Yamaha YZF-R3 Sales Down to 0 units; Next-Gen Model Expected Soon

Yamaha YZF-R3 registered zero units in the sales chart in June 2019, hinting at a possible launch of the next-gen model in India in the coming months. Every potential product first leaves the assembly line so that the dealers can sell the remaining stock across the country and then, most brands keep a gap of a few weeks before introducing the next-gen model. Within the same period, most brands start accepting bookings for the new model and if Yamaha is on the same track, they will soon officially start accepting the pre-bookings for the next-gen model of the YZF-R3. The 2019 model of the sportbike was introduced internationally last year.
