Summarize

Yamaha has revised the R3 for 2019, sticking with its 321cc twin rather than going green with envy in the displacement stakes, but there are a few significant changes for the new model year, not least of all its styling. YZF-R3 gets a new fairing with LED lighting , windscreen and fuel tank inspired by Rossi’s M1 for a  a sportier, more aggressive R1 look. Under the skin is a new 37mm KYB inverted fork in a new triple clamp and 25mm lower clip-on handlebars and LCD instrumentation. That 321cc twin, the frame, rear shock, and braking components continue unchanged as does the US pricing.
