Yamaha Motor India has kick-started the year with the launch of the 2019 FZ V3.0. With prices starting at Rs. 95,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), the 2019 Yamaha FZ V3.0 is set to be the next big volumes spinner for the manufacturer. In fact, the company is aiming to sell about three lakh units of the new motorcycle that goes on sale by the end of January 2019. The first generation Yamaha FZ was launched in 2008 and with the third generation version, the motorcycle gets a chance upgrade to the styling and feature list.

Yamaha says it's confident about the new FZ V3.0, given the popularity of the outgoing model that continues to sell in large numbers. In 2018, the bike maker sold about 1.8 lakh units of the FZ range in the country, and are confident that the slew of changes will help the company achieve the three lakh sales mark. The confidence for the volumes is further backed by the massive success of the Yamaha R15 :.3.0 that was launched last year and has done really well for the company with volumes of the R15 nearly doubling to 7000 units per month.
