Yamaha FZ-X: The Modern Classic Steed with Flaws

Entering the neo retro segment Yamaha FZ-X has been my proud possession for the past six months. Its 149cc engine produces a power of 12.4 BHP sufficient for city commutes and occasional leisure rides. The bike stands out with its classic design cues combined with modern technology like LED lights and a digital instrument cluster making it a unique blend of old and new. The gear transitions could be smoother and at times the bike feels sluggish possibly due to its 139 kg weight.

Pretty approachable

3.8

Yamaha is clearly going for the allure of comfort and practicality with the fz-x.Compared with the fz, The ergos are more relaxed, With a higher handlebar, More forward-set foot pegs, As well as a wider and more spacious seat.The seat height has gone up slightly, But at 810mm it should still be pretty approachable for a majority of riders.The predominant experience on the road is that the fz-x feels light and easy on its feet.At 139kg, It weighs 4kg more than the standard fz, But that’s because components like the fuel tank, Fake radiator shrouds, Front mudguard, Headlamp brackets and thin bash guard at the bottom are now all metal.The actual handling itself is fine, With a balanced and neutral chassis, But it’s certainly not the sharpest or most exciting bike in the segment.The mrf dual-purpose tyres it runs on work fine on dry surfaces, But they don’t appreciate being pushed too hard.Ride quality is decent, With a slightly firm feel from the suspension and while the front brake feels quite dull, The actual braking performance is adequate.A rear disc is standard and the fz-x comes with single-channel abs.The fz-x may be styled like a scrambler, But its actual off-road capability is pretty much identical to the standard fz.That’s because the suspension travel and ground clearance remain the same and the only difference is the extra grip the tyres provide in the dirt.With its smaller fuel tank, The fz-x is going to need more frequent fuel stops because it runs the same motor from the fz, And that includes internal gearing as well as the chain sprocket sizes.What you get is a simple, Air-cooled two-valve, 149cc engine with a smooth 5-speed gearbox.Power stands at a meek 12.4hp while peak torque is 13.3nm.Both figures are not only the lowest in the segment by a considerable margin, But the power figure is just 0.4hp higher than the bajaj pulsar ns125, Which we have also reviewed this month.Yamaha fz-x: should i buy one?this is not a cheap bike by any means, And the y-connect bluetooth-enabled model costs about rs 12, 000 more than the standard fz-s fi.At this price, It’s more expensive than the premium 150-160cc bikes from bajaj, Hero, Honda, Suzuki and tvs, And is positioned on par with the hero xpulse 200.To sum up, The fz-x is certainly a striking and unique motorcycle, And that’s pretty much the main reason to consider buying one.If you like the way it looks, You’ll be getting a tried and tested platform underneath, With a practical, Yet eye-catching motorcycle on top.But if the design doesn’t do it for you, There are plenty of more convincing options out there.

Its a good bike for city

3.0

It's a good bike for city commute with some unique looks. Many people like it much hope for something else (xsr155). From my experience gears are a bit hard and the headlight angle is a bit above usual. Bluetooth feature is just a waste my app always says connection failed and it's of no use. The average of the bike is pretty good as it's a underpower 150cc. For me, it's my first bike and I am happy with it.

Driver seat

4.2

I wanted a bike which cruises at 60 kph and this bike fits the bill. It can go beyond that speed but the engine feels stressed post 60 kph. Also around 4k to 5k rpm I feel vibrations at the junction of fuel tank and driver seat from 3rd gear onwards. The gear box is smooth, the controls are good. Most of all I like the braking, handling and ride comfort of this bike. Below 60 kph, it has good pickup when switching from one gear to another which also gives a good kick to the rider.Overall I would say there are other bikes around 50k cheaper than this which would probably give you the same levels of performance. I cant comment on the other things though. I would say this bike is overpriced at 1.5 lakh rupees on road, for the performance it offers.
