Yamaha MT-03 motorcycle hire in New Zealand

Light, nimble, fun — the cheapest way into a modern Yamaha twin.

Yamaha MT-03

The Yamaha MT-03 is a lightweight, affordable and easy-to-ride motorcycle, perfect for exploring New Zealand without the cost or weight of a larger touring bike. With a smooth 321cc twin-cylinder engine, low seat height and responsive handling, it is a fun and practical choice for Christchurch day rides, South Island loops and riders travelling light.

Pick up your Yamaha MT-03 from Epic Ride NZ in Christchurch, close to Christchurch Airport, and ride toward Akaroa, Hanmer Springs, Kaikōura, Lake Tekapo or beyond. The MT-03 is simple, reliable and enjoyable on New Zealand’s sealed roads, making it a great option for riders who want value, confidence and freedom.

USB charging is available. A soft tail bag or small panniers may be available on request, depending on the bike setup.
