YAMAHA FZ 16 pictorial review,price,specs

18 09 2008

Yamaha Motor India Limited is ready to launch Yamaha FZ-16 on Indian roads by mid September 2008! The bike has all the latest technology features that the customer craves for. The stylish yet innovative FZ-16 has macho and muscular looks redefining the 150cc bikes segment. The Yamaha FZ-16 is an urban-cool motorcycle built for great performance and easy-living functionality

price of this bike is kept very competitive and it’ll surely cut the power cords of bajaj’s pulsar and hero honda cbzX,hunk etc cuz the’ve nothing to offer which is as good as this bike if u don’t believe this just go n take a test ride and of cource we can’t question yamaha’s engine performances since they are awesome and for those  who just need wide tyres it has 140/60-R17 .

update_1 : forgot to mention the all digital console that lotta people have been lookin for a long time .. although bajaj XCD has a total digi console but it looks bad and lacks a digital tacho.. also the centre of gravity of this bike is low giving a nice balance on treacherous turns ;)

update_2.1 : things that you wud’nt notice

  1. air cooled engine (no liquid cooling like tat with r15).
  2. 5 speed gearbox (nothing unusual here ).
  3. excessively colorful console.. looks awful.
  4. forgot to mention the all bullshit handle bar !
  5. overall specs are common and not like R15
  6. fragile tank and all other plastic cosmetics… definately not male ;)
  7. No fuel injection.

Update 2.2:

mileage test 1: 49kmpl @ near constant speed of 40 km/hr @ cold engine

the fz ran 24.4 km on measured 500ml of petrol that gives 48.8km mileage on 1litre of petrol

mileage test 2: 44kmpl @ near constant speed of 40 km/hr @ hot engine

fz bein pre run 2 about 30 kms the mileage drop is 4.6km i.e around 22.1 km / half litre

that is bout 44.2 kmpl

Asus P320

8 09 2008

The Asus P320 is the latest Windows Mobile offering by Asus. It is one of the most stylish smartphones ever made by Asus. It is very light weight at just 105 gms. The Asus P320 is amongst the cheapest Windows Mobile smartphones with slightly better hardware specs compared to other smart phones in the same range. But it still is a good buy considering its price.

Pros:

  • Small size
  • Stylish Design
  • Good Build quality
  • Inexpensive

Cons:

  • Low RAM, Processor
  • Bad Camera
  • No 3G
  • No FM radio
  • No A-GPS
the biggest con is slower processor speed since half of the games wont work on a 200mhz mobile processor just like some softwares such as browsers like opera would respond slower with it + VOIP will be affected by this processor but this is what we can best get at this price range .
