    Yeps point taken. But the alloy paints finish in this gold look better than the black finish. The alloy finishing was a bit of a let down in the normal version

      We were about to book a Black-Green FZ-S and saw this one. But were disappointed with the price and booked the FZ-S for my friend.
      i dont think the showroom guys are allowed to sell the bike with any kind of accessory...

          • Sooo... has anyone tried swapping the R15 engine into an FZ?

            • I gotta ask here.. what spares are used in the LE's that are so unavailable? I thought it was just the paint job and less numbers that made them 'Limited' and exclusive.

                in fz and fazer LEs only visual mods are there and nothing else... its the price of exclusivity is what they are charging.... chk out lamborghini reventton the chances of owning that vehicle is 1 in 700,000,000. there is another car with name as Aston Martin one 77 only 77 of those model will be build and its cost is 9.75crores ex showroom. although these vehicles usually have higher power and bigger engine capacity but that is not the case with indian bikes...

                  by spares i meant the body parts itself.
                  for eg. for the latest LE..you will have to order the foll. parts if needed.
                  Side tank panel
                  Alloys
                  Rear under seat panel

                  you will have to wait a week or two or maybe a month....or you can settle for the non LE spares!

                  and for the LE R15...the fairing costs around 6-10k extra!maybe that the case with LE FZ's too

                  and these words are from the Sales Manger of my local dealership!

                  He also said the foll.
                  "All these ppl who bought the LE in a hurry and excitement will be fighting with us for spares availability!"

                    Now, I had seen someone do a 250 on a FZ.

                            Not happening unless the dude has both R15 and FZ with him.
                            Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
                            But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

                              I wonder if an insurance writeoff R15 can be found with an intact engine for such a job. I wonder if its feasable!

                                Brother No offence meant but the engine definitely looks different from the stock ones of yamaha. Also there are aftermarket products like racing exhausts, Dual front disk setup,rear disks, apart from the awesome paint-job.

                                I dont know if it is a real 250 or not, but the yam does look damn good.
