-Posting from Auto-Expo R3 Thread

Just spoke with Sri Motors Yamaha Global Shop, Chennai. They say waiting period is 45 days. Bookings open. Full Price Breakdown Yamaha has not informed them yet, mostly by next week they'll receive it seems. New display vehicles will arrive shortly.*

EDIT-2
A sales rep named Saravanan called from Sri Motors Katupakkam branch, Chennai. He told me the price is ₹3,88,700 on-road. Booking amount is ₹10,000. He also added to book quickly to avoid further queue delay.*


EDIT-1
Spoke with Another Showroom called Sun Motors in Chennai. They say ₹50,000 is booking amount. Bikes will most likely arrive by March end or April first week. This person said the on-road price won't cross ₹3,95,00 in Chennai.*

Since old BS3 stock fully sold and R3 was discontinued from mid 2017, no display or test ride available for now in showrooms it seems.

Cheers!

Don't trust monarch guys. 1.5 years back when I was buying mine they said don't buy blue bike, they are getting lot of complaints of color fading. It turned out later that they said so because they only had black in godown. Their sales team is so pathetic that the entire buying experience felt like they are doing me a favor and I am buying a scooter. Unfortunately they are the only ones in Pune who gets R3 directly. Their after sales service guys are way better than core sales. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone! I booked the new R3 just a week back. It will be delivered in 45 days. On road cost in Bangalore is pretty high. 4.3 lakhs. Booked from Torcente motors, Frazer town. Any leads on on road price will be helpful for Bangalore.

Hi,

I also checked with Torcent yesterday, they have also quoted me the same. Today i have checked with Vinayaka motors & Took a test ride of OLD R3 BS3, They quoted 3.38L on road. APart from that if you want to fit crash guard that will cost you 9K, they have showed me the sliders.

Riding my Benelli 250, from there taking test ride of R3 was awsome, 1st thing i notice was the refinement, just too good, and being 6'3 tall the bike posture was quite good for me.

Am planning to book it somewhere in April/May.

Are you sure regarding your numbers? 3.38 lacks for used R3 i guess.

Went to Margao-Goa Yamaha Showroom today to get quotes for R3 surprised to see sloppy sale team who had no idea about anything .


First i went to Pratik motors was told firmly they dint have price breakup of the bike and team was also not sure when they will get such information , Sales rep didn't even bother to take my number i left and went to Yamaha website and found their is another dealer who is shown as R3 dealer for my area

Went to second showroom , found sloppy sales reps who were busy in their own work . Had to interrupt them to get their attention . When asked for R3 Quotation i was surprised i got it in seconds but i was immediately told its not in stock and will take 3 months i was shocked and asked if their is huge waiting they said company has fewer units , was told pay 10k as booking amount and wait for 3 months .

I left the showroom but after close inspection i found ex-showroom mentioned as 326280 i went back in immediately , when i told staff its ex-showroom launch price was told as 348000 , only then they released they had given me old price and when i pressured only then they decided to check with Yamaha which they couldn't go through after repeated attempts . they finally took my number and told i will get a call back from them soon .

I am not sure if this sales guy will be able to get me R3 in time frame , it seems they are busy selling non-gears got Honda dealership vibe from them .

Pratik Motors in Margao are so lazy that they dont even bother greeting their customers. I went there recently and found their staff busy doing their own stuff, and on asking about the R3, they just replied "Not sure about it".

Maybe you can check for some dealers in North Goa because South dealers are focused on selling FZs and Scooters.

Hi everyone!

I am planning to book the newly launched R3 by March. Have also been through this ownership thread. Would like to place a few queries and would appreciate if the owners can offer their opinions on the same. The list is as under:

1. I already have a R15 v1 since 2009. But of late, my back and wrists start paining while driving it through city traffic (am 32 years old with 5'5" height). How comfortable is R3 as compared to R15 "v1" in this respect? Shall be obliged if somebody can share a few pics from side profile (with rider on) so as to get an idea of seating position.

2. How is the pillion comfort as compared to R15 v1?

3. What is the real world mileage offered by the bike?

4. How is the service and A.S.S. from Yamaha in Delhi and Lucknow?

5. Is the bike easily navigable in city and ghat sections/hilly areas?

Please provide your inputs so that I can make a sound decision!

Regards...

P.S.: The bike is intended to be used 75% in city riding and 25% in highway and hills.
