FZ-16\u00a0 is the same bike we seen at the Auto expo (known as FZ 150cc). Unlike to what we believed this FZ-16 will be a 160cc bike. An air cooled, caruberetted 160cc mill will power the new FZ-16. Tuned for torque, this motor is expected to generate around 15bhp of maximum power. FZ-16 will come with 5-speed transmission. The toe only lever gearshift pattern will be the well accepted 1-down 4-up.<\/p>\n<p>If you think R15 does not suit your taller body profile, remember this FZ-16 is a street fighter and its styling will suit for well builds.

The macho tyres of the FZ-16 would be tubeless both at the fore and aft. However in the pursuit of bringing an affordable bike (atleast this time) FZ-16 comes with a drum brake at the rear.<\/p>\n<p>FZ-16 is expected to be priced between Rs70,000-Rs80,000 and will take on the new Apache RTR FI. Yamaha might launch the FZ-16 in September itself.
