Was watchin this section of t-bhp everyday with a raised eyebrow as to why ain't there a thread for the FZ/FZ150 which created quite a wave along with the R-1-Five at the Auto Expo. Well, many people were of the view that the FZ would fade down like the Gladi concepts from the last Auto Expo. Somewhere, I was feeling that(or rather praying 'please Yamaha, bring it on!') the FZ would come to life. And today's Karnataka's local daily 'Vijay Karnataka' had a half page ad showcasing Yamaha's new daddy head and that he was inviting dealership business.

The ad showed the gallery of the available models of Yamaha and 2008 slated launches which had the R-1-Five and (Yes! Yes!..) the FZ/FZ150. I've taken the snapshot of the Ad(excuse me for the poor image quality because SE W810 is all the lens I have!) where you can see the two bikes with '2008 ralli bidugade' (kannada for '2008 Launches'). I tried to post the image from the site of Vijay Karnataka, but I don't know why their site's not showing up. If anyone has a better link to the same Ad, please do the needful. Speculations about the FZ/FZ150 launch being near Diwali are already in the air.

So, some hope for all the Yamaha fans then. Please, share with whatever info you have about this bike.
