The introduction of the XSR155 in international markets created quite a stir here in India- at least that is what it seemed on the internet. Its modern-retro styling, the R15’s tried-and-tested engine and a rugged appeal made it enticing as ever. However, what we got was the FZ-X- a motorcycle tailor-made for India.
While the move was disappointing to many, after having ridden the FZ-X as our long-term, the motorcycle in itself was anything but. Now, the Yamaha FZ-X has received a model year update and we spent some time with it to tell you what’s different and if those changes have added any value to the motorcycle.
