Showcasing the three new bikes at the 9th Auto Expo at New Delhi, Sanjay Tripathi, department head, product planning and strategy, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt Ltd, said that the bikes, in sync with the Yamaha DNA, have features from the original bikes with fine tuning being done to fit the Indian needs.
Like the YZF-R15 has percolated technology from R1. It also has the R1 six-speed transmission. Similarly, the FZ is being toned down to 150 cc from the existing global version of 1,000 cc.

Acknowledging the fact that Yamaha was not a very competitive player in the Indian market, the newly appointed chief executive officer and managing director, Tsutomu Mabuchi, said, "We are not strong and competitive player. We want to strengthen our presence here with the support from Yamaha (Japan)."
