To offer R3 without even slipper clutch is criminal and you can even sacrifice ABS at this point... Keep sayin R3 is legendary... it's OLD and OUTDATED, that's what it is now... People gettin triggered when faced with facts

I own the BS4 R3 for 5 years now. I paid 3.96 L OTR in Chennai and in 2018 it was expensive for me compared to the localized Ninja300. I have clocked 80000 kms and it only broke down 2 times. Once was my fault because I didn't check the battery and other was a switch issue at around 70000 kms. That's what you pay for - Reliability. Until and unless you own a R3, you will not understand and value this point. I mostly tour on the R3. Most owners in India use it as a sports tourer and that's why reliability is super important. I have taken the bike to remote places without any fear. A quick point on service costs - general service is between 3500 - 4500 ₹. It's an easy bike to work upon by yourself. Bike's design is very smart. Takes literally 10 minutes to change air filter. In some bikes it may take up to 40 minutes. Getting major parts takes time because it's imported from Indonesia. Loved this video! Cheers AutoX team!

Last month, I picked up the N500 here in Bangalore. After owning the 2017R3 and the Versys 650, I knew I had to stick with the Japanese big four for their unbeatable reliability and extensive service network. One thing that often gets overlooked in reviews is the fantastic network of Kawasaki riders across India. These guys are all over WhatsApp, Telegram, and other chat groups, and they really enhance your biking experience. It's not just about the bike itself; it's about the community. Whether you need breakdown assistance, route advice, or just want to connect with fellow riders, this network has got your back, making every ride more enjoyable and stress-free. Now, about Aprilia-sure, their performance and specs are tempting, but they still have to prove themselves when it comes to reliability and quality. It’s easy to get dazzled by the numbers, but I'm sticking with a brand that I know won’t let me down.

My bad on the Thailand/Indonesia thing. Apologies for that. We didn’t include fuel efficiency in the video because we don’t think it’s a deal breaker for any of these bikes, and it was more or less the same for all. If you want numbers, the Yamaha returned around 28km/l, Kawasaki around 25km/l & Aprilia 23km/l. The Aprilia was ridden the hardest of the three though & it also has the smallest tank.

Nice review and covered most of the relevant points. Appreciate the fact that you took pains to show us the headlight illumination in night - These kind of things are difficult to know - as most reviews don't cover it and a simple test ride won't tell u these things. I had BS4 Yamaha R3 - that came with Metzeler tyres and dual channel ABS. It was indeed an epic bike - I would enjoy it most on wide open highways where it could easily cruise between 140-150kmph whenever conditions permitted that and it was super fun doing that on R3. The exhaust note was addictive.The thing I missed on R3 was the lack of low end grunt. I switched to BMC air filter and that improved low end to some extent but still not to the point of satisfaction. the biggest advantage of both Aprilia and Ninja 500 over R3 is that they pack a lot of grunt even at low RPMs compared to R3.

Interesting differences for the US model Ninja/Z 500 Kawasaki's. Here the motor is rated at 51bhp or approximately 6 additional over the A2 version it appears you also get. Curious if you think that would have affected your comparative conclusions?

6bhp would not make any difference in the overall riding experience. The Ninja 500 is a relaxed sports tourer, so the inherent nature of the motorcycle won't change. That's what I believe. :)

The ninja 500 is the best competitor to the rs 457. The r3 is more comparable to the rc390. 400cc and 300cc have become two completely different categories. 🕉️

Hi there! We did mention the brakes at around 11:10 & 16:50. Just a quick roundup - the Ninja has very progressive brakes with great feel and bite. The RS 457 feels more aggressive but not as consistent. The R3 has a very balanced approach compared to the two. You won't have any problem with the Ninja and R3 in day to day riding while the RS 457 might fall behind a little. 🙂

All very nice, but for me, I’m sold on the Aprilia based on performance, looks and tech. I’d rather spend a little more and buy an Aprilia RS660 though. Great review! 👍🏼

Hi people I really need help, So i have a dominar 400 for my usual daily commute and weekend rides that happen once every 2 months. And i really want to get a sports bike. But the issue is when will i even use it, as for trips dominar really is comfortable along with pillion or luggage. I really like rs457 but I can’t take it on my trips and even i wouldn’t use it in city cause that would be a wasted potential. So the question is should i listen to my heart and go for it, or just take a smaller sports bike like a r15 and use it in city and keep dominar for trips. I really fancy the idea of a sports bike and even had cbr650r in my mind but i am not able to find a use case as my dominar really is covering a hell lot of ground(i hate and love it for that). I really thought it would be easy to just get what you like, well seems the maturing up is getting to me. Any suggestions are welcome Thankyou.

@shivank_bhatt

Pick the Aprilia if you want full sports bike experience, it’s manageable in the city and occasional weekend rides. But if you want more comfort, the Ninja 500 is the better bet. R15 would feel underpowered compared to the Dominar. The CBR650R is a good option, too, but you won’t find a used bike easily, and even if you do it won’t come cheap. Better to buy new.

Good to watch a video without bias to see comparisons. Many of us are biased. Have Ninja 400. Tend to stick with Kawasaki, and the Ninja has 40 years, and the 1st to produce the smaller bore sporty entry level bikes. Typical of Kawasaki, they're raw. Run forever, powerhouse motors, but Kawasaki is not concerned with creature comforts and has odd styling, lol. Have several Kawasaki's. Kids had little KX dirtbikes, and race Kawasaki ATV's and have had several models. So I'm biased and just stick to what I know, what I know how to work on, and know that Kawasaki is simply minded on parts. I.e., rear Master Cylinder and reservoir is the same from 1978 to current, for dirt or street. Kawasaki Ninja is super comfortable to ride whether in town, through some twisty's, or out on the highway, but.... The seat sucks on the other hand. Kawasaki.... Lol.
