2017 Yamaha YZF-R3[edit | edit source]
Yamaha has avoided the entry-level sport bike market. That changed with the 2015 YZF-R3. The YZF-R3 is a sporty, light, fun, and reasonably priced bike that’s ready for the street or the track. Comparable to the Kawasaki Ninja 300, Honda CBR300R, and KTM’s RC390, the YZF-R3 is a basic sport motorcycle. As such, it doesn’t feature different ride modes, a fancy dashboard, or damping adjustments on the rear suspension. Despite all of that, at $4,990, you still get a smooth riding, light, and nimble bike that is comfortable on the street and fun on the track.
