    hard to believe for me
    YouTube - Yamaha Fz16 a 139 Km/h!

    oh he just missed 140... As i always say 140 is not that much difficult to attain on an FZ if you have a super speedo error... even i heard from my friend that his R15 showed 190 kmph and he quickly got rid of that... simple... Yamaha is atleats making the speed on the speedo... LOL :P

        er..i dont get this,really.
        you mean there isnt any error when we do 100?
        avg. error compared to a GPS is around 10km for the FZ....i have personally touched 127 on my bike and so have others...this dude gained 10 more kms after a lot of struggling...what so unbelievable?many FZians have crossed 130 btw.

            I know it has burnt my pocket with the fuel conumsumption already.. Wanna know if its gonna coz any other prob... the bike is jus 200 kms old.. Do i need to check up something quick..?
            I had done the exact thing on my bike during run in. Drove for about 9 kms. Like u said the fuel would have been wasted. But apart from that there should be nothing harmful to the bike.

              I see where I went wrong. I viewed the video with a pre-meditated bias that 139 is impossible on this bike. Partly with my own experience of hitting just 110 top speed (and might I add it took a decent length of NICE road for it to reach 110). Once my mind has a bias I doubt everything . Which is why I thought the bike was elevated and that the acceleration was phenomenal I calculated in youtube. 0-60 in 6 sec and 0-100 in 14 which is normal for a 150cc bike.
              Oh and I didnt know it was in Argentina as I saw it from the thread itself and I distinctly heard "Gaadi start" at the beginning of the vid (or did I imagine that too??)

              But I kinda still inclined towards fake. Coz at 120+ speeds I wouldnt (or know anyone who would) place his hands on the speedo just to make sure there wasnt a glare on it. Both my hands would be firmly on the handlebars. (I wish it was the right hand on the speedo, we could've settled this once and for all )

                And how much would this be?? Way better than the previous limited edition (no offence meant to the owners of those).

                Gold alloys look decent. Hope they are better than the black ones

                  now that's a surprise..i have NEVER struggled to reach 110...in fact i do it every now and then(not only on highways)! from 120 onwards i have to crouch and have a decent stretch to progress though.

                    around 3k costlier than the normal! :O
                    the quality of paint job is good though and i agree the scheme is better than the old one.
                    but everyone pls do remember that the spares availability is a pain in the back for the LE's!

                              Rightly said. It can easily surpass 110. Effort from the rider is needed if you need to go further.

                                Even with full open throttle on a straight highway I've never crossed 111 :/
