Yamaha has launched the FZ Blue Flex in India, a flex-fuel variant compatible with E85 (85% ethanol-blended fuel), priced at ₹124,000. Aligned with the government's push away from fossil fuels toward ethanol adoption, the model marks Yamaha's participation in India's shift toward flex-fuel technology.

Even the same FZ, once its fuel compatibility changes, the tuning changes with it. E85 ignites and burns differently from regular gasoline, so the fuel system and materials must have been reworked too. What's actually been changed compared to the old FZ is a quiet detail, but it genuinely interests me technically. I like this kind of behind-the-scenes evolution.

If it actually lowers fuel costs I'm all for it, but not if that gets passed onto the vehicle price instead.

With E85 can you still fill up with regular gasoline too?

A flex-fuel motorcycle is unusual - feels very Brazil.

Brazil's even got E100, so it feels like India's chasing that same path.

85% ethanol is a pretty aggressive move. They're serious about ditching gasoline.

With E85, doesn't it come down to where you can even find a station that carries it?

124,000 rupees for the E85-capable version - wonder what the price gap is versus the regular FZ.
