Yamaha R3 & MT-03 India launch in December

The R3 is expected to rival the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and soon-to-be-launched Aprilia RS 457.

According to a media report, Yamaha is planning to launch the R3 and MT-03 in India this December.

The Yamaha R3 is a fully-faired bike that will be positioned above the YZF R15. It is powered by a 321cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that makes 42 BHP and 29.5 Nm.

The R3 is expected to rival the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and soon-to-be-launched Aprilia RS 457.

The MT-03 is the naked version of the R3. It uses the same 321cc engine and is expected to compete with the KTM Duke 390.

Both models will be sold via Yamaha's premium Blue Square dealerships.
