No official nationwide discount schemes were announced at launch. Dealers may offer introductory accessory packages or small local offers. Taxation follows the local state motorcycle tax slabs, so final on-road pricing should be confirmed with the dealer.
Review
Early impressions position the FZ Rave as a well-balanced 150-ish commuter: comfortable ergonomics, predictable performance, and a feature set that fits everyday needs. Its lighter kerb weight and 149 cc tune make it simple to ride in traffic, while disc brakes and ABS add confidence. The bike is especially suited for riders who prioritise ease of use over outright performance.
Comparisons
The FZ Rave competes with other 150 cc class commuters that focus on practicality rather than high-strung performance. It is positioned slightly below premium 155 cc sporty models in price, making it an attractive option for buyers who want a reliable and affordable urban bike.
