Technical Specification And Features:
The Yamaha FZ16 goes around corners like a peach with that big 140 section rear serving only to encourage more such peg scraping, knee down antics. But when the going got straighter, the Fz16 rider felt an abject lack of power on the rapider side of 80 kph. With the Karizma-R still doing decent numbers along with the Bajaj Pulsar 220S, a bigger lump between the legs(no puns intended) is just what the doctor ordered for FZ16 riders.
So, Yamaha could shoehorn the 225cc, 18 Bhp motor of the Yamaha Scorpio and give the much needed boost the FZ16 rightly deserves. If this indeed does materialize, it would certainly make the FZ one fun bike to own. For now, this story remains just that, a story. But given the few rumblings we’ve been hearing from Faridabad, Yamaha might just pull off a coup in 2011. Time to keep the antennas attuned to Yes! Yamaha.
