i second that. I saw the bike in the Bangalore showroom, opposite Forum. I couldnt help think, man, this thing is HUGE! Everything from the forks, tank, the side panels, and of course the TYRES. 100 up front and 140 at the back??? Are you KIDDING me?? Amazing road presence, this BEAST will have. FZ16, in my opinion, is going to a MAJOR success. And, oh yes, by the way, Yamaha India is not only pointing in the right direction but its moving ahead big time.

too good...... am hooked to all the discussions on FZ16....seems like the best 150cc class bike.... and un-doubtly the best looking bike in the country. The quality levels are something we have never seen on our Indian bikes.
Looks very similar to the FZ1..... just got this pic off the net :

I belive yamaha should have given a comment to this

"Real Muscles matters"

Not against anyone or any bike.
