I think YAMAHA is thinking about 20 years ahead like the HeroMotoCorp done with the KARIZMA, so for that very time may be we will not able to ride a bike because of age issue😂
@@burnttoast9890 let me tell you Yamaha service wasfar better as compared to Aprilia imo. I had an r15 v 2 which was as good as new even after 5 years but my SR 150 stops in the middle of the road and refused to start at all. PS: heard sales and service in yamaha blu square is very good, that's where the r3 mt 03 are gonna be sold I think.
If you showed me the previous gen R3 and the current R3 side by side, I'd definitely think the previous gen was the newer model. This latest version seems a bit elementary in comparison.
I love how Yamaha doesnt care about the competition. They know in this world of everchanging technology, some old school riders will not care about a slipper clutch, riding modes and stuff. That they would love to turn back time and resonate with the old analog world. All they would want is a bike with character, a hoot to ride in the city as well as the twisties, with the wind in our hair. Always a Sarge fan 🤟 Always a Yamaha fan.
Yeah being old school is not bad, old doesn't mean bad. But price should also be like the old one then😅 its like charging ninja 500's price for ninja 300
Thanks for the great review Sarge!! I own this 2024 model. Yes, agree it's not a value for money machine. I was trying to choose between Ninja 400 and 2024 R3. I would say it boils down to individual needs. Being a middle aged rider I was looking for a comfortable, light weight, twin cylinder, reliable machine and cheaper to maintain. R3 is a no fancy machine. It's a raw, reliable and rustic machine which does everything what its supposed to do. Service cost is less than 3k for a twin!!! Bliss to ride in city because of its light weight and flickable nature. Highway ride is very poised and extremely balanced even at 160+ speeds. No provision for luggage or pillion comfort. Good FE for a twin about 25-28 average. Gearing is slick and precise. Overall fun machine.
Despite of all its shortcomings, I love this R3. I love the way it looks and love the way it sounds.. I hope Yamaha will update the R3 in 2025. May be a R4 or R5..🤞 Sagar Bhai, your wheelie and Stoppie looks Soooo Good..👌💯
Sagar ji, which one is better between R3 and Ninja 300 in riding joy, engine refinement, reliability, vibrations, heat, braking, ergonomics? R3 has marginally better specs (like ground clearance, cc, torque, power) but much higher on price.
Ninja 300 kinda super old now bru😢 RS457>Ninja 500> Ninja 400> RC390> R3> Ninja 300 For me this should be the order in which you can arrange these bikes( I have only properly ridden rc390/ninja 400 among these😅) R3 has better equipment than ninja 300 but price difference is not justified.
@@SagarVideoWorld ok bro .thank u.. kindly do videos of motorcycle riding in "how to" segment ( cornering, trail braking , power wheelie, stoppie ) ..it will be useful to hear from u for beginners like me
It would be nice if they would have been launching the R6 base model 😊 near abt this price bracket... R6 is also another level ... Unfortunately it is banned in India😞
Still upgrading front suspension headlight and indicators...I think company should go one steps forward and should try to improve more torque and bhp 😅
Yamaha R3, such an amazing retro sports bike😍 But, But But - how did you get this particular variant of Black R3 - in the market we get only the ones with white Stripes on the side🤔 This one is better looking than the ones with the white strips

what do a bowl of ice-cream and sarge's review have in common? they both send chills down my spine! absolutely phenomenal review, as usual. I don't know how you manage to do it, but you've made one of the most plain bikes in the segment look as desirable as a Ducati. Sagar sir you are simply incredible!
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial The analogy was, funnily enough, inspired by the bowl of ice-cream sitting on my desk while watching the review! But yes, happy to spread the word :)
The RC390 ❤, keeping all the negativity for the brand aside KTM has always provided a banger, engineering, accuracy, charector everything it has. I'm not a fan of florescent colour either but other than that RC deserves respect.
Hello Sagar, Like the OLD DESIGN. The new design is Nice. Upside forks in INDIA. One will be going to SERVICE STATION REGULARLY. Great Engine, butter smooth gear box. Breaks are decent to average.

Yamaha has been completely ignoring the 250cc segment since launching FZ25 back in 2017? For India they should've made MT25 and R25 single as well as a completely revised FZ25 keeping in mind Indian budget biker.
Hi I bought myself one of these (the white one ) but I have an issue and asking to see if the one you reviewed has the same issue, near my leg calf the left side I get a lot of heat and if I drive around 20 minutes it's uncomfortable, can you please help me on this issue I am having, thanks.
Yamaha lags in understanding the psychography of Indian riders. Never since RX 100 days Yamaha has attained the same status till date . Why can't it introduce the retro styled SR 250,400 series which is currently the most desirable trend . Thanks Sarge for your inimitable video as always ❤
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I really believe it will continue to disappoint every Yamaha enthusiast, just like the previous generation which didnt offer ABS in its time ,unlike KTM.
I will think twice before buying the Aprilia. Would prefer a reliable machine which will not break down in just 5 years. But of course, TFT display and electro gimmicks would be welcome but their absence won't be a deal breaker Hoping that the RS fares well on the reliability front

Want high revving linear beast, go for r3 Want more power and features and more torque in lower ends go for rs457 Even though initial cost of r3 is high service costs will be damn cheaper.
The r3 is really good looking but even if it is a cbu they should have offered a few more features like a tft cluster Or a gold usd to enhance its look But over all its a good machine (kinda resembles r15 v3 😂)
Is this just me or I find the prefacelift R3s front looks and instrument cluster way way better to look at compared to this. This looks ugly and disproportionate to my eyes 😢
Hi, Sagar. I met you twice in Bangalore (once at 6k and again in Keerthi Triumph). It was thanks to your R3 review with PD in 2015 that I bought the R3 later. I'm more than happy with my R3 and not the biggest fan of the new design. Amazing video and review. Keep the content coming!

I will get a kawasaki bcoz i gave too much respect the Yamaha started to exploit by pricing more not only at sales but even after sales are shocking so i would go for ninja with features.

By the way which part of this bike do factory Yamaha in Japan assume can't be made in India that they ship it CBD?
The title is truly apt Sarge and I doubt Yamaha cares about manufacturing this and MT-03 locally.
