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 a été présentée pour la première fois en 2006 en tant que streetfighter monocylindre nu, puis relancée en 2016 en tant que bicylindre parallèle basé sur la plate-forme YZF-R3, destinée aux pilotes débutants et intermédiaires. Il est devenu un vélo nu d'entrée de gamme populaire en raison de son châssis léger, de sa puissance accessible et de son style sportif de la série MT. La mise à jour de 2020 a apporté une carrosserie actualisée avec une esthétique plus précise de la gamme MT et une ergonomie améliorée, consolidant ainsi sa place parmi les véhicules nus de petite cylindrée les plus vendus au monde.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.
Générations et spécifications par année
Moteur bicylindre monocylindre de 660 cm3, style roadster épuré, première génération de MT-03 introduite dans le monde entier.
"Un divertissement honnête et sans prétention qui récompense les conducteurs patients."
Le bicylindre parallèle de 660 cm³ de la MT-03 fonctionne parfaitement à environ 3 500 tr/min et offre une puissance satisfaisante à mi-régime qui rend la conduite en ville vraiment agréable : elle n'est pas rapide, mais elle donne toujours envie de rouler en ville. À des vitesses supérieures à 130 km/h sur l'autoroute, les vibrations à travers les barres deviennent fatigantes et le moteur travaille clairement fort. Il ne s'agit donc absolument pas d'un véhicule de tourisme. L'ergonomie verticale et le siège de 805 mm sont véritablement accessibles, et le châssis est plat et inspire confiance dans les virages, bien que la suspension d'origine soit souple et résiste aux freinages brusques. Ce qui me frustre le plus, c'est le plafond anémique de 48 ch. Les pilotes expérimentés le dépasseront rapidement, mais pour quelqu'un qui acquiert des compétences pratiques en un an ou deux, c'est une machine remarquablement honnête et indulgente.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
