Features cosmetic changes.

On the sidelines of flagging off the "Mission 10,000 km" expedition which will see 20 Yamaha FZ-S FI V2.0 riders cover the mentioned distance across the country, Yamaha has gifted Bollywood actor Mr. John Abraham a special edition FZ-S.

The special edition features purely cosmetic upgrades.

The Yamaha FZ-S John Abraham Edition provides exclusivity by means of a unique black and grey dual-tone color theme with interesting decals. The fuel tank features the actor's signature and the forks are adorned with FZ-S decals, matching the body color.

Yamaha has not announced whether it plans to sell this special edition to customers or it is an example for Mr. Abraham. Apart from the exclusive appearance, the special edition FZ-S FI V2.0 stays true to the regular variant which features a new silencer, split seat, revised digital instrument console, tank extensions etc.

It remains to be seen whether Yamaha will sell the special edition model in limited numbers.

The recently launched naked motorcycle is powered by a slightly downsized 149 cc fuel-injected petrol engine which puts out 13.1 PS (12.9 bhp) and 12.8 Nm of torque. The previous version, which continues to sell alongside, is powered by a 153 cc motor generating 14 PS (13.8 bhp) and 13.6 Nm of torque.
