Yamaha FZ

The bike is good on road. Safe to drive. Service is slightly costlier and parts changes at a regular interval is a little costly. Pickup is good while upto 10,000 then it gets slower, so the service centre recommended changing clutch plates and it is much earlier than other bikes I have purchased and it causes a little more cost.

Good mileage and a very stylish bike. A hybrid gives additional points to the bike. Go for it, without waiting. Felt only thing Tank is bulky, can't keep any material above. You must have Good Experience to ride this Giant Tank bike. Need more color options, or a full black one, or give the option to change the color of the wheels.

Great Mileage & Comfort The Yamaha FZ S FI is a solid bike, especially when it comes to mileage. If you ride at an economical speed and use good fuel, you can easily get over 55 km/l, which is great for a 150cc bike. The ride quality is smooth, and the back seat is super comfortable—your pillion will thank you for that! Performance Could Be Better While the bike is great for city rides, I feel like the acceleration could have been better, especially in the mid-range. It takes a bit of time to pick up speed, which might not be ideal for those who love quick overtakes. Also, it’s an air-cooled engine, and I wish Yamaha had gone for a liquid-cooled system—it would have made a difference, especially on long rides. Braking & Durability Issues The front ABS works well, but I really would have preferred rear ABS too. It would have given better control, especially on slippery roads. Another issue is the side domes—they aren’t very durable and can break easily. If that happens, you’re looking at a ₹3,000 replacement cost, and because of Yamaha’s monolithic body design, even a small crack might mean replacing an entire section. Service & Maintenance On the bright side, most Yamaha service centers in Telangana do a good job. Parts, however, can be a bit tricky to find—you might need to go through third-party dealers for some of them. The stock tires have held up well for me—I’ve done around 29,000 km, and the front one might even last up to 35,000 km. Final Thoughts I bought the V3 model for ₹1.45 lakh on-road, and honestly, it’s worth the price. It’s stylish, fuel-efficient, and comfortable, but it does have some downsides, like acceleration, durability, and the lack of rear ABS. If those aren’t deal-breakers for you, it’s one of the best options in its segment.
