Indian biking scene is at an all time high as Yamaha are going to add one more superbike into their network in India. Yes, we are talking about the new FZ1, the naked monster. The bike shares the same engine as the R1 but is detuned for more usable midrange power. The FZ1 will be more practical and usable than the R1. The FZ1 has a die cast Delta box aluminium frame; fully independent adjustable front forks and dual 320mm front disc brakes with 4 callipers. The bike will be available in two colours, black and white.
The best part is that it will cost around Rs 8.7lac ex-showroom Delhi. At this price it will kill all the competitors at this segment. The bike will also be much more practical and usable in our country compared to the fully faired rockets in the same segment.
