Scoop Approved!

Nice.

I wonder if there is any power increase, or any other specification that has been changed. Will have to wait and watch.

Since this is a 'news' (more like a scoop

), hence approved. I believe the discussion regarding this should be continued here, and not on the speculation thread.

^ Then its fine..

If this bike would have been powered by a 250 cc engine, then maybe i could have thought of selling my P220!

**Nithanth** · 05-10-2009, 12:58 PM

Sexy man... damn sexy. I would definitely have bought the FZ if this was how a stock FZ looked!

Smart.. very Smart move from Yamaha India.

The appeal and sales of the FZ is only going to increase.. but I doubt that there would be any engine specs.. since it would mean addtional investment.

And moreover, would the FZ16 customer really not buy the Semi Faired version because its power hasn't been bumped up..?? Unlikely according to me.. the USP of the FZ has been the Styling rather than outright performance.

The P200/220, RTR Fi 160, RTR 180 (if case it is priced above the current FZ) and especially ZMA sales might taper off due to this New Style Bhai.

Satyajit, you think/imagine too much..

No bike manufacturer aint gonna launch any 220+ cc bike in the near future as the market share for such bikes would be very very less..

True, the appeal of FZ is definitely going to increase. A 20bhp engine would the perfect complement for these looks. The bike looks way too cool for a ~14bhp power. Its like selling a Karizma lookalike with a 100cc Splendor engine

Looks awesome! Yamaha is striking the right chord

i disagree sir .......... the fairing will only add more weight to the bike ....
plus the FZ-S already cost 75.5 k .......... only for a fairing guys would charge 5k more i guess if they can charge 2k more for a small color change

considering it to be a 153cc and costing 80 k

n even slower than the normal FZ-S or FZ-16 .... IMO it would be simple waste of money .... but then hey ,,, how many performance bikers are out there ........
performance wise considering i comp with zma

,,,,
its nowhere near to it sir n neither do i think it will taper sales of any of the bikes mentioned ........
let the menace come out n we ll see

If this was a test by Yamaha to see public opinion/youngsters opinion on this new semi faired FZ, and, if the response in xBhp is anything to go by, Yamaha has a winner here.
2 threads (with 1 more which was about to come) withing a day of the pics release, and the threads burning pages, I guess the question I had asked in the speculation thread has been answered. People would buy this if priced about the ZMA territory.

I wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha also tweaked the already torquey 150 engine a bit for more power. Whatever come may, Yamaha is on a roll.

EDIT: Hero Honda should come to xBhp often, check out the state of affairs and get their acts together on the higher segment because even though they still have market share, products are coming thick and fast from the competition (Yamaha, Bajaj, TVS).

**KwokFist** · 05-10-2009, 01:23 PM

Looks good, but money talks. IMO currently FZ is overpriced and I wouldn't pay 80K for this bike if it were launched at that price with its semi-fairing form.
