. Again, more research expected. :)
5. Pillion Comfort: Again, guys, please do some proper research. My wife had a 800-km round trip as pillion with me without any complaints about pillion comfort. The pillion also should know how to sit correctly as a pillion. And then you can't expect a comfy pillion seat like a cruiser from a sports tourer, ain't it? Again, please do proper research. :)
I get it that you guys just need a video to upload. But then a little research will not do much harm, isn't it?
Being a proud owner for over an year with nearly 25k kms on odo, I think this video should be renamed '5 really dumb reasons not to buy the best bike in its category'.
An amateur would have come up with better points after reading/watching few articles and comparisons, no offense.
Well said !
Arnab Chowdhury well said arnab!
It feels like tey r paid to give reviews like these....
Arnab Chowdhury thanks, now im convinced to get one after this channel un convinced me
Hello #MotorBeamers, even if you want to buy a R3, you can't because Yamaha hasn't launched the BS4 version in India yet.
We are doing a RUclips live tomorrow evening (Thursday - 20th April 2017 at 9:30 PM). It will be a Q&A with Faisal so be there with all your motoring questions.
We are doing a survey on car/bike service in India, please take 2 minutes to fill out this form for us - goo.gl/forms/5xxCiHUso4C6YnWo2
please do a review of the pulsar ns 160
MotorBeam its already bs4 cant u see it supports aho
@Fiery - it's not available in India.
@VIP - that's not AHO, it's DRLs.
@A3 - we already made a video on why not to buy KTM - ruclips.net/video/4B2jIvXPW_0/видео.html
how come it is available in nepal and not in india
vip yes that's the AHO but BS4 and AHO are different. The AHO doesn't come under BS4. So the R3 was BS3 with AHO. The BS4 R3 will be launched by June in India.
pillion comfort ? 😂😂 like you take your granny for a ride on a R3
talk about some real stuff guys
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk to the R3 owners who actually live with the bike.. Find out the actual flaws.. and THEN re-make the video with those points.. It will be a lot better... than... what you did here.
Wer3 Ikr! They just make their own themes! 😂
Wer3 totally agree with you man
#man he should remake the video... after the lunch of 2018 YZF R3
Its a bias review..... More like not seeing the potential of the rated bike..... This review doesn't prove anything. Say it to the face of the yamaha industries in japan and i promise you you'll never get back alive. Hahahah..... Yamaha R3 is one of the most powerful stylish and BEGINNER BIKE of most riders. Im planning to get one soon so NO thanks for this review. Hahahah
I’ve had mine for a month and I love it so far
thiers also 5 reason if why we should not listen to what this men is saying
1. its just a false
2. its just a false
3. its just a false
4. its just a false
and lastly
5. ITS JUST A FALSE
You own an R3?
@@MotorBeam most probably a super splendor? 😂
@@MotorBeam I own an R3
And don't start debate. I have to say exactly as Arnab Choudhary whom you knows. And who cares about mileage if you are going for a sports bike. R3 is killer in its segment, it's a twin cylinder, be reminded about it, it is the best tourer on 300 cc segment no doubt, no bikes comes to its near on refinement section
reason to unsubscribe motorbeam
1. baseless content
2. they are super attached to why you should buy this or not to buy this
its time to unsubscribe
We do all kinds of videos and when viewers asked us to do such kind of videos, we did it but you clearly don't seem to like it.
MotorBeam look at the comments mate
98 out of 100 comments disagree with this Unresearched bullshit
MotorBeam look at your last 4-5 videos which contain this kind of content
Because a majority of Yamaha fans are here.
come on motorbeam, this is just so lazy of you, we know you can make better videos. It's so clear there isn't much effort put into this video, it is as if you shot this video for the sake of views and ad revenue! please up your youtube game !
Dear Motorbeam, please dont make videos for the heck of it.Except lack of ABS, everything else is baseless. It is a yamaha, and a twin for god's sake. You cant expect them to price it like a dominar 400. it handles well, has good ride quality and 25-30 kmpl os the segment standard. Or have you experienced 50 kmpl in a 300cc 40+ bhp bike? My 390 gives me 20 kmpl when ridden hard. Yzf R3 is a good product. Please dont degrade a motorcycle without putting enough miles on it.
We have ridden it enough and have spoken a lot of positives about it, but we believe in showing both sides of the story.
25-30 kmpl?? Don't say that...Then the team will say you're not riding as it's supposed to... They did the same to me even though I have ridden for around 43K now...waiting for their inputs on my riding...
SAVAGE AF
Hahaha! Good one Arnab da 😂
believe in showing both sides of the story ?? this is just plain bullshit MB !! I mean come on you've posted this shitty baseless silly reasoning video so soo late. All you were doing in this video is just nitpicking, we know you can do better than this !
R3 has a mind blowing breaking system I love R3
You mean Braking
I love the r3
No matter what other people say. Even it has it flaws etc. I will still go for an r3. And besides everybike is great. But my heart belongs to r3.
Dear Motor bean, thank you for making this video. The end result was that, a lot of experinced , technically sound owners of R3 came out of den and listed all the positives of R3 who would have remained mum otherwise. I am going for an R3 soon.....
Congrats. Now with ABS and Metzeler tyres, the R3 is a better package.
I bought R3 ABS today
This video made my day 🤣😂
I was laughing so hard at your jokes
By which angle does it looks like a fazer???
You missed a point, worst in class tyres for a bike that costs almost 4 lakhs.
Motorbeam , please make a video stating the reasons not to buy the Pulsar 200ns.
Lol, Ninja 300 comes with worse tyres actually. You sir, are mistaken.
fake reviews I never had those troubles , how much did u get to defame it
We are making such videos for all bikes, so you need to chill.
I think u guys need to make some better videos than wasting time
Fuck you Motorbeam.
@@TKFast 😂
Owned the r3 for more 4years and 40k kms. It's a free country and you have the right to your opinion. In my humble opinion, Faisal's lost his "beans"!
Well that no grab rail pt. is a plus pt. :P
Ktm Rc200 gives an average of 25-28kmpl.
if R3 gives same average with extra power ..this is right choice .
Yamaha R3.🖒🖒🖒
RC 200 doesn't give 25-28, more like 30 km/l.
RC390 gives me 25 kmpl in city!
Haha.Ultimate savage to KTM fanboys!I like it.
My Rc 390 30 km
Kundan Roy u r absolutely right
by the way
im still going to buy it😂😂😂
Awesome.
Probably the most Dumb 5 reasons not to buy a R3.
You expect more than 25kmpl from a twin cylinder being rode in the city?Like seriously?One should keep his/her eyes on Bajaj Platina in this concern.
I don't know where you rode the bike with pillion that made you come to a decision "R3 is all about Riding Alone." I have brother who have ridden with their wives thousands of kms.Even I have done 600 kms in very bad road condition.
And I don't even know what made you think that R3 looks like a bigger Fazer.
Yes it is 4 lakh on road still is less than Ninja 300.
Not expected from you guys.
Actually this is what is expected from Ninja fanboys!! LMAO
Wait for our reasons not to buy Ninja 300 video.
you fuckin idiot i have a ninja 300 2014 and its a fuckin awesome bike, best learner bike here in Australia, kya chutiya hai kya tu , go ride a single cylinder 100cc crap box or a pulsar, thats all you can afford anyways
Omfg, this shits deep😂😂😂even kawa are defensive now!!
@@MotorBeam Arre bhai sahab sb bike K liye toh mana kr diya... Toh kya splender lele
4 lakhs 6 years ago!!! Wow... excited to know what it's price will be now
bhagwan kare yamaha R3 v2.0 launch ho jaldi..
That too with ABS.
Ravi Utkarsh ReVzZ Rider haan yar !! Mujhe lena hai next year !! Kaash upar wale launch kar de !! 😕
Revzz Rider bhai ho gaya...
enlogo ko abhi ye video remake kar na chaiya.,
Most of you guys are thinking of the 2018 Yamaha R3 but in reality the 2016 Yamaha R3 really laked in a lot of features. I completely agree with Faisal and Team Motorbeam. But when they will make a similar video on the newer R3, all of the dislikers will like it. Truth always hurt but you all should better be aware of when and where the circumstances meet.
Like
1) R DNA was missing because it was not as aerodynamic as the present day R3
2) Mileage used to fall but Yamaha improved it.
3) Slipper Clutch and Dual Channel ABS was actually missing on the old R3 and they are basic safety features every cautious Indian Rider should have.
4) Yeah 4 Lakh rupees is really expensive for any middle class person who generally earn 30K to 40K and has to look after the family.
5) No grabrail is really a terrible fault for any pillion. Should be given.
Love your Work Faisal, Dhanil, Parth and others of Team Motorbeam. Don't listen to these ****holes. You researched well and you got a subscriber and a liker. Keep UP........
ABS and Rounder Profile tyres could have proved it worth it :)
That at the same price.
The Duker I upgraded my tires +10 front and back... alittle heavier but rides better
All these mentioned points completely goes out of the way in the ocean when you ride this bike. The engine is so smooth, Powerful Twin Cylinder engine just charges after 7000rpm. It is probably the best Twin Cylinder 300cc segment bike in India's market.
What about the Ninja 300?
Fark! I got my 2016 R3 and its has ABS brakes on the rear and front. I'm happy with my R3 and for the milage, I can get 250+/- km per tank which cost's around NZD$19.00.
I’m in love with my 2014 R3 first time being on a bike learned in five days an I’m a bigger guy but short it is beyond anything he has said 3 years ago thank you Yamaha
Guys, The only reason you have drawn so much flak is that you have stretched those 5 reasons covering nitpicks. Agreed ABS is a much needed addition. But please tell me, what sort of additional equipment does the r15 carry over the R3? Hell those two bikes aren't even the same kind.
R3 is a sports tourer which does both things pretty darn well if not the best. Example, look at the RC 390 - great on tracks? yes. has equipment? Yes but would a guy buy it for touring and complain about its small tank size and non-tourer ergonomics?
In that case the main negatives you could have mentioned could be about the headlamp (low beam) conking out frequently, lack of ABS, stock tyres. Focus on real issues guys. Lack of a grab rail isn't that big of a deal breaker right? Why not mention the same point about lack of grab rail for the r15 as well? You did mention pillion comfort?
After the de-merge of kawasaki and bajaj the LT ownership costs are even more in favour of the R3 compared to kawasaki. So what are your real negatives now?
If the R3 is for sports touring, why does it have the R badge, why not just call it the Fazer?
The R3 has ABS now as an option just the same as the Ninja 300.
Nevermind, you guys are talking about just for India. My bad. That's sort of dumb that they don't have the same options available to the entire world. Especially with many more people using motorcycles in India as daily drivers than in the US. As well you guys definitely need it more with many of your rural roads being poorly maintained, gravel, or just dirt. My R3 has ABS and I paid about $700 for an aftermarket slipper clutch and another $100 for a quick shifter.
yeah i completely agree with him...
you cant ride this if you are wearing saree so impractical
it doesnt have 100 liters fuel tank
i buy sports bike only to buy groceries ofc
it doesnt do 300 km/h
He's right dont buy this bike
Yes sir. very true. I am using this bike in my village to carry haystacks. Very impractical bike.
Dreamt of an R3, bought an R15-s instead. Very happy with R15-s but still dreaming of R3.
The only negative part of R3 is its parts unavailability.
1:19 😂😂😂
Sir please replay me can r3 go 190+
Motorbeam is only segmented with Ktm.....U all will motorbeam always takes wow fot Ktm and hornet....hahaha !!!!!! Everyone listen motorbeam is being paid by Ktm n Honda....All other bikes are crap for them.....N that mileage issue in every video rider walks with bike to the petrol pump...Tum log kya fuel station ke paas hamesha shoot karte ho .....LOL MOTORBEAM LOL !!!!!!
See this video before you comment - ruclips.net/video/4B2jIvXPW_0/видео.html
R3 is a sports tourer and not a sports motorcycle. Yamaha made real sports motorcycle in 80's and 90's with Yamaha FZR 250R and FZR 400RR. Both had inline 4 cylinder engine with Deltabox chassis. FZR 250R was 45+bhp revving up to 19,000rpm and FZR 400RR was 65+bhp revving up to 14,000rpm. R3 has shitty underpowered 2 cylinder engine making only 42bhp at crank and 34 bhp at rear wheel. R3 has huge speedometer error of 10kmph to 12 kmph. Both FZR 250R and 400RR were lighter than R3. Yamaha has actually gone in the reverse direction for 400cc and below. Pity new riders think R3 is sports motorcycle.
Whoa! Who are you?
do video why not to buy rc series
tech team:
1. No riding comfort.
2. Small fuel tank so frequent fuel stops.
3. Low fuel mileage (if you ride it hard)
4. High compression engine i.e it heats up and you can feel it on your lower thighs.
5. Joke of a pillion seat.
6. Less refinement levels.
7. Isn't comfortable doing low speeds at higher gear...you have to shift down for low speeds to avoid engine knocking.
Well these are the reasons for not getting one... but list of reasons why you should get one is really long.... depends on what you're looking for in a bike.
BTW i own a RC390 and i couldn't be happier with my choice.... its pocket rocket fun machine.
what do u expect from rc 200 or rc390 for this price ?? who gave abs and slipper clutch on this price ?? who gave this much power on 200cc -25bhp 390cc - 45bhp ???? who the fuck give this much ???
do yamaha did these ????
1 - riding comfort - agree on rc but not that bad on small rides but if u go for long ride its bit hard.. u can take rest and go ( its about your mind set and will power to reach there) while you ride
2- Small fuel tank so frequent fuel stops. - on rc200 or duke 200 its much better compair to 390!! oky agree to that
3 - low fueal mieage - rc 200 -25bhp on this much power do u even expect milage ??? leave that on 390 do you even expect good milage on this much agressive engine ??? lol
4 - high compression on engine - old 390cc dude single cylinder 390cc- 45bhp it will heat up ! its common .. on rc 200 the engine dont heat up !!!
5 - pillion seat - yeaa the old rc200 and rc390 have a flat pillion seat but now they incress the pillion height much better now . the old seat not bad at all
and why did u choose rc390 then dude ??? you know that it wont be a comfort the bike made for racing track one if u are not comfortable on seating postition you should go for duke 390!!!
crim loard Dude.... That's a list of reasons due to which one might not go for the RC series.
I bought what i wanted and i choose the best thing at that price point. You are echoing my exact thoughts here.
Every time I ride my 390 there's a wide grin on my face... I'm absolutely loving this bike.... Its so freakin fast for a bike that costs just 2.5 lakhs....its a bomb.
DEB 830 If you want sound then get a Mojo300. If you want sound and performance then spend 4 lakhs and get a Ninja (4lakhs+) or an R3.
DEB 830 And btw 2017 series sound so much better.... Definitely not a auto-rickshaw sound anymore 😂
Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
five reasons not to buy it, and than you end the video with its acceleration O.o
are you convincing or advising ? :D
As of 2023 those who bought R3 did a good job. R3 got a bullet proof engine. And a very smooth one. And its japanese. Reliable in the long run.
1:15 girl talking her own
I’m not an R3 owner. But some of these points are questionable. Most R3 buyers in my country (U.S.A.) are new bike riders and shouldn’t be carrying a pillion until they gain more experience and maybe get a larger bike. It’s really marketed as a beginner bike for solo riders. As far as seat comfort most riders I know go with after market seats so that pretty much goes for any bike. Gas mileage? Eh... these aren’t the type bikes we go touring on. Mostly for commuting and a short fun ride here and there. Fuelly puts their avg mpg at around 60 which isn’t too bad for its 3.7 liter tank. I’ve actually toured on that type of tank range. My buddy was learning on a 1st gen ninja 250 several years ago and in an emergency it was able to haul my 200+ pound butt and his 150ish for a couple of miles. No I wouldn’t wanna test that weight capacity on the highway and we had to rev it to get to the power range but again...it’s not meant to carry that type of load on a reg. basis. ABS would be a nice addition but I’ve ridden 30 years without a bike that’s every had it. And adding it may constitute a price bump. I concede the marketing for it may be different in your country. And maybe your avg riders are more fit than our lard butts. :) But I just think the 300 was put in a slightly unfair light here. Kinda like comparing a lightweight fighter using middleweight standards.
Just rip the throttle all of a sudden and you will see the bike not holding the line and that is enough to say the tyres are the worst.
Rip the throttle more aggressively on a RC390 (even more torque) but still its holds the line unlike an R3.
I miss these series nowadays
Chill motorbeam, keep doing this awesome stuff. I own a pulsar 200ns and still I want you to make a video stating the reasons not to buy it and there are people like these in the comment section. But stay cool.
The Ninja 300 is not called "ZX3R" similarly, the R3 is not a supersport, but a sports tourer. The 'R" name doesn't do it justice as it creates unrealistic expectations. The N300 and R3 do not compete with the RC 390. Even though they are in the same displacement class, they are very different bikes.
The only thing really wrong with the bike is the poor tyre choice (No, I don't want every bike in the world to have Metzler shoes, there is better touring rubber out there). The lack of ABS can be blamed on our government more than the companies since the only real reason why the international variants of these bikes come with ABS options is because it is required by law in many countries.
Neither Kawasaki nor Yamaha can be blamed for the pricing of their respective bikes because the RC 390, R3 and N300 cost pretty much the same elsewhere. These bikes aren't expensive, the KTMs are cheaper because they're manufactured here. That's just how it works.
These are my 2 cents on this topic.
PS: I own an RC 390 and honestly, I've never even considered the Ninja or the R3 since I did not want a sports tourer.
this review doesn't make any sense..!! crap..lol
You are a Yamaha fan?
MotorBeam it's not a matter of fan or not.. every motorcycle is made for a purpose.. it has to be guaged against its purpose... it is baseless to discuss by picking some random stuffs without any insight... example we cannot expect a performance machine to give commuter machine milage...
Why not take the 2020 YAMAHA R3 for a spin??? You're talking about the old 2015 model and bitching about it to create a clickbait content which has a controversial topic. And your comparison to the R15 BE, you do realize that the R15 V3 was launched recently in 2019,right? Why didn't you take that into perspective? It's a very old sports bike you're using and you're trying to compare it with the new age motorbikes. You really need to get a hold of the perspective of age. And I said before, take the 2020 YAMAHA R3 for a spin, then talk.
wers the fz25 drag race bruh?
Chetan Gowda you are right we want the drag race between the FZ25 vs Duke200 vs Duke 250
We will do it soon.
MotorBeam cool
Then what we should buy instead ? You not told this !! Kawasaki service costs are much expensive !!! What we buy in this segment please tell ???
Good job Motorbeam , The things you said are exactly right. That is what I even observed in various reviews also from my personal drive experience.
To review your points:
-It is not costly. The bike itself is very cheap for what you're getting; and remember you're getting a gear indicator, fuel gauge, service light and many more things.
-It's MPG is not bad at all. In America, it gets around 50-60 miles per gallon, making the ability to go long amounts of time without having to keep getting fuel.
-It's a well rounded bike. For the price point you're getting you're getting a pretty solid deal on all the things you get. You can't expect it to be the fastest, lightest, best looking bike ever without spending tons of money, so I personally think you're getting a lot of features for the price point the bike is at.
R3? What's that, we have the KTM RC 390 which runs circle around the Yes Yamaha!
But lacks comfort.
The R3 is atleast 15 kms faster than that cheap RC390. May be in initial acceleration it will but not in the top end
and its ugly af
And after around 20k your RC390s engine blows then? Haha!
Don’t give me your “do regular service and maintain” and all as I know it all being a duke 390(2016) owner! Twin is a twin! 😊👍
Don’t take it personal! I have subscribed you too!
bhai tu na kabhi.. PREMIUM segment ka naam suna hay...
nahi suna hi to google kar..
ya ek premium segment ka bike hai....
aur ya... around kuch nahi.hota..hoga to equal nahi to nahi...
or ya bat may RC390 ka 2 year ka ownership ke bad bolraha hu....
I appriciate your points, but you must hear the owner's perspective aswell.
ABS-The Only genuine complain is the lack of ABS. That should be must in every bike over 150cc.
Pillion Comfort- I am a married man, and my wife is fairly comfortable in the pillion seat. Yes its hard compared to CBR's(my previous bike), but not that bad. She holds me while riding pillion. Grab rails would have been welcome, but not a deal braker.
Milege of 27-30kmpl is very much acceptable as per me from a twin cylinder.
Pricey it is, but the spare parts are very reasonably priced, which is an advantage over the much over priced Ninja 300.
Of course there are reasons not to buy the Ninja 300 too.
disadvantages of the bike because reviewers want to show bike in dark side to.
1) it was showcased as R DNA bike but since it's cost so high, one can't think of wheeling and stunting in every street and nukkad and guli.
2) colors: colors are always green on other side guess that is green and orange are more favorable than flashy blue or pearl black. why is it becoming a head turner.
3) R3 is very late in market like very very late. all the Bajajs and Hero along with suzukis, TV's and the Hondas and not the least RE are already thriving with multiple cylinder quarter liter or 300cc bikes in the market.
4) bike has been recalled. that too twice. fucking 2 times. can you imagine. a company is so concerned that it is calling bike back even after 1.5 years in market but still such a sad quality right. a recall should never happen. rider should die on road, money should go in drain.
5) have you heard it's horn, bloody hell that scooty horn, such a feminine look it has. no macho character. guess everyone should have that sumo horn.
6) exhaust note: bloody hell look at Benelli man what an orgasmic note. just have erotic feeling by listening. such a shitty refined note on R3.
look at KTMs. bloody they give competition to 3 wheelers.
sad R DNA.
at least they should have given a thump in R3.
7) wonder why they have not given Gizmo TFT screen or ohlins suspension and brembo 4 callipers ABS. Yamaha should learn from Dominor and Mojo's, they have all such things and that too at puny price bracket. R3 such a shame in costly bracket.
Thump in R3? It's not a cruiser bike.
MotorBeam as expected, you didn't get the post.
you and your reviews need to get matured.
#sarcasmalert
If they're matured enough they wouldn't have given silly points here in this video. Leave it !!
Please ignore these people.they don't have experience riding big bikes😂. They don't have experience in riding on snow slush, on road,off-road etc .You guys are genius. First compare R3 with ninja ,then say R3 doesn't have power,it's costlier and lack abs . I never knew that ninja had abs and was cheaper than R3 ...
madmax_wanderer hahaha plsss don't compare R3 with benelli or rc390 . ever ridden r3 ??? plss get a life
It doesn't have grabbing parts to make the girl hug you.
i like the way the girl rode all the way in the middle of no where and decided to walk away as the seat isnt comfy, its something else
What is that you have done in the tail section...is it the original license plate holder of R15v2?.....if so how to install it ?
Finally someone else who thinks the same way, the r3 always felt too 'soft' for the R moniker
They should have just called it the Fazer 300.
agreed
@@Josh-ft3ri Of course you and the likes of faisal would called a sports tourer a fazer 300 lol
This is the part tht makes MotorBeam genuine and factualistic. The reason i followed. The only guys who have balls to down look.
There is NO Competition for the KTM Duke390 today. absolute Beast.
The next generation RC 390 will give it tough competition.
& when that launching ?
This bike gets 45 miles to the gallon, costs about $5k American, and is a superb little performer for a beginner bike. Its 321cc engine gives great power, its front brake is fine--its single caliper stops the bike HARD! The rear brakes perform as you would expect for any rear brake--don't use it alone to try to stop the bike. And the fit, finish, and riding comfort on the bike are all great! Why on Earth anyone would gig this bike the way they did in the video is beyond me. The R3 is a great little BEGINNER bike.
What happened when the exhaust in this R3 is changed to some ****.. Did it Beat H2??? Anything Useful except noise pollution???
Hi #MotorBeam
I m confused between pulsar rs200 and Yamaha V3....Pls help me to choose the right one...😢
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the recalls.
That was another story altogether.
please tell how I can buy a offroad helmet from amazon for 15yrs boys because in amzon there is only medium and large size...helmet how to choose please
The purpose of this video is to mention the points that has to be kept in mind if you are willing to buy R3.
If you don't find anything major with the 5 issues shown then you can definitely go forward Its a superb bike.
perhaps motorbeam should title the video such that it doesn't sound negatively.
dude i have one doubt..whats ur fav bike
1.royal enfield
2.ktm duke 200
3.ktm rc 200
4.yamaha r15
5.pulsar RS200
6.honda cbr 250
We like all bikes.
tell me which is the best bike yzf r3 ,ktm rc 390,cbr250r, hyosung gt 250R , kawasaki ninja 300
KTM RC 390.
Do a video on why you shouldn't buy the Ninja 300.
Coming this May.
I own Yamaha R3 and my comments are:-
Comfort for the rider compared to other 300 series bikes.
Back pain is very less compared to other 300 series bikes in long road trip.
Yea price is high but come one its Yamaha which always satisfies one in performance, speed, power, safety, control, stability, ..... and 192 KMPH top speed.
WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LIKE?
Price, lack of ABS, etc.
@@MotorBeam what should be its price according to you ? with twin engine? and yes its also got abs in 2019....no other 321 cc bikes are even close to yamaha r3 right now
Benelli 302r vs Yamaha r3 vs Kawasaki ninja 300 which bike suggests you for me like sound,looks and performance wise
motor beam don't u think u sud make a video on reasons not to buy pulsers rather just Yamaha and ktm
I was put off buying this bike after watching this video. I went into a yamaha store and saw one for myself and bought it today. Best decision of my life. Love this thing. Your review, as an new owner, is pure bullshit. Thank God I ignored this
Mileage and pillion comfort are not reasons. Reasons would be :
1. Price 2. Lack of Hardware (ABS, Slipper clutch and tyres) 3.No R DNA...to an extent. Still makes a fantastic tourer.
But I love r3 .👉😂
I really can't understand the hatred against #MotorBeam here. The points spoken were facts. Every bike has pros and cons. R3 is one of the most refined bikes in India but not a true track natured bike. RC is a track junkie but cannot live with it as a daily commute. MotorBeam has expressed its opinions on something. You either agree or disagree. The final opinion will always be with the individual to choose the bike he wants. Just because you don't agree to the points highlighted here is really unfair to claim a channel to be doing biased reviews or paid reviews. You don't like the video, you always have the dislike button. I have owned my Duke for 3 years. There are so many shortcomings but I will love her forever for the good things she boasts of. So I request all the Bikers not to get personal here and take the review positively. I'm not asking anyone to agree with MotorBeam but do not accuse without any base
Dear MB, No offense intended. Yamaha does not give hardware you expect it to. Like slipper clutch, ABS, perimeter frame, USD front forks etc. please go back in time and watch your own video of R3,RC & Ninja 300 comparison. Dont you feel it is strange that you praised Ninja 300 too much(fact being Ninja is almost identical to R3 in hardware except slipper clutch addition) despite the fact that Ninja 300 is the slowest, costliest and has the worst tyres among the 3?Your verdict was that Ninja tops the list, which by your expectations now(hardware), is surprising as RC390 beats any other bike
Ninja came in 2011 and that was before the KTM RC 390 was announced, Kawasaki made it, it did not just go and copy a competitor which Yamaha has done.
If both Ninja 300 and R3 have had ABS at that price...the sales figures might have been different...
True but still these bikes are expensive.
MotorBeam you can buy a trolly van. That will do ur job.
i saw the same bike few days back at the Naman Yamaha showroom Panvel akrapovic installed in it is that the same one??
Shall we have a video about why not to buy pulsar RS200....
Why RS 200 is not getting equal importance as other bikes get from motor beam.....need more regarding RS200
Hey man, I noticed something, what kind of forks are you using? and clip ons? They look a little lower than the stock ones
Nice observation, some tweaks done.
nice video guys, true short and entertaining,, no abs, no slipper clutch on a 4 lac bike, are they serious!
Unfortunately they are.
whatever other people say.....but i love your channel!!
i love the series like you do the FANBOY,DRAGRACING. KEEP IT UP GUYS!!!
Thank you buddy for the support.
Bro what mileage do you expect from a 300cc bike, it is dual channel abs bro it work on both front and rear wheel, nice bot content👍🫡
All these are like little unimportant reasons. Seat uncomfortable? If I'm spending a couple thousand on a bike seat is probably not gonna be on the top of my list
Hey....I am confused between Dominor and RC 390 which should I go for....?
Rc 390
Neither, go for the 2017 KTM Duke 390.
Is it true that this bike discontinued in India???
after you mock yamaha r3 and still you are asking for 5,000 likes?!!!
Looking for a budget-minded sport bike to buy as my first bike. Was looking at this one but it seems to have poor reviews, anyone have any suggestions to look at that have this style and look as cool?
R3 owner here, even though it doesnt have USD or abs or slipper clutch, its an awesome bike to own. why you guys are not talking about the maintenance ? the routine service costs less than 3k . can these rivals even imagine that thing ? and the spare parts costs around 1/10 of that of ninja or benelli. when you make a stupid video like this, keep everything checked.
Eagerly awaiting for 2018 r3 review!!
Which bike to buy r15v3 and pulshar rs200
I've just been reading through this comment section because I don't have anything better to do and it's so sad to see that instead of taking valid criticisms from people who took the time to watch your content you just toss everything aside and revert to calling them fan boys which somehow negates any arguments. It's quite childish, to be perfectly honest.
You can say anything about the bike to defend it's short coming but you can't deny or justify the price at 4Lkh for a locally assembled motorcycle considering you'll be spending more for registration and insurance. And by the way the price will likely be increasing with the new version with all it's update on a day and age where the Ninja 300 is starting to be affordable with it's decrease in price even after getting a major update which is ABS
Thank you.
I feel like u ppl started asking for likes rather than concentrating upon the quality reviewing. May be u don't have to ask for that openly if it is there. Anyways keep it going👍
We ask for likes because readers aren't generous enough to give it on their own.
hey those clutchless shifts on the topspeed run is that harmful to the bike?
No it's not.
which is the best bike under 10lacs to buy in india ?
Kawasaki Ninja 650.
waiting for same negative videos for Bajaj bikes..hope u guys are working on it..
We are, wait for it.
