Yamaha FZ16 has wider tyres, which provides better riding comfort.. But the feedback is it doesn’t have much power than ordinary 150s (cuz of heavier tyres). I am receiving mixed feedback about mileage. Some are having 50-55km/l where else sum only gets 35km/l..

hey friends.. im new here at the forums… nways the thing is that im going to buy fz 16 next month… so i jus wanna ask what is the actual top speed of fz 16.. frankly i like to be a speedy roadster on the streets as well as on long roads(not highways)… i don’t have any doubts abt fz’s acceleration.. but all the i knw is what is its pure top speed.. the company claims it 132kmph but i wanna knw from fz 16’s users… coz the thing is ma friend got pulsar 150cc 2008 model… he ride it on 127kmph(bike was not goin above that) on noida road.. so can fz 16 beat this 127kmph of top speed or not?? coz he’s the only challenge for me among ma friends… though i have seen a fz 16 goin 121kmph in a video on youtube but then also i wanna ask this questions from the user of fz..so plzzzz guys help me in this regard as soon as possible coz if ur answer go opposite from what im expecting.. then i have to go for k & n performance kit for fz in order to increase its top speed & all if it can’t able to beat 127kmph range.. ma problem is i can’t take a bike more expensive than fz..& i don’t wanna take common lookin bikes also… sooo plzzz help me out.. so that i ensure that i don’t have to start collecting sm money for k & n performance kit..:(
thank u…

Hi Guneet,
dunno abt the top speed. FZ is havin a power of 14 BHP @ 7500 rpm. Only HUNK is havin a bit more power than FZ (14.4 bhp). All other 150s are havin only abt 13-14 range bhp .. But I ‘ve also heard FZ wont give the output of normal 150’s, cuz of wider tyres. Anyway FZ is a gud byk. It wont make you unhappy. You will hav a smooth ride on it..
Now gettin the top speed of a bike also depends on when you shift your gear. A perfect shift gives you better acceleration and top speed.
Wishin you all d best to take ur beast to 130 km/h without K&N filters. DRIVE SAFELY ..

hi karthik,
who said FZ16 wont give the output of normal 150’s.
it has the best pulling and pickup in the 150 cc segment.
the only drawback is it gives mielage only around 40 or 45 which other 150 cc will give around 50 or more.
140mm tyre is a tubeless and a radial one so it should not have that much of weight so it does not affect the pickup.
Because of its 13.6nm torque(which other 150cc bikes only offer around 12nm)fz16 has the better pickup.
