  • Is FZ-S a good option.Please help me

    Hi freinds,

    I searched many forums but didnt get any satisfactory answer.Hence posting here.

    I am new to biking.Going to buy my first bike this month end. Need your urgent help on this. Is FZ or FZ-S good for a learner(I don't know riding a bike , have to learn on my new bike ..).Is this good for me else please suggest some other option.

    I am an average build guy with height 5 ft 5 inch and weight around 60.

    Thank you ...

      FZ is perfect option for you....
      bieng a first time biker,your priorities should be- awesum handling and comfort,,, FZ is the bike you should have....
      But in my opinion, dont try learning on a new bike.first learn from an old bike then buy the new 1,else you might screw up the pistons,in run in period itself....

          yes, FZ would be a good option for u being a lerner.
          its a great bike

          you can just check out fz owernership thread here

          and subscribe to it when you get one

          other options - any 150cc bike would be good to start with, as you would get to learn and handle more BHP's in proper and in a right way from the beginning.

          i am sure that FZ will teach you how to ride and you need not to learn anything.
          all the best

          regards

            FZ is my first bike learning and after that riding it to its limit..11 months and I am fully satisfied proud owner..close your eyes go for it..my first impression was as it was tailor made for me(a guy who didn't know riding)..follow run-in process religiously till first 1000km..and then open up the throttle and enjoy the magic of power mixed with superb handling..

              I too learnt to ride on the FZ which is 7.5 months now.
              had no issues getting used to the manual riding of bikes after riding automatic scooters.
              FZ is comfortable and fun too.

              just make sure you do a proper run-in and it will give you the smile back for years to come

                      Go for it, its a great handler. Tough the handlebar positioning would make you a little uncomfy in initial days.

                        Go for it its the best for the 1st bike position
                        handling is great you will have great confidence when taking corners
                        comfort of the rider is good but pillion is not so good

                          FZ has wider tyres than any normal 150 cc bikes, I'll help you in balancing and keep you safe while learning. Ride safe and always wear a full mask helmet while riding.
