Dark Knight Rs. 1,47,900 Rs. 1,50,000 Rs. 2,100

The BS6 version of the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 was launched in December 2019, and later in May 2020, the company made a marginal price hike, which makes the recent one, the second price hike since the launch of the motorcycle. The price hike could be the result of rising input costs due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown. However, we have reached out to Yamaha Motor India for an official comment on the reason for the price hike, but so far, our email remains unanswered.
