A little background about me, till 2013 (i was 24 then) i preferred cars, loathed motorcycles and had never ridden one. However, once all my friends had purchased their motorcycles and had their dedicated pillions (yes, that's what i mean), i was left behind to use the public transport. So i woke up to reality and decided to get myself a bike ( not a car, coz i was a fresher and horrible city traffic). So started the hunt.

All "gyaan" from the wanna-be gurus/babas cleared 1 things : as a beginner and for my proportions, i should go with a 150cc. Point taken. Next "gyaan" was all about mileage, cheap maintenance, availability etc and all started promoting their brands and models. Ears hurt with sounds like bajaj pulsar 150/180 , honda shine, tvs apache rtr 160. I was confused.

Returning from office once, i noticed a bike with a never-seen-before wide rear tyre, a hulking presence, a chiseled tank, a very different genre-look to it. I couldn't see the name but the image got stuck in my mind. Yes, it was unlike any other and more importantly, i fell for it. It was love at first sight, a bond forever....It had to be my first bike. Many would have been through the same. I got introduced to the yamaha fz 16.

Excited, i dint ask any feedback/reviews, just collected the cash, made the payment and was called to collect the bike. Its then i realized that i had forgotten a crucial aspect ; i dint know how to ride. The bike was in my hands. I had to take it home 6kms away. Understanding the lack of options, i sat on the bike to take it home whilst i learn to drive.

First thing i noticed, the welcoming position, the rider triangle, the comfort; all seemed perfect. I did not need to get adjusted to it. It felt made according to me or for me. I started the engine, a lovely idling tone from the exhaust made me happier, no vibration from anywhere confused me. Time to head home.

Slot into first (it was smooth) and it starts nicely, slot into second, third and so. Every passing moment increases the understanding of how-to-ride, the confidence on the machine, and the bond.It was that easy. I made it to home (very slowly though) without any stalling, stopping or jerks. Since then it has been with me. Suming up the experience from past 4 years, i would love to have it forever and over any other bike, its that good.

Till date i have 52000kms of riding experience, 25000kms being with my fz. This diverse experience keeps me attached to the fz. Even today, it may not be the most-powerful 150, but it is the most reliable and ready-to-go even if you take it out after a month.

Listing out the cons first (w.R.T my ownership) its original rear tyre (revz) is a little too puncture-prone and the headlight is dull/insufficient. That's it. Change the tyre and install a higher power bulb. Issue solved.

For the pros; first, i get 45/47-50kmpl in city/highway, solo top-speeds is a speedo 122kmph, solo-long-duration cruising speed is 100-105kmph, longest ride was of 1500kms with no issues, can do fair bit of cornering, silent city/highway operation, vibe free, grippy tires and really low maintenance. The bike never heated, never lost composure, never shows any degrade.

The home/self maintenance involves weekly water wash and polish, chain clean at every 300kms using vim liquid and lubing with chain spray, oil and oil filter change at every 3000kms, air-filter change when deemed necessary, regular spark-plug clean.

After the 2 years - 6 free services period, service center visits are at 8-10 months duration for basic chain tension adjustment, tappet adjustment, brake pad clean/replacement etc as per the manual. Only 1 chain sprocket change has been made. And if needed, all parts are priced cheap enough.

All-in-all, the bike build quality is the best. Easy to ride, hassle free to maintain, nothing goes wrong, ready for action any time you need. Just inspires you to enjoy the ride and be worry-free.

Maybe it was the same way that this little 150cc won hearts and introduced people to the concept of street-fighters / performance motorcycles / easy-to-own good looking machine and does it even today.

Tips for Yamaha FZ16

Change headlight bulb or use auxiliary lamps change tires to newer mrfs or michelins regularly service chain engine oil air-filter brakes and drive maturely

    I bought this bike in 2011 and still to date I never faced any major trouble with repairs. As the bike is short, this is good on city roads as well as highway touring. Look its the best in the market, The Service price is reasonable and Yamaha bikes are well known for their durability. Overall it's a good one in the segment.

    Mohammed Aadil

    When I bought this bike I was very happy with the performance of this bike in that budget. My ride experience was great, I have covered more than 40000 kms on this vehicle. Look attracted everyone. The cost of service and maintenance depends on the rider who rides the bike properly. But the company should add some additional features in the digital console like gear shift indicator, time etc...

  • Riding with cuckoo...

    1 year ago


    Srikanth

    Amazing performance, the wandering voice of the engine like a cuckoo.... Very nice riding, and comfort with pillion riders. Fantastic mileage. No backache with comfortable seating. Enjoying..... With smile..... Something every motorcyclist can relate to. The reason we feel so happy is pretty simple; every twist of the wrist releases adrenaline which, in turn, releases endorphins. These 'feel good' hormones improve our mood, increase pleasure and minimize pain.

  • Fz-16 s detailed review

    1 year ago


    Doraj

    It's a great bike if you are considering something below 160cc. The performance is awesome along with comfortable. The headlamp is something that I think needs to be modified but it's okay(not a problem). Maintenance and servicing cost is low but the parts are expensive for eg the rear brake which comes with nissin break, which is, of course, no doubt one of the best brakes to be fitted. The mileage is extremely good that is 45-50kmpl. Pros- very smooth refined engine, mileage is great, seat and handlebar is a very comfortable position, good for long rides. Cons-front suspension is weak and tends to break(happened to me within 1 year).

    "Better than the best "
    Best superbike in 150cc range globally,

    Pick up around 0-60km/h within 3.60 Seconds, fuel economy 42-45km/lt, smooth cruising, after 1,50,000km of rough driving. What's more, you could expect? the best companion, "the complete bike".

    I bought this bike in 2011 and still to date I never faced any major trouble with repairs. As the bike is short, this is good on city roads as well as highway touring. Look its the best in the market, The Service price is reasonable and Yamaha bikes are well known for their durability. Overall it's a good one in the segment.

    When I bought this bike I was very happy with the performance of this bike in that budget. My ride experience was great, I have covered more than 40000 kms on this vehicle. Look attracted everyone. The cost of service and maintenance depends on the rider who rides the bike properly. But the company should add some additional features in the digital console like gear shift indicator, time etc...

    Srikanth

    Amazing performance, the wandering voice of the engine like a cuckoo.... Very nice riding, and comfort with pillion riders. Fantastic mileage. No backache with comfortable seating. Enjoying..... With smile..... Something every motorcyclist can relate to. The reason we feel so happy is pretty simple; every twist of the wrist releases adrenaline which, in turn, releases endorphins. These 'feel good' hormones improve our mood, increase pleasure and minimize pain.

    Yamaha fz 16 I have been using last 7 years.. It's a fantastic bike.. I have never changed my bike's spark plug still now... And very low maintenance as well.. Mileage also gives 40 to 45 kms... Comfortable riding experience... Looking style is also good.. A long drive also above 500 kms is possible on this bike...

    1 year ago


    Doraj

    It's a great bike if you are considering something below 160cc. The performance is awesome along with comfortable. The headlamp is something that I think needs to be modified but it's okay(not a problem). Maintenance and servicing cost is low but the parts are expensive for eg the rear brake which comes with nissin break, which is, of course, no doubt one of the best brakes to be fitted. The mileage is extremely good that is 45-50kmpl. Pros- very smooth refined engine, mileage is great, seat and handlebar is a very comfortable position, good for long rides. Cons-front suspension is weak and tends to break(happened to me within 1 year).

    P R Santosh

    I have been used in many cities and the bike performance is consistent. Regular service keeps the vehicle in good condition. Since there is no kickstart available make sure to keep the battery charged by using the bike regularly. Also, make sure to clean the air filter as it might choked if not maintained well.
