R World is Calling

New generation R-Series styling, advanced twin cylinder engine and ultra-light chassis—the perfect entry into R World.

New Generation R-Series Styling

Inspired by the flowing aerodynamics of Yamaha's YZR-M1 MotoGP® race bike, the new 2025 YZF-R3's distinctive R-Series pedigree is recognizable at a glance with its aggressive new front fairing, sleek new side panels and a sporty new tail section with signature R-series tail wing.

Modern LED Lighting

New LED lighting adds a more modern look, including a new single projector-type headlight flanked by four-element position lights, along with a new LED tail light and turn signals.

Smartphone Connectivity

The 2025 YZF-R3 now features Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect) smartphone connectivity which works in conjunction with the free-of-charge Y-Connect app (available for iOS and Android) to enable a direct connection between motorcycle and smartphone. Y-Connect capability for the R3 includes the ability to view incoming call, email and message notifications. Additional useful functions include monitoring and notifying the rider or other contact of motorcycle technical issues, and also the ability to track and record key motorcycle ride data within the app, including distance covered, fuel consumption, acceleration, motorcycle location and much more.

New LCD Display

An all-new LCD instrument cluster now displays connected smartphone information along with vital vehicle data. There is also a new USB-A socket located next to the display providing convenient power for phone charging or heated gear

New Assist & Slipper Clutch

A first for the YZF-R3, the new Assist & Slipper clutch utilizes an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever for less hand fatigue.
