Yamaha India that has already updated R15, Alpha and FZ series this year, has now launched the Yamaha SZ-RR version in the country. Priced at Rs 65,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi), this version comes with Blue Core technology.

Powering the new SZ-RR is FZ Fi's 149cc engine, though with a carburetor, that is good for 12bhp and 12.8Nm. Just so you know the old 153cc motor too was producing the similar power output, however, the torque in the new version is provided up at 6,000rpm instead of 4,000rpm in the outgoing one.
