YAMAHA FZ 15 MEDIA LAUNCH ON 14TH SEPTMEBER!
![]()
Yamaha FZ 15Â
Another most awaited launch of the year in the two-wheeler segment and a potential volume spinner for Yamaha, the FZ 15’s media launch will happen on Saturday, 14th September in Goa. The commerical launch will happen in the festive season of October after which the bike will go on sale throughout the country.
The FZ 15 is a naked sportsbike which gets its DNA from global FZ’s series of Yamaha motorcycles. Fat tyre at the rear, beefy tank, beefy front fork compliment the FZ 15’s muscular character, which is all set to become a huge hit among the young crowd in India. The bike isnt short on technology too with monoshock suspension at the rear, analogue digital tacho and speedometer and advanced chassis which is stiff as well as light at the same time.
The engine is tuned for low and mid-range torque than top end rush unlike the YZF R15 where serious actions starts above 6000 rpm in a classic Yamaha sportsbike fashion.
Speculations surrounding the bike also suggest a hike in the engine capacity to 160cc which is highly unlikely since the bike was shown in the Auto Expo 2008 as a 150cc. Go through our review of the bike here.

The bike will be known as FZ 16 and now FZ 15
d console is completely digital even d tachometer…. n d launch is in mumbai
the instrument console i’ve seen in some of the spy pics don’t look that cool.it’s a mish-mash of yellow,orange and all….
yes the news is indeed true. bike lovers can have a glimpse of it at yamaha bike station mgf mall saket, delhi. the console is fully digital even the tachometer is digital, orange backlit. other specificaitons are still not out.
Please do post us regarding the specification of FZ and its price tag…..
it is finally 160cc. detailed specs not official
no yaar.. it’s 153.6 cc .. i have already booked the bike in bangalore.. the dealer told me that on road price in bangalore will be around 70 to 75K.
true….
bookings open…. jus spoke to the dealer…. sept 18th in bang…
also in mumbai & delhi… but it’s 14th,15th in goa first….

hi axay,
he promised me that I will get my bike within a week after the launch..
on sept. 14th they r gonna have the press launch in Goa … d actual launch is on the 17th
will this have fi ? i think its a bit over priced. though rtr160fi is no match to fz 15 in refinement and quality stakes u still get a good bike for 70k onroad the other option is karizma at 75k. guys think over it , u have money to spend for brand yamaha spend it, the high price tag is anyway not justified.
prices r still not out yet so no point speculating…. n den in diff. cities prices of bikes r diff….. n in d start every1 were not happy wid d price tag of r15 but den now no1 is complaining about it cuz they no its value 4 money

it seems yamaha is back on track……….m die heart fan of yamaha rx 100 n rd 350…though the size of yzfr15 dissappointed me, but now lookin forward fo ths beauty…..
Sooppaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like Yamahas have also managed to smash the price prejudice of the FZ.
The FZ will be pegged at a mere 65 grand, well, Ex-Showroom!!!!!!
And for me, the real YIppe factor is the torque rating. For the bike weighing in at 126 kilos, 14 PS and 13.6/14 (Different ratings at different places) is stupendous!!!!!!
Just pinged couple of my frields and showed them the links. “WOW” was the response!!!
They were literally floored!!!!!
And FY, the torque figure is almost 1 Nm higher than the Apache 160 RTR!!!!!!!!!!!
So, forget the power, think about the POWER DELIVERY…..!!!!!!!!!!
As they rightly claim, it HAS to be LORD OF THE STREETS …!!!!!!!!!!
it is rechristened as FZ(ee) 16 from FZ 15 & the engine is 150cc. ‘16′ probably is to differentiate from R 15’s ‘15′. i do not know exactly the change in bore size. but this is what the dealer said. the price will probably be around 68K ex-showroom,
this bike gonna rockk!!! Great gift to india from Yamaha!! i love look of bike, it is damn sporty!!!
the price is predicted about 70k to 75k… some body had left comment on mu blog..
