Yamaha FZ 200/250 (spy shot)
An upcoming motorcycle from Yamaha has been spotted
by Overdrive in the national capital.
Careful observation of the spy shots reveal that the
bike has a single cylinder engine. The steel braided wires next
to the engine mean that it can be an oil cooled mill. Are we looking at a new
motorcycle with a possible 200-250 cc displacement?
The crankcase cover has a similar design as the
existing models, and so is the case of the short stubby exhaust canister. The
disc brake seem to have been lifted from the Yamaha Xabre/M-Slaz sold in Indonesia,
Bangladesh and other South-East Asian markets. The LED headlamp console too has
been lifted from the M-Slaz.
The front suspension gets right side down forks and
a monoshock in the rear. The muscular body style follows the FZ family. A
200-250 cc FZ would be an interesting offering not just for India but also the
Indonesian market.
During development, the bike will rely on the newly
inaugurated R&D facility inside the Chennai plant, and could be manufactured
completely in India, slotting between the 2017 Yamaha R15 and R3 in the local
lineup.
