As one of the YZF-R series, the 2019 YAMAHA YZF-R3 has just received a similar full model change after that of the R25 about 3 months later. I had a test riding on the R3, especially focusing on standard-equipped radial tires that had not been adopted to the R25. These radial tires brought me an overwhelming benefit. I felt a sense of safety while braking hardly and a high-performanced grounding while banking after braking. It would have been just a right choice to decide to equip radial tires.

The YZF-R3 started selling in the domestic market in April 2015, equipped with a 320cc liquid-cooled inline twin cylinder engine with a bore 8mm wider than that of the YZF-R25 on the common chassis with the R25. The 2019 model has gone through a similar minor change to the R25. Any engine specification such as the maximum output power of 42 ps has not been changed from the former model. But it is quite different from the R25 to equip radial tires originally. Both the new R3 and the R25 are 32,400 yen higher than the former, so that the R3 might have a high cost performance.
