Yamaha India has launched a new variant of the SZ. The 153cc SZ-R is a sporty version of SZ-X. The SZ-R is targeted at commuter customers with their sports-oriented interests and is designed to create the sensation of “High Speed”. The bike comes with front disc brake, tachometer and has tank protector added to the fuel tank to make it appear even larger. Furthermore, the shroud of the standard SZ-X model is replaced by an aerodynamic spoiler that extends out boldly and is given the same silver coloring as the side covers. The bike also has clear lens flasher, colored handle grip end bar, painted muffler end caps along with special graphics. SZ-R is priced at Rs. 55,500/- (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be available in 3 color options – Quality Black, Quality Red and Quality Blue. [click to continue…]
