Yamaha MT-03

The 2023 Yamaha MT-03 is Yamaha's entry-level street-naked bike for the North American market. It shares the same transformer-like styling as other higher-capacity 'MT' models in Yamaha's lineup and is based on the Yamaha YZF-R3. The 2023 MT-03 has no major changes from the previous year's model, which is expected since it was recently introduced.

The MT-03 is powered by the same 321cc parallel-twin engine as the YZF-R3, making 41.4 horsepower and a compression ratio of 11.2:1. For a smaller displacement bike, it offers impressive fuel efficiency, with Yamaha claiming it can hit 20 km/L for the 2023 model year.

The MT-03 stays true to its roots with a wide handlebar and a tank design for a comfortable riding position. It features a 298mm front disc brake, 220mm rear disc, and standard ABS. Additionally, the bike is equipped with LED headlight, tail light, and indicators.
