Yamaha R3 & MT-03
The Yamaha R3 is the flagship sports motorcycle by the Japanese two-wheeler maker in India. The Yamaha M1 inspires this fully-faired motorcycle and features an aerodynamic design.

Verdict
The Yamaha flagship motorcycles in India have not received a good response due to their high price tag and lack of features. With the price drop of Rs 1.10 lakh on the existing ex-showroom price may attract some customers towards the motorcycles but they still lack many of features which are common in this segement. Even more affordable motorcycles are now offering those features.
