The Yamaha FZ V3 has been a favorite in the Indian motorcycle market since its release. But as we approach 2025, there’s a debate over whether this model still holds up to newer competition. Reliable and comfortable ergonomics are some of the qualities some riders sing its praise while others say it lacks many modern features and performance. Often there is discussion on the bike’s design and that of the older versions of the bike seems to be preferred by some. Such as build quality, long term reliability and availability of aftermarket parts also comes into play. Furthermore, we look at how well the FZ V3 adheres to current emission norms and if Yamaha might be preparing for a big update or replacement soon.
