Yamaha has launched the FZ V3 in India today, priced from Rs. 95,000/- (a price increase of Rs. 11,000/-). Available in 2 variants, FZ-FI ABS and FZS-FI ABS, the Yamaha FZ V3 gets a new LED headlight with separate housing for the beams, newly designed plastic resin tank cover, sliding engine kill switch, FZ25 mudguard and Bosch single-channel ABS. Yamaha has also updated the instrument cluster on the FZ which is an all-digital LCD meter with better readouts.
Yamaha claims the front-end, tank and engine of the FZ V3 resemble that of an urban fighter. The two-level single-piece seat (the old bike had a split seat) on the motorcycle is now 5 mm thicker with a 16% larger surface. The bike gets a one-piece aluminium grab rail. The Yamaha FZ-S gets an under-cowl (engine fairing in Yamaha speak) and chrome duct plate (chrome air intake in Yamaha speak) and exclusive colour schemes over the FZ.
