Inspired by the flowing aerodynamics of Yamaha's YZR-M1 MotoGP® race bike, the new 2025 YZF-R3's distinctive R-series pedigree is recognisable at a glance with its aggressive new front fairing, sleek new side panels and a sporty new tail section with signature R-series tail wing.

New Assist and Slipper Clutch
A first for the YZF-R3, the new assist & slipper clutch uses an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever increasing wrist comfort.
