Fuel Consumption
Comfort & HandlingReliabilityStyle and LooksAfter sales ServiceYamaha is here with another of its great bike to rock the Indian market. The launch of the new Yamaha FZ 16 right after a few months of R15 is a sure Indication that Yamaha is very serious.
The Yamaha FZ 16 motorcycle boasts of a 153 cc air-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder high torque engine, single-axis balancer and mono-cross suspension. Other feaures that come with bike that sports street-fighter looks include 5-spoke die-cast alloy wheels, brakes of 267mm single cross-drilled ventilated rotor with 2-pot calipers and 130 mm drum and a fuel tank with a 13-litres capacity.
According to company top brass, FZ 16 has all in it to provide Indian bike enthusiasts with both a rough and brutish expression as well as a certain subtlety. Expected to be a bike that could be picked up by all bike enthusiasts who love the thrills of biking, the FZ 16 is being offered by the company in in three hues, Lava Red, Midnight Black and Flaming Orange.
The petrol tank, silensor, the yellow-gold plated rear shock absorber and fat tyres give enough clues to the true strength of the Yamaha FZ 16 motorcycle – torque that is a bit higher than the 160 Apache RTR and tuned for acceleration and mid-range than outright top speed. Unlike the YZF R15, the Yamaha FZ16 motorcycle is more a city bike, tuned for aggressive city riding than for pure top speed.

i have already run 3000 km the fz 16. i have been good at riding. milage is around 37 to 40 on the highways at the speed of 100 – 140, and the milage is around 45 to 48 at the speed of 50 – 60 on hyd city roads. when i have started the riding at first, i felt little bit arms pain, later i got relaxed, because of its vide handle bar. but on long rides the pillion rider get inconvenient to sit on small pilion rider seat. and got effected knee pain due to its shorth lenth livers. overall i feel this is RIDER’S BIKE.
