Hi,

My cousin bro looking for a bike for daily comute,

As he & me both are seduced by its looks....the clear/ transparent floating windshield, it looks fresh among all 150cc commuter out there.

My questions/doubts are (on behalf of him):-

Please note :- Bike we are looking for with no racing instinct, no digital stuff/gadgets, extremely easy to maintain,no periodic maintenance,perform better than passion/glamour in pulling...but not expecting over 50+ milage but over 40-45 milage....and also reliable engine life 5-7 years...looking for no tention bike.

Can Yamaha SZ X/R bike deliver that.....

Question to all owners.

N.B:- Already gone through some review like bike advice & zigwheels, above those question's answer is not there.

apart from above list i like sz-r as it is cheaper too... only 64000 rs on road delhi, also have 150cc engine

^^^^

Chances from getting answer from the actual owner (which is ownership experience) is very thin here in this thread....

Seems not so popular thread, there must be 2 reasons ;

1. either this bike failed miserably and most owner here going to get rid of it anyhow.

2. else a very tension free bike with damm reliable , nothing to write/talk about....a general (not so powerful comparing other 150s) good looking (not so same looking) commuter.

In my locality and surroundings, I noticed increasing number of this vehicle which deny my first point.

It is not Cats & Dogs like Passion/glamour/Shine/Unicorn....but it is there.

Feedback

1. Those windshield comes installed by default with all SZ-x or -r version/ need to a pay premium for that ?

>>>Yes it comes default with the bike you dont have to pay for it..!!!

2. Is it possible to get kick-start model only ? not want to pay fancy self-start feature.....or the kick start come by default ?

>>> Yes for the new model kicker comes by default...!!!

3. Is this is a reliable bike for long run say at-lest 5-7+ years of usage ? Yamaha continue to producing spare for that long ? or discontinue like libaro/ybx/twin bulb bike (forget the name here) ?

I think so its a good bike i have been having it for past 3 months.....

4. Tyres are tubeless ? No... right ?

>>> Tyres are not tubeless..

5. Is there a postion/parking lamp at the bottom Headlight assembly ?

>>> No..

6. According to website as well as color offering, we are currently like SZX all black or SZR all silver.....we both loved for SZX all black treatment....though missed the disk.

My point here, those 2 color scheme are available ? Or they are premium color or something ?

>>> Those two colors are available and u dont have to pay extra for it...you better go with SZ-R rather than SZ-X...

7. with extremely sedate driving in the city limit can we expect bike can give 45+ milage ?

>>> I am getting around 45 in city.....

8. Crash guard/Saree guard comes as a standerd fitment or additional stuff ?

>>> crash guard and saree guard comes with standard fitment....

9. The tank extension which is not look good from the front can be uninstall possible without void warranty ?

>>> For me it looks cool... Im not sure about uninstalling the scoops....

10. what is the amber color indicator on the console ? A malfunction indicator ? for what ?

Hey it is one of the best bike in 150cc class and since the torque is good u can easily drive in the city...
It has a decent pick up but little less than pulsar150 but regarding the reliability issues yamaha is far better than bajaj pulsar...
Its top speed is 112 but it takes certain time to achieve it ....
And even The gear change in this bike is so smooth...,
I travelled around 102 kms in a stretch and i dint hav any back pain so i think so its the best bike for you and you can even test ride it to even know more about this bike...

Why cannot consider GS150R? Surely go for a long test drive on it with a pillion rider to find out whether it is suitable for you.

Thanks a lot.....kirank1222, for replying all my query with patience, This exactly what I'm looking for....some initial assurance. Recently came to know that SZ R or X sharing most parts of it's bigger sibling FZ variants....so I presume this spare will not an issue in future. May be those plastic parts may not be available further down in future. <----please correct if I'm wrong.


Thanks for those line too....It helps, The guy who need this bike drove HH Passion and Street all the way as well as he enjoyed his fair share hooliganism with a RTR 160 and it ended with a crash.

Now as he matured/sedate got the Street & a 4 -wheeler....Hope this bike fits his bill perfectly.

I know GS150R is very good bike, but here in metro city even like delhi... GS150r are very less.... infact i dont like the style..

Apart from this SZ-R launch is new.. & there are many new bike day by day....

Also gs150r on road is 71,000 and Sz-r on road is only 64000/-

I like its clever & smart style... but the problem is that I am not able to make up my mind.. as I need to sell off my passon pro then I have to purchase any 150cc by keeping all my doubt in mind... now please help

Go for SZ-R...GS150R is a good bike but slightly on heavier side, which might not be that easy to handle in traffic conditions with pillion, as you already having back pain issue...anyway test ride and get to know the feeling and then decide...

Differences?

I'm leaning towards the SZX, just 'cause it's available in all Black colour. Apart from the looks [slightly different] and front disc brake in the SZR, are there any other differences between the SZR and SZX? At least I couldn't find any on the Yamaha India website. Also, could owners please shed some light on real world mileage figures of the SZX/SZR?

Cheers,
Vikram

2) parts & maintenance of the bike for long run ????


Also there is one more question what is gear ratio

Gear ratio here means that for every complete rotation(360 deg) of the back wheel sprocket the number of rotation the front sprocket does. In initial gears, the chain makes more movement, this helps facilitate the load carrying, and reduces the stress on the engine too. A final gear ratio of about 0.916 suggests for every 0.9 movement of front sprocket, the back wheel completes 1 rotation. Bikes with more top speed generally has even lesser final gear ratio like 0.8 or so and initial ones around 2. You need not worry about this. The only key factors when purchasing the bike should be:

1. Handling and performance satisfaction.
2. Whether mileage is important criteria i.e if you cover like 100km just in city like for some sales executive, or if you ride only weekends like then mileage should not be deciding factor.
3. Servicing and reliability, maintenance cost.
4. Overall life of a vehicle, i.e you intend to resell soon or keep it for a very long time.
5. Initial cost of the bike you are ready to invest, dont just go for a loan amount if you really cant afford it, wait and save money, its always better.
