Yamaha MT03 | Top Speed| Is 300cc enough?

When you're thinking about which first bike to get, engine displacement is something that always comes up. Some say 300cc is not enough for highway speeds, some say you can get up to speed, but not can't overtake other vehicles. Is all that true?? Watch the video to find out! This is a beginner rider's perspective. And like all of you, I too was stuck in the decision of 300cc vs 400cc vs 600cc before purchasing my first bike, the Yamaha MT03. If you have any questions or if you're in a similar decision point as I was, drop a comment and let me know!

Finally I found a person putting the 300 through the paces and shooting down all the negative comments about the 300 !! It's totally powerful enough for the freeway and it's great for just going around town and here or there! And it can run at 80 plus all day long, me and 4 of my friends who all have this bike , we took the interstate all the way to Las Vegas and we hit 85 plus the whole way, yamaha mt03 knows how to put a good bike out there!!

Same here, I want an MT-03 for my first bike and I don't see myself needing anything more than 300CC bike. I have no interestin doing track runs so I'm never going to hit the top speed anyway and the MT-03 has enough power to go on the freeway with no problems as well as enough reserve power to get out of jams or pass slower traffic.

I just got one last October. 2023 MT03. It’s my first bike, so I’ve been learning on it. Speed is totally fine for me personally. Of course at some point I’ll upgrade but for right now it’s okay. Once you get it, upgrade to the Yamaha R6 throttle tube. Makes such a big difference(shorter throw in the throttle), feels like the bike is tuned now lol. Overall I love this bike though, I only have my permit so I’m not supposed to go on the freeway anyways.

Hard to compare vibrations from a bike to a car. I will say, the MT03 vibrates A LOT less than my Aprilia now. Can ride on highway without issue and its pretty quick for what it is. If I could start over, I'd still buy the MT03 as my first bike again

My 300 was great until I tried passing on back roads. It’s a lot safer on a bigger bike that can quickly get around a car moving at 60mph. My 300 did it but slowly. Found that too dangerous, sold it and got a bigger motor. 300 was plenty of power elsewhere but took less than a year to get rid of. I don’t like sitting in blind spots for anytime, dangerous.

Nice video sir. Thinking of getting this or the MT07 as a 1st bike. Right now where I live, MT07s are ridiculously hard to find and when u do, overpriced. Question for u. A good motorcycle friend of mine said I would get bored of this bike in months due to it being a 300cc bike, and that I'm going to want more power. What do u think about that..

@SK_XIII 3 жыл бұрын

To be honest, I had the same concern and was also deciding between an mt03 and mt07. On a 300cc bike, a good chunk of time is spent on learning how to ride and develop true skill (it may take years to really push the limits of your own riding skills, even on a 300). Vs. on a bigger bike, your learning curve will be much slower because a lot of the times you'll be just putting in a lot of effort to simply ride the machine. If you don't have a heavy throttle hand and you're okay with learning at a slower pace, mt07 may be a good choice for you. I wanted to learn faster so I went with mt03 (resale value is good on them as well)

How badly does she scream though when you're continuously going ~80mph. It's hard to tell because your noise cancellation does a pretty good job. I've thought about going the route of a sv650 or the mt-07 for naked just due to the fact it has another 15mph top speed so the rpm shouldn't be as high when doing highway in my state. Usually left lane is going like 75-90 here depending on the day and I feel constantly hearing it at the top of the band would get annoying after a bit.
