A recent report by Indian Autos Blog clears the fact that Yamaha R3 will be back on the official website with a BS4 compliant engine and all other necessary changes. They have confirmed the same with Yamaha India's public relation representative. The new edition is expected to carry new shades and graphic enhancements while the engine would stay the same 321 cc, 2-cylinder unit. Though the chances are too thin, Yamaha might also introduce ABS as an option in India.

Yamaha to Relaunch the YZF-R3 in India Soon

Yamaha R3 comes with amazing shades (Matt Grey, Matt Black) in selective markets and the return of Racing Blue is a sure shot fact. Yamaha offers the same on all sport series motorcycles. The White shade with Yellow graphics even look exciting from every angle. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox while addition of slipper clutch is the next big possibility. The additions and changes in the motorcycle will definitely result in higher price tag.
