Makes you feel as buffed as the bike...
It really does. Swing a leg over
the FZ16 and it will instantly trigger off the feel good factor.
The wide flat handlebars, the macho tank, rearset pegs and low seat
height together contribute to give the rider a very comfortable
and stylish riding posture. Lack of a bikini fairing feels surprisingly
nice and the unobstructed sight of what lies in your path, is pleasant
for a change.
The stumpy rear view mirrors look good
and are extremely functional. The FZ16 really begins to shine in
the cityscape as she comfortably squeezes through tight spots maintaining
its composure. The fully digital instrumentation upfront houses
the usual tachometer, speedometer and fuel gauge and the tell-tale
lights. Though the orange backlit display looks uber-chic in the
night, during the day the display lacks brightness and it is difficult
to read the console.
