The big question everyone's going to be asking in 2019 is how the new 2019 Yamaha YZF-R3 compares to the Kawasaki Ninja 400, which was released in 2018 and featured a pretty significant capacity increase.
Yamaha pushed the line in creating a 321cc and while it took a few years, Kawasaki one-upped them with an even bigger capacity boost when they moved to a 400.
There's an obvious performance benefit as a result for the Ninja 400, which in Australia for instance has seen the Ninja 400 restricted to stock suspension in the Supersport 300 race series, but this is all about how these bikes compare on the road.
It's also worth noting that some markets seem to receive a bike which isn't restricted to 35kW or the power to weight limitations seen in some markets, which further confuses the comparison. Both bikes are tested were LAMS compliant in Australia.
