We have recently launched fuel injected 'Yamaha FZ FI Version 2.0' featuring our new technology concept called 'Blue Core' which stands for fun riding and economy which is also the official vehicle for this expedition. With such offerings and various customers connect initiatives like 'Mission 10000KM'; we want to encourage the concept of 'Touring' in India. We are certain that our riders will have an experience of a lifetime on this amazing journey through India, discovering and exploring the many diverse cultures this country has to offer. I am sure by the end of this journey each one of them will have many stories to share for a lifetime."

Promoted by Yamaha and in association with Zeegnition, Mission 10000km is an initiative to encourage safe and congenial bike riding across the nation with a theme of 'Discovering a whole new India'. The touring will commence immediately post the flag off. The 20 chosen riders will be divided into two teams of 10 bikers each, one headed towards the East and the other, towards the West, before they converge and meet once again in Chennai which will be their final checkpoint.

The 20 rider finalists were chosen after a round of auditions that included personal interviews and online voting. Over a thousand applications were received from across 9 cities. Only 20 out of these thousand passionate bikers stood a chance to ride free on the open roads of India, to explore the uncharted and live out their passion on a show that is not about competition, but about the joy of riding!
