Expert Reviews

Hunks on your city road
The Yamaha FZ16 is a mid segment street bike from Yamaha that gives its riders the feel of riding a high end, muscular sports bike. A fine blend of looks, technology and comfort make this bike different from others. This is also the bike that has won many of the prestigious popular awards for bikes of this category.

Looks and Design
The looks are indeed robust and macho and give the mid segments bike a fresh new take. The tyres are wide, tank is huge (and shaped uniquely) and the forks are beefy. The bike is designed for ultimate rider comfort and a balanced design provides stability.

Key Features
It is powered by a good displacement, air cooled, 4 stroke, SOHC engine with an envious power and torque. It is a bike designed for the urban rider and its design as well as technological features makes it give a feather smooth ride in city traffic. This revolutionary machine by Yamaha is also great on pick up and reaches the top speed in no time.

Other Features
The steel bodied large fuel tank is covered in plastic to maintain a polished outside appearance. The suspension is perfect and provides excellent shock absorption giving great rider and pillion comfort. The wide tubeless tyres are also balanced perfectly with each other and the rear one is actually the widest in all the bike of this segment.

Cons
The only missing element in this muscular bike is the crash guards. But still negligible for those who love such an eye catching and sporty look bike.

Final Verdict
With the new FZ16 Yamaha is all set to take over the Indian street bike market. If you are used to seeing mostly Pulsars and Hunks on your city roads get ready for a revolution. The FZ16 is very well prepared in every aspect and will soon be seen every where. It is big on power, technology and has some real mean yet powerful looks. Who in his right senses would say no to such a bike? If you ask me for flaws, there is really one thing that proves th saying 'nothing is perfect'- no rear disk brakes. Else, it's a perfect bike!
