The 2021 Yamaha R3 has been revealed for the Japanse market. The updated model gets new colour options. It will go on sale in the Land of the Rising Sun on 15 Jan 2021. Yamaha has targetted to sell 3700 units of the new motorcycle annually. The 2021 Yamaha R3 has been given a price tag of JPY 687,500.
To lure in more buyers, the 2021 Yamaha R3
has been given a new and attractive Cyan colour option. It might not be
everyone’s cup of tea but it will surely be a head-turner. A large percentage
of the twin-cylinder motorcycle’s bodywork is finished in Cyan. There are some
blacked-out parts which enhance the overall visual appeal. The red alloy wheels
demand attention. The graphics of this new colour scheme also gel with the
sporty character of the motorcycle.
Apart from the new Cyan colour option, the
2021 Yamaha R3 will also be available in an updated Matte Black shade. Yamaha
has tinkered around with this paint scheme a little bit for a refreshed look.
There’s also the Deep Purplish Blue Metallic option present in the colour
palette.
Mechanically, the new Yamaha R3 remains
unchanged. It continues to draw power from the same 320cc parallel-twin
liquid-cooled engine. It comes with a DOHC set up along with 4 valves. It has
been tuned to produce 42 PS of max power at 10,750 rpm and 29 Nm of peak torque
at 9,000 rpm. For the transmission, there’s a 6-speed gearbox.
