Yamaha has added another big sports bike to their India line-up with the launch of the Yamaha FZ1. The FZ1 is very popular in Europe as a fast naked motorcycle equipped with a de-tuned previous generation Yamaha R1 superbike engine, tuned for massive mid-range power and more usability.
It comes equipped with a die-cast Deltabox aluminium frame, fully adjustable independent damping front fork, extra-long truss-type aluminium 624mm swingarm suspension, comfortable riding position, and dual 320 mm front disc brakes with 4-piston callipers.
FZ1 is available in 2 colour options - Black and White at an ex-showroom price (Delhi) of Rs. 8,70,000. At this price, it will compete with the Suzuki Bandit 1250S.
