Latest News about Yamaha Fazer FI V 2.0 [2016-2018]

On numerous instances in recent past, the upcoming Yamaha Fazer 25 has been spotted on test. This time around, reports indicate that Yamaha might launch the new motorcycle in the last quarter of this year. It is also believed that production for the motorcycle will begin in August 2017. As for what we know, the Fazer 25 is basically a fully faired version of the FZ 25.

Until recently, the Yamaha Fazer and FZ-S enjoyed the monopoly of being the only two premium commuter motorcycles to be offered with a fuel-injection system. Now though, this monopoly has come to an end with the launch of the Suzuki Gixxer SF Fi. While the Gixxer SF Fi and the Fazer Version 2.0 have slightly different body styles, they serve the same purpose and essentially attract the same set of buyers. Both aim to offer the versatility to handle a fair bit of touring while dealing with the daily routine of office commutes. Let’s take a look at how these motorcycles stack up on the paper. 

Driven by the success of the fuel-injected FZ series and Alpha scooter, Yamaha India registered a 13 per cent increase in sales in September 2015, as compared to September 2013. The company sold 67,267 two-wheelers in the last month, as compared to 59,325 units it had managed in the corresponding period in 2014.

The new Yamaha Fazer FI v2.0 has been launched in India at Rs 83,850 (ex-showroom Delhi). The new Fazer is mechanically similar to the recently launched fuel-injected FZ series, though the redesigned semi-fairing enhances its visual appeal and sets it apart from its naked siblings.
