Yamaha has taken the wraps of the updated R3 for 2025, the entry level sport motorcycle for brand. The R3 continues to be powered by the same 321cc engine.
The updated R3 features looks inspired by the recently unveiled new R1 - with an aggressive new front fairing, sleek new side panels and a sporty new tail section with signature R-series tail wing. A narrower seat and slimmer side covers improve the rider's foot reach to the ground, while new LED single projector-type headlight flanked by aggressive four-element position lights, along with a new LED tail light and turn signals add to the visual drama.
A first for the YZF-R3, the new assist & slipper clutch uses an assist cam and slipper cam.
The 2025 YZF-R3 now features Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect) smartphone connectivity which works in conjunction with the free-of-charge Y-Connect app (available for iOS and Android) to enable a direct connection between motorcycle and smartphone. An all-new LCD instrument cluster now displays connected smartphone information along with vital vehicle data. There is also a new USB-A socket located next to the display providing convenient power for phone charging or heated gear.
