Yamaha MT-03 : For biking enthusiasts craving raw power and head-turning style, the Yamaha MT-03 is here to dominate Indian roads. Part of Yamaha’s popular MT (Master of Torque) series, this naked streetfighter blends R3-derived performance with aggressive styling, making it an instant hit among young riders.
Engine & Performance: Pure Adrenaline
The MT-03 packs a 321cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine (same as the YZF-R3) that delivers:
41.4 BHP power & 29.5 Nm torque (BS6-compliant)
6-speed gearbox for smooth, controlled acceleration
Lightweight 167 kg chassis for agile handling
14L fuel tank – perfect for long rides & city commutes
Whether you’re filtering through traffic or hitting open highways, the MT-03 offers thrilling performance at every twist of the throttle.
Design: Aggressive Streetfighter Stance
The MT-03 stands out with its muscular, futuristic looks:
Sharp LED headlight with DRLs (like its bigger MT siblings)
Exposed twin-cylinder engine for a rugged appeal
Side-slung exhaust for a sporty profile
Two bold color options – Cyan Blue & Midnight Black
Features & Tech: Premium Yet Practical
Yamaha hasn’t cut corners on features:
Full-LED lighting (headlamps, taillights, indicators)
Digital instrument cluster (speedometer, trip meter, gear position, fuel gauge)
Comfortable upright riding posture (unlike aggressive sports bikes)
Dual-channel ABS for added safety
Price & Competition: Is It Worth It?
Priced at ₹3.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the MT-03 competes with:
KTM 390 Duke (more power but harsher ride)
BMW G 310 R (premium badge but less exciting)
Kawasaki Z400 (similar specs but pricier)
Verdict: If you want a reliable, well-balanced streetfighter with Yamaha’s proven engineering, the MT-03 is a strong buy.
