Yamaha has launched the Crosser 150 in Brazil recently
Yamaha might not launch the Crosser in India anytime soon. But keeping the popularity of the adventure motorcycle genre in mind, Yamaha could launch an entry-level adventure motorcycle locally based on the FZ FI 150.
Yamaha introduced the retro-styled FZX variant in India already, and if Yamaha plans to introduce an affordable adventure tourer next based on the FZ FI, it could easily undercut the popular Hero Xpulse 200 4V that retails at around Rs 1.32 Lakh (ex-showroom) or the Honda Hornet 200X that retails at around Rs 1.46 Lakhs (ex-showroom).
