Yamaha India updates its SX-X and SZ-R models with new colors/graphics and adds a kick starter..
Yamaha India had launched three models under the SZ brand name in August/September 2010. Unless one keeps a regular tab on the 2 wheeler scene in India, its a bit confusing for the common man to differentiate between the three SZ models.
When first launched, SZ: Had only Kick start and had no tank scoop, SZ-X: Had Electric start (but no kick start) + had a tank scoop & SZ-R: Had Electric Start (but no kick start) + had a different tank scoop design than the SZ-X + had a front disc brake.

What's new in the 2012 upgrade?: Yamaha India has added the earlier missing Kick starter along with the Electric starter on the SZ-X and SZ-R models. Also the SZ-X and SZ-R models get slightly redesigned decals and a new "Silver" color.
The base SZ model seems to have been untouched also in the technical specifications remain almost identical with the older model except for the 2 kg increase in the kerb weight.
Price: When launched the SZ-X had a price tag od Rs. 52,000 (Ex-Showroom Delhi) and the SZ-R Rs. 55,500 (Ex-Showroom Delhi). It is not known whether the price has been increased for the 2012 SZ-X and SZ-R models.. but even if there is an increment, it would not be too substantial.

Hd never actually paid attention to this bike. It actually looks good especially the ones in only silver and only black. They shud promote this bike more
wake up yamaha after the launch of R15 and FZ in 2008 its now 2012. is this the best that yamaha india can do?
the new pulsar will soon blow yamaha to pieces
Yamaha is getting the market share in the premium segment.Last year yamaha gained 8% market share where bajaj loses 6%.Yamaha is going great.YES!YAMAHA!
Good move. This kickstart was badly needed in SZ-R to woo conservative customers, and it practicality is required in indian traffic situation. Now, SZ-R sales will definitely increase.
Also, with adding kickstart, kerb weight has increased by 2 kg. Kerb weight is now 134 kg, but this is still one of the lightest 150cc bikes. Good city bike.
But needs digital speedo. Even 125 cc bikes are having digital speedo now.
Yes Yamaha. Please consider others comment & have stylish Digital speed o Meter. Since generations have changed & Even low profile 100 CC bikes are also have digital Meter
sz x in metallic colour looks stunning than the colours available in sz r..definitely kick star option was badly required... don't know why they launched without it because it is neither a 1000 nor a 500 cc bike that you find it difficult to kick, no wonder why their sale could not improve..
is it gud szr bike
or honda unicon
compare so which one is best
Need pass switch
I WANT PRISE IN ANDHRA PRADESH WILL U SEND IT.............!
This bike design is quite nice, i like it, simple yet elegant, but ......
12 fuckin PS out of a 150cc modern engine ?? Are you kidding me ? This is all Yamaha can muster with all of their engineering resources ? I suspect the engine is a derivative of FZ engine, which is not quite a gallant, efficient performer in itself, and to make it more commuter friendly, they have to somewhat "choke" its fuel consumption, no wonder the output's quite horrible.
Yes, Kick is must for bike. I think it is very good bike and price also lowest as compare to other 150cc bike. Thanks Yamaha to launch this city bike.
I wants to know the speedometer cable part code of sz r coz my cable is damage...plz send msg on my ph 09416376835
manas
