Yamaha MT-03: Price Check
The Yamaha MT-03 has always been known for its strong road presence and solid performance. However, its steep price tag of Rs 4.60 lakh, ex-showroom, made it less accessible. The high cost was due to the MT-03 being imported via the completely built-up (CBU) route. With the recent price cut, the MT-03 is now available for Rs 3.49 lakh, ex-showroom, making it more competitive with its rival, the KTM 390 Duke, which starts at Rs 3.13 lakh, ex-showroom in Delhi.

| Yamaha MT-03 | Rs 3.49 lakh |
| KTM 390 Duke | Rs 3.13 lakh |
