R3 Cup

AUSTRALIAN SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP

What is R3 Cup

The ShopYamaha R3 Cup is a Yamaha one-make initiative, which made its ASBK debut in 2016, designed to offer a very cheap entry level package into road racing. Although it’s not officially a ‘championship’ because of the use of a single make machine, the class is similar in structure and rules to the Supersport 300. R3 Cup riders can cross enter both categories for extra track time.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Single make and model – Yamaha YZF-R3
  • Has headlamps, blinkers, passenger foot pegs etc removed (for safety reasons)
  • Limited modification allowed for racing purposes only
  • Affordable entry-level racing
