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