Yamaha Plans More Powerful Fazer

Yamaha India plans to launch a more powerful version of the Fazer in September. The new Fazer is expected to come with extra power to counter the fastest Indian motorcycle, the Pulsar 220. While the Yamaha R15 with performance kit outperforms the Pulsar 220s top speed of 144kmph, Yamaha wants a street motorcycle to dethrone the Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi and thus plan to give more power to the Fazer. The new Fazer is expected to have a 250cc engine with a top speed in excess of 150kmph.
