Yamaha FZ16


Yamaha launches new FZ16

Yamaha India launched yet another stunning motorcycle in the 150cc segment last weekend in Goa. The new bike is called FZ16

and it is aimed to target the youth with its aggressive styling and street-fighter looks. The bike is powered by a 153.0cc

power plant and packs in 14PS of power available at 7,500rpm and 13.6Nm of torque developed at 6,000rpm.

The cycle parts too are top-notch like the 41mm front forks and a Monocross rear suspension. The instrumentation upfront is

all-digital with even the tachometer displaying the revs in a digital format.

Yamaha has done a great job in terms of paying attention to details on the FZ16 and this bike is definitely the hottest

looking motorcycle of its class!

Speaking to the media during the launch, CEO and Managing Director, Mr. Tsutomu Mabuchi said, "With the launch of FZ 16,

Yamaha is poised to provide Indian bike enthusiasts with both a rough and brutish expression as well as a certain subtlety.

The FZ16 will be a more potent bike in Yamaha's product placement than the race-focused YZFR15 as it will offer the 'average

joe' the perfect balance of looks, performance and value-formoney. Yamaha has hit the right notes with FZ's pricing and the

company astonished not only its rivals but also the entire Indian motorcycle community when it announced an exshowroom price

of Rs 65,000 for the FZ16.
