Back in 2008, Yamaha launched the FZ series of street fighter bikes. It was a whole new take on sporty street bikes. It looks nothing like its competitors and came to market with a smooth, powerful and reliable engine and muscular looks as well. It was an instant hit and even I for that matter fell in love with the bike. So much so that few days after the first ride, I put money where my mouth was and booked one. It was one of the best bikes I have owned till date. However with time the FZ series of bikes lost a bit of sheen but still was a hot-seller. Now Yamaha is adding a new variant based on this tried and tested formula. But is it one capable of catching fancy again? We are here to find out.
