A new teaser image has been reveal that Yamaha is launching a naked street
fighter on January 24, 2017. Yamaha claims that they are ‘unveiling a new
chapter’ on that day.
Expected to be the Yamaha FZ 250, which has also
been called as the Yamaha FZ 25, the bike’s engine may have a displacement
between 250 to 300 cc based on a single cylinder engine. Spy pictures spotted
so far have confirmed that the bike will be an air cooled unit assisted by an
oil cooler.
The engine resembles the shape of the unit seen in
the Yamaha Fazer 250 sold in Brazil. The 249.45 cc in the Fazer 250 is capable
of producing 20.7 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 20.5 Nm of peak torque
at 6,500 rpm. The Indian market though will need a far higher power output if
Yamaha wants a piece of pie of the 200 cc plus segment.
The headlamp resembles the shape of the one seen in
the Yamaha Xabre. The Yamaha FZ 250 also gets premium upside down forks, split
seats, disc brakes all around and an FZ family inspired exhaust canister.
Expect this new street fighter from Yamaha to be
priced between INR 1.4 lakhs to INR 1.7 lakhs.
