Fazer is the terminology Yamaha use for all naked's derived from their fully faired fire-breathing siblings. Hence the name Fazer 600 and 1000. In our case had they come out with a naked version of the R15 - it would have been called the Fazer 150. But they broke the norm with the vastly different FZ-16 and god bless them for it.

It's maybe because they never entered a country like India before. At least to settle down, they do need volumes segment.

If the 125cc performs good, and covers essentials like features, good handling, etc. then I'll consider it worthwhile. If so, it'll be more desirable than the Japanese Commuters, won't it?
