Yamaha’s marketing strategy has been immensely aggressive with launches being scheduled one after the other with products like the Yamaha R15, Yamaha FZ-16, Yamaha SZ, Yamaha SZ-X and Yamaha YBR along with high performance machines like Yamaha YZF R1, Yamaha MT-01 and Yamaha V-Max.
Today the same has launched two new bikes one belonging to the superbike category and other to the SZ series which are Yamaha FZ1 and Yamaha SZ-R respectively. Yamaha SZ-R is exactly same to its elder siblings i.e SZ and SZ-X except for some minor changes.
From the technical point of view it carries the same heart with the same amount of torque and power but appearance wise is well distinguished from the other two in the family.
