Yamaha FZ16 - Bike review

Yamaha FZ16 TankFZ16 - A new great styled stunning naked bike from Yamaha. FZ16 is great competitor in its own way to 150CC segment with other bikes Pulsar, Apache, CBZ Xtreme, Hunk, Unicorn and GS150R. It comes with some new features to two-wheeler market of India.

The best features of FZ16:
1. Full Digital meter console including tachometer.
2. Tubeless tyres for both wheels - helps to reduce the weight.
3. Head light doom – which makes huge difference with other bikes in India. Headlight is very bright gives high beam clearly.
4. Huge looking fuel tank is comes with three pieces unit with plastic resin covers for outer covering.
5. The rear monoshock suspension is too good and smooth. FZ16 is third bike in India to feature Monoshock suspension. (1 - Unicorn, 2 - R15)
6. Largest (140mm/60mm) rear tyre, radial tubeless gives very good road grip even at the bend.
7. Inner tube of front tyre comes with 41mm
8. Very good at power and performance - FZ16’s power/torque figure (14 Nm @ 6000 RPM) is slightly higher than any other bikes in 150cc segment
9. The handle is greatly experimented; and is of the right length and gives great comfort and control
10. An air cooled bike with superb stunned styling

FZ16 does not come with FI technology, crash guard, rear disc brake and kick start. Finally it does not looks so odd with front number plate, but still it kill the stunning stylish look of the bike.

Bike-Price:
The FZ16 is priced at Rs. 65,000 - Ex-Showroom rate.

Some times we ignore the promotion freebies that come with the motor oil that we buy.. Recently i bought a Castrol promotion pack for my bike but wasn't informed by the dealer that the scratch card offer to enter the lucky draw to go to South Africa World cup games and the dealer has assured gifts that we can collect at the time of purchase. Make sure you ask your service dealers for the contest details if you buy one in the near future and collect your assured gift :)
