          • How much is anyone ready to pay for the FZ with a beefed chassis, artifical cooling, a slightly bigger output and bit more jazz? make that a 200-250CC engine too?

              Do you want a new bike every six weeks?

                No! Yamaha is just wanted cost opinions... it wont be in a race pedigree but in the Fazer (touring) platform...

                  Everything is fine but will it return decent fuel efficiency if the figures of 153cc Fazer is anything to go by!!

                  It gives me jitters if i think of a heavier chassis,those 140 section tyres and a 200cc+ motor on the current setup of the Fazer!!

                    Lots of parametres:
                    1. If they are NOT giving me that old junk from Brazil
                    2. If they are giving me 27 real Bhp at the crank
                    3. If they are giving me 20Nm or more of torque peaking at 5K Rpm (since you said NOT race pedigree)
                    4. If they are giving me an Excellent handling chassis.
                    5. If they are giving me a FE of 30Km/L (for me this is good for 27Bhp!)

                    I will dive for it at anything between 1L and 1.3L

                    Looks do not matter to me.

                    But then that is a Wish List and not speculation! I speculate that None of the above will be satisfied!

                      Darn! You killed it with point 1?
                      Any specific reason for the hatred?

                      I though the Fazer would be a good buy for tourers!

                        It is not hatred. It is antediluvian! It is like buying the Karizma. Why would I buy it? Give me a reason to buy it!

                        • actually Fazer is much better then P220...all it needs is at least a 200cc engine with 6 gears churning out at least 18 bhp

                            I am not sure, if tourer bike of even 250CC needs 6 gears.
