Yamaha FZ16 bike comments, customer feedback and kudos

Friday, February 20, 2009, 7:56, written by Auto Sr. Reporter

This is something I have been postponing for a long time, and apologies to all those who posted comments on DWS Auto India about the Yamaha FZ16. I just could not publish all the comments. The reason is that the yamaha FZ16 stories on this site already have 100-plus comments, and publishing more comments from users about the bike was making the page incredibly long, and it would take too long to load. That would be bad for anyone on a slow connection.

On the other hand, even 2-3 months after the launch of the Yamaha FZ16, comments have been flowing in. No wonder, we see riders on FZ16s wherever we turn!

So what we have done here is this: Instead of publishing the comments on the actual story pages, we have published them all, in one shot, on this page.

The Yamaha FZ16 just missed being crowned the Indian motorcycle of the year 2009 – it lost the battle to its sibling, the YZF-R15. But considering the price of that motorcycle and the performance, I am of the opinion that the FZ-16 deserved the crown.

And our readers seem to agree. Here, we have published the comments, criticisms, enquiries, feedback and reviews by a pile of readers whose comments we could not publish on the original Yamaha FZ16 stories. Never mind.

It is crazy reading, so read on only if you can handle SMS lingo, Indian English and zero grammar. But no complaints, our readers make this site, and we love them anyway – bad spelling or not!

Santosh
Hi,

This is Santosh I am the owner of the New Yamaha FZ 16 bike. Recently the extra fittings for the bike has released.
I inform to all those guys who have Yamaha FZ 16 bike not to fix the foot rest and safety rod because of fixing up the foot rest the Mud-Guard of the bike is getting damage and the company is not going to replace for this. By fixing up the safety rod the fornt two panels are getting damage. So be sure all of u guys before fixing the extra fittings to u r bikes.

vishal jain
there is no doubt that the bike is too good…it is the real attention grabber….
but i am sad to say that the management of yamaha india sucks…i visited three times to yamaha showroom which is located in malad ..the very first showroom of yamaha india pvt ltd in India, but they had not responded properly..Also they did not deliver the bike at the promised date.I think Yamaha should think abt the management…bcoz without the good management and customer satisfaction the company despite of its good brandname cannot grow in country like india.

Ujwal s.k.p
I hav booked dis macho bike. Its a black one.
But i also like red one. its heared dat i can buy red spare parts of fz. From where?

who can avoid yamaha… i just love the bike with this tag yamaha

ram
its superb look and silent movement is surprising,but the tank is really smaller than pulsar
i enjoy riding it.
it should but have a crash guard
a back rest is preferable
its getting a mileage of 50 if u r driving the bike carefully between 40-50

Imtiyaz khan
The company should launch one more variant FZ16 offering more power (18-20bhp) because the mielage of existing model is quite satisfactory but 14 bhp is quite dissapointing for riders who need more power. BY doing so company can cater the needs of both categories
(one
who are searching for good mielage and those who need more power) & the company can give stiff competion to it rivals Bajaj & TVS.

Imtiyaz khan
guys…… the bike is dam good but it would have been miuch bettter with a much more powerful engine ( 18-20 BHP ).

Sushil Sethi
I am love it and I am going to purchase it soon……….any how.

HARSHVARDHAN
SUPERB BIKE IN 150 SEGMENT………

Anshuman
hey guys every thing is fine with the bike…but tell me does it have balance and comfort like pulsar or pick up and smoothness like karizma…as well as it not is economically friendly….so i’m dropping the idea of bying it…karizma or pulsar is far more better than this

PULSAR IS A STUNTING BIKE DON”T FORGET IT>>>>>>>

umesh
ths bikes is very very gooood and milege also fine about near 50 km/ltr and ruf n tuff bike on indian road but color are few we need blue

    The bike fz16 is just ok, it could have been the best bike if it had a better engine and disc at the rear end. Just by doing these two miner changes yamaha can attract a lot more customers!God knows when will they learn? It’s not a proper bike yet, just a jugarru bike with under powered engine and lots of plastic parts to fool the customers.

    but i heard that its milage is low, nearly equivalent to pulsar 200 i.e about 30-35kpl and the bike it self is weak, nearly every part will break off once the bike falls or slides
    is this true ?
