Experience
After 200km
The beast is so smooth and godgeous to ride. Its highly stable and gives confidence in taking sharp turns. Engine is so refined and low vibrating that it doesnt really feel running at times. Riding position is a bit leaned and sporty. Might be an issue for long rides but in city rides it feels very sporty. Front disc brakes are powerful but rear drums are weak and rear brake is position low as per my experience. Suspensions feel a bit hard. The instrument cluster is digital and quite nice. RPM range is animated great and readable in day light also without any problem. The new eco drive indicator lights on while the bike is rode at efficiency. I reached 80kmph. Still controlling myself until the breakin period is over. Seats are more comfortable now and pillion seat is a great improvement. I surely felt a let down in terms of power and torque. My bike goes as high as 4000RPM at speed of 40kmph in 4th gear and i dont think this one easily accelerates from 30kmph in 5th gear without jittering. I wonder how can my FZ accelerate slower than an activa. I did a small race to check its power. What i presume is that after first service which is at "1000km", i might see an improvement in performance. But overall the bike is really smooth and good looking and the rear of this FZ is a beauty to watch.
