Yamaha FZ 16 ---- Lord of the streets
The very hot news in automobile industry is Yamahas FX 16 bike in present day. Yamaha is trying to rock the Indian market with its Yamaha FZ-16 launch after few month of launch of its R-15 bike.
I don’t know when it’s going to be available in Indore but whenever it will be available here I am surely going to take a test drive for this and may be for purchase.
Yamaha FZ 16 is basically designed for Indian roads so along with sporty looks with its aerodynamic shape so it will be not only sporty but also good enough in rigidity to ride on Indian roads. Its look is really killer and I am in love with this bike and I can assure you, everyone is going to see it twice after first glance.
Yamaha named this Yamaha FZ 16 as “New Lord of the streets” and this bike do justice with this name. It’s not only stylish but also powerful with 153 CC, air-cooled, Single Overhead Camshaft Engine
The lord of streets Yamaha FZ 16 is available in flaming orange, Midnight black and Lava red colur.
The total weight of Yamha FZ -16 is 126KG, Its length is 1975MM and width 770MM.
Engine :-> The engine of Yamaha FZ-16 is a bi-valve 153 CC, air-cooled, Single Overhead Camshaft Engine (SOCE). It gives an envious output of 14 PS and the peak torque it can generate is about 13.6 Nm. The pickup speed of this toy is mindboggling and an electric starter will only be a kicker (I didn't mean you need to kick start this). Yamaha FZ-16 breathes through a BS26 carburettor and is neither fuel injected nor oil cooled; but working under negative pressure
Fuel Tank:->The fuel tank is 12 litres made up of stainless steel and outside tank body is covered with plastic to give a moulded and eye catching fantastic look.
Brakes :-> Needless to say there is a disk break for front wheel and regular break for rear brake.
Suspension: ->Suspension is the thing that impressed me like hell. The Mono-cross suspension at the rear, inner tubes in the front, hydraulic forks of diameter 41 mm provide excellent shock absorption typical of Yamaha craftsmanship and gives all the riding pleasure during those long drives for the rider and the pillion. Not to mention adding stability to the bike as well.
Tyres: Both, rear and front end tyres are tubeless with rear-end tyre having aspect ratio of 60 per cent. The advantage of tubeless tyres are, on being punctured it is less susceptible on getting flattened (I assume you know it also reduces the kerb weight of the bike as well). Yamaha FZ-16 has the fattest rear-end tyre with specifications as 140/60-R17, while that of the front tyre is 100/60-17. Which means the balance is perfect!
Headlight: The multi-reflector headlight with transparent lens on the front side provides with perfect illumination.
Dashboard: Yamaha FZ-16 sports fully digital speedometer and all other measuring indicators including the odometer, fuel gauge and the tachometer that have a characteristic of Liquid Crystal Display for clearer vision.
Performance: It's from the Yamaha portfolio, so you can expect a performance par excellence with respect to the start-up speed (the company says 0-60 this bike gives the best time. The running speed of Yamaha FZ-16 overtakes all with its unprecedented torque. What more? it comes priced at Rs. 65000 (ex-showroom). Additionally, the gear ratio provides with awesome agility and optimum performance on the Indian roads. It's gotten a spacious seat, so you don't have to worry off your over-sized butts!
