MUMBAI: Japanese two-wheeler maker Yamaha today launched its 250-cc motorcycle, Fazer 25, priced at Rs 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai) in India, which will hit the road next month.
India Yamaha Motor aims to achieve 15 per cent sales growth in this fiscal besides expand dealership network to 700 outlets, a senior company executive said after the launch.
The 249 cc, four-stroke and single-cylinder Fazer 25 is the second bike from the company this year, after the roll-out of FZ 25 in January.
The new offering from the Indian subsidiary of the Yamaha Motor company of Japan is essentially a fully-faired version of the FZ 25 and is positioned as new mid-class tourer.
“With its improved looks and other suitable changes, the new Fazer 25 will keep up with the expectations of the FZ breed of riders,” Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt Ltd, managing director Masaki Asano said at the launch.
India Yamaha Motor, which sold 7.50 lakh two-wheeler units last year, is looking to sell around nine lakh units of scooters and motorcycles this year, Roy Kurian, senior vice-president of Sales & Marketing said. (AGENCIES)
