      *fingers crossed*
      seems difficult 3L OTR in Bangalore, too much taxes , if the ex-show price is 2.5L then it might possible.
      it 3L OTR happens , let me know , i will tag with u to Yamaha Showroom

        My take is 3.6L OTR for base and 3.8L for ABS model.
        The rationale is CKD.

          I just hope they give us the ABS version, optional if not standard on all. I won't mind paying extra 20-25k when I pay Rs. 3L plus for a bike.

          Ride safe and have fun.

            Will give up my D390 if the price is affordable. Somewhere within 3.5lakhs on road.

                No way it will be 3-3.5l onroad. A z250 sans the fairing costs that much imported. And a rc390 costs 2.5 onroad, made in india. So it has to be near/more than ninja 300, unless ofcourse theyve made the bike in India.

                R3 price in usa: $4990
                Ninja 300 price in usa : $4799
                Rc390 price in usa: $5499
                Get the logic?

                  If it's CKD then it won't be south of 3.4L Ex showroom, which will put it in the same price bracket as Ninja 300. I won't be surprised if its even higher.

                    Let's not get too overboard with price expectations.. R3 is better spec-ed than the Ninja 300 everywhere, especially with standard ABS. It will be, in all likeness, a CKD as well. It will be a feat if Yamaha undercuts Ninja on the pricing. Just don't blame Yamaha if they won't!

                      No reason. I want to give it a try n I change bikes often. And since I don't have the budget right now to play in the bigger segment, I wana try R3. And yeah, if they price it in the ballpark of my affordability

                          It won't be coming with ABS and will be priced similar to ninja

                              was expecting the price to be near N300 only, but No ABS thing is a shocker.

                                Well, N300 doesn't have one. Even as an option. Not that it's a good thing skipping on it. Yamaha could have (had) the first mover's advantage on ABS alone.
