Launched under the company’s ‘The Call of the Blue’ campaign, the new special edition is limited to 5,000 units for India out of which, 4,000 units are available for booking in the first phase. The bookings for the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3 MotoGP edition have begun at the company’s official website for India.

Once the 4,000 units of the bike get sold out during the first phase, the remaining 1,000 units will be up for booking but the timeline for the same is unknown at the moment.
The booking amount of the new Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 is Rs 10,000 that needs to be paid at the dealership which the customer selects while making the booking of his or her motorcycle.
