New Delhi: Five new motorcycles from the Japanese automaker Yamaha have been introduced in India. The FZ-X, MT-15, FZS, FZS-FI V4 Deluxe, and R15M are among them. All of the bikes are compliant with the OBD-2 standards that go into effect on March 31 and are available with new features and color options. The two-wheelers' mechanicals, however, have not changed.
