      For your kind of usage, FZ 2.0 suits the bill perfectly. Ticks all the boxes.

        Gixxer is new, issues are not yet known in that bike.

        Fz should be better for you. Only doubt if it will give 50kmpl.

            I purchased Gixxxer a month ago and so far I am really satisfied with it.
            The bike gives you better feeling than FZ.
            Though I am quite disappointed after the first service. The mechanics doesn't even know how to adjust the drive chain optimally.
            Even the sound of bike has changed a little, I am cursing the engine oil for it.

              If you can buy a FI bike, go with that even if you have to pay slightly more. The refinement and throttle response would be much better that its carbureted counterpart.
              Have practical experience with what i am saying.

              Ride safe and have fun.

                    Gixxer or Fz Fi

                    Hi team wanted help here in choosing a bike... I am confused between Gixxer and Fz Fi.... Heard Fz Fi engine needs to be cleaned after every 6000 km and cost around INR 2500. I am looking in terms of reliability, engine refinement and performance.

                      Its not engine that needs to be cleaned periodically, but Fuel Injector. But I am not sure about the cost. I believe it should be less than 2.5k anyways.
                      Post your question in the FZ-FI 2.0 ownership thread, members there should be able to help you.

                        I own Yamaha FZS FI and driven around 4700kms. I am getting very good mileage till now. i had filled 12liters and have travelled approx 710kms. So you can calculate the mileage. And about FI injector cleaning it will cost you around 250rs. Confirmed by SRV people in bangalore.

                          Bro are you sure about it? How does the bike fares while doing 3 figure? Heard about vibrations and not a punchy engine.

                            Suzuki gixxer without a FI compensate it with higher CC engine compared to yamaha as 155cc> 149cc & yet delivers almost comparable mileage to a FI engine costlier bike .

                              Yes i have checked with the SRV people for the same. You wont feel any vibrations till 90-95kms/hr and after that it loose power but vibrations are minimal to handlebar and footpeg.
