2020 Yamaha MT-03 Video Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Yamaha tells us cheap, small-bike sales are booming, okay, not booming, but not in the tank as much as other bike sales. So, they needed something to compete with the Kawasaki Z400, the KTM 390 Duke, etc… and the MT-03 is it. Not just based upon the YZF-R3 but pretty much the same bike with the fairing removed, MT-03 differences are restricted to a steel handlebar mounted in rubber instead of clip-ons, slightly softer damping in its 37mm inverted fork, and no more full fairing. For a mere $4,699, it’s a very perky and even attractive little package.

After 35 years racing/riding bikes I am now content with my Mt03.Its just so perfect,perfect balance,perfect engine,just perfect everything.
What the price model ur using and where u live
awesome hearing VERY experienced riders praise this bike. My understanding is that it is like the Miata of bikes. Very light, very agile, very quick, and just built right.
Thanks fro asking this video because I've been looking in to buying this motorcycle as my first bike and his video has helped a-ton. Thanks man keeping doing what your doing.
I appreciate the clear, straightforward review - coupled with professional non-shaky camera work. Seems like a great starter bike, but I really do wish that the headlight array was larger to make the bike more visible in daytime traffic. The headlight design itself is cool, but just too small. Otherwise, I consider it to be a very sharp looking bike, especially in all black. This one is on my list.
Nice review, thank you. One thing I'd like future videos to feature is the sound of the exhaust high in the rev range. I know the R3 sounds good up there, so it's likely this is the same, but it would be good to cover. I could hear what it sounds like low in the rev range, which is really useful, because that's a feature I like for riding in town. I think you have the music and sound levels just right in this video, nice production.
"Journeyman apprentice of torque. " I love it!
Nice modest, very respectful presentation. Thank you loved the video. I think this bike is also great for beginners and advanced riders. Affordable!
This man is the most relaxed motorcycle reviewer
I wish to see a comparison between Mt 03 and the cb 300r
Couple of tweaks to the intake and exhaust and power commander and this will change it completely, maybe go nuts with a cam job and over bore. These new small cc bikes are a blast to ride wide open. After 36 years in the saddle I find these to be a lot of fun and major improvements over the years just make that all the more enjoyable
John on top form as always. Love the humour, your sarcasm is borderline British lol
Burnsie for President... because he still makes good sense and has a sense of humor about his "shortcomings". Gotta love a test by John. No BS. No fluffing.
New subscriber here from Philippines thanks for the outstanding video of motorcycle review your review inspire me. you gain my approval over and out 🏍️
Great review 👍👍😎
That was a good review. I appreciate the old guy perspective.
Great review thank you
A great video of a good looking Yamaha that would fit most all riders, myself included. Love the straight forward review, with some humour about your age. ^^
Been a fan of Motorcyclist magazine since ‘86-ish and always remembered your reviews, articles and stories Mr Burns. ^^ I think the funniest thing I ever seen you involved in was when you did the drunk riding experiment, amd during the story, you signed your name as “Burnt”… 😂😜
Upon seeing the video, I was like… Hey I remember Burns… let’s see what he’s doing… ^^
All ya need now is Nick Ienatsch, and Siobahn… ^^
Cheers and God Bless… ^^
Just got one of these for my wife. Don't let displacement fool you, these bikes are VERY fun.
What are your wife’s complaints about the bike? Anything you guys wish could have been improved?
nice review, sir
Outstanding video! :)
Surprisingly good looking!
Good entry bike,tnx for video guys
I would have died to have this as my starter bike!
You can still do it
@@smayansapre5396 ummm how lol, he probably already had a starter bike
@@Ahmed-jv7oc well he could write down that he wants a mt03 hit his head ,get amnesia, find the note, buy a mt03 and then shut you're face up
@@smayansapre5396 guess that works
That thing is sick af
Mini torque serie. Nice looking bike, great choice for beginners. I would go for Mt-09 after this one.
Mgjvhfy Fdjindez for just over $4000 at actual dealer cost this could easily be paid with cash. Drive it for 2 years then upgrade to a bigger bike
Really beautiful small bike!!!!
Thanks for the video but do stay safe.
Many people say the Z400 is the better buy and bang for your buck, but this looks so much better and the Z400 looks ugly to me.
I’d love a review on the 2020 Kawasaki Z650
Desperately waiting for it to be launched here in India.
Good video and thanx for the info. I am a beginner rider and I'm torn between the KTM 390 duke and the Yamaha MT-03. Can't make up my mind on which bike to get. Stay safe and stay healthy
Joshua Pequeno if you care about costs, go for the mt03 which is cheap to maintain. Otherwise the 390 duke has a bit more power and torque but cost more and maintenance is a bit pricey too
@@IvanRides I didn't know that about the ktm. Thank u for the info.
@@joshuapequeno10 I really hope you got the mt03!!
It's rumored that this is gonna be launched in India soon....
An here I am planning to buy it 3 years later..
Great video thanks :)
If you were choosing between this and an R3 which would you pick?
In Bangladesh We Only Have 165 cc Limit. Very Sad For Us. I Love MT Series Very Much And I Also Use MT 15. I wish One Day There Are No CC Limitation In Our Country.
Love the way this guy talks
"SMACKING" his lips?
@@YESTWENTYONEWINS nah, the guy seems humble and kind, its entertaining to hear him talk, especially this part - 1:34 "those guys are saying"
Was set on the Z400, but dam this looks nicer imo 🧐
I wish us in the uk and Europe could start on a 300 rather than 125 gonna just have to wait to a2
Wouldn’t recommend moving around too much. Nice review, stay safe
Fun behind the scenes fact! This was unscripted! /s
I'm mostly just messing around but yea pretty sure this is unscripted hence the meandering dialog, but it's still one of the better reviews out there!
I am planning to upgrade from Duke 200 ABS to a motorcycle under 400 CC, should I go for MT 03 or Duke 390? what would you recommend from the overall riding experience perspective? Looks-wise I am ok with both.
I Started with the Honda cb300r and just switched over to the yamaha mt03. I am glad I did, more power smooth throttle, and just a much better feel. Don't get me wrong I loved the cb300r, but I am loving the mt03 even more. Labeling these bikes as beginning bikes is understandable, however I feel like you could really get in trouble on the mto3 if you are not careful. Also I have heard numerous reports that the ktm 390 is not reliable. A few reviews have said they have issues. But you have the 200 so you would know more about it's reliability than me.
The exactly words that i was looking for, beginners, learn, soft 👌 coincidence?
Nice and interesting bike. "If I had known..." -where on the planet could you have been not to know?
I loved it. ❤️❤️I'm from India but I want to buy the same bike from international market.What is the process and approximately cost?
Just ordered one of these babies ;)
How would you compare the wet multi plate clutch of the MT03 to a bike with an assist slipper clutch? Like Ninja 400 or CFMOTO 300NK? Is it that noticeable of a difference?
I like small bikes, but then again literally 99.5% of my riding is in the city just commuting.
Hi sir 👋 am from India and awaiting for this bike... You have explained nicely about all the things... But I wanted to know if this bike is good for long rides.... For example 3000km to 6000km... What u say ?
If it comes to india yamaha infia will remove suspension , brake , abs , and indicators
By "No TFT" display did John mean high resolution color display? Because i am pretty sure I saw a display when John said that.
It's a display but not a TFT. I guess it's more of a monochrome LCD. A TFT is a type of LCD, but not all LCDs are TFT
Can you please review the Duke 390 (2020)
I wish yamaha will get this motor cycle to India someday
Eagerly waiting mt03 to launch in India.
Greatest beginner bike riding it at 17
Still waiting for the XSR version of this ;-)
Cool bike, but is it just me, or is the headlight way too small?
ugly, its so small its directly ugly... its like a phoneapp pic that pinches your face into a beak!
Nope. You're not alone. The headlight and front fork is kinda small for it's body. Unlike cb300r it looks more masculine than this mt03.
The headlight is awesome!!! Yamaha finally did away with their giant yellow dangly turn signals too! It's a miracle
You know the bike is perfect when people complain about the size of the headlight
@@yvonjasser The headlights are one of the best parts too. Makes no sense to me. The little slits look futuristic and aggressive. Who wants a giant harley wannabe single front headlight or some ugly GSXR shield lookng thing like on the BMW G 300?
What part of Cali are you and From
Great video! The hell with Codvic
waiting for this to launch in india😇
me too bro! ❤️
Feb 2021
@@KunalMukherjee3701 are u sure?
@@prabhathk6175 looks like Yamaha won't launch that after all in India 😭
@@KunalMukherjee3701Even if its launched the price would go more than 3 lakhs. Market is already filled with Duke 390,Apache rr310, BMW g310 and Dominar 400 is there at even lower price
I dig this motorcycle!
1:50 "That guy with blue shirt is me"😑
ahahah.. How nice..
That's great
So i had a 300cc single honda cbr300r And taking it on the freeway was dangerous, revving its ass off and could not keep 70mph, this being a twin although still 300cc is it
Any better??
I will wait from India bro
Perfect.
Waiting for its launch in India...
All these Sallies should get off of John's case. He's maintaining 6' distance. It's more risky going grocery shopping. Why SHOULDN'T he ride and review motorcycles? Besides, entertainment is a critical industry, when the rest of us are at home, right?
I'm glad we're finally seeing some *realistic* smallbore bikes. 250s don't cut it unless they're high strung. 300-400cc is the right range for a beginner bike in the USA; we have to be able to maintain 75 mph without being right at redline. I wouldn't look down on old brakes, but would adjustable levers really break the bank?
I would take this over a 390 thumper Duke. Would be a tough call between this and the Versys 300, with its plush suspension and a bit more wind protection...
Can somebody help me which one is better R3 or MT03??
Stay safe, boys and girls
Why the stoplamp hasn't changed 🤔🤔🤔
Looks good. But i like more the cb300r look.
Don't like that front end. If they revised that front end and gave it shorter gearing, it would be much improved
I'am liking Yamaha bikes tho and i like to ride the naked bikes such as this one, i like the design of this bike, except i don't like the look of the headlights, it kinda small by the looks of it
Please mention specification.
very informative review..
#MyDreamBike😊🙏
hello is it comfortable as a motorcycle? is your back comfortable?
👑
Neat bike,wish it came in YAMAHA blue !! ✌
Planning to get either this or the Kawasaki z400 as my very first bike. I also kinda like the looks of the Honda rebel and the Vulcan.
Compared this one to the Honda Rebel 500 yesterday, I moulded to this one, not so much the Rebel
They could have had a hit here if they had put a 270 degree crank in this motor. 180 carbon parallels just sound terrible.
I will this one
Mileage?
MasterTorque
Just one small correction 😁
The smallest member of the mt family is mt-15
There is MT 125 also
He’s speaking of the American market, which is where his company is based. We don’t get the mt-15 here in America.
mt 03 is my favourite more than r3 Mt03 is something just my kind of street bike
Where is single seat ?
consumption??
i dont like what they did on its rear end..i think its better if they made it shorter not that kind of and sportbike look..
can this bike sustain 80 mph on the Highway I live in Florida and that's pretty much the minimum speed to keep up with traffic.
Top speed is above 100mph, so I'm sure it can keep 80mph going no problem.
R3 better for freeways.
very very beautiful
I just rode one today fuckin loved it
In the UK this is selling poorly, as most riders young and older after passing full motorbike license jump straight from 125cc to 600-1200 cc, every one wants to be the fastest even beginner riders.
Ficou esquisita e linda ao mesmo tempo. 😍
Great funny video 👍
Saw it at 10 seconds
They need to put a 270 crank in these things.
Ikr
The head just feels too tiny compared to the tail man
Agreed. The headlight ruins the look.
Mileage
Abs??
why doesnt the mt09 and 10 have this styling so much better
this is better than those two in looks
@Motorcycle.com should've edited out that opening scene: "were not going to let some little global pandemic keep us from....".
As an editor/journalist the presenter should've had more discretion for the situation. Your own words state you already knew it was a global pandemic.
Other than that, nice bike!

Not surprising considering reviewer
Stop being a snowflake
People aren't taking this seriously complete bs
@@dennisritchie965 coming from a guy with the name dezz nutts
Lighten up. Don't believe the hype and don't spread the psuedo-fear.
Basically a naked R3
How fast can this bike go MPH ?
Should do 110 mph full throttle in 6th gear on a long stretch.
Chaseontwowheels took it up to 102mph.
