LORD of the STREETS is here...
*Update: The reviews I am getting from my online friends (owners of this beast machine) about this bike are truly amazing, guys on other big bikes like pulsars, CBZ xtreme, and even Karizma are turning their heads to have a look of this bike. People who know least about bikes are also amazed by the looks of the bike.
The rear Tyre and silencer are very attractive, and makes the bike more muscular and a true macho machine. The tyres and overall shape of the bike adds to better control of the bike.
Yamaha is easily going to rule the roads for next few months !
And even the visitors on this web page as compared to other pages of this website are almost 10 times in the last 15 days, which shows a heavy demand and a huge popularity of the bike among the people.
As it was already planned, that it's a do or die situation for Yamaha, with heavy losses in Indian bikes market, with very few bikes launched here, so this year Yamaha has brought some real quality products to India from its collection.
After the Yamaha R15, here comes a very stylish product from Yamaha-India. The bike may be proven a strong competition for Hero-Honda Hunk, and also to other Indian bikes of this segment like Bajaj Pulsar. Although the pricing is pretty high at Rs.70K +, but as compared to the looks, features and specs of the bike, it may be proven a threat to many other Indian bikes. Moreover being a 150cc bike, a 40-50 mileage can be expected from it, which is also very advantageous for the bike and will definitely add to the sales of the bike.
The specifications are as follows:
The bike has been priced at Rs.65,000 (ex-showroom), and around 71,500(INR) on-road price.

not much into bikes but very informative ;)
Price of yamaha FZ 16 flat
i feel the bike is little costly for the features it has.....
Well a person who wants looks, power, style with some mileage (fuel efficiency), he can definitely go for this !
what about the milleage of this bike in city's
NO DOUBT IN LOOKS YAMAHA FZ-16 IS GONNA RUUULLE...THE PLANET,,,FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS,,,BUT I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE ON ROAD...!
i got a karizma and am thinking of switching to this bike .. is that a good decision??
ULTIMATE ROCKON BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Aryan
You can expect a 40+ mileage, atleast after all the free services.....But in most of the reviews, that I have read up till now, I think people are already getting 40+ mileage.
gonna to rule d world
i own one and driving it for two days, done just 50kms. Its really nice bike. One problem though with the gears. I found same problem with other yamaha model enticer. The problem is gear is stuck sometimes. And second is the carier bar, its not like the current trand, its totally new thing.
everything else is fine.
I have got my FZ16 1 week back, and engine is getting damn heat, i can feel the heat while riding the bike... can any one please suggest, i had been to service center but there was no response from them, they said its normal... but it really getting heat... please help me...
@ Anonymous
Yes problem, while shifting gears (4th and 5th), is reported by many other users too. But that doesn't mean that the problem is common to ignore it. So at ur first service, do tell those guys about this problem.
@ iam
Heating up of engine is ofcourse normal...do not touch it immediately after ur ride.
In this bike yamaha has compramised power(14 bhp) for torque(14NM). i went for test drive. this bike beats all XTREME,hunk and pulsar initially. but after 80kph hunk and CBZX have better acceleration. but the bike looks simply awesome.
it would have been better if it was about 5k to 7k less priced...........................
in chennai is 73500 flat..
i got my new fz 16....its realli gud bike..and every easy 2 do stunts like wheelee n stpoiee in it...grip is realli gud
Evn i gt Fz16 hav done 700kms, its an awesum bike n I must say that the handling is better than any of the indian bikes. Acceleration and power is at par wid the others. Can any one tell me that when you use the front disc brake does it giv yoou some kind of a rustling noise. I am getting one on my bike. Though its very low, i jus wantd to chk if everything is ok
dude i got my bike 2day its lava RED its rocking man i reach topend 124 yar ...any one reach moren than this plz replay for this.. FZ SAM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
is there any1 using fz16 for more than 2 mnths and happy to own it? please comment on its performance u r getting now.
I'm getting the same rustling sound when using the front disk brakes. But brakes are working fine so i think theres no need to worry. Have to mention it in my first service though.
i m using Fz 16 from the past one month amazing bike .....less in power but a better handling looks stylish.... and a dood average of 42 kmpl in city and highway
me 2 getting that disc brake sound the dealer told is normal
Hey, i also faced the same issue of rustling coming from the front disc. Its not normal and I had it fixed by a Yamaha engineer. It seems that they had wrongly assembled the disc. I suggest that u fix the issue before it gets worse.
Thanks Raj...for informing others about the issue !
Hi! I had purchased a brand new FZ-16, on the onset of the New year. I am very happy with the performance of the bike. I am happy that the company would soon be launching its Accessories and apparels. I saw a very slick jacket, in the catalogue, and the dealer has already ordered the same for me. I shall be getting the same by next week. I was really excited about it. But yesterday, in my college library, i was just browsing through magazines, and came accross this ad by yamaha in some magazine. There, they mentioned that we should wear Joe Rocket Jacket and Gloves worth 11000 and 4000, where as my jacket was only for 6500, now am very confused. Yamaha is promoting Joe Rocket apparels or company apparels???
They wud be getting higher commission from joe rocket dude, and most probably if it costs more, then it wud better too, but finally it depends completely on the budget of the buyer, so if you think 15K buck is not a big deal for you then go for it, otherwise I think you must be getting a cool jacket even in 6.5K !
My F Z 16 IS GIVING 25 KM PL ITS DONE 1500 kMS ... ANY SUGGESTIONS
The rustling sound is coming from the front disc but the showroom guy said that its perfectly ok .. any suggestions on this as well .
Dude 25 k/l is too less, you must complain about it at the service center !
Hay... are you sure it is giving 25 kmpl?, i am plannig to buy this .. can you let me know about the milage after 1500 kms.
Dude don't worry, there must bbe some problemwith that particular bike, you can read the reviews of fz16 in detail here
Thanks a lot guys , am sure there must be some problem , i just wanted to know if there is anybody who is having da same problem
knreddy , dont worry bout da mileage part
over all its a great bike
Am sure the mileage will increase after da second service
Thanks Guys, another doubt... is it not a problem if we don't have a kick rod?, there are chances to fail electric start.. right?
hey i am planning on buying fz 16 is it good for a drive like 1hrs ????
Yes for 1 hr drive, it is perfect !
this bike is realy awsme.......with blend of style comfort........it is macho....and surely a menz choice.....
