The 2023 Yamaha MT-03 is a member of Yamaha’s legendary Hyper Naked family. It has a twin-cylinder engine, aggressive looks, and serious street presence. The MT-03 is powered by the same 321cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel twin as the R3, so the configuration is familiar to those who have cross-shopped the two street bikes: fuel injection, an 11.2:1 compression ratio, and oversquare piston dimensions. The MT-03 is approachable, entertaining, and affordable naked bike for zipping around town or slaloming mountain roads. The MT-03 has an inverted 37mm KYB fork and shock that contribute to the MT’s flickable handling since it first hit the stateside market in 2020. The fork continues to offer 5.1 inches of travel and there’s 4.9 inches of travel for the preload-adjustable shock.
