2) Yamaha Fazer 2.0 Review (2014 - Present)

Fazer 2.0 Vs Old Fazer Yamaha Fazer looks simple,yet with its stylish traits it stand still in the hearts of many. Yamaha has two variants Fazer and Fazer FI. The main difference between the two is about the engine. Fazer FI has the fuel-injected option whereas it is absent in case of Fazer. With the Fazer only the electric power option is available whereas with the Fazer FI, both electric and kick start options are available. The Yamaha Fazer price at Rs.78,385/- ex showroom New Delhi.Available Yamaha Fazer color options include Steak Red, Getaway Blue, Rising Red and Milestone Black. This is the only bike that is being provided with semi-faired under Rs 1 lac.

Ergonomics:

With its styling cues, it can even give tough competition to Honda CBR 150 R. Striking appeal gets reflected with the twin headlamps. If the rear end have been redesigned then it would like much more better.Futher,140 rear section tyre that is to be shared from the FZ doesn’t look so good. Introduction of fairing has both positive and negative results. Regarding the positive aspects ,the presence of fairing gives a bike like feel. It doesn’t hamper the movement much. Yet, it shows its negative side too in the tight traffic. The tank gets plastic covering that too of top-notch quality. No vibrations is felt while riding, thus the ergonomics is supreme.

Engine and Performance:

There are mechanical changes are to be found, since the same 153 cc engine delivering the power up to 14 HP has been set up to power the engine. This power production is efficient for city riding that comes up to 60kmph.Smoothness can be spelt in terms of gearshifts. The acceleration that is being produced from 3000 to 6500 rpm is really impressive. The presence of throttle position sensor that varies the ignition timing and helps in providing accurate and precision sparks makes the Yamha Fazer alive. However the power band is found to be narrowed down and still there is an need of more gearshifts .All these lackness results mainly due to the pillion on-board. We got a combined milaege up to 38kmpl.

Handling and Braking:

Comfortness have been provided to a greater extent. With relaxed seating position, good sight and grippy tyres that has been built with medium compound rubber, one can enjoy long rides. One can feel convenient even in the long way traffic. Highway ride is made ease and comfortable than FZ with the monoshock suspension, wide handlebar and the front visor. With wide handlebar one can take smooth curves around the road. Tall front visors will considerably reduce the windblasts at high speeds. A 267 mm disc at the front giving such a spongy feel tends to give the good braking effect. Also the rear drum brake that is sharp has also made its contribution. Attached mudguard seems to user-friendly. Wider grab rails has been gifted with grab rails for a secured and comfortable grip. Previous issues has been solved that can be seen as the kick start addition. The instrument console consits of digital meter displaying information on speed, RPM and fuel level. The twin headlight system with strong reflectors is the best-in-class among the intrinsic features. It will be the A one if it had come with 55 W setup. Tweaks that were missed in the FZ were being added to this Fazer.

Verdict:

Overall, the Fazer FI proves to be best in case of styling cues and ergonomics. Many corrections have been done from the prior feedback got regarding the FZ. Only the sad thing is, about the fuel efficiency and power that was found to be narrowed down. Other than this, Yamaha Fazer is the best choice among the youngsters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
