  • I would see this bike more as a missed opportunity for Yamaha in India than a ground-breaker.

    Its sad that they couldnt plonk in a more powerful engine inside this extremely presentable bike. I am unhappy that this wasnt available when I was in college: not for any other reason but to be able to see the smug smiles of the riders disappear in the smelly 2-stroke smoke of an RX100 or Fury or Roadking - Eat my dust, choke on my exhaust !

    • Yrcs???

      Guys did you notice YRCS written near on the spark plug cooling channel. Does anyone know as to what it is?? or is it yet another marketing attempt

      Cheers
      Arun you stay in our hearts!! RIP my friend

        • YRCS = Yamaha ______ Cooling System.

          Dont remember what exactly is R. The black box near the spark plug channels air specially to the sparkplug area where engine would heat more at high speeds.

                          • Congratulations to you both! Please do give us your impressions of the FZ16 as soon as possible... Also let us know how good the visibility of the instrument cluster is when under the sun.
                            I don't race, I don't perform stunts, I don't cut across lanes and/ or cut other vehicles, I love to wear my helmet and follow traffic rules/ laws and I prefer safety over surprise... If that is boring and/ or sissy as per you, so be it.
