          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Kawasaki Ninja 650

            • BS6-compliant version does not lose out on power
            • Features a modern TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity
            • Rolls on grippier Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres

            Yamaha R3

            • Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
            • Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
            • Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
            • Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike

            Kawasaki Ninja 650

            • It has become expensive now
            • Not-so-exciting engine
            • Lacks sophisticated features like adjustable suspension, radial calipers and electronic aids

            Yamaha R3

            • Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
            • No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
            • A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
            • The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri
