    Jawed, my bike's low beam also fused at 17k kms but then I installed p220 bulbs which were same spec but cheap. Till now it's going strong.

      Thanks for the explanation. But since all the major issues are sorted out by Yamaha, no need to worry much ( though oil leak might need some research).

      Hoping they relaunch soon.

        I am also going through same confusion which is R3 vs Duke 390. If R3 doesn't come with ABS it is Duke 390 no brainier there. Hope Yamaha will listen to many !

          Just checked with one dealer today (Pacer Yamaha), they said R3 is expected to be relaunched in August.

              Dealer at my place is giving delivery of r3 and says its bs4.My friend booked the bike and will be getting in 20 days.

              Please help

                It is surely BS3 model, BS4 model is not yet available, expected in August only.

                    I would say you should ask your friend to do a pdi and a thorough check and decode the VIN before getting it registered and even mail Yamaha about it.

                      Actually all R3 so far sold were BS3. Its officially confirmed. If the dealer is saying he can get the bike immediately, then its BS3 for sure. They would have registered the bike in the dealer name (for the sake of new BS4 norm) and for your friend registration will be done as a second owner. Normally this kind of purchase involves good discount.
                      Here if it is really an unused bike then you can bargain to the max because they dont have any other option to sell it.

                      In chennai none of the dealer has R3 and they removed it from display too. They dont have any info regarding the relaunch.

                        In may i had enquired for a bs3 model where i would be the second owner. The discount i was offered was a 35K max. Did not find that good enough.

                        Your friend will be the second owner for sure.

                            If you will be 2nd owner, take atleast 55-60k discount. As You are loosing in resale value, being the 2nd owner.

                              Since the r3 is 321cc , soo gst will not affect the pricing I'm assuming, same case with the ninja and benelli too I'm assuming? Only the 390s will become more expensive as it's 350plus cc range?

                                Yes you are right. Its only for 350cc above thats too with an increase of around 3%.
