Indian Yamaha Motors Roll-Out First BS-VI Lineup

India Yamaha Motor (IYM) introduces the all-new FZ-FI (149 cc) and FZS-FI (149 cc) in India, thus marking the first BS-VI variant rollout from the company in India. All colour models of both FZ-FI (149 cc) and FZS-FI (149 cc) will be available in the BS-VI line up. Additionally, FZS-FI (149 cc) will have two new colours – Darknight and Metallic Red. The company will further announce the launch of other BS-VI compliant line ups in the coming time.

The new FZ-FI and FZS-FI comes with a Blue Core concept-driven 149 cc engine with a compression ratio of 9.6:1 and delivering a maximum 12.4 PS power @ 7,250 r/min and 13.6 N.m torque @ 5,500 r/min. The new FZ-FI and FZS-FI BS-VI version will feature single-channel ABS in the front wheel and front & rear disc brakes along with a negative LCD instrument cluster and a single piece two-level seat.

During the occasion, Motofumi Shitara, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group of companies said, “Our commitment towards customers in India is underlined in exciting products and experiences by The Call of the Blue that stimulates a stylish motorcycling culture. As Yamaha reveals from its new product line up, the BS-VI compliant FZ motorcycles will be available across Yamaha showrooms from November 2019. FZ is an iconic brand and many motorcyclists have been brought up well from its cradle. This popularity served more concern to the company while planning for its BS-VI variant. Yamaha strived for optimum cost control and achieved to peg it around 2.5% higher, only to let FZ’s excitement stay unrestrained in India. The new BS-VI models in 150 cc is also expected to yield Yamaha’s strong presence in the deluxe class 2W category.”
