Yamaha FZ16 Midnight Limited Edition
It was year 2009, I was in Hyderabad for training, when I saw FZ for the first time. The time i saw it, I got curious to know about it. After some research, I gathered all the information about it. The brand name Yamaha, Its rear thick tyre and its Leopard look made me crazy for it. But that time I could gather information only :) . Days, months and year passed but my craze for this bike never ended. I got job. But I had some other priorities, so could not think of spending 85,000 rupees for bike. Few months back one evening in office some brain attack :) came and I thought I will buy a bike. I discussed my parents, gave all the logic to convince them for a bike. I spent almost half an hour on phone for it. Finally they were ready. But the Question was, Which bike?
I said, 'I have three options Pulsar, Apache or FZ'. But I like FZ.
Then my father told to gather all the information about that bike and advised me to purchase on Dhanteras ; a Holy Day which comes one day before Diwali. My father wanted me to buy Hero Honda Bike (Which is Hero now) or Discover.
I told every one is having Discover so i will not purchase it :). Finally my search started. I liked the FZ look, but i could not invest approx 85K just for looks.
Then I started enquiring with people having these bikes.
TVS Apache : I asked one of my colleague who is having Apache 160. He told me that its good but requires more maintenance. Its engine has some problem as it gets older. And personally i dont have much faith in TVS.
Next Bajaj Pulsar: Well first thing about pulsar is that every 3rd bike is Pulsar, So you will never feel that you have taken new bike. It is a good bike, its successful but it has gone old now.
And then Yamaha FZ: Well this is a new bike, with Yamaha power, having leopard looks. Its a clone of Yamaha FZ1. It's really Lord of Streets.
Good power, fast pick-up, awesome balance and fantastic control of FZ makes it better than any bike of its range. Its thick rear tyre adds more control and balance while riding. Its more comfortable then any other bike.
Well in FZ we have 2 models, one is FZ16 and other is FZS. Among these which one?
If we talk about old fz16, the only demerit was that it was not having kick start. But now in all models we have this. FZS come in dual color. Having some graphics. FZ16 comes in single color. For those graphics it costs around INR 2000 extra. Luckily for Dewali Yamaha lunched Midnight Limited Edition in Golden-Black Color in both the models. I liked the color. And for that edition in FZ and FZS there is no any difference other than the tank sticker which contains one extra S for FZS. So I finally decided to go with it. I paid 85,000 which included 3 years extended warranty, Buzzer, grip cover, Seat Cover, Leg Guard, engine guard, bike cover and Teflon Coating. And then I took my bike out of Showroom. Its start sound made me feel happy. Its smooth acceleration was awesome.
I read full user manual and following all the instruction to knock the engine.
Its really a good experience with Yamaha FZ. I will recommend to go for it if you really want somthing new and best. Its mileage is 35KM/L in city. I have gone to a max speed of 115KM/Hour.Being a small bike in length we can easily move in traffic. I bought my FZ in October 2011. Its 10 months now, I am really loving it.
