Mr. 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.”
Apart from the two motorcycles above, Yamaha is also working towards updating their remaining scooters and motorcycles to BS6 norms. On 19th Dec 2019, Yamaha is expected to launch much awaited R3 facelift with BS6 at an event in Chennai. Details about the R15 V3 BS6 have also been leaked, along with specs.
About their scooter range, recently Yamaha Fascino BS6 scooter was spied on test. The scooter was wearing camouflage, indicating that there could be a facelift update as well, which could be launched as BS6.
