The flagship style is also followed by the rear diffusers with the very fashionable multifaceted with clear polycarbonate covers, also the LED brake light is placed on the center wing boot.

Yamaha Fazer Get Touring Spirit

Yamaha Fazer

Overview

Macho & Muscular are the sort of adjectives that come to your mind and that is exactly what Yamaha had in mind when they were this style. The bike takes its air from the World Series known for Fazer looks great and tremendous power.

Yamaha India has contested the 150cc motorcycle segment with the launch of a new variant of the success of the FZ16 FZ-S.

This time, he arrives with a half-fairing version of Yamaha FZ16, Yamaha Fazer, who was baptized.

Design and Styling

The front is now a color coordinated cover aerodynamics in the wind at bay while the driving position is set for long hours, long distances and comes with special anti-slip skin seat.

My favorite is the all-new headlights that do not win the light of prior rights to the clear vision to remain in line with the Global Yamaha Fazer DNA.

Each part of the Fazer was designed with great attention to detail and careful consideration. This ultimate degree of perfection means the slightest feature has not been neglected. Yamaha does this type of craft.

Everything about this bike is big, wide tires, huge tank, the ranges of beef. Side view seems a well built athlete on the starting line flex its muscles, ready to beat all records. Fazer is an urban-cool motorcycle built for great performance and features simple life, because the very idea of a bike like that.

The counters are on the same Fazer - A Full Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel gauge and other indicators are in an excellent position in the field of vision to stay away. The engine starting signal is an example of innovation.

The Fazer, obtained his DNA from World Series Fazer known for their tour of sport, looks awesome. It has a "look-at-me" appeal to the macho triple design concept that makes a concentrated form with excellent ergonomics.

With its comfortable riding position and seat the driver can enjoy a weekend or head off on a tourism trip. As FZ16 and FZ-S Fazer support the suspension of the Cross Agile Mono run performance and treatment. Unlike the cockpit before and wider tires New Fazer looks exactly like the FZ16 and FZ-S.

Engine

Power 153cc engine is refined much the same. The 153cc, air cooled, 4 stroke, SOHC engine generates a maximum power of 14 hp at 7,500 rpm with maximum torque of 14 Nm at 6,000 rpm.

The 153cc engine of this bike is designed for urban travel. The wide tires, low center of gravity and high torque at low revs is a breeze to drive in traffic in the city.

The placement of this model "Muffler amidships towards the middle of the machine gives a good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. Fazer has the 140/60-17 "size rear radial tire with an aspect ratio of 60% contributes to better traction and handling stability.

But car lovers as I wanted something more - bigger engine! At least they plonked engine 180cc or 200cc to compete with the likes of Pulsar 180 and recently launched Apache RTR 180.

Shades

New Fazer has been launched in four colors:

• Electric Blue
• Midnight Black
• Lava Red
