Like the earlier FZ, the suspension setup on the 2.0 is on the stiffer side. This means stability is good and the bike feels planted at triple digit speeds. It also give the rider enough confidence to enter corners at higher speeds. Though the stiff suspension setup also mean the ride is a bit harsh on broken roads.
What impressed us most about this bike is the high efficiency figure. On our 150km highway run, the FZ-S 2.0 returned an average of 49.6kpl. Which should be something that FZ owners will appreciate most.
The base FZ is priced at Rs 76, 000 while the FZ-S costs Rs 78, 000, both ex-showroom Delhi. With an aggressive price tag and high fuel economy we don’t think Yamaha should have any problem as far as FZ sales figures go.
The numbers
1-cyl, 149cc, fuel-injected, 13bhp, 12.8Nm torque, 5M, top speed: 108kph, 49.6kpl, Rs 78, 000(ex-Delhi)
The verdict
Strong performer in the 150cc segment gets a proper upgrade, impressive fuel economy and refinement with an aggressive price tag.
