i seriously don't understnad one thing. First we keep on asking for few things and then when we actually get them we start finding Negatives in that product..
I seriously feel that the FZ1 is way ahead of other 150's that we have. I'm a die hard Honda fan but i'm a practical person as well. And i can clearly see that it's only yamaha who has given us a exciting bike. and that too not one but 2. Apart from Yamaha and TVS who gae us RTR Fi, how many other makers are giving us actually a new bikes??? Same unicorn engines in 4 bikes, Pulsar with few upgraded every now and then we have been asking for masculine, Naked bike with broad tyres, mono suspension, beafy front forks, digital speedo(India first with digital techo) and decent power. at the end of the day how many time do we actually drag or hit the highway?? And how many time do we actually note the timings of 0-60? What we have here is awesome product . No Doubt.

@sumit: ok i guess we can do with those... but overall the bike does look great. have been told by a good friend who's a journo that this bike is a stunters delight!
@avancy: good words there man! And pulsar has been revamped too many times and we need new bikes! And there are too many pulsars on the road as it is with too many variants.... I hope bajaj comes out with something exciting soon! . Last edited by KwokFist; 09-30-2008 at 10:26 AM. |

First with the R15 and now with the FZ16, Yamaha makes me wonder why they didnt release these beauts a few years ago when I was bought my Pulsar. If only I had a blue R15 & a red FZ16 in my garage. Heaven. Yamaha please dont stop. Give us more. Please.
Bajaj - no more Platina 135s and Discover 145s. We (being a Bajaj loyalist) need a new flagship bike. ASAP. Hero Honda errrr keep restickering and making new ads. |

Saw the bike in the Pune showroom, the orange one is there on display, 72k onroad and 1st delivery starting from 15th Oct.
The booking amount is 10k, no test drives yet, they saying mostly from the 8th of Oct. However they did have the keys to the bike and i did start it. The engine is very very smooth and refined. Exhaust note is a bit muted. I am almost 6'3" tall, the bike ok for my size, not to small. |

Overdrive, Autcar, Bike India, BS Motoring... every mag has covered the FZ16 in their Oct 2008 issues.. But all of these articles are like First Ride / Initial Impression reports.. and Not like a Full Blown Road Test Review.
