I sat on one of these at a dealer, the amazing thing is its as light as a mountain bike. Feels 100lbs less than my old Ninja 250. Beginners these days are spoiled with bikes like this. Plenty of power for modern traffic and a decent amount of tech for the price. Makes me want to buy one of these 300s,even though I don't need one 😂

@@NMa-be8ru Dude. Amazing. I had to ride it 6 hours home from where I bought it over some country roads. It took me around.... 30 minutes? An hour? To finally start feeling comfortable. She sits at 130 (80 mph) very comfortably. It'll go up to 160 (100 mph) almost on accident. Top speed I've gotten to was 180 (111 mph). I feel like I could get a bit more out of it but I don't think it would hit 200. It's nimble. Quick. The whole bike just feels like a brand new luxury car. It shifts so perfectly I have never felt it before. Maybe it's just because it's such a new bike. I just took a 15 hour road trip with a backpack. I did 160 the whole way. The bike loved every second. Admittedly it does start to make you need to stretch. Your legs will be bent quite a bit and it becomes noticeable after an hour of riding. In town you'd never feel it. 350 km on one tank. Maybe more i never really pushed it down to the fuel light. But 15 dollars to fill up. 💪🤟 I absolutely can't stand being in cars now. Driving them or passenger. Motorcycles are so much better it's insane.

Versus the R3; The MT has no clip-on handles and the bar is set a tad higher (purposely) for a more upright , less full tuck position. Shorter gearing especially 1-2. Brakes don’t bite as much. Loves 7k+ RPM. the horn is in a strange place and takes getting used to. Yamaha reliability. Won’t break down or have high operation costs like a Duke. If Yamaha came out with a MT-05 they would be gaining a big following as well

Save those pennies. It'll be worth it. Just about any of the 300 class bikes are a hoot around town with the twins (kawi/yamaha) being especially good in that they work decently well on the highway too. And being that so many people hold onto a bigger is better mentality you can find them second hand, but virtually new, for significantly less than the MSRP. The 300/400s i think are the ultimate commuter machines. 50-60mpg if your not totally beating on them, cheap long lasting tires, regular gas, super nimble in town. If you can get over the lack of outright acceleration they're super fun.

This is not a new model; Yamaha have been making it a few years now, and fortunately new rider's penchant for buying brand new motorcycles for their first bike, justifying that they'll keep it forever means there's always be a crap load of beginner bikes barely ridden less than 3 years old to pick from.

I love the MT-03! Had one of these two years ago, second hand, as a beginner bike becuase it was my first "vehicle" that I was learning a manual on and for newer riders who feel pressured to get a bigger bike becuase they are afraid that this thing is underpowered and won't be as fun as you get more experienced is absolutely false. There is something that is just so satisfying about banging gears in a smaller CC engine out and tossing it through the corners. Think about it like this, the Mazda Miata caters to a different audience then say a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

But I don't ride very enthusiastically, if I'm honest. Anyway, this has to be the best and funniest Daily Rider I've seen! Thanks for this, Zack! Cheers from Brazil!

Always excellent. Still "my" reference. Always a pleasure to watch. As usual, very professional and out of the ordinary of other motorcycle tests. I really like your "adolescent" side, which I've always kept. Keep up the good work! Thank you so much!

nice to see your videos and am glad that you and ari are gainfully employed during these times.

I was about to take my mt03 out tonight to try the launch control. Almost had me! Thanks for the good review.

The best part of this review was explaining how to activate the launch control. Actually, my first and only street bike was a Yamaha XS400SG. This is, of course, a better bike but that size bike can do nearly anything a big honker can do. I took my bike on camping trips, day trips, commute, dates, etc....It did everything quite well. I did get rid of the fake 'Harley' bars and went more of bend like is on this bike. Besides, that? It's a great size, especially newer riders. Its fast enough, it's light enough, and cheap enough to learn and have a ball while you're doing it.

Thanks for the entertaining videos! Glad you are BACK!! It don't matter what bike you review; your videos are always great. I hope you are getting paid a lot! Cheers!

Solid variety of bikes featured so far, I look forward to that continuing with bigger tourers, cruisers (Rebel 500 or Yamaha Bolt to keep it 'commuter size'), and then some wildcards like the XADV. Keep 'em coming Zack

Really love what you're doin here Zack...Keep it up!!!

I hate to think what a world without Zack's reviews would be like. It would definitely be a dull world. Can't imagine anyone else who makes getting lost on a bike so entertaining.

Now that is what I call a full and comprehensive review unlike the 5 min review other so called "Reviewers' do

I love that you take just about anything out in these videos. Not everyone has the money or experance to commute on a Superduke.

Had an R3 for a while and have test rode these. I really love these smaller bikes

I'm really impressed with this review especially that you took it off road kinda deal.. not many do such a review or put a true value this due to height per ryder.. RevZilla never lets me down whether looking at things on their website or youtube videos.. A +++ .. I love the launch control settings ahahaha
