I test rode the FZS today. Here's my verdict:
- Best City Bike - Ever! End of story!
If you need a bike for city commuting only, the only reason for you not to buy the FZS should be - its beyond your budget!
THe reason I did not buy it - It won't be very good on the highway with no wind protection for the rider and a little aggresive seating position which is perfect for city riding though!
I had a pillion - the guy from the dealership and I was supposed to go up a ramp of mud and from almost dead speed the bike pulled very easily in 3rd gear. Engine purred like a kitten. So easy to flick.
And as for looks, I still can not get enough of it. All right I have seen Ducatis and what not but if was using the bike just for commuting to office and running errands in a city, no better way to do than the FZ16
