Yamaha India is certainly on a roll, first Yamaha R15 then the FZ16 and now it seems they are planning to launch half fairing version of the Yamaha FZ16, which would likely be called Yamaha Fazer 150.

In the following photographs uploaded by Gaurav Thakker of Mumbai Bikers Club, one can clearly see the new Yamaha FZ series motorcycle being road tested, with the new half fairing, which kind of resembles its big brother, Yamaha FZ1.

Even if this motorcycle comes with the same 150cc engine as the Yamaha FZ16 (which we think it will), it would surely be an instant hit amongst India biking fraternity, which has come to love the FZ16 and R15.

Edit: Yamaha Fazer 150 has been launched in India and you can read all about it, over here, Yamaha launches Yamaha Fazer in India.

The Fazer, gets its DNA from the global Fazer series known for their sports touring, awesome looks. It has a “Look-at-me” appeal with the triple macho design concept giving it a concentrated form with excellent ergonomics. It has the beautifully contoured color – coordinated aerodynamic cowling to keep the wind blast at bay. With its comfortable riding position and seat the rider can enjoy a week end getaway or head off on a touring holiday.

Just like FZ16 and FZ-S, Fazer carries the Monocross suspension to ensure agile running performance and handling. The placement of this model’s ‘MidShip Muffler’ toward the center of the machine gives it a good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. Fazer has the “140/60-17” size rear radial tyre with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to better grip and handling stability. The Fazer will be available in four color Electric Blue, Midnight Black, Lava Red and Flaming Orange.
Notable Changes in Fazer Compared to FZ 16:

* Wind tunnel developed aerodynamic cowl and visor protect you from wind blasts on the highway. Enhance stability and riding comfort over long distances.
