I don't get it about zigwheels, they rated A-star as amazing car competing with i10 that car is 998CC even less than santro 1.1, i wonder how good are there bike reviews.

FYI - i personally like FZ

I failed to get your logic, just because the engine displacement of Astar is smaller than that of santro/i 10 it doesnt mean its a bad car. FYI astar produces better power even with a smaller engine and the top of the line model zxi boosts of more feature than directly comparable magna model of i 10 and that too a lower price. So i feel if zigwheels has judged astar to be a compratively better car they are doing their jobs as finely as they can.

I agree with zigwheels.com for awarding FZ16 as the best bike in India... it deserves the crown.

Welcome back Yamaha..

Fz16 & Stunner are surely the new generation trendsetters launched this year. I think 2008 is (was) really proved very fruitful year for Indian biking world.

dunno but adil jal is not one of my favorite reviewers i would have liked to See R15, Fz 16 is not even a long termer to get the award, i feel bike should be long termer.

@MG: It really does not matter which of the bike was given the title. Both are from Yamahas. Pick up a copy and you will know why.

Personally, I do adore the Fz16 a lot, if it only was at least 16+ bhp.

The FZ16 definitely deserves the tag, this bike will (hopefully) be the trend setter from now... Only if had a bit more power... aah!
