The Yamaha Fazer, the latest in India Yamaha Motor’s highly successful FZ line-up consisting of the FZ-16 and the FZ-S motorcycles, will be priced at Rs 72,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi.)
Yukimine Tsuji, Yamaha CEO and MD, said, “New Fazer is the latest addition in our portfolio of technologically superior bikes and we hope to provide the latest touring experience.”
Let us take a moment to remember that this is not some super racing motorcycle. Sure, the looks are superb by Indian standards. Probably even more dynamic lookswise than the FZ-16. Quality too is in a class of its own. However, in pure horsepower stakes, there are other motorcycles, including the Hero Honda Karizma, that can beat the Fazer 150 hands down.
He said that the company had announced its investments plans during Auto Expo 2008, and had promised to give India the feel of high technology and real Yamaha.
Tsuji added, “Today the investment comes alive in the form of this internationally benchmarked modern manufacturing facility.”
“New Fazer is the latest addition in our portfolio of technologically superior bikes including YZF-R15, FZ-16 and FZ-S” which exhibit Yamaha’s global ingredients – Performance, Innovation & Design and are the Best Products currently in the market to fulfill the aspirations of Indian biking enthusiasts,” he added.
The sporty Yahama Fazer motorcycle will be available in four colors: Electric Blue, Midnight Black, Lava Red, and Flaming Orange.
Based on the FZ-16 platform, the Yamaha Fazer motorcycle is 1,975mm in length,770mm in width, and 1,045mm in hieght.
The Yamaha Fazer motorcycle is powered by a 153cc air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve single cylinder engine that develops 14PS of maximum output at 7500rpm and maximum torque of 14Nm at 6500rpm.

The Yamaha Fazer motorcycle has a wheelbase of 1,335mm, and has a minimum ground clearance of 160mm.
The 150cc Yamaha Fazer motorcycle gets fatter 140/60 rear tyres with 17? alloy wheels.
The Yamaha Fazer motorcycle will be rolled out from Yahama Motor India’s new facility at Surajpur, Uttar Pradesh.
India Yahama Motor has had a fair deal of success in the Indian market. In June 2009, India Yamaha Motor rung up sales of 17,878 units, an 84 per cent increase compared to the 9,699 units it sold in June 2008.
Meanwhile, India Yahama Motor also plans to launch exclusive racing kits in India, in collaboration with racing equipment maket Daytona, for Yamaha’s YZF-R15 and FZ series models.
The motorcycle racing kits would have adjustable back steps, high-lift cams, full exhaust system, and braking parts like big diameter petal disc brakes, master cylinder, and stainless steel hose, and would be available in India from September 2009, the company has said.
