        Personally, I would advice you go for FZ .
        Not much of diff between FZ and FZ-S except color,visor and radium on the rim for which Yamaha is charging 2500-3000 extra.Doesnt worth the money according to me!!!

          Fazer - Price barrier?

          Depends upon you which bike you want to take!

          no change specific change in performance,only Colours Differ! nothing much and a Visor in front of it!

          Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

            We all know that performance-wise there is no difference between the 2 bikes..
            Choosing between the 2 is purely dependent on your personal like/dislike for them.. I (or others) may like the FZ-S over the FZ-16, but its you who'll be riding it..

            & since you really want an opinion, I would say go for the the FZ-S, will be a little more exclusive, considering you're fine with paying an extra 2k, just for the stickering job all around, & that tiny vizor..

            My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

            The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

              which ever appeals you the most
              go to the showroom, see both bikes together and which ever appeals you the most at that moment pick that one

                In my opinion the FZ s looks very stylish and that Visor really brings out the "Lord of the street" image in the bike. So if you dont mind the 2k extra go for the FZS.

                    Me too planning to buy the same next month...Gud brand Gud Looking bike and Under my budget...

                    The only reason i m buying FZ-S and nt FZ-16 is just because of the yellow color, the same is not available in FZ-16....

                    For me this is the best color available...

                    All the best

                      There are panels available for the FZ-16 for around 3-3.5k which will allow you to convert your bike to a full blue/full yellow fz-16 as well. I hope you know that as well.

                        i think the only difference between Fz and Fz-s is not the colour schemes and other stylish accessories (read visor)...

                        most of the people are ignoring the digital speedometer... yes, its there and its not cluttered like in Fz...

                        so you should go for Fz-s, for ur favorite color, better styling and all new speedometer...

                          Really !!! I don't see it being different except for the colour treatment on the panel ... is there anything different other than this ???

                            IMO go for the FZ-16, unless and until you are a very big sticker fan. If you can pay for the stickers and that small little avoidable visor, better go for the Fazer. it looks great..

                              yeah the FZ16 is what you could go for ... coz all the bikes ( read FZ16 , FZ-s and Fazer ) have the same specs ... the FZ16 is the cheapest one among all , the FZ-s is the same except for some cosmetic changes with a 2k increase in price and the Fazer is the FZ with a half fairing and about 8k more than the FZ16 ... here in Bangalore the Fazer is 83,300 OTR ... FZ about 75100 , lesser if your referred to ...
