It’s been a long time coming but Yamaha has finally updated the FZ motorcycle – labeled the FZ Version 2.0. A huge chunk of the update is cosmetic. Starting with the front headlight, which has been given an angular design. The muscular fuel tank has remained untouched, and so has the 140/60 rear tyre. The most distinctive part of the new FZ series is the redesigned rear tail-light and exhaust system.
Looking at the news FZ-S’s spec sheet we can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. The engine has shrunk to 149cc(from 153cc) and power has also taken dip by a unit to 13bhp and 12.8Nm torque. So has Yamaha turned its streetfighter to a somber commuter bike? Absolutely not.
Yes, the specs do paint a grave picture, but ride the FZ-S a few feet and the reservation about low power are left behind. The engine gets an all new fuel-injection system that replaces the conventional carbureted system. This makes the FZ v2.0 a refined animal on the street.
