YAMAHA SURPRISE THE FZ 150
Yamaha announced a surprise launch at the Auto Expo today. The bike in question is the FZ 150, again based on the DNA the FZ series is globally known for. Take our word for it, it will be the best looking naked bike in the country when is launched somewhere around diwali, 2008.
It will have the same engine as the YZF R15 sans liquid cooling. This one would be air cooled.

fu***n hell !!!!!! is yamaha launchin this bike aswell ???? and the yzf r 15!!!!!!
dude n on yamaha’s page the new gladiator variants …damn .. yamaha is gonna rock th market .. n the biking scene in india is gonna change frever !!!!!!
go yamaha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can’t exactly take the radiator off an engine and make it air cooled. The FZ engine, even on visual inspection, has nothing in common with the R15 engine. Even the crank cases are different.
Which is not to say that the bike is bad. Yamaha has pulled off a brilliant move by spec-ing this bike close to the competition, while giving it class leading styling. That link type monoshock and gorgeous swing arm should be placed in the R&D facilities of every other manufacturer for inspiration’s sakes.
I’ve been waiting for a long time to say this, but the time is ripe now: “Yamaha pwns all. Screw the rest. Muahahahahaha”…..
@Synn…Would you say that this bike could have the Vixion 18bhp(am i right??) engine??
wat about honda boyz???????/
it will launch there concept model or not
IMFY: The engine in the R15 is the one from V-Ixion.
The ine in the FZ seems to be an all new design. haven’t seen the architecture in any of Yamaha’s east asian models.

THE FZ LOOKS AMZING! YAMAHA SHOULD HAVE GONE FOR A 200cc MILL ON THIS ONE ALTHOUGH AND A REAR DISC WOULD’NT HURT EITHER.
hey guys !!
..
its 150cc with 22BHP… beat that !!!
get more on yzfr15. blogspot. com
nah not 22bhp.evn the r-15 is only 20 bhp.how can you expect 22bhp from it/
Guys,
Any update on this bike??? when they are gonna launch ?? am eagerly waiting for this bike..
yammy.. pls launch this bike asap..
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 …!!!!!!!!!!

i will be a dream machine of mine.
