  • guys, i find R15's riding position uncomfortable (wrist pain and shoulder pain after half hour of riding,frequent gear changes,foot peg position not too easy on me @ stop and go traffic)..
    How about apache RTR's and FZ16's riding comfort when compared to R15 (seat,foot pegs,handle bars..) ?

      seriously...?
      i thought it would have amazing road presence what with the huge rear end and the beefy front ...
      hoping for deliveries in bangy to start soon

      they will be more comfortable than the r15... those low clip-ons may be good on the track but not on the wrists

      • does FZ16 really feature Yamaha Trottle Response System, supposed to give smooth trottle response and better fuel efficiency? I remember seeing it mentioned in some preview article on the web, but its not mentioned in official website or anywhere else...anybody know for sure

          Road presence, it sure has because it resembles the bigger sibling.. And that rear looks massive..But, seriously, as far as I am concerned, it looks just a little 'small' to me.. But, it's a gorgeous machine, no two thoughts about that!

                        Wah! Kya baat hai... 2nd FZ16 on xBhp and the first two FZ16s on xBhp are both red and from Delhi. Congratulations, solo, and how about giving us your riding impressions in the FZ16 ownership thread?

                        Hoping the rest of us from other metros/ cities/ towns get our FZ16s soon too.
                        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.
