Date : 14th September, 2008.
Place : Goa.
Occasion : Media Launch of beauty : Yamaha FZ 16 “The Lord of the Streets”
The most awaited bike that’s been in news … design, pricing and stunning , sexy looks coupled with sheer power of Yamaha’s technology, from the Global FZ series …
Have a look at the specs, and you’ll realize why …
It’s most likely that this, 132kmph is not like other bikes wherein the whole bike resonates and shakes uncontrollably when in top speed J , because this is YAMAHA… a highway test ride could prove this…
The rock-solid performance engines and speed motorbikes to its credit stand testimony to this.
Also one more thing to notice is this isn’t an oil cooled but a purely air – cooled engine J
Draped in 3 vicious colors : Lava Red, Midnight Black, Flaming Orange the bike awaits a drooling commercial launch in the festive season of October.
Company Brochure :
1. LAVA RED
2. MIDNIGHT BLACK
3. FLAMING ORANGE
With the youth awaiting to embrace this bike , a ” YAMAHA “ J, this product maybe a hit …
Till then, those planning to buy FZ, start your dream ride …. NOW!!!
Wait, it’s not over yet … there’s more to the news, for those thinking of riding a monstrous one, YAMAHA has a Goliath in store for them … but they will have to wait …
Christened “FZ1” a street motorcycle, a whopping 1000 cc bike ( whooaaaah )… scheduled to release in 2009, set to burn the Indian roads…
Yamaha will clearly make high-quality and high-performance products for India, so I expect the price of bikes to be more than normal brand ones.
FZ is slated to be in the range nearing 70,000 INR.

wat will be the on road price in siliguri and when can we get blue col of fz16

Niramal,
As of now nothing can be said , because everyone is talking only about the expected price.
This was just a media launch , its not a commercial lauch. We’ll get to know the exact on -road price in various cities ,when the commercial launch happens this month ,Oct 2008.
You’ll have to wait patiently till coming Diwali Nirmal …
The blue bike is a “FZ1″ and is slated to release in later half of 2009…. that’s going to set trailblazers … and other companies are gearing up their divisions to produce such Power motorbikes…
Yamaha has delivered consistently and perform more than expectations for years ….
and looking at the way this POWERBIKE major is releasing the bikes … its going to be DIWALI everytime it releases in India , rather than it being released in Diwali …

Hi, i am jst learning bike riding. Infact today was my first day. Wud i be able to handle the fz 16? I mean is this bike a good 1 for the beginners?

Well Dev, it won’t be a problem for you to handle FZ 16 , but I wouldn’t suggest this for beginners. Ride on some other low powered bike & then upgrade .. you’ll have greater control & feel the catapulted power-ride too
