Yamaha FZ16 Launched - Detailed Specs And Pictures

India Yamaha Motor's second offering in the 150cc category is the FZ16. The company has launched the bike today in Goa. The bike is loaded with features like the full digital display, monoshock rear suspension, tubeless tires front and rear. The bike features one of the widest rear tire of any motorcycles in the market today. The design of the bike has been derived from the FZ1000 sold in the international markets.


The bike sports a carburetted 153cc engine making 14PS of power. Gearbox is a regulation five speed unit with a one down four up shift pattern. The foot pegs are rear set and with a short handlebar should provide a sporty riding position. The instrumentation is an all LCD affair, but looks a bit garish with the mix of different colours thrown in. The suspension at the rear is a monoshock while the front gets a thick pair of telescopic forks.


No kick starting this bike with the electric start being the only means to get the engine up and running. Retardation duties are performed by disk brake up front and a drum rear. The bike has been priced at Rs. 65000 (ex-showroom) and is right in the ball park as far as the competition goes.


Expect a fuel efficiency in the region of 45 kmpl. Being a Yamaha it most definitely will be a good handling package and for once Yamaha have given the bike a fat pair of tires. Competition better watch out.
