So a sports tourer with semi fairing is on the cards ! I hope it's a 250cc atleast.

If other bikes were not visible in the picture i would not have believed on the pictures.

Hmm. Looks they are testing a new half fairing on the FZ. But if it is going to be the same engine + around 3K-6K more on the existing FZ price....then would you buy it? Smack on ZMA territory.

I can imagine what exisitng FZ and especially Fz-s owners would feel after this bike hits the road....

One look at the bike says it all..The same FZ + fairing!!

I am tired with all these punny upgrades and 10-20 cc updates....And ppl were talking about FZ6 and what not..

Mods have to delete all threads which are TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

Believe me, they wont feel anything, because Its a semi-faired bike, and theirs is a naked bike. So Unlike the pulsars, the Exclusivity of FZ-16 still remains

If its 2-3K above FZ, then It surely is a great buy.

Hopefully Yamaha would have given this beast atleast 200cc and 18+bhp,if this not happens than this may prove to be very costly bike as per the features as it would fall directly in Zma's category.Now its all in Yamaha's own hand to finish the competition of p200,p220,new a180 & Zma.Lets hope for the best.Yamaha engineers are you listening?

Wow! Looks cool! If they don't price it too high, it should sell well. BTW, India is seeing specific markets for performance and style for the first time. This bike with the same FZ16 engine but with all the stylish bits will be priced closer to higher performance bikes like Zma. And, it will sell in decent numbers too. Maybe, people do not value performance that much after all!

The FZ was already a headturner and this one ups the oomph factor even futher.Would have liked a 180cc motor to complement the looks.This one would surely rake in decent numbers and would give serious headache to the likes of P180/200 and the A160/180!!
