  • Yamaha India introduces FZ 16, FZ-S and Fazer face lift

    Introduces an exciting new range of colours and graphics that would adorn these spectacular bikes.

    New Delhi, 12th May, 2011: With its focus on consistently delivering innovation and novelty to its valued customers, India Yamaha Motor has introduced new variants of the FZ, FZ-S and Fazer bikes of its popular FZ series with a complete makeover. Vibrant colors will adorn these muscular machines along with new logos and graphics to match the changing tastes of the discerning customers. The launch will be complemented by an aggressive media campaign featuring Yamaha brand advisor in India and Bollywood heartthrob – John Abraham.

    All the models – FZ, FZ-S and Fazer of the FZ family will now have a kick start option and will continue to sport the signature Yamaha look that instills a sense of pride in ownership.

    After much research on colors and customer preferences, Yamaha has introduced four new colors for FZ-S – Golden Streak, Competition White, Black Cyber Green and Yellow Streak. All four colors of FZ-S have different characteristics which speak for themselves and at the same time maintain their earlier positioning of being the ‘Lord of the Streets’. Fazer will also be seen in four new colors - Competition White, Black Cyber Green, Midnight Black and Lava Red while FZ will be available in two new colors - Midnight Black and Lava Red. The overall idea is to have freshness in the product category which is in line with the company’s promise to give newness to its customers.

    Speaking about the bikes, Mr. Hiroyuki Suzuki, CEO & MD, India Yamaha Motor, said, “The FZ series has gained immense popularity among youngsters since its launch in September 2008. The introduction of the FZ series in a whole new look is in line with our strategy to consistently provide our customers with fresh and new offerings. These bikes have been instrumental in taking our sales to a higher trajectory. We are confident that the new variants too will be an instant hit among the biking enthusiasts. We have also charted out an extensive plan for the promotional campaign of the new variants featuring our brand advisor John Abraham.”

    The new FZ will be available at a price of Rs. 67,000, FZ-S at Rs. 69,000 while Fazer will bear the price tag of Rs. 74,000. All these prices are Ex-showroom Delhi.

    Yamaha will follow a 360 degree approach for the promotional strategy of these new offerings covering all the elements of television, print and web. For the television commercial, Yamaha will bring on board its brand advisor John Abraham who, along with the products, will take centre stage in the commercial.

    With the Triple Macho concept projecting the muscular silhouette, muscular body parts and muscular chassis, the 153cc FZ series bikes reflect visual expression of performance.

          I must say that an already good looking bike just became better...

          However, I would have expected to see some actual upgrades like maybe a rear disc brake which is fast becoming a norm these days. The inclusion of a kick start lever is a good move by Yamaha.

          Regardless, I love the new look !!

                    That's the fugliest Kick start lever I have ever seen..

                    Otherwise the color options are good.. But a lot more is expected from YAMAHA rather than these paint jobs only..

                          I feel it would have been better if they provided this kicker in their tool kit, like a 'Plug-In'.. than fitting it on the bike..

                              why but why ? They say Red, black and cyber green are new addition in colours. Erm, were they not available earlier too? The other colours too are ugly. Personally, didnt liked the entire concept adopted by yam here, except for the kicker, which may come in handy for some.
