After doing a very very long research for abt two months with this website I decided to buy yamaha FZ..being a software guy I reach home by 10 :30pm so I hardly got any tym to drive my bike home from showroom since show room time was only till 7:30, so I req showroom guys to deliver it to home..i was not lucky ehough to drive my bike home from showroom...i reach late at nite and was so so so excited to see such a huge bike coz I never in my life drove a 150 cc bike ..i was using platina previously...i was so scared ...but once I sat on bike I cud very easily balance it and I felt it to be so weightless..to be very very frank after reading so many review in this site my expectation abt my first driving was too high tat I never felt any differance as I imagined with this bike I felt to be as same as my old bike...both bike were smooth, noiseless...may be I did not noticed the change prperly coz I was so very tensed with its gear sys ....gear system of platina is so easy but for FZ I find it to be very difficult and spoiling the shoes...some one in a review said gear is so smooth but I find it to be very hard I dono why (may be its my lack of driving skill).. gear is like1 down and 4 up I really feel bad tat they have only one lever for gear ....i feel tat it wud be g8 if we have one more lever near the shoe heel so tat we can very easily operate gears....ater going for a 100 km ride I really analysed so many things abt the bike ....the bike can reach 40 speed in no tym unlike any other bike ...and the bike can even stop in no tym even in 60 speed ...one thing which makes the bike so interesting and very safe is front brake ....u can totally trust ur front brake and drive bike in any speed .....and no chance tat ur bike will skid...surprising once I have to put a sudden brake in a very sandy surface if it was any other bike I bet u tat t he bike will fel down ...but FZ have a gr8 grip.....ppl say horn is bad but its realy good ....i need not say a word abt look every one on road will admire ur bike for sure ..ppl say mon cross suspension bla bla bla bla just the bike gives same amount of jerk like any other local bike ....i personally never felt any additional suspension due to mono cross technology its as normal as any normal bike
