2016-Yamaha-YZF-R3 Matt-Grey

Yamaha has introduced new graphics for it’s YZF-R3 motorcycle in Europe, apart from a new Matt Grey paint-job, highlighted with minimal red detailing. The latter also gets gloss black wheels finished with a red lip. The popular blue and white colour scheme (Race Blu) also gets slightly tweaked graphics which involve less fuss.  It also appears that the Midnight Black colour scheme has been discontinued, at least in Europe. Apart from the YZF-R3, both the R125 and R6 also benefit from revamped graphics.

There’s no word yet on when India will receive the updated graphics, along with the tasty new paint-job. The new Yamaha YZF-R3 retails for INR 3.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), and is powered by a newly developed 321 cc, inline two-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine cradled within a lightweight chassis. The R3 delivers 42PS of power and 29.6Nm of torque and is mated to a constant mesh, 6-speed transmission. Read our detailed track review of the Yamaha R3 here.
