Unveiled at the Auto Expo 2016 alongside MT-09, the naked streetfighter will be brought to India via CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route from the company’s Indonesian facility, and then assembled locally. The report further suggests that the Yamaha MT-03 could be priced around Rs 2.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Upon launch, the naked MT-03 will take on the likes of Kawasaki Z250, KTM Duke 390 and the upcoming BMW G310 R. The Yamaha MT 03 shares its engine and design elements with its fully-faired sibling – the Yamaha R3. The bike is powered by the same 321cc, parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. This power mill is capable of generating a maximum power of 41.6bhp and 29.6Nm of torque.
