I’ve had mine for almost a year, with almost 9k miles. I love this bike. Often times I feel like I need more power, but then I give it a little throttle and I’m reminded why I love this bike so much. I get a lot of compliments on it and when people sit on it they are like Woah. Usually something along the lines of, “this thing is so light and I like the body position”. This bike can take corners very well although I haven’t truly tested it. But I’ve leaned into corners I initially thought I wouldn’t be able to (beginners fear). But as I grow more confident in my abilities, the bike has been able to adapt with me and handle anything I throw at it. I can’t say enough good things about this bike. If you want a faster beginner bike, get the Ninja 400. If you want something that’s a blast to ride and won’t eat your face off, this is the one 👍

Imagine this in car world. 5s 0-60, under $5k and probably over 50mpg in normal use. It would blow their minds.

I had a MT-03 for the 2023 season. After 25 year pause this was just perfect. Fast enough, very agile and no weight. Now I'm switching to a MT-09 for the next season. I can recommend this bike to beginners as well as to the ones that reenter biking. It's so much fun go around corners with the MT-03.
@Chocolate_dragon
I lined up at a traffic light with an mt03 and I was in my wrx. We both took off hard and he couldn't pull away and I couldn't pull away. Wrx is a reasonably quick car...I was impressed! So it's not slow
@timsmotorcyclediary
I wish there was this much variety 25 years ago when I was first starting out. The truth is with the amount of congestion on today's roads (if you happen to live in a large city), the MT-03 may be all you really need. Cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to own, and if you crash it, drop it or it gets stolen, it's not a big hit to your pocket book.

I bought a Yamaha MT-03 this past September. It's a very comfortable bike and it is an absolute blast on back roads. I almost went with a Kawasaki Z400 as it does have a bigger engine for not a lot more money, but the well documented clutch and transmission issues of the Ninja/Z400 held me back, but for sure the Z400 is significantly faster. For me reliability won out over performance. My only issue with my MT-03 is I wish it had a 7th gear. I find it revs to high at anything over 65 MPH, especially when you have to slog it out on the interstate. For sure I could do I sprocket change to lower the RPMs but I would be sacrificing precious acceleration, which I'm not willing to do. Otherwise this is a perfect urban commuter/back road burner that is easy on the pocket book and looks good doing it. I highly recommend this motorcycle for any first time rider.

This bike looks so small to him but I went and sat on one and it was MASSIVE to me bc I’m only 5’2 but it’s such a lovely bike to ride regardless of my size. Incredibly comfortable
@edmay8617
Hey guys , Bought myself the MT 03 , absolutely love it , it's awesome to ride , no problems keeping up with traffic your review was just great . A bike that I'm always happy to get on & ride
@Jkline63012
I was searching for my first street bike last summer after riding a dual sport 250 for a month. I was almost set on a Duke 200 or 390 after riding my buddies 200, but I ended up with a MT03. I have over 3.3k miles on her now and I still enjoy it. I'm thinking of getting a MT07 when the time comes, but I'm in no rush. On another note I live in Lancaster county, so watching your videos has me like "there he goes jumping on 283 lol"
@jamesbabbath5306
I bought an MT03 back in October as my first bike and I absolutely love it. I'd recommend getting the R6 throttle tube after a couple weeks once you get comfortable with the bike - makes a night and day difference and is only around $30 bucks with tax and shipping and is an easy install. Knowing what I know now I would buy it again in a heartbeat
@SWTrailsAndWheels
I chose a used 2021 MT-03 as my 15th bike and I couldn't be happier. What makes a good bike is definitely personal and varies person to person, however buying one that is small and has manageable weight and power is a lot safer, cheaper, and much more fun after owning many heavier and much more powerful bikes. Ok, I still have my Multistrada 1200 when I'm looking for a blast of warp speed but the MT-03 makes me smile much more.
@bradjohnson1473
My first year of riding is almost up. I almost chose the mt-03 but went with the z400 instead which is also a good beginner bike it has nice size not cramped up. I thought I was getting bored with the small displacement bike but after riding a larger bike once I decided I really like the 400 I can really rip on it and ride them hard on the streets without worrying about a ticket and if you want to it will do a hundred miles an hour.
@ducavzla
It is pretty incredible to read the comments to advise this one to be first bike for beginners; and here in Latin America everything is so different haha. My first bike was a discover 125cc from auteco and now I have a pulsar NS160 cc. This one just being 321cc is a MONSTER haha. But that’s also because the life style you get here and there. This MT03 in Colombia costs exactly 30 minimum wages working 8 hours a day. In the US getting 5k usd is way different 😞
@ltsalamence
I have had 3 bikes since discovering this channel. 2015 Vulcan 650s, 2012 M109R, and my current 2015 FZ09. I can say now that between Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha, I am biased to Yamaha and all the amazing quality bikes they make!
@650chewy
Thank you for finally reviewing my motorcycle. I can personally attest that it's plenty sporty and can do well over 75mph in case you have an inclination to do that. I lowered the bike 1 1/2 inches, I'm 5'4". It's a perfect fit for me and I absolutely love it. Love you man!!!
@samuelhoddinott3377
THIS. This is the video I was praying for. I’m looking to buy a bike for my first bike in a couple years after I do the motorcycle course. This bike was the only one for me to buy around locally and I was worried about it maybe being to small for a taller rider or maybe being too powerful. Awesome
@TrainingWithGarrett
I have the 2020-mt03 and I love it. First bike, and couldn't be happier for the price! im 6'1" and it is a little tight, but rides great and is easy to control and gives you a lot of forgiveness on corners and lines. Definitely Recommend!
@mr.monsteryt5761
I love this bike a lot! If I ever have another chance of getting another bike, this would definitely be it. To how comfortable it looks riding on the seat and not having the bike come out from under you and the way it handles. Not to mention the funny ghost face with the front headlight. This is an amazing looking bike and once spring comes around or whenever the weather gets nice, definitely taking that out for a test drive if possible
@colinoz
I bought this bike as my first ever and learned invaluable skills with changing gears, braking, lane filtering etc. I would say it's the perfect beginner bike. Even felt stable on the freeway. Only drawback I had with it was no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a smooth change from first to second gear. MT07 as my second bike!
