Yamaha MT-03 (spy shot)
This much
anticipated Yamaha MT-03 testing on Indian roads for the first time. Reports
have said that the MT-03 will not come to India, but these spyshots add a new
twist to this tale.
The Yamaha MT-03
measures 2,090 mm in length, 745 mm in width and 1,035 mm in height, has a
wheelbase of 1,380 mm, a ground clearance of 160 mm and seat height of 780 mm.
The styling does borrow some cues from the Yamaha R3, for instance the part
analogue, part digital instrument cluster and rear end.
The MT-03 is powered by the same 321 cc
liquid-cooled in-line two-cylinder engine that powers the R3. It produces 42 PS at 10,750 rpm and 29.6 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm, and sends torque
via a 6-speed transmission.
The Yamaha MT-03, if localized, would be less
expensive than the YZF-R3, which is priced at INR 3.25 lakh (ex-showroom
Delhi). It will rival other street fighters like the Benelli TNT300, Kawasaki
Z250 and the upcoming BMW G310R.
