Asked by: Sayanon Nov 2, 2025

Iโ€™m 5โ€ฒ4โ€ณ tall, medium build, weigh less than 65 kg, and have an inseam of maybe 30-31โ€ณ (not sure). My budget is up to โ‚น4 lakh (India). I want a sport bike (not a naked bike) and I have shortlisted the Yamaha YZFโ€‘R3. Should I go for it or are there other options I should consider? Also, when will the 2025 R3 launch in India?

The Yamaha R3 is a good though a little dated - option if youโ€™re looking for a sport bike in this class. Itโ€™s now even more appealing after the recent price drop post GST 2.0.

Another solid choice to consider is the KTM RC 390. Despite using the older 373 cc engine, itโ€™s still a fast, capable, and exciting machine to ride.

If youโ€™re open to stretching your budget a bit, take a look at the Kawasaki Ninja 500. It may be quite expensive for its class, but itโ€™s a sweet, capable, and reliable bike that can serve you well for many years.

Asked by: Manoj Patilon Sep 18, 2025

My budget for a new bike is โ‚น6-7 lakh. Iโ€™m considering the Yamaha R3. Are there any other options? My priorities are reliability, mileage, looks, and refinement.

The Yamaha R3 is a proven and reliable choice in your budget, and with the new GST rules, it has become more affordable. Another capable, though slightly pricier option is the Kawasaki Ninja 500.
The Ninja 500 builds upon the strengths of the Ninja 400 and should be a capable machine. Both these Japanese sportbikes are likely to last you a long time without any hassles (provided you service them regularly) and will also stand out on the road owing to their low sales volumes.
