A Yamaha Fazer 250 had been spoken about by the
Yamaha India senior management after the launch of the FZ, and these images
shared by Northeast Biking Community is the first sighting of the machine.
The Yamaha Fazer 250 gets a semi-fairing which
leaves the engine exposed. The touring tag gets drilled home with the
windscreen and tall set handlebars. The presence of ABS though cannot be
confirmed.
Powering the Yamaha Fazer 250 is a
249 cc single cylinder, SOHC, air-cooled mill assisted by an oil-cooler. The
fuel injected engine coupled to a 5-speed gearbox is capable of producing 20.9
PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 20 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The
naked roadster tips the scales at 148 kg and the Fazer 250 will be heavier from
the extra plastic bodywork and new handlebar.
LED headlamp, LCD instrumentation and disc brakes at
both ends will be carried into the Fazer from the FZ. The bike will be mounted
on a standard telescopic fork up front and a monoshock in the rear with
adjustable preload.
