Yamaha Fz 2012

Yamaha India launches refreshed 2012 FZ series of motorcycles..

Max. Torque seems to have come down from the earlier 14.0 Nm to 13.6 Nm

After the launch of the FZ-16 in 2008 and FZ-S in 2009, Yamaha India has been refreshing it's FZ range of motorcycles every year with new colors. Yamaha India had also put out limited edition FZ (and Fazer) in 2009 (all white colored) and 2010 (all black colored). Following this annual regimen, the FZ series gets new colors for 2012 as well.

Posted below are the changes, new colors, specs & prices.

Price: (Ex-Showroom Delhi as on 30'th Apr 2012)

FZ-16

: Rs 69,250

FZ-S

: Rs 71,280

New Features:

Apart from new color combinations, there are small feature changes like the addition of a lower chain guard/protector, redesigned grab rails, a longer & wider rear mudguard and a wider and longer rear seat.

Among the changes the long rear mudguard and the new chain guard looks a bit weird to me but the redesigned rear seat is a welcome change. The earlier FZ models had the smallest rear seat among Indian bikes, making it an uncomfortable pearch especially for the well endowed pillions.

There are no major change in the specifications of the bike except the Max. Torque which seems to have been reduced from the earlier 14.0 Nm to 13.6 Nm on the latest models (tuning the engine for better fuel efficiency..??).
