    Re: Yamaha YZF R3 Owners Reviews and Experiences

    Can anybody share link/source to buy screen guard for instrument console. Already ordered one from Aliexpress but looks like it will take much longer.

    I connected with them on twitter, and they have taken my contact number. Hopefully they will call or will drop another message.

    Even ask for follow ups and latest update.

    In the meantime you can get hold of other items you want for the bike like bike cover, tank grips, new grips, etc etc if any.

By the time i reached home the matte black color of R15 parked in display gripped my mind. While i was thinking, the next day dealer confirmed blue is not available at factory. Last one to be delivered was to a you-tuber (channel named Dino's vault from Hyd). So even with this change if bike landed in showroom on 9th day and considering Delhi's proximity to Yamaha plant I don't think it should take as much time as your dealer is asking for. Somewhere in thread it was mentioned that dealers generally get the bikes allotted when there are more than 1 booking. Not sure how true this is.

    Did dealer provide you with delivery timeline on booking receipt? If yes please reach put to Yamaha stating that dealer is not holding upto his commitment.
    The dealer had told me 20-25 days. One of my friend, he got delivery after 2 months, but here we are running out of time due to BS6 deadline.

    Maybe bigger cities get delivery quicker, i am based at Vadodara and yes they may be waiting for more than 1 booking.

    In between there was a mix up due to the blue color, which he said was available, but while confirming order, it went out of stock which caused a week's delay.
    There are multiple dealers in my city, not sure if they sell the R3. I should have inquired.
    Anyways fingers crossed as he said 8-10 days last week.

    What is the reason provided by dealer for delay? Are there multiple R3 dealers in your city?

    Firstly, congratulations on the R3. I am still waiting till there is no end to the tunnel ever since booked on 20th Jan.

    They offered a discount, thats awesome, here the showroom people say, prices are fixed, so no discounts.

    I am also getting back to riding after 5 years, had the duke 200 earlier, just like you did.
    Thanks Janesh!

    Firstly thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences in this thread. This helped me a lot to narrow down on R3.

    I took the delivery today in Delhi.

    Got a discount of 25k. I liked the way sales rep handled the entire booking with transparency and every effort made by him to comply to my demands of changing the coolant and engine oil. Also parking the bike in complete isolation in basement with 0 kms on odometer. Bike landed at showroom, 9th day after booking.However the entire delivery process was nothing to write about. Not even a basic key handover or any cover unwrap.

    I am getting back to bikes after a gap of 4 years. My last was Duke 200. Couple of scooties during these 4 yrs. As soon as i clocked first 20 kms i was all smiles and realized this journey with R3 is going to be fun.

    I don't think the BS6 R3 will even be available till early 2021. And the ex-showroom price will be close to 4 L for sure.

    Cheers!

    The BS6 launch for R3 is not confirmed yet.... speculations suggest end of 2020 or early 2021.

    BS6 model may have aggressive riding stance (a little bit), if that is not a problem.

    Pricing would be definitely higher than the BS4 model.

    Its your call to decide.
