The YFZ-R3 is powered by a Smooth, strong 321cc, 2-Cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valves parallel twin motor that is mated to a six-speed transmission. In international markets, the engine is tuned to churn out 42 Ps of power @ 10,750 rpm and 29.6 Nm of torque @ 9,000 rpm. The Indian version may get a slightly de-tuned engine due to bad quality fuel. The bike comes with large disc brakes at both ends and ABS will be fitted as standard equipment.

The YZF-R3 will be available in three colour options namely Red, Blue, and Black.

The Yamaha YZF-R3 will compete with the likes of Kawasaki Ninja 300, KTM RC390 and Benelli TNT 300 and the Hyosung GT250R.
