Motorcycle Specification

2015 Yamaha YZF-R3 Specification | Liquid-cooled parallel twin engine, 321cc in displacement with fuel injection is small enough to let even inexperienced drivers enjoy it, and on the other hand, powerful enough to overtake all the grannies on the road. With the constant mesh 6-speed transmission and 68 to 44.1 bore/stroke ratio, 2015 Yamaha YZF-R3 should be able to generate 42 hp and 22 lb-ft of torque. It might seem low, but it is enough for 368-pounder to achieve respectable speed.

For the initial year R3 will be available in three distinctive colorway options which include team Yamaha blue/matte silver, raven and rapid red. Chassis is contemporary-looking and worthy of a sports bike, even much larger one. 41mm KYB fork provides the body for suspension, while brakes are rotor and two-piston caliper, 298 mm in diameter up front, and 220 mm out back. Seat is positioned at 30.7-inches from the ground, while 10-spoke wheels and 17-inch tires have 54.3 inches between them. Instrument panel features a compact LCD display with a multifunction meter that includes analog tachometer and digital speedometer, gear-position indicator, fuel capacity, fuel economy, water temp, a clock, two trip meters and an oil change indicator light among others. Yamaha YZF-R3 2015 is not a cruiser or touring bike and thus doesn’t get many safety options. One of the reasons for that is also the fact that it is an affordable two-wheeler.
