Bike Query Approved

Ill tell you something simple i have told few of my friends who all ended up buying a Hunk.
You want Millage?-then get HUNK or for everything else get FZ.
Couple of my friends who got the HUNK are facing several issues with it.I dont know if this is a one off issue or a common one.You might want to check with the owner's and the ownership thread.

NOTHING will go wrong with the fz... have been riding one form the past two years. done off roading, rode it on a beach, inside 1 feet of water, national highways, apart from snow my fz has seen everything be it riding continuously for 2 hours at a stretch in 47deg C or 500+ km rides in a day at speeds close to 100kmph....

if you are not concerned about the mileage that much I would suggest you not to doubt the fz's performance..... fz mileage is around 38+kmpl.

I have no opinions about the hunk except that it has a reliable engine from honda, looks are totally subjective, better rear seat for sure...

But since your majority use will be in the city and taking an assumption that the ladeej in your life can adjust to the rear seat, I would suggest you go for FZ...

my reasons:
1. amazing bottom and middle end.
2. reasonable top end
3. yamaha performance
4. looks(subjective)
5. the Phat tyre
6. lots of scope for modifications

The Fz suits you the best. Why dont you give a try for P150 or SZ. Even they are suiting you well.

thank @MG for approvel. thanx @EVERYONE for your time and replies.
can someone please tell me the on-road price of FZ16 and FZ-S in Punjab.

dad has agreed for HH HUNK so i would like to know how much more will it cost than HUNK(i told dad that hunk is arond 60k-65k).that means how much more from 65k in punjab....

no offence to anyone ...but pulsars are the most common bikes in punjab when it comes to bikes for youngsters and i dont like their quality..
and SZ ...it doesn't look that much appealing to me(looks)....thanx for ur time and advice

Thanx a lot dude..and one more thing .i will be driving normally at a speed of 30-70kmph...so wat the chances of mileaage being close to 45kmpl..
and bhai bike toh a jaye..ladeej bhi mil jaegi phir shayad

thanx friend...what if the tire is changed to 130 instead of 140...what changes i must expect then in performance

can someone please tell me the on-road price of FZ16 and FZ-S in Punjab.

call up the yamaha dealer in ludhiana he will tell you exactly how much it is...

Both are good . Hunk would be good for performance and mileage. Fz16 would be good for looks (streetfighter) ,monsoon (rear tire) . Frankly there is no bad bike in today's date -all depends on what you wnt.
Just asking did you consider stunner ?

i'm 5'10 , 77kg college going 21yr old.
now looking for my first bike.
budget is far most stretchable to 70k(otherwise 65k).
i have a scooter right now.bike will serve same purpose.city riding(30-70kmph).90kmph is a rare chance(not that rare),mileage acceptable atleast 40-45kmpl
i'm looking for a 150+cc bike.
my priorities are(in order of importance)
performance and handling(no probs till 85-95kmph,85%city 15%highway)
looks(muscular and not much fairing)
reliability(no major probs for atleast 2-3yrs)
comfort(good for atleast 100km at a stretch for rider,which will be twice a month)
should not be omnipresent(eg pulsars,splendors etc. etc.)

eg; FZ16 or FZS, HUNK, APACHE, ....i mean good looking and good performing
need a lot of help

Hi, dude I too spent a lot of research before buying my first bike. Previously I roamed around on a scooter and now own a Fz-16..
I too had shorlitsted the Unicorn,FZ,Hunk and Apache 160....

performance and handling : Out of the above 4, the best handling is offered by Fz and Unicorn... The Fz is more of a mid-end torque monster, meaning it brings out its best performance in the middle range making it the best choice for cities. Handling is also good with the bike weighting less than 130kg, chances of accidents or out of control are absolutely nil. The other 3 weigh more.

For speed above 80, only the Apache performs as the FZ is not comfortable, Unicorn and Hunk develops vibrations. But Apache falters in the handling department
Apache : Full performer
Unicorn/Hunk : Gradual performer overall
Fz : low-mid end performer

looks : 1)FZ
2) FZ
3) FZ
4) Apache,Unicorn,Hunk

reliability : Unicorn, Hunk,FZ, Apache.... You can absolutely trust the Unicorn and Hunk and FZ....

comfort : 1)Unicorn : comfort for rider and pillion (100%). Good riding position. Wont feel any kind of strain..Monoshock suspension is surely the best for our roads.
2) Hunk : Rider (70%), Pillion (30%)....
Not bad for the rider and pillion
3) FZ : Excellent comfort for the rider but sadly nil for the pillion as the rear is puny.... So if 90% of your trips are going to be alone, then this wont be a problem...
4)Apache : Riding position is a bit of a strain compared to the other 3.



So out of your choices, if you chose the Hunk,
Hero Honda's excellent service, better mileage 45-50kmpl and 55-60 in highways, Good looks and design but bulky and not so perfectly tuned engine.

If Fz, mileage at 40-45kmpl city and highway, Yamaha's not-that-much-bad-service, Good handling and less risks of accident. Braking is the safest of all the above.

FZ s is a waste of money....Just a visor and different paint streaks and 3k extra...

So I chose a Fz-16, black in September 2009 and since then I have ridden it for around 10k km. Not even a single accident or scratch and I feel its the safest 150cc bike... Mileage minimum - 33kmpl (ripping at 90-100km/hr)
Maximum - 51kmpl ( 45-50 km/hr in 4 laned highway)....

thanx buddy..evem i'm going to buy a black fz-16 in september....making us both EX-SCOOTERER....
