Yamaha Mt-03
The Yamaha Mt-03 has a top speed of 160 km/h (est. — note: manufacturer does not officially publish top speed), produces 42 hp and weighs 168 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
La Yamaha MT-03 se presentó por primera vez en 2006 como un streetfighter desnudo monocilíndrico, y luego se relanzó en 2016 como un bicilíndrico paralelo basado en la plataforma YZF-R3, dirigido a pilotos principiantes e intermedios. Se convirtió en una popular moto naked para principiantes gracias a su chasis ligero, su potencia accesible y su estilo deportivo de la serie MT. La renovación de 2020 incorporó una carrocería renovada con una estética más nítida de la familia MT y una ergonomía mejorada, lo que consolidó su posición como una de las zapatillas de baja cilindrada más vendidas del mundo.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Rock-Solid Reliability
The MT-03 shares its 321cc parallel-twin engine with the YZF-R3, a motor known for exceptional durability with minimal reported failures. Regular oil changes every 3,000-4,000 miles are virtually all it needs to run indefinitely.
Watch the Coolant Hoses
A known issue on older MT-03 models is coolant hose cracking or loosening, which can cause overheating if ignored. Inspect all hoses carefully on used bikes, especially models with over 10,000 miles.
Strong Resale Value
The MT-03 holds its value exceptionally well compared to other entry-level bikes, often retaining 70-80% of its value after two years. Its popularity as a beginner and commuter bike keeps used demand consistently high.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Motor monocilíndrico doble paralelo de 660 cc, estilo roadster desnudo, primera generación de MT-03 presentada en todo el mundo.
"Diversión honesta y sin pretensiones que recompensa a los ciclistas pacientes."
La moto doble en paralelo de 660 cc de la MT-03 arranca sin problemas desde unas 3.500 rpm y ofrece una excelente potencia de gama media que hace que la conducción en ciudad sea realmente agradable: no es rápida, pero siempre da la sensación de buena voluntad. A velocidades de carretera superiores a 130 km/h, las vibraciones que atraviesan las barras se vuelven agotadoras y es evidente que el motor funciona a toda velocidad, por lo que no se trata de un turismo. La ergonomía erguida y el asiento de 805 mm son realmente accesibles, y el chasis está inclinado e inspira confianza en las curvas, aunque la suspensión de serie es suave y permite frenar bruscamente. Lo que más me frustra es el anémico techo de 48 CV. Los pilotos experimentados lo superarán rápidamente, pero para alguien que desarrolla sus habilidades en el mundo real durante uno o dos años, es una máquina extraordinariamente honesta e indulgente.
Pros
Contras

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The smartest used buy under four grand, full stop."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe MT-03 is one of those bikes that makes you look stupid for not buying one sooner. Yamaha's 321cc parallel-twin punches well above its displacement — smooth, linear power delivery that never catches you out, with enough grunt to feel genuinely fun on B-roads without terrifying you on the highway. The chassis is properly sorted too, light and flickable in a way that bigger bikes simply can't replicate in tight urban traffic. Buying used, check the front forks carefully — early examples (2016-2018) can weep seals if the previous owner was enthusiastic over rough tarmac. Inspect the chain and sprockets hard, because learner owners often neglect them criminally. The bodywork scratches easily, so assume any used example has had at least one lowside unless the fairings are immaculate. Software gremlins on the dash are rare but worth knowing about. Honestly? For commuting or weekend scratching, this thing is nearly perfect. It's the bike that makes experienced riders forget horsepower exists.
