Speaking on the occasion, Motofumi Shitara, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India said, "Yamaha is determined to provide exciting two-wheeler experiences to the Indian customers, the one that has earned it a name to reckon with in the whole world. The Unique Style of Yamaha is well-crafted in all the current line up from the company. While the new FZ 25 will command street adventure with a new heart revving experience, the company's objective to set the global racing excitement into Indian roads will close into a proportionate wholeness.
