The sporty Japanese bike, Yamaha YZF-R3 has gotten a beautiful, tastefully-done Italian makeover with an MV Agusta livery by Knight Auto Customizer from Chennai.

The livery makes the bike look even more elegant and sporty.

The livery is similar to the one found in the original limited-edition bike, an MV Agusta F4 RC AMG. Apart from the visual treatment, they have replaced the stock levers with adjustable ones; and the handlebars get bar-end indicators as well. The front indicator on the fairing has been replaced with integrated units, for a cleaner look. The rear features a tail tidy kit which enhances the bike’s sportiness. They have removed the oversized saree guard as well, for better aesthetics. The front fender gets a wrap that looks like carbon fibre as well.

The number '37' is a reminder of the number of Constructors' World titles that MV Agusta has won.
