Yamaha is a brand is known worldwide for its high bikes and has a wide range of high performance bikes, but in it really is a different story. In Yamaha has only a few performance on-sale and they have sure that they are the The motorcycles in question are the YZF-R15, the FZ-S and Fazer.

Of the four, the FZ-16 and FZ-S share the chassis, same engine, instrumentation etc. only way differ is that the Fazer with a tank fairing and a visor, making it look a touring motorcycle, the FZ-16 only the plain colors, and the comes with attractive and paint and graphics schemes.

These motorcycles have on-sale in Indian for the past 6 and during these 6 years, got a refresh, and many new colors and special editions too were but they never got any sort of update and in today’s age, the at which technology changes is so that to stay in the game, a has to keep updating their every now and then, but Yamaha that their products good enough to keep and even had evidence in the form of numbers to support them and they stayed away updating the FZ series, but now, is facing the heat from arch-rival, Honda, in the form of the CB trigger and has finally taken the to update their FZ series.

The FZ has never really been a bad to begin with, it looked good, had a nice smooth which can very well be one of the smoothest 150cc engines out and even though it had really super-bike size tires, it beautifully. The chassis was so good, all the people who rode it, felt it was underpowered and that it could well handle more

It wasn’t long, before parts came out for the FZ and many upsized the displacement on the engine to more power, and it felt after the increase in power. exposed a disadvantage in the FZ. It was powered by an air 153cc, single cylinder with a maximum output of 14 PS and NM.

The current FZ is not a bad looking bike but Yamaha will not take any with the new one, and will the headlamp cluster and tail-lamps Even the boring fully-digital cluster will get a refresh.

Another weak point in the of the FZ was the price, it was not made for the price Indian customer and as a solution to Yamaha might launch variants of the FZ with varying levels in order to cut-down on the Yamaha does not launch new very often, but whenever do, it is bound to be a super-hit with the everybody loves Motorcycles Yamaha.
