If you want power and you want to cruise on or around 90kmph than you should choose gixxer with eyes closed because it is powerful and torquier than fz. Gixxer is faster to 100 by good 2-3 seconds which means it cruise smoothly around 90kmph with enough juice to overtake. Fz is good for low and mid range only whereas gixxer feels much better than fz after crossing 85kmph mark. Only prob with gixxer is it looks a bit small than fz and its pillion seat is slightly less spacious.

He is asking mainly about the pillion comfort for his mom and spouse and you are detailing him 0 to 100 and all day 90 kmph cruising .

Keep ur friends close.....but keep ur enemies closer.
Better go with gixxer than fz because gixxer has a saree guard and a simple modification will help it for a foot recess in the saree guard. Fz on the otherhand doest have a saree guard and I don't see a place to modify and attach it to the bike( it does have a huge tyre hugger which acts as a saree guard ) but no place to keep the foot and you can't even modify a foot recess and attach it in fz cause no place to attach it. Only way is to weld it into the rear foot rest . see ur self

Gixxer hasn't yet proved to be a long runner yet unlike the fz . Fz is the original street fighter naked bike which is a product of Yamaha . Gixxer provides goodies to attract the youngsters towards it. Suzuki has been successful in the scooter market and also will also show the same successful nature with Gixxer. Personal opinion :take the new FZ its from the heart 😉
Bro if I'm not wrong, the fz v2 is a fully new bike, because a> crank angle changed for less friction, b> new chassis is 3kg lighter, so a new engine and chassis makes it a new bike, so its as new as a gixxer and both have to prove that they are good . Do enlighten me if I'm wrong

Also, do anybody know the on-road price of Gixxer and FZ-S FI in Chennai?
Hi Vinodh, Not sure if I have read it correctly, But what will be your budget likely. FZ v2 will cost you close to 92+k OTR. This is from the Sri Motors showroom near Kasi Theatre. Gixxer OTR will cost you around 82+k . This is from SMK Suzuki in Porur buddy,
IMO, FZ V2 is a better buy, since Gixxer is a newbie on the block, not sure on the A.S.S of gixxer (anyone who owns a gixxer can throw some light). Yamaha is known in FZ for its reliability and performance. But mileage is definitely a hit compared to Gixxer. FZ will return you anywhere between 40-42 kmpl (ridden under 70 occasional blast is fine). Pillion comfy is ok.
Gixxer should return you 48+ kmpl (afaik heard from my friends).

Pillion comfort is equal in both bikes. I explained performance figures to him because he clearly mentioned that his shine use to struggle after 70. That is why I was feeling like he is interested in performance and cruising speed also...

A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith and use up a lot of fuel....

Dream yuga is under powered when compared to his shine bro. He wants a 150cc mill
Thanks TheArcher, your comment was really useful. Do you know the OTR of 200 NS? How is the pillion comfort and reliability and maintenance cost of 200NS.
200ns would have otr between ₹ .95-1.10 In lakhs 😊 awesome bike performance and style comfort but tyres not that good and seat height is a bit tall and Not comfortable for short riders
FZS FI will return at minimum 40kmpl in the city and 45 kmpl on the highway (personal experience). Some users are even reporting nearer to 50kmpl on highway. And I can personally vouch for FZS comfort over NS. NS is a nightmare for long distance pillion riders.
I have a Question Why the FZS FI with Blue Core technology offers 40-45 kmpl where as old apache & pulsar offers a much better mileage ,even Gixxer without a FI gives 45-50 kmpl.
