FZS V3 Deluxe

Reliability is a huge focus of Yamaha bikes and a huge portion of it uses their motorbikes for day-to-day commute and tour. The FZS series brings just that to the table but with a whole lot of style added to it. It seeks to be an absolute rock for job holders who use bikes for their daily commute. 

Appropriately nicknamed 'Lord of the street,' the bike features a 149cc single-cylinder four-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC (Single Overhead Cam), and fuel-injected engine. Yamaha found the perfect ground between superior balance, control, and speed while creating this bike but they have added a few new ingredients to it, namely Style and Safety. This may be a commuter bike but it also features a sporty and muscular look and state of the art safety features.

Not only that, it has received significant upgrades from its predecessors for better fuel economy and improved emission standards. This is complemented by superior acceleration and control because time is of the essence and the FZS V3 Deluxe understands its users need to reach their destinations in a safe and timely manner. In addition to that, the bike has various comfort features to ensure that riders can enjoy the smooth riding experience with a certain degree of comfort.
