== Overview ==

Yamaha FZ 16























The launch of this aerodynamic-looking, sporty, yet rusty mobike is going to
please one and all bike lovers like you and me! While I say sporty, believe me I
also meant that Yamaha FZ 16 is also designed by Bike manufacturing Giant Yamaha
Motors keeping in mind the rugged and crater-filled Indian roads. The motorbike
is believed to shake the entire two-wheeler segment market of the Indian
automobile industry. With its launch Yamaha as a company will in no time get
synonymous with the youth of the country and will mark the beginning of a new
era. The premium bike maker is all set to roll the dice in its favor posing
tough competition to Apache, Pulsars and Hunks.

Yamaha FZ-16 mobike is set to take the generation next by storm with several
unique features, while the basic design is adopted from earlier series of FZ,
though. With its diamond-shaped frame, this mobike is different with its
killer-like looks and originality. It can really snatch away second glance from
every person on the road.

The craftsmanship and engineering feat of Yamaha is revealed as you take a close
look at the minute details of the vehicle, if I have to say its crafted to
perfection.

If you are the one who would first give vote for style, look and color, well let
me tell you that FZ16 is rightly branded as the Lord of the Street. The
motorcycle reflects power, strength and dynamism from any angle of view.


This Lord of Street is available in bold colors of flaming orange, midnight
black and lava red. The kerb weight of the vehicle is 126kg, with a length of
1975 mm, height of 1045 mm and a width of 770 mm.

The engine of Yamaha FZ-16 is a bi-valved 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 didnt mean you need to kick
start this). Yamaha FZ-16 breathes through a BS26 carburetor and is neither fuel
injected nor oil cooled; but working under negative pressure.

Fuel tank: The 12-liter fuel tank is built of stainless steel but has an outside
plastic cover to give that molded look and reflect the perfect dynamic and
muscular image of the vehicle. The tank has integrated shrouds and an
eye-catching exhaust.

Brakes: Who likes those ol brakes? Well my vote is for disc brakes and there is
a large disc brake on the front side of the vehicle that helps with great
braking power and high-end balance to ride it. If you ask me if any downside, I
would say that there is no rear-end disc brake in the Yamaha FZ-16.

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 tire 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 tire with specifications as 140/60-R17, while that of the front tire is
100/60-17. Which means the balance is perfect!
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: Its 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. Its gotten a spacious seat, so you dont have
to worry off your over-sized butts!
