Yamaha FZ-X Trademarked in India: As per one of the recent reports, Yamaha has filed FZ-X trademark application in India and it is rumoured to be used for the upcoming 250cc adventure motorcycle, which will be based on the FZ25 street bike. Since all the major brands are profiting from the quarter-litre motorcycle segment, Yamaha launching a new 250cc motorcycle will be one of the wisest steps ahead in the right direction.
At present, the 250cc motorcycle segment is conquered by brands like KTM, Bajaj, Husqvarna, Hero MotoCorp as well as Suzuki. Launching an adventure motorcycle based on the most sought-after Yamaha FZ25 will be a good idea since the brand plans on experimenting in the premium motorcycle segment only and the FZ25-inspired adventure bike will feature all the premium components from its streetfighter sibling.
Another reason for launching the FZ-X adventure motorcycle is that the underlying platform for the FZ25 is relatively new from the brand and would be perfect for offering optimum off-roading performance. The engine equipped on the FZ25 is ready to be taken onto the adventure motorcycle considering the fact that it offers optimum power and torque figures as well as requires simpler construction.
Apart from these, as the FZ25 platform is inexpensive to be transformed into an adventure bike, one can expect the upcoming 250cc Yamaha adventure motorcycle to be priced competitively when compared to its closest competitor KTM 250 Adventure. According to the details available, FZ25 is the best candidate for the adventure bike since it weighs just 152kgs while gets a seat height less than 800mm.
If the brand plans on converting the existing chassis of the FZ25 into an adventure motorcycle, all they have to do is reposition the handlebar higher and offer longer-travel suspension. One can expect Yamaha to officially confirm the FZ-X adventure motorcycle in the coming months if the sales numbers for its competitors like KTM turn out to be impressive.
