A sunny green in Miami! New colors and custom parts for the Yamaha YZF-R3

At the Osaka Motorcycle Show held last weekend, a YZF-R3 with a color scheme and parts never seen before was on display. What on earth is this vehicle?

Fresh green with aggressive winglets?

The YZF-R3, clad in peppermint green, a rather unusual color for a full-cowl sport bike, was exhibited by Yamaha (Y's Gear) at the Osaka MC Show. The color of the body is noteworthy, butthe fact that three "reference exhibit" parts, which are being considered for release depending on the response, were included among the optional parts installed on the vehicle is also eye-catching. First, the "screen deflector" is an item that is attached to the edge of the factory screen to enhance the rectification effect and produce a more intrepid look. The side of the cowl is also equipped with "winglets. The mirror covers with three fins are ideal for improving the quality. All three parts are made of carbon resin and can be easily installed with double-sided tape, so owners of the YZF-R3 and its sibling, the YZF-R25, will be interested to see what the future holds for these parts.

A single seat cowl (¥20,350), also made of carbon-like resin, is already on sale.

Also on sale is the KYB Special Suspension Rear (77,000 yen), which offers rebound damping force + preload adjustment at an affordable price.

In addition to the parts, the body color is also worth noting. This color is being introduced for the North American-spec R3 under the unmistakably American name of "Miami Mint Green/Matt Stealth Black. According to Yamaha officials, the R3 is expected to be available in Japan in the near future, so we can look forward to that.

The aggressive coloring of the recent YZF-R25/3 is impressive. This color is also inspired by the sky or the sea of Miami?
