YAMAHA Motor India has started a new campaign called ‘The Call of the Blue’ and the company has also released a new TVC for the same. The 1:30 minute long video covers all Yamaha scooters and motorcycles available in India, including: Fascino 125 Hybrid, FZ-X, FZ-S, R15 V4 etc. However, TVC also shows two motorcycles that are currently not on sale in India.
The two new motorcycles that will be part of The Call of the Blue TVC include the YZF-R7 and MT-09 premium bikes. Though the manufacturer has not revealed any date, we believe that this could be a hint at their Indian launch. If so, the YZF-R7 and MT-09 could become Yamaha’s first two premium performance bikes in the BS6 era.
