Yamaha Motor India has hiked the prices of the R15 V3 before the festive season. The two wheeler saw an increase of Rs 600 in the price with the latest hike. Mind you, the price increase of Yamaha R15 V3 is limited to the standard and dark edition trims.
With the festive season approaching, most manufacturers provide discounts, cashback scheme and offers to boost up the sales of their products. However, Yamaha decided to increase the prices of R15 V3. There is no specific reason for the hike but we expect that the bike is giving good business to the manufacturer and hence a significant Rs 600 won’t matter to the customer.
The prices of the R15 V3 now stands at Rs 1,40,880 for the standard trim whereas the Dark Edition now comes at Rs 1,42,880. Earlier both the trims came at a price tag of Rs 1,40,280 and Rs 1,42,280. The Moto GP continues at Rs 1,42,780. All prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi.
