No doubt that after producing outstanding YZF R-15, Yamaha has come up again with a masterpiece FZ 16, a naked bike having really good and Masculine looks, as most of the enthusiasts wish for wider tyres so here we are provided with really really wider tyres than the traditional ones, however m not sure of the fact that : "are they going to affect the pickup?? and ofcourse the torque for which the bike is meant to b...., but I hope it will b having all good and beyond expectations.....
Now talking about the engine, the beauty has got 14ps of power at 7500 rpm which is gud in the segment coz all the other bikes of the segment have got low or same or slightly more power, for those who have got slightly more power deliver it at higher rpm’s so here also FZ wins, torque is awesome, 14Nm at 6000 rpm and the best in class, no liquid cooling here, but has no effect overall
Then comes the Chassis, however it shud not b discussed coz this bike has originated from fz1 and provides perfect handling and wider tyres compliment it’s handling. The Frame is Diamond type with telescopic suspension in the front and monocross on d rear side, front forks are the first in india with 41mm diameter which will help in absorbing the shocks more efficiently, moreover, adding musculine look to the bike, wheelbase is gud 1335mm and I think longest in class.
The front disc is comparatively larger providing better braking power but confused why not equipped with the rear disc also, anyways overall braking seems good.
The 100/80-17 / (front) 140/60-R17(rear) tyres provides exceptionally good balance and cornering, also adding a lot to the looks.Also the height of the bike is kept good.
Now at last comes the looks, u all tell me does it lacks something..somewhere in looks, I don’t think so..... it has got purely muscular looks from every angle and yes the most important of all the price tag, I hv heard that it’s 65k and i hope that, on road it wud not cost more than 69k, and thanks to Yamaha for keeping the tag low.
