Bikes like the Yamaha MT-03 are loved in the U.S. market, as they offer first timers a user-friendly option, with styling akin to that of the bigger bikes in Yamaha’s MT range. The baby Master of Torque, which shares the same platform as the Yamaha YZF-R3, offers a more upright seating position —something that’s a lot more approachable for those only beginning to learn the ropes of the two-wheeled lifestyle.
Be that as it may, in Asia, the Yamaha MT-03 is in fact a premium model, and one a lot of motorcyclists upgrade to after coming from smaller scooters or underbone models. As such, it’s not surprising that it’s an incredibly popular option among those looking for a sporty naked bike that can be ridden on a daily basis. Speaking of the Asian market, the Dark Blast Edition of the Yamaha MT-03 has been revised and released in Thailand. This version of the MT-03, which costs the equivalent of $5,354 USD, has new color schemes to distinguish it from other models.
