DUBBED THE "LORD of the Streets", the Yamaha FZ has played a prominent role in shaping the 150-cc segment in India into what it is today.
When the FZ16 was D launched back in 2008, there was nothing quite like it. The fully digital display, beefy 140-section rear tyre, and the muscular stance it came with quickly attracted the younger generation and made it one of the best-selling 150-cc motorcycles in the country.
Fifteen years and three iterations later, the FZ has evolved to become one of the most reliable and fun-to-ride motorcycles available in the market, having received numerous updates along the way. We have now got our hands on the latest generation of the bike, the FZ-S FI v4.0 DLX.
The FZ-S v4.0 DLX gets an updated front fascia with a re-designed headlight that is now brighter thanks to a new reflector that improves the distribution of light, increasing visibility in the night. The bike also gets a new LED taillight and indicators and it comes in three stylish colours-Metallic Grey, Majesty Red, and Metallic Black-as well as coloured wheels that go along with the paint schemes. Ergonomically, the riding position is relaxed overall, adding to that is the comfortable and plush 790-millimetre seat. The cushioning provides a suitable degree of firmness and as well as comfort for both the rider and the pillion that is just about perfect.
