India Yamaha discontinues five motorcycle models

India Yamaha has removed as many as five commuter motorcycles from its official website, indicating that these models may no longer be offered as part of Yamaha’s product line-up.

The models which are likely to be discontinued include the entry level YBR 110, YBR 125, SS 125, SZ-S, as well as the 150cc SZ-S and SZ-RR bikes.  

So, now Yamaha’s entry level offering is the 106cc Crux, followed by the 125cc Saluto, which recently got a disk brake version as well. The commuter 150cc segment will be served by the SZ-RR Version 2.0, which remains in the product line-up, even though the earlier generation SZ-S and SZ-RR have been phased out. The SZ-RR Version 2.0 will be the entry-level 150cc bike, placed just below the FZ series.

Yamaha has also decided to keep the bestselling earlier generation FZ, FZS and Fazer in the product portfolio, alongwith the current generation fuel-injected ‘Version 2.0’ FZ, FZS and Fazer models.

So, with this trim up, India Yamaha’s current product line-up will include 16 models in all – Crux, Saluto, Saluto (Disk Brake), SZ-RR Version 2.0, FZ, FZ Version 2.0, FZS, FZS, FZS Version 2.0, Fazer, Fazer Version 2.0 YZF-R15 Version 2.0 and the all-new YZF-R3. Yamaha’s CBU line-up includes the FZ1, YZF R1, YZF R1M and the VMAX power cruiser. Yamaha’s scooter range will continue to include the Ray, Ray-Z, Alpha and the Fascino.
