Yamaha has confirmed that it will roll out the R3 and MT-03 in India by the end of this year.

The Yamaha R3 is a fully-faired sports bike that borrows styling cues from other big bikes in Yamaha's line-up. The MT-03 is the naked streetfighter version of the R3 and offers a more upright riding position.

The Yamaha R3 and MT-03 share the same engine. Both bikes come powered by a 321cc parallel-twin engine that produces 41 BHP @ 10,750 rpm and 29.6 Nm @ 9,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

The bikes are equipped with an upside telescopic fork at the front and a mono-shock at the rear. The brake setup consists of a 298 mm disc at the front and a 220 mm rotor at the rear.

In India, the Yamaha R3 will compete with the KTM RC 390, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and the likes.
