Hero XPulse 200 vs Yamaha FZ V3

Question 1

Q. Want to buy a bike, but getting confused between Yamaha FZ V3(150 cc) and Honda Unicorn 160 cc. Please help me with some helpful insights on this.

Answer

Selecting between the Yamaha FZ-FI V3 and Honda Unicorn would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, features required, ride quality, etc. Honda Unicorn comes equipped with a larger 163cc fuel-injected, air-cooled engine produces 12.92PS and 14Nm. The bike features a long comfortable seat, good ground clearance and a refined engine, however, the Japanese brand has made no effort to modernize the Unicorn BS6 as it misses out on LED headlight or even a ACG starter as seen on the Honda Shine. On the other hand, the FZ-FI V3 is powered by a fuel-injected 149cc 2-valve single-cylinder engine. Revision to the engine has seen a power drop from 13.2PS to 12.4PS while the torque has been bumped up by 0.8Nm to 13.6Nm. The FZ still holds a strong position in the brand’s lineup and makes a strong case with its comfortable riding position and good handling traits. The bike comes equipped with modern day features like a smart-looking LED headlight and negative LCD fully-digital instrument cluster. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Answer

Dear Zigwheels team, The comparison made on both the bikes are very well, but after-sales service on Yamaha FZ is more and we need to depend on the Yamaha service center all the time. Since the ECU kit included local mechanics will not be able to perform the service. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Question 5

Q. Which is good to buy, FZ Fi V3 and FZ-S Fi V3?

Answer

If you notice between the two there is not much of a difference because the dimensions, engine, performance, ergonomics everything is same. it all boils down to one thing, do you want a engine guard and body graphics or not. If you want then you can go for FZS Fi V3, if not FZ Fi V3.

Answer

Basically there is no such great difference in both.in fz s u will have a engine guard and chrome garnish. and yes if you want maate colour gofor fz s and if u like glossy go for fz

Answer

There is no mechanical difference between two bikes 2 segments have 3 different colours which colour u like u can bur Adding one thing matt finish colours which is offered in fzs like matt black tends to attract dust in very short time and looks dirty So went for pure black colours and I'm very satisfied
