Associated Motorways (Pvt) Ltd. introduced the Yamaha FZ and FZ-S version 3.0 models to the Sri Lankan market at a ceremony at the Yamaha showroom in Borella last week.
Deputy General Manager, Yamaha, Z. Ziyawudeen said in Sri Lanka in the 150 cc category the Yamaha FZ brand is the No 1 model compared with the other 150 cc models in the market.
He said, “the ABS (Anti–Lock Braking System) for riding safety which prevents the vehicle from skidding and maintains steering control during emergency braking by preventing the wheels from locking up was an important feature of the new FZ and FZ – S version 3.0 models.
The high performance of a maximum torque of 12.8 N-M (1.3KG F-M), a power of 13.2 PS at 8000 rpm with a low fuel consumption due to the FI technology, having the lowest weight in the 150 cc category – 137 kgs with improved engine settings that makes the bike more responsive and quick initial pickup and delivering smooth passing acceleration gives the rider the opportunity to ride comfortably even in heavy traffic.
