The “Lord of the Streets” has arrived on Indian roads. Yamaha Motors India has launched its latest offering - the Yamaha FZ16 in India. The Yamaha FZ16 was launched in Goa and is primarily targeted at the Young middle class of India. Yamaha FZ16 is powered by a 153cc and at 7,500 rpm delivers 14PS of power. Indians get their Yamaha FZ16 in three colors - Lava Red, Midnight Black and Flaming Orange. The Yamaha FZ16 is priced at Rs. 65,000 (ex-showroom).
The Yamaha FZ16 bike features a 4-stroke, single-cylinder high torque 153cc engine for active and aggressive riding on Indian roads. According to the Yamaha Motors India website, the Yamaha FZ16
The engine is born out of the quest for the ultimate in intake efficiency, combustion efficiency and minimum horsepower loss and its breathtaking pickup. The single-axis balancer reduces vibration for more comfortable riding. A negative pressure type Φ26mm carburetor with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) contributes to outstanding engine response on the FZ16. The placement of this model’s ‘MidShip Muffler’ is toward the center of the machine to achieve good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. While 5-speed transmission provides a smooth operational touch, the gear ratios are set to provide optimum performance and agility in city riding.
A Monocross suspension ensures agile running performance and handling. At the same time it inhibits machine bottoming while riding with a tandem passenger and provides a very comfortable ride. The front suspension is 41 mm thick, besides good absorption of shocks from the road, this suspension also provides good damping characteristics during acceleration and braking.
FZ 16 also has India’s first “140/60-17” size rear radial with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to better grip and handling stability. To achieve sufficient cooling effect, the cylinder head on the FZ16 engine is designed with especially large fins as well as a shroud (air intake cowl) to effectively direct airflow to the engine.
