    • 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

                  • custom paint job it is

                    hey ... that white version is a custom paint job alright ... I stay in Bangalore and when i bought my FZ about a month back the showroom had three different versions in metallic blue , bright yellow and metallic purple as well ... all for 5000Rs extra ...yeah and that white version looks like a cop bike doesn't it ?

                      Yea the white does look like a cop bike I hope them cops dont get ideas of getting FZs and stick to their pulsars... Also i think the black and yellow FZs looks like them pilot taxis in Goa..and I own one of em..

                              Both the bikes by them(GRz) are great especially the yellow one...That's one heck of a paint job...
                              It all begins with a thumb-start -- Oh, wait, I forgot the kill-switch
