Yamaha FZ 16.....




LORD of the STREETS is here...

*Update: The reviews I am getting from my online friends (owners of this beast machine) about this bike are truly amazing, guys on other big bikes like pulsars, CBZ xtreme, and even Karizma are turning their heads to  have a look of this bike. People who know least about bikes are also amazed by the looks of the bike.
The rear Tyre and silencer are very attractive, and makes the bike more muscular and a true macho machine. The tyres and overall shape of the bike adds to better control of the bike.
Yamaha is easily going to rule the roads for next few months !


And even the visitors on this web page as compared to other pages of this website are almost 10 times in the last 15 days, which shows a heavy demand and a huge popularity of the bike among the people.

As it was already planned, that it's a do or die situation for Yamaha, with heavy losses in Indian bikes market, with very few bikes launched here, so this year Yamaha has brought some real quality products to India from its collection.


After the 
Yamaha R15, here comes a very stylish product from Yamaha-India. The bike may be proven a strong competition for Hero-Honda Hunk, and also to other Indian bikes of this segment like Bajaj Pulsar. Although the pricing is pretty high at Rs.70K +, but as compared to the looks, features and specs of the bike, it may be proven a threat to many other Indian bikes. Moreover being a 150cc bike, a 40-50 mileage can be expected from it, which is also very advantageous for the bike and will definitely add to the sales of the bike.
