In totality both bikes are now dearer by Rs 13,000 & Rs 9,000 respectively.
While there are no mechanical changes to the engine or increase in the power output, largely a demand among motorcycle enthusiast, FZ V3.0 gets several design upgrades. Majorly borrowing the design cues from its elder sibling FZ25 range, new FZ range boasts of a new LED headlamp setup, all new digital console, a single seat unit as opposed to split seat on previous model. The exhaust also gets a new design similar to FZ25 however there are no changes to tail section.
