    and for 100, don't remember.. Rarely get to do so..
    so it means gear ratios of fz and sz-r are same till 5000rpm because sz-r also touch 60kmph @5000rpm...???

      Can't comment on sz-r, as haven't ridden one..
      You can check both their specfications.. The exact gear ratios are given there..

      Ride safe and have fun.

        thanks in advance...
        Exactly @ 4k rpm, the speed is 57kph. So, 60kph should be close to that only. As far as i remember, 100kph was 7k or something, not sure though.

          are you sure dude...???
          as per your reply fz will do 80kmph at around 5500rpm which is very good...

            Fazer/Fz does 70 km/hr at exactly 5000 rpm on stock settings.

                don't you think 4000 rpm for 60km/h is wrong..!!
                mine does 62km/h at 5000rpm..

                          For that, you need to visit respective showrooms and ask for assistance.

                            Although the observations are not wrong, it should be added that there are far too many variables here to generalize this way.
                            This includes tire pressure, slope/gradient of the road, ambient air temperature and pressure, engine health, weight on the bike etc. just to name a few.

                            RPM alone cannot be considered as an indicator of gear ratios.

                            The FZ/Fazer series bikes are generally short-geared. Thats why they have good acceleration but lack top-speed compared to other bikes in this segment (the Pulsars for e.g. are taller geared). If you are looking for exact gear ratios, here is the information from the Yamaha website.
                            For FZ/Fazer: 1st=2.714, 2nd=1.789, 3rd=1.318, 4th=1.045, 5th=0.875
                            For SZ-R: 1st=2.714, 2nd=1.789, 3rd=1.318, 4th=1.045, 5th=0.916

                            You can see that the gear ratios are the same except for the 5th cog. Its taller on the SZ-R.

                            Hope that helps

                            Cheers!!

                              Well, not really, the bike will reach to its said RPM at the exact gear. With a pillion sitting, load on the bike or something like that, the only thing will be that, the speed will be the same, but we will not be able to feel it until we see the speedo for the same

                                On my bikewith 14T front sprocket and 40 T rear sprocket OEM factory settings:

                                @ 4000 rpm: 55 kmph
                                @ 4500 rpm: 60 kmph
                                @ 7300 rpm: 100+ kmph
