I appreciate the clear, straightforward review - coupled with professional non-shaky camera work. Seems like a great starter bike, but I really do wish that the headlight array was larger to make the bike more visible in daytime traffic. The headlight design itself is cool, but just too small. Otherwise, I consider it to be a very sharp looking bike, especially in all black. This one is on my list.

Couple of tweaks to the intake and exhaust and power commander and this will change it completely, maybe go nuts with a cam job and over bore. These new small cc bikes are a blast to ride wide open.

Nice review, thank you. One thing I'd like future videos to feature is the sound of the exhaust high in the rev range. I know the R3 sounds good up there, so it's likely this is the same, but it would be good to cover. I could hear what it sounds like low in the rev range, which is really useful, because that's a feature I like for riding in town. I think you have the music and sound levels just right in this video, nice production.

All these Sallies should get off of John's case. He's maintaining 6' distance. It's more risky going grocery shopping. Why SHOULDN'T he ride and review motorcycles? Besides, entertainment is a critical industry, when the rest of us are at home, right? I'm glad we're finally seeing some *realistic* smallbore bikes. 250s don't cut it unless they're high strung. 300-400cc is the right range for a beginner bike in the USA; we have to be able to maintain 75 mph without being right at redline. I wouldn't look down on old brakes, but would adjustable levers really break the bank? I would take this over a 390 thumper Duke. Would be a tough call between this and the Versys 300, with its plush suspension and a bit more wind protection...

I Started with the Honda cb300r and just switched over to the yamaha mt03. I am glad I did, more power smooth throttle, and just a much better feel. Don't get me wrong I loved the cb300r, but I am loving the mt03 even more. Labeling these bikes as beginning bikes is understandable, however I feel like you could really get in trouble on the mto3 if you are not careful. Also I have heard numerous reports that the ktm 390 is not reliable. A few reviews have said they have issues. But you have the 200 so you would know more about it's reliability than me.

Idk about other markets but in US market your getting ripped off if you buy this new. Just save that extra $400 for a Kawasaki tbh. Only thing that will be up to you is looks Both get abs but the z has a light clutch too so idk why you wouldn’t get the z as a beginner

Both the R3 and this became mega obsolete and irrelevant the second Kawasaki's 400s came out, and a simple facelift is a laughable attempt by Yamaha to remedy that. Makes absolutely no sense to buy this thing as long as the z400 exists and the 400 dollar price difference is nothing. Yamaha needs to do much better; come up with a 48 bhp bike with better components (I used to have an R3 and the brakes, suspension, and stock tires were so bad that it was just plain unsafe) then we'll talk.
