FEATURED IN THE APRIL 2019 ISSUE OF ROADRACING WORLD…

      Nevermind the oft-repeated Internet theory that the
sportbike market is dead and that everybody is going to be riding naked bikes
in the future, despite stellar new sportbike models launched by BMW, Aprilia,

and suddenly the future of sportbikes isn’t looking quite so grim. Because it’s
now official: Yamaha’s best-selling model in the American market in 2018 was the
YZF-R3 sportbike, and for 2019 it delivers better performance for the same
price…
