Unbelievable.

Yes possible, after the FZ all me shoes have thei toe bit worn out

I am sure a better n braver rider is capable of scraping knees on a FZ

Great, I'd been waiting for your reply

I'm taking her for servicing tomorrow myself so will make inquiries. I suppose being in Mumbai I may have to shell out a bit more but I'm definitely getting it done... it looks good. BTW do you notice the engine getting hot in traffic due to the fairing? Does the fairing vibrate excessively at high speeds?

This is the fairing from the gladiator SS/RS correct? Also did the official service centre guys do the fitting or did you get it done from somewhere else? Thanks in advance for all your info

well how will it vibrate when it doesnt even reach what we call high speed

it barely goes 110.. were my girlfriends hair also don't shake in wind.. and never felt engine getting that hot.. its normal as much engine should be.. and i got it done from yamaha only not from out side.. its from gladiator now i dont know its varients.. but you can surely find out its of wich model.. if you got any doubt call me tommorow.. 08091206619

Sorry guys to interrupt your conversation. Currently I own a RTR 160, which is good for carrying three of us (Me+wify+mykid,age1.6yrs) in city limit. Now the problem is that, I am kind of bore with the RTR and the main cause is the lack of DC lighting. I have decided to buy a FZ-S in coming October, do you guys think FZ can handle our load and will be OK with monocross suspension, I mean in my RTR, I never face bottom out when riding with my two pillions. Do you guys face bottom out with FZ? And what millage should I expect from FZ in city?

Last question: Do you think it will be a wise idea to switch to FZ from RTR?

test drive the fz and if you like it go for it.. otherwise dont.. fz had a load capacity of 190kilos (given in manual) but then the seats are not designed for more than 2.. but i have seen 3/4 people ride on fz.. they managed !

rear seat will be uncomfortable for women especially for people on the heavier broader side even more so on long runs.. fz has enough ground clearance so you neednt worry about bottoming out.. mileage you could expect anywhere from 30-40kmpl.. i would suggest a bigger cc bike for your purchase..

i dont know, never owned a bigger bike than fz.. try any of the 180's (pulsar,rtr) or the 220's(pulsar, karizma) or a bullet.. cause either way you will not lose on mileage and it would be more comfortable for your family and you would be happy with your upgraded performance !

**kauria** · 08-04-2010, 12:15 PM

OK thanks everybody who shares their ideas.

FZ it is!

Hi,

Let me start by firstly thanking each one of u for the comments you have posted which made me decide on the bike!....

Was planning to choose a bike....deciding between FZ and dazzler.....(I initially had GS in mind too....but changed my decision after going thru GS150 ownership thread)

Read thru the complete FZ ownership thread...!! It really helped in identifying my "Soul mate"!

The thread gave a complete run through on each part of the bike!!....it was an awesome read....

Am booking the L.O.T.S. today!!!!
