Yamaha October price hike: details
The month of October has brought a small price hike to a few models in Yamaha’s Indian motorcycle portfolio. Starting with the smallest bike to get dearer, the FZ-X now costs Rs 1,000 more and is now priced at Rs 1,33,900. The neo-retro FZ-X is one of the rivals to the recently-launched Kawasaki W175 and you can see how these two bikes stack up on paper here. The FZ 25 and FZS 25 are now costlier by Rs 1,000 as well, now costing Rs 1,47,900 and Rs 1,52,400, respectively.
The MT-15 receives the smallest price hike of the lot, costing Rs 500 more now. The base black MT-15 now costs Rs 1,63,900 and the various colourways it is available in are priced at Rs 1,64,900. This hike doesn’t affect the MotoGP colourway which still sits at the top of the MT-15 range, setting you back by Rs 1,65,900.
The current flagship in Yamaha’s Indian motorcycle lineup, the R15M, also received a price hike of Rs 1,000. This hike only applies to the grey colour scheme and the beautiful World GP edition, not the MotoGP replica paint scheme. This hike pushes the price of the R15M (grey) to Rs 1,89,900 and the World GP edition to Rs 1,91,300. Despite this price increment, the MotoGP replica colourway of the R15M remains the most expensive Yamaha bike in India priced at Rs 1,91,900.
Yamaha recently introduced a range-topping MotoGP colourway for their sporty Aerox 155 maxi-scooter and you can read more about it here. While currently Yamaha doesn’t have any premium bikes on sale in India, a commercial on their social media platforms with the R7 supersport bike and the MT-09 naked bike running Indian number plates suggests they might make a comeback in the premium bike segment soon.
