YAMAHA Releases Limited Edition of FAZER, FZ-16 and FZ-S prices & review

Yamaha Motor India launches the Limited Edition of their naked bikes FZ-S, FZ-16 and Fazer as FZ-S limited Edition, FZ-16 Limited Edition and Fazer limited Edition. Mr. YAMMY has recently did some cosmetic surgery on its highly selling model the ‘FZ’ . we must say the yammy did a good job here ,superb look but nothing good inside .

Mr. Yukimine Tsuji, CEO, Yamaha India Motor Pvt ltd.,  said,  today, Yamaha is offering innovative designs, sporty looks and premium features across models as part of its strategy to give consumers a new thrill in biking. The limited edition of high demand model Fazer & FZ series is in line with this strategy.

the engine specifications of FAZER was similar to that of the FZ16’s and the FZ-s , nothing was changed except the headlamp which features double 34watts halogen lamps and that too was copied from the FAZER FZ6 model that’s been selling in u.s for a long time . FZ6- fazer u.s version has a liquid cooled and fuel injected 4 cylinder touring bike but thats not what we’re going to get in india

I think yamaha wants us to believe that by just changing the headlamp  a bike becomes a tourer instead of adding features a touring bike must posses . by making it a limited edition tunes up the selling score.

now lets move on to the LIMITED EDITION A.K.A Fool’s gold

limited edition series has got white shade in combination of black with all new silver finish alloy wheels and are  Available in special paint scheme with white alloys and a dash of blue, only 3000 models of these special editions bikes would be produced.

YAMAHA FZ 16 pictorial review,price,specs

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

YAMAHA YZF R15 review,specifications,price,pictures

UPDATE: i took a ride of this little beast and its totally different from other bikes of the same 150cc category .

first of .. the engine doesnt cry like somebody has squeezed its throat when u take it to near top speed.. honestly i actually didnt took it to that .. has got a smooth throttle response + the feel of this bike is completely different and a good handling capability .. u can actually feel the difference when u rev the engine above 10000rpm..

the CONS ..

..i saw in it was its size … like its a baby r1.. now if u compare this with karizma or hunk the r bigger n more heavy … weight is again a factor with r15 just 120kg and hunk, cbz xtreme r more near to 150kg also the rear tire is thin for a bike of this type..road grip is affected by its weight.. another thing is that this bike is priced high .. i think 1 lakh is too much for a bike like this ./.

in spite of the fact that this is 150cc bike .. the mileage sticks to around 30/Lt…that’s kinda bad.. so do we call it a performer .. or just another fuel sucking bike ..

Yamaha has definitely produced a stunner an UNDER 18 RACING BIKE ..
