    Fz 16

    I've booked one but have doubts about the Pillion rider. Average Bangaloreans are obese. So, do you think the seat is too small for the Pillion riders or carrying occasional family members?

        What do you think about the balance at 70+. P's are heavy so they seem to be stable. What abt Fuzzy??

          Javed, you can go through this post of mine - CLICK HERE. However, that post is my personal opinion/ experience. The best thing for you to do would be to take a test ride with a friend and check out pillion comfort for yourself. Best of luck!
          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.

            test rode a fz16 of my collegemate, not buying it thought

            first impressions

            +ves
            -good handling !, i thought it'd be heavy with a wider front tyre
            -excellent braking
            -seating postion is bit low for me, but its good
            -looks and finish , yum yum ( red fz)
            -smooth engine and gearshifts
            -initial grunt

            -ves
            - odd feeling of nothing being in front of you, feels as if your headlight unit has been knocked out
            - paintjob on the rims (rims look very poor in finish,) is there any deliberate reason to this ?
            - saaree guard looks like a ventilator grill
            - exhaust note isnt appropriate for this bike, needs to be bit louder
            - no crash guard, ITS a necessity and can be put since its a naked bike (unlike the R15)
            A man's testosterone level is directly proportional to bhp that he's using on his motorcycle.

              between 70-100 kph it was very much stable...as i crossed 105kph mark it became unstable a little bit.

                See the visible tire width difference between a P220 and FZ-16.




                Amazingly fat, isn't it?

                  How about the Rear End of the R15 as well (along with the FZ16 and P220) for comparison?

                    Man the FZ tyre looks awesome! The tread design and look of the tyre is more like an international bike than an Indian one compared to the zapper on the 220 !

                        what's the price of those indicators. I prefer them to the clear lens ones on my 1 5.

                          Change colour for Rs 2000

                          I just rode a friend's black Fuzzy.

                          Love the clutch and the ample torque.

                          Am really tempted to trade in my 2006 Unicorn for this one.

                          Amazing presence.

                          Liked it better thatn the R1-5 which I rode for a short while.

                          My friend tells me that you can replace all plastic parts for Rs 2000 and get your Fuzzy in another colour !!!

                          That's impressive.

                          Any solutions for the front number plate?

                              1. FI
                              2. A better horn (The bike looks like Dara Singh and the horn squeaks like Lata Mangeshkar)
                              3. Better finish on the alloy wheels (I’m sick and tired of people saying, “Cool bike, but what’s with the paint on the alloys?”)
                              4. Better mudguards (Try riding the FZ16 in even slightly slushy conditions)
                              5. Rear disc brake (Not that the drum brakes aren’t good enough, but it would add so much more appeal to the FZ16).
                              1. FI for this bike need a change to lot of things in the bike so dont expect FZ with FI.
                              2.FYI according to the rules in India the bikes horn should be 72 db, if you want more sound then please go ahead and change it(horn).. It will cause no harm to the bike.
                              3.No comments, Yamaha need to improve on this. Best example, paint on chassis of R15
                              4.No comments.
                              5.Will not come out with this for the same reason mentioned in 1st point. By adding 1 and 4 FZ16 price will go up by 10k.. Are we ready to pay 85k is the question?..
