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.....

http://rz15.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/fzs-live-and-feel-like-a-king/
wel i have been using tis bike for now more than 3 month and iam really satisfied...... wel tis has got very good pick up and after the first service iam getting abt 40km/ltr mileage which is satisfactory....
hey guys,
try this,
start ur fz16 and run the engine in its full rpm till its limit (on Nutral). And see there is a lots of black smoke over there. Thats the problem dude.
hey Im plannin 2 buy dis buy in a few days, can u suggest me is it a rite choice??? coz after reading the comments Im lil bit confused, about the rusting sound, heating of the engine & its not having a kick start....can u suggest sumthing...
Well do not go for FZ16 now....either buy fz-s or even better Yamaha Fazer. And if you do not care for mileage then you may buy pulsar 220cc too.
Here's a comparison between Pulsar, Fazer and Apache.

M PLANNING TO BUY FZ16 IN A FEW DAYS.. BUT M CONFUSED NW........ DO I HAVE A BETTER OPTION THEN FZ16????????? IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE...... PLEASE HELP ME..........................
Ofcourse you have dude...
read the above comments !
M PLANNING TO BUY FZ16 IN A FEW DAYS.. BUT M CONFUSED NW........ DO I HAVE A BETTER OPTION THEN FZ16????????? IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE...... PLEASE HELP ME..........................
and i do care for the mileage...............
hi am gonna buy fz16 can anyone say is there is an option of installing kicker in that bike and how???????? wats the exact millage of that bike??? plz help me out in this>>>>>>>>>>
there is no kicker option for the bike, mileage of fz-16 and fz-s is around 25km to 38km mileage in city condition and 35km to 42km mileage under highways.
my fz-s is giving only 26 km mileage in city condition
if i drive it between 30 to 50 kmph speed.
I have already done more than 8000k in this bike,,, great pleasure in long drives ,came to blore frm chennai with this one, it can hit 110 km/hr max (with out any vibrations) but if ur travelling with partner it goes oddly 95km/hr. But mileage on the lower side max 35 for me,, And in blore i face starting woes with the battery
GOOD POINTS : NOT BEST BUT BESTEST IN 150 OR 180 CLASS, IF U DRIVE 45-55 KM/HR IT GIVES 45-50 MILEAGE. NOW PROBLEAMS: SMALL PIL SEAT, ODD NUMBER PLATE, LENGTH IS TO SHORT, SARRI GARD LOOKS ODD& NO KICK.
BEST FOR LONG DRIVES, STUNTING PRICE IS FINE FOR THIS MONSTOR BUT IF YAMAHA WANT 2 STAY IN MARKET FOR LONG REDUCE PRICE.
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.bajajs n tvs were doing justice to the ‘ value for money ‘ ??
Think abt the XCD .. they claim it to be the cheapest 125 cc bike …but wats the bhp put put of this 125 cc engine ..mere 9.5bhp ..even the splendour has 8.5 bhp ..( more than 14 year old tech or watever ) ..arent they tryin to fool the cusotmers with this higher cc tag , but nothin offered more than a 100 cc bike..??
The overhyped 220 cc pulsar ..so called oil cooled engine …churnin just 20 bhp and amazingly the max speed of 120km/hr .. ( 10 km/hr more than a Unicorn / p150)
pulsar is only one point up pulsar soots each age catagery
if u want a mantanance free, powrfull bike go for yamaha. yes yamaha...
Yeah Sachin, your points are correct...but presently if we compare within Yamaha I think one should better go for Fazer instead of FZ16 or FZS
WEll friends, i bought FZ 16 in feb 09. I really enjoyed riding the real beast. However for last 2 months or so, I am facing starting problems with the bike. The the problem is not only at Cold start, even at middle of road it gives starting trouble. Kindly help me in this regard.
From last 30 days i have to start it with running. My dealer didnt give me agressive solution for my bike. I told him to change my battery but coludn`t give me new battery.
fzs is a good bike
SPEECHLESS ABOUT THIS, I GOT 45KMPL FROM THIS ON HIGHWAY & CITY.
FZ MORE PICKUP THAN 180CC PULSAR.
THE AMAZING THING IS THAT IT GIVE 45KMPL AVERAGE WITH A WIDE TYRE (AWESOME BIKE EVER)..........
BY PINCHU SAINI (FEROZEPUR, PUNJAB)
I wntd 2buy fz..bt read problms lyk-
1. Disk brake rustling sound
2. Start problem,bad battery & no kick
3. Some say vry low mileage
4. Bad pick up aftr 80km/hr nd over heating
5. Bad service help in service centre
-so many complaints 4m most of users..
Plz say shud i buy dis byk or shud i go 4 unicorn..
Wats d difference btwen fz16 nd fz-s
No changes just a flap on meter.
All the complaints about this bike are wrong.they are geles of this bike.some donot hav this bike and then also complaining.it will not have any problems if u handle it with care.use it with love.then the mileage of it is 45 to 50/ltr.control the bike in 40 to 45km/h speed.clean the vehicle if there is any impurities.a cleaning kit for bikes is available in markets buy it.if any one wants to buy a bike go for this.then the cost is good on having all these facilities like digital parts tubeless tyr etc
^^ i ve seen people who r more passionate in riding n proud to have this bike ...but then one guy of such kind was forced to let his FZ16 off due to the problems he faced..he loved the bike but u cant get the pleasure of riding when u r pushed to service centre now and then for problems...like his speedometer gone mad after 5000 kms
clutch plate started to work bad in abt 10000kms
and problems in tyre in additional 5000 kms..
and the service also sucks like anything...and now he has got pulsar 220...
I was about to buy this unique creation but after hearing some furture problems faced with this bike...wat wud u think of!!!
My bad
By : striker
after reading so many reviews now i m confused either go with FZ of Bajaj Avenger 200cc. and which one is more comfort and charm for riding about 250 km and more then it.
is der any body who is going to help me?
so plz give me ur suggestion on mohitnaithani7@gmail.com
plzzz
i m waiting...
Hi Friends,
I'm planning to buy a new bike. Please suggest me which one is good out of the below
1. Yamaha Fazer
2. Yamaha FZs
3. Yamaha FZ16
4. CBZ Extream.
5. Apache RTR 160
Please advice me....
If you want to buy a yamaha product then go for Fazer.
Otherwise Xreme is also a good choice, go for test-drives and see it for yourself - take a bike which is confortable for you and for the person behind you too. Grip on road should be good.
Thanq sai, but in my recent study i hv heard tht yamaha (FZ-s,FZ16)are not giving minimum 40 milage.
I need a bike with atleast 40 milage.
If FZ-s is giving min 40 milage then i want to go with tht.
Please let me know ur valuable comments.
I HAVE BOUGHT MY FZ-16 A WEEK AGO AND I HAVE RUSTLING SOUND IN THE BIKE WHEN I APPLY FRONT DISC........SHOULD I COMPLAIN OR IS IT PRETTY NORMAL
DK
Better get everything checked when the bike is still in warranty.
Yes I have heard of this problem a few times earlier too, if you are there in Orkut, join the community of FZ-16 and check how others have fixed their problems.
thank u can u send a link to the orkut community.......plz ,,,i wud like to join the community
