Despite having same mechanical specifications, these motorcycles have different designs. The YZF-R3 and YZF-R7 are faired bikes, whereas the Yamaha MT-07 and MT-03 are real streetfighters.
The 2023 Yamaha YZF-R3 and MT-03, for those who are unaware, were recently on display at a dealer event in India, done to gauge the response of the crowd, which was rather favourable. At the same event, Yamaha also featured larger motorcycles such the MT-07 and the YZF-R7. In the coming months, it is expected that these larger bikes will enter the Indian market.

The YZF-R3 was available in India till March 2020, when the Japanese brand stopped selling it in India. The R3’s flaw back then, despite acclaim for its strong engine and adaptive attitude, was its astronomical price. This time around, Yamaha will need to set a competitive pricing for the R3.
