    yup tail light was not at all changed from the bike they already had in some other part of the world (where they got it from probably). I never thought the tyres look bad.... they look good atleast to me, coz the tail is small... so has to be the tyre.
    The FZ has a fat rear body part... and a musculine line.... so the 140 section goes well....

        Both the bikes from Yamaha.... the R15 (the killer machine)... and the Brutal FZ..... they dont need any mods as far as I think..... and the R15 looks ok if not bad from the rear...

          the only mods i can think off..are custom graphics and paint jod..performace wise..its got everything better than anything in the market..and the only better thing u can get is from Yamaha itself
          Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

          • FZ required only One Modification

            A cover for the Digital Display

            Im sure that damage's are waiting for the Digital Console -
            since it doesnt have a fairing to protect the display from direct sunlight
            And direct dispose to Rain - Sunlight - Dust

            Would be nice if a specified COver for this Console is provided from Yamaha itself...........

                  • I still haven't gone over to the showroom to take a look at this bike as yet, but I have plans of purchasing it in a couple of months.
                    I don't understand - are there plastic shrouds on the tank?

                    Swiggy Mayhem!
                    We're trying to start an initiative where we're gathering enough photos or videos
                    of erratic Swiggy/Zomato/UberEats riders across all cities so we can cast a spotlight
                    on this issue and try and sort it out. If you video-record as you ride, or have a
                    dash-cam in your car, or can take SAFELY photographs of instances where these riders
                    are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
                    us on the thread above. Appreciate it!

                      the tank is metal inside and fixed but it is surrounded by a plastic shroud. You can customize the color by putting another color shroud as it is an external fit.

                        Now pillion seat may look a bit elevated as with all new bikes (R15, FZ16, P200 & P220). My personal opnion, GR8!!!
                        Coz, under braking pillion will bang his/her head on to the rider's helmet if not in an elevated position (I HATE THAT). Also from pillion's point of view, its actually good coz now she/he doesnt have to peek around to see ahead, which i always do if I am the pillion.

                          Thats a good point, however I find the seat a bit too narror.
