@samarth: for me, when i look at these litre bikes in India, it feels like caged 'ghost and the darkness'. if you know what i mean.
so yes, FZ1 is what you call a big bike. alrite. but a good 250cc bike with a resonable price tag and which stands a step ahead of zma is what i would call as a good and big move by yammies.
and this is something i am looking forward to as my next buy and to dump my present 180ug3.

my 2 pncs. peace!

Just a sec, a 250 CC bike ??? Than even a carb one would be more powerful than R 15 and that won't feel the gap, it will be more costlier than R 15 for sure. So 250CC bike speculations are wrong.

What i see is FZ engine is coming in R 15's body (no radiator and other high technology) but will offer a fully-faired bike to those who would not like to invest 1 Lakh, but are good with 80K. Also that bike will have heavy tires just like FZ, so people who skipped R 15 for it's thin tyer profile will now be tempted to grab this bike.

Simple, marketing gimmick...
