Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R3 2025

It's fun - that's how short and concise a summary can be. The new Yamaha R3 is a bike that doesn't overtax anyone and is still fun even for experienced riders. The engine has plenty of power and is well setup, the suspension is just the right size - the same applies to the brakes. This is how smooth and harmonious an A2 sports motorbike can be.

Good ergonomics - also for taller riders

good engine

quickshifter optionally available

easy handling

surprisingly good suspension

good features and very sporty look

high build quality

LCD display only, the little sister R125 already has a TFT dashboard

optional quickshifter could work more finely
