I can understand your sarcasm
Why would you even buy the R3 ? If it's touring friendly why not buy an adventure bike? If it's comfortable for city driving, why buy an R3 of all other bikes ?

@@BlackHawkTejasyou may check out the Motorinc podcast talking about how the Japanese philosophy of manufacturing and updating/upgrading items places shackles of bureaucracy and inertia on genuinely world class fantastic products. Their way of thinking is like why to update it if it's working, which, is correct for some duration of product lifecycle, but over the long term, competitors catch up to the level and eventually overtake them. R3 isn't going to make much of a sense, provided some individual buys it for what it currently is. Reliability can be 100/100 but there are other aspects also wherein the R3 falls short not because it is poorly made, but the fact that it's manufacturer is seemingly stubborn enough to make any significant change.

@@rikupatra1452 huh?? I'm not into this racing genre dynamic bikes, I love cruisers, I already own a Harley 48, it's best for me, we see here comparison between the r3 and rs 457, where to be clean and honest in clean slate it's the Aprilia here.
Much needed comparison to those who even remotely considered the R3. Its ex showroom price has to be its onroad price to be honest... Sadly no. As far as I see, good fuel economy, tour ability, ground clearance, engine reliability and service cost and service network are the pros for R3. But the Features, VFM factor, racy components make the Italian the goto bike!

Lot of people here saying why would some prefer r3 over rs457... Aprilia is all good until it gets any problem. After that it's pretty much useless .... No spares , no proper response from showroom ( they know nothing about bike except changing engine oil and replacing brake pads ) One will understand when everything is messy with unreliable thing . Any Japanese machine is super fine with very less maintenance

Lucky ones like me got the CKD R3 at 3.96 OTR. But even as a R3 owner, I can't recommend this at 4.65 ex-showroom. If it was CKD, would have been 4 L ex-showroom. Might have had some takers. Makes it sooo easy for the Aprilia now. Yamaha???
When is the new gen rc390 expected to launch?
R3 needs an update, haven't seen any new R3 tested globally either so its atleast 2years late on new updates
Does anyone know when tuono 457 will get launched?
If it's ur only bike R3 the cost per km per year will make sense later on But if u already have a cruiser or tourer Go for Aprilia No question asked Also Japanese engine will last forever if u keep it

Yamaha should launch something like a R5 that also tops out at 48bhp and has higher torque figures. TC/WC are useless features in A2 segment as there just isn't enough power to make use of them. Instead a dual disc setup in front would be nice.
Next gen RC390 should take care of both these machines. C'mon KTM, bring it on...!!!

japan, italy, germany. good observation. but doesn't have any relevance as in today.
bro the background music should be better
Aprilia's mileage figure on the highway is almost double than the city rides
If R3 was not cbu then it would undercut 457 and be a better deal but alas
Not hating but man there’s barely any americas reviewing this bike on yt
Aprilia RS 457 all day..hands down
Although aprilia rs457 is locally manufactured in India & is a value for money product & has more power output & torque than the yamaha R3 which is a CBU unit due to which price is on higher side & that's makes the most of enthusiast riders disappointed. But one thing I must say that the japanese engine R3 is in the market for quite a long now & is extremely reliable engine which we can't comment about the newly italian engine.

Looking for a new bike like my old 2014 Karizma R
Ninja 500 would have been a better competitor to the rs 457.
Do you still own the scalpel i meant KTM 790 bought almost 5 years ago,i Think KTM has a niche in its each bike segment a proper value for money bikes for indian mentality
Eh kaisa comparison hain...! Isko track mein or road mein le jao... Vagao, or dekhao konsa behtar hain... Kiska turn achchha hain... Kon age laps pura kar raha hain...! Eh toh hum spec sheet lekar khudvi karle
Waiting for relaunch of tuono 1100 factory
Yamahas are simple and reliable Just put the two bikes on bench in full throttle for 60 hours... You will not take the KTM/ Aprilia name again
You forgot about the bad brakes in 457
That city figure of RS457 is gonna hurt big time
Saree guards on sports bikes, WTF ... please change this old rules :(
Would buy a much cheaper NS 400 pulsar instead,great machine,india made and successful brand pulsar.

R3 is heart beat.. ❤️
Fire this editor, has no sense of how video should be edited and absolutely possess zero sence of music. Unsubscribing because of annoying music constantly appearing in all videos and I can't stand this music
Just buy a used r3 or ninja 300, save the money and later upgrade to bigger machine after may be 3-5 years
You are comparing Yamaha with this bullshit brand Aprillia. I have use the both of them. Yamaha is completely reliable. You can trust it but there is no guarantee of Aprillia no no no no no, never ever ever ever buy Aprillia
