@ neo... Dude, I have a FZ16 since 5th dec, having 500KM in the odo. According to wat i have experienced, i can say these things :
1. Superb Styling and looks !!
2. Very Comfortable Riding posture and stance. I mean u have to Ride it once to get wat i am saying.
3. Really Good Handling in traffic. Thts the USP of this bike.
4. The rear seat does look like kinda small , but its not uncomfortable. I myself have ridden the bike as pillion and its doesnt seem to be of much concern.
5. Average i am getting is 38-40 in local streets and short trips (2-7 kms for single trip) which is good considering it will be better in longer trips (like more than 10 KM on main roads.)
6. Good Suspension.
7. Precise Brakes spcly the front one. My friend was riding the bike with me as a pillion on 25th and once at a fourway crossing, the bike was rammed into a maruti omni (on the side part, like a T POINT). we were around 40KMPH and the car guy jumped the red light, Still the Discs got the bike stopped just before hitting the car and though the bike did fell on the ground with both of us, there was no damage, except sum minor scratches on the Small Fin type plastic part under the tank, watsoever to any three of us (including the bike) ... I was really amazed coz at the point of impact, i thought that it was a gone case. May be i was a bit lucky but still ... i thanked the YAMAHA guys at the spot for making such a stable and strong bike.
There are some minor negative aspects too .. like
1.No Visor on headlight (though i like it better without one) means no space for notebooks or wiping cloth.
2. No footrest on Saree gaurd ( though i got it removed it same day i bought)
3. No leg gaurd.
So now its ur choice. But please, Do test ride it once. It deserves atleast that much effort.
