2020 Yamaha MT-03 Review | Daily Rider 

Take a look at suzuki inazuma 250😉

How fast can this bike go on miles ?

Oh I saw what you did there

That was just a stroke of pure pure genius

14:50 for anyone late to the party like me

😂😂

Scooters are the primary transportation here in my country, so this bike will stands out from others no doubt (doesn't matter the engine displacement, most naked bikes will always have more hp than scooters)

As a new rider, I agree lol, thou I like cruisers more so I got a Rebel 300 and yeah I feel spoiled 😂

@@Carlisho lol true I just bought one today

How does 170 kg feel the same as mountain bike?

Your drug dealer sells bikes?

So how do you like it so far buddy ?

@@NMa-be8ru Dude. Amazing. I had to ride it 6 hours home from where I bought it over some country roads. It took me around.... 30 minutes? An hour? To finally start feeling comfortable. She sits at 130 (80 mph) very comfortably. It'll go up to 160 (100 mph) almost on accident. Top speed I've gotten to was 180 (111 mph). I feel like I could get a bit more out of it but I don't think it would hit 200. It's nimble. Quick. The whole bike just feels like a brand new luxury car. It shifts so perfectly I have never felt it before. Maybe it's just because it's such a new bike. I just took a 15 hour road trip with a backpack. I did 160 the whole way. The bike loved every second. Admittedly it does start to make you need to stretch. Your legs will be bent quite a bit and it becomes noticeable after an hour of riding. In town you'd never feel it. 350 km on one tank. Maybe more i never really pushed it down to the fuel light. But 15 dollars to fill up. 💪🤟 I absolutely can't stand being in cars now. Driving them or passenger. Motorcycles are so much better it's insane.

@@jamesparker223 cool. Thanks for your review. I'm deciding whether I should get one or the mt 07. But for the Mt 07 I'd have to wait 2 more years... btw I come from an enduro 2 stroke, so when I go out I always smell like gas and burnt oil lol.

@@Cliffracer46 If you gotta wait 2 years then get the MT03. Or if youre crazy grab the MT07 and ride unlicensed lol. Nothing significant will catch you ;)

What do you have now I’m debating the MT-03 or Mt-07

I have an r3. It does behave well. Watch my videos n support

Update, I ended up buying a 2020 MT-03 and have commuted on it for just under 1500 miles in the past couple of months and uh... yeah, great daily rider lol.

@@That_Cajun_Guy gald to hear 😁

@@That_Cajun_Guy I’m looking for my first bike bro, what do you recommend? 2015 r3 or 2021 mt03.. keep in mind, I’m not going to the track or mountains, just to work and back home

@@AverageAnthony Go with the used R3. They are the exact same bike, just different plastics. You'll save money with the used bike and can probably resell it for the same after a year or two of riding.

​@@That_Cajun_Guy but r3 is forward leaning seating position and mto3 straight sitting position of a street ruding. Dufferent bikes bit just plastics

I have an MT-03 and read the manual. I was thinking I missed something with that launch control. Lol! Awesome review man!

he got me too! hahaha

Same here, I was about to see if there was one hidden on m FJ09

Same... I'm like what it has...oh no of course it doesn't

This dude is the best

the guy's fun

Moto Trooper knowledgeable, can ride like a bat out of hell and infectious laughter. Can’t ask for more

agreed

I'm not sure what it is but I feel like his videos changed a bit from the days with Motorcyclist Magazine. Edit: Okay, maybe just the early videos. Glad to see it's back to normal.

So many of us can only Dream to still be riding at that AGE.. much respect Sir!!

Ride safe out there sir!

ooh yes, they're really cool looking bikes

It's basically a redesigned Duke 390/ Duke 690

Yes. Revzilla should do a 2020 701 sm.

@@pranavp386 Not exactly redesigned. Svartpilen is scrambler built based on Duke 390. Adjustable suspension (which is cool) and spoked wheels. And only after that - Ikea design :)

@@Reginvalt Yeah but they are mechanically same. Same engine, gearbox, brakes, frame.. same bike sold under 3 different brands and segments. It seems more like a marketing strategy than anything else to me.

How do you like it as of recently? I'm torn between a few small displacement bikes this being one

@@izzy8609 still like it... for a 321 it can zip

@@atlslugger14Do you think it's a good commuter bike for small town roads? Planning on saving for one to get to work with

fafafafafafafa

Honda has A LOT of options in smaller displacement engines with a bunch of different style options as well

The CB500F makes the same power, but needs less RPM to do so and makes a LOT more torque everywhere in the RPM range. Better for putting about the streets.

@william willie the weight is definitely a negative. But the stability of the larger tires on the CB500F is really nice, and the wave of low and mid range torque is also super beneficial, especially when loaded with camping gear! With that said, I do most of my kilometres motocamping on country roads and open highways, so I can definitely see the appeal of the lighter bike in traffic when commuting.

My daughter is 4"11 and this will be great bike for her! Maybe you as well!

I am only 5'0 and ride the mt03 stock fine. I fit better on it then the Ninja

But a liter bike isnt as unapproachably expensive as a supercar Thats the difference We CAN afford liter bikes that go FAST and that is why the temptation is so strong

@@delgande liter bikes are a “waste” if you’re not doing track days. Even my mt-09 with “only” 847 CCs is arguably a waste as I almost never get to stretch its legs. If I could do it all over again I would “settle” for a mt-07 with zero regrets

@@talltale9760 yeah and many people drive pick up trucks with empty beds People buy for style all the time. Bikes are way cheaper than cars Even a premium(lol) bike like a harley bagger(road king) is less expensive than a corolla even if marginally so

Save those pennies. It'll be worth it. Just about any of the 300 class bikes are a hoot around town with the twins (kawi/yamaha) being especially good in that they work decently well on the highway too. And being that so many people hold onto a bigger is better mentality you can find them second hand, but virtually new, for significantly less than the MSRP. The 300/400s i think are the ultimate commuter machines. 50-60mpg if your not totally beating on them, cheap long lasting tires, regular gas, super nimble in town. If you can get over the lack of outright acceleration they're super fun.

Buy used... I got my ninja 650 for 60% of the MSRP. 2 years old with 1100 miles on it. I also average around 50mpg.

a 6 exactly, i bought a used R3 for almost the same discount as you with 2200km’s. The bike ran amazing and sold it for the exact same price i bought it for 2 years later.

Soz man, I think the majority of us have been there at some point. That said, he's not wrong - it's just a fact that this bike is toward the lowest end of new motorcycle pricing in the US. BUT.. there's always used. This is not a new model; Yamaha have been making it a few years now, and fortunately new rider's penchant for buying brand new motorcycles for their first bike, justifying that they'll keep it forever means there's always be a crap load of beginner bikes barely ridden less than 3 years old to pick from.

Does US has the MT-15 or FZ150i series?

REV’IT GT-Air 2 ???

@@MrChidakwa Close! REV'IT! GT-R Air 2 (Revzilla link in the video notes)

Just remember to improve everyday and enjoy the ride. When you experence a bike with over 100 wheel hp you will blown your mind lol

This is the exact reason I have an r3. Anything above that and I will likely lose my license ... The highway patrol on my commute are relentless.

Wasn't he part of some other channel with Ari?

Revit GT-R Air 2

I noticed that too..they should sell it with the bike as a promotion.

You're welcome

@@seep7397 lol

I'm 6ft3, do you think it'll be comfortable? I'd like to travel with it besides commuting

@@javiersolis2993 honestly i think you'd be better off with something a bit bigger. Something like one of the Honda CB500 models maybe. Some of it may be personal preference though as having tried a couple of different styles of bikes, I much prefer the upright adventure riding position.

How tall are you?

@@waitwha4761 6’4”

Why did you get bored of it so fast? Not enough speed? Not enough power? I'm curious?

@@Movieman1965 for beginner speed and power is enough..this bike is very forgiving..but as you become mature rider....it feels slow and boring. ...i dont want a bike that goes 400kmph...but 0-100 that attacks me more....thats why got my mt09....if you are starting from no experience than buy this bike.....or if you have very little experience with confident go for mt07....you will stick to that bike for very long time....thats my operation.....and replay me when....you buy this bike and sell it after 3-4 months....your reason😉

@@emran721 Ok, thanks for your thoughts on this.

Did it burn any oil at all while riding at high rpms?

Can I ask about the fuel consumption? I saw another comments saying that it consumes a lot of gas, more than just 4l/100km, i wanna buy it to do my commute

YES!

No kidding. May take years of riding to appreciate the fact though.

Yea the new MC Commute aren’t nearly as good, all the character is gone, so glad Zach is back

Adam Waheed is pretty good too imo

@@ansfida6624 i think Zach does it way more natural. Adam Waheed looks a lot more scripted and seems to be having less fun whilst doing his vids. But it's only my humble opinion.

Disclaimer: I would suck at making a descent review so maybe I'm not in a position to be so pedantic..

@@ansfida6624 I don't mind him, but it's not as good. I think the real problem is that Mototrend bought out both the guys as well as Spencer who did the production, so motorcyclist then had to try and re-create what they had with a different team. It's not just Adam, its him and the crew having to replicate someone else's format rather than doing something natural. That's what it feels like to me at least.

Same here lol

@@sandeepsanghera1069 I ended up getting the MT-03 and I love it.

Yeah, I have a Z400 and it still accelerates well on the highway up to 90mph(I haven't gone faster). They're only "bad" on the highway because you're at 8k rpm at 80 mph and getting pushed around by the wind because they're so light.

Dr.C truth! Getting blown around like a leaf 🍃 is to easy!

Zack’s weight may have something to do with it! At 6’4” he probably outweighs me by 30 lbs and my little R3 picks up speed faster than that especially if I down shift to fifth. But I second the comment in seat slope. I am constantly pushing myself back on the seat to preserve the goods which makes it hard to stay light on the bars. Probably my only complaint about the R3. One of these days I may invest in a custom seat.

I was debating what small bike to get but it looks like a Ninja 400 now.

I got a Z800e instead

Bruder Rüdiger z800 too slow for me

@@NoName-iz6bs Yeah but the sound of it

The old one seems more special than this one. This is just a naked sportsbike with handlebars, but the old one had a lot of torque (like double what this one has) and really different looks. I'm about to buy my first bike and the old MT-03 is really high on the list.

Should I get this for my first motorcycle I'm 15
