The Fazer, gets its DNA from the global Fazer series known for their sports touring, awesome looks. It has a “Look-at-me” appeal with the triple macho design concept giving it a concentrated form with excellent ergonomics. It has the beautifully contoured color – coordinated aerodynamic cowling to keep the wind blast at bay. With its comfortable riding position and seat the rider can enjoy a week end getaway or head off on a touring holiday.
Just like FZ16 and FZ-S, Fazer carries the Monocross suspension to ensure agile running performance and handling. The placement of this model’s ‘MidShip Muffler’ toward the center of the machine gives it a good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. Fazer has the “140/60-17” size rear radial tyre with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to better grip and handling stability. The Fazer will be available in four color Electric Blue, Midnight Black, Lava Red and Flaming Orange.
Notable Changes in Fazer Compared to FZ 16:
- Wind tunnel developed aerodynamic cowl and visor protect you from wind blasts on the highway. Enhance stability and riding comfort over long distances.
- Riding posture designed to prevent fatigue and make long journeys more comfortable.
- New design mirrors not only look trendy, but also add to safety with a better rear view.
- New stylish graphics
- Sporty twin headlight adopted design & styling like Yamaha DNA to give more clear vision at night.
- Carbon pattern adopted to enhance the sporty image and the seat dynamics to ensure comfortable long touring.

F another 150cc. yar i dont know when these people will understand that we want bigger bikes, higher bhp, higher torque. We were always angry on bajaj that they launch 150cc then 180cc then 200cc then 220cc. But yamaha has gone one step up 150(R1) then 150(FZ) then 150(FZS) now 150 fazer. In INDIA we have bikes of price range 45000 to 1 lakh then a sudden jump to 10 lakh. where one should go with a budget of 2 or 4 lakh. Where are 250cc or 400cc bikes?
Completely agree with you aman
Aman, I have the same thoughts. Read this article: http://bikeadvice.in/150cc-yamaha-r15-1000cc-yamaha-r1-bike-middle/
does this hav the exact same engine lik the fz’s
if yes tat means the same mileage!
which means its only cosmetic changes…….pssst
i wished the bike had a 250 cc engine…..
Why don’t you go for Bullet,,,,,they are having bikes with higher CC i.e 300, 500
Chill Guys.. After a lot of response for FZ in indian market Yamaha has launched improved version with same engine. It will definitely rock the market.
Surely Yamaha will launch Big Engine Bikes in Future too…. I am happy to see Yamaha Fazer in India. They have removed the limitations of FZ.. like naked looks, light, uncomfortable seat for long drives..
saringa sir…………..
i all ready have one bullet(1968) and a thunderbird
man thats totaly true. I dont thing so i will be able to buy a bike of 400 or 600cc capacity with a price range of 2 to 4lakh until i am 45( 21 now)
price of the bike is even higher than newly launched pulsar 220 and power still only 14 bhp!!!!!11
Hi all,
I read that this bike has a comfortable seat for long drives. I havent seen the bike personally but just comparing the pics this bike and FZ have the same seat it seems.
Am i wrong?
+Avi.
ya ofcourse….
same engine only different fronts! wats wrong with yamaha!
lets hav a bike frm yamaha which competes with the pulsar 220 and the karizma!!
now tat will be fun
We need more power not more styles and fairing. Its high time Yamaha realise they need to boost the power.
u r right the bike has comfortable sitting position i just checked it out yesterday…the first thing u notice on this bike when u sit on the bike is its comfortable sitting arrangement…
Whatever we say, but I think they understand the market better than us. What to launch and what not. Success of FZ is one of the good example.
You are right. Most bikers will never go online to blogs like this, and most don’t have knowledge about the 400cc+ bikes. They just see TV ads, and go to showrooms when they consider buying one!
FZ16 price is about 4k2 USD in Vietnam.
Ya Vietnam has just only release a 135cc sport bike – the Exciter: http://www.yamaha-motor.com.vn/home/san_pham. So, good for you all in India
I dont think so that we will be able to see an affordable bike in India In coming 1 or 2 years. Reason being that the taxes o the higher end bikes are more in india.
LET ME TELL ALL OF U ONE THING i am a mechanical engg and i Work in a XYZ company(cant disclose the name) but! we are 2nd largest automobile manufacturer in world.
IN India homologation is a big issue.
I explain
In India we cant manufacture a 150cc bike more that 17bhp. And many more irrelevant laws makes it very difficult to manufacture a complete bike.
In Europe R15 is of 21bhp but in india it is just 17bhp.
But yamaha is driving all of us angry by producing bike all in 150cc segment that too with such high price. Atleast they should have given a rear disk in fazer for a chnage .
Talking about kawasaki ninja 250r it will be priced above 2 lakhs. But bike still dont worth 20k as it does not have a v engine, produces 27bhp( even RD 350 is 30 bhp) no up side down front shocker. These compnies are just taking advantage that we dont have any other substitute.
I have royal enfield thunderbird and 220 fi. Now have a budjet of Rs 3 lakh but dont have any bike in this price range. I would preffer a comet over ninja in term of performance.
Hi Deepak & all other xperts..!!
I wanna bike within this month. confused between Pulsar 220 & Yamaha Fazer. Well.. I m 24/90/5″10. Usage hardly 10km/day. money is not matter.
Yamaha looks cool however whether it worth @81K on Road.. whearas Pulsar 220 definately has more power but again it old fasioned… u know..
Anywayz plz yaar…!!
Jai
all crab dont go for any bike in india…..if u r really a bike lover than opt for imported 1
try nethyn on indian roads but……….KARIZMA IS KARIZMA>>>>
FAZER -> FZ + RZ ???
what is this yamaha? another 150cc yahama fazer. it look cool but we want 350cc like rajdoot. a better an havy bhp power engine…
pepole call me gOst_rdeR coz i run bike like ghost rider. i’m not scared of fast riding. i’m 2fast2furious. so next time no excuse better u lonch powerful cc engine or stop production…!
minded
Hello Jai,
You should go for YAMAHA Fazer… after all quality matters a lot.
You know Yamaha is no doubt are real bike designers in respect of quality, technology and durability. don’t get confused of the CC fact. YAHAMA has designed this bike with lots of thoughts.
Now a days every second guy you see on the road has a pulsar. Pulsar sucks!!!
I rode Fazer… ultimate feeling… ultimate comfort and ultimate styling… YAMAHA is a YAMAHA…
All the best…
Hi Jai,
Just one query, is the seat any different than the Fz16 or is it the same. I know this bike is amazing but I will be mostly accompanied with my better half on the bike. I’ve heard that the FZ’s pillion seat is uncomfortable. What do u say abt fazers?
Hi Avi,
I rode both fz-s and recently Fazer. the pillion seat looks smaller but its comfortable. i took the test ride with my friend and we tested the comfortness of the pillion seat… no problems. The seat looks stepped up but adds glory to the looks…
also note 1 thing… every manufacturer can develop more CC bikes… but it all depends upon how they are using it… So the conclusion is that just a bike having 220cc engine cannot be considered powerful.
Hi Guyz,
I can understand some of u guys are getting upset with Yamaha as they are launching bikes with just 150 CC. I own a ported RX 135 and RD 350 and I wish Yamaha could act according to loyal yamaha fans like us who are looking for performance efficient bikes. But try and understand the market stratergy here. Yamaha is trying to capture the Indian market first. Not many people go for a performance bike. (No wonder Hero honda splender was a huge success in our country). Yamaha was not able to capture the indian Market with bikes likes Cruz R & Libero. That’s why they are launching the younger sibling of Fazer’s & R1. I am sure once they able to grab a good share of the market they will surely bring in the 400 and 600cc’s to India. That is exactly what Here honda & Bajaj did before. They first lanched Splendor’s and Pulsor’s to capture the Indian market and now they are launching bikes around 250 CC. Since Yamaha have a worthy 400 and 600CC’s suited for indian market I believe we (Loyal and die hard Yamaha fans) will get our share of powerful bikes.
its not about looks….u r right tht every manufacturer can develop more CCs bikes but dude power is sumthin youngsters lookin for as well as looks and fazer isnt havin tht power just looks …so 1 will prefer karizma….
dude nowadayz youngsters lookin for looks nd at most power as well..fazer is havin looks but lack power..i hav tested it..no matter the bike is comfortable nd havin gd looks..but the name yamaha dos not shine in such bikes cuz the name yamaha comes where power is mentioned..
Pulsars suck cheasting indian customers 150 , 180 200 220
All look alike same output difference of 1 or 2 bhp in eacj of these
BIG CHEATS BAJAJ
Imagine 220 was launched with 21 bhp as compared to previous 20 bhp are they givin us charity 1 or 2bhp
look at the new 180 from far u can mistake it 4 a 200 wat bout previous owneres of 180 theyll feel cheated all these features missing on their bikes
I dunno baja is a BIG GIMMICK besides go buy one 220 and ull know how it burns a hole in ur pocket
IF THEY LAUNCHED CARB VERSION FASTER NOW WHY DID THEY EVER LAUNCH FUEL INJECTED VERSION BEFORE
WASTE
JUST EXPERIMENTING WITH THE INDIAN PUBLIC
MY QUESTION WHY DID THEY EVER LAUNCH THE FUEL INJECTED 220 IF THEY HAD TO LAUNCH A FSTER 220 WITH A CARB
RESULT OLD 220 OWNERS CHEATED !!!!!
PERIOD
Thanxs for ur suggestion. Lokesh. i’ve booked Fazer yesterday n waiting for delivery as they dont hav Blue color in stock.
I took the decision after going through lot’s of factors. At the end of d day i think i made the right decision atleast not goin with P220.
Cheers.
Jai
Hi,
congrats Jai for ur new bike,
I never had a budget of 70+ and was confused between Unicorn and GS150R. A week ago I went to a mall with my family and we saw a Fazer on demo. The uninamous decision of my family “If u r going to buy a bike then this should be it”. I know they were just taken by the looks of the bike , but anyways the bike is good on specs too. So , I BOOKED IT
. Waiting period of 45 days , flaming orange.
Cheers
Avi
Congratulations Buddy!
Its nice to hear that you are going to be a proud owner of a YAMAHA bike.
m too booking Fazer (black color).
What is the on road price costs to you?
Drive safe!
pulsar would suit your height .. i would say leave all toys out and take the beast thunderbird twin spark plug that gvs a bhp of 21 and with changed leg gaurd would look like a beast ravishing on the road
very true !! even the quality of parts is also not good , rear brake are worst as it goes out within a month and clutch plates changes are frequent
Awesome looks, but underpowered.
Congrats 2 u 2….!! its almost 81K (Chennai). Hw abut u..?
Cheers,
J
Thnxs Nakul for ur suggestion.. however 2 b very frank.. i dont trust BAJAJ quality anymore… its like bringing High Attitude Wife.. til 1st yr C will give all the pleasure but after that U will b in Deep SHIT…
Sorry dude but tht my personel opinion.. which may vary to person to person..
Cheers,
Jai
Thxs..AVI… U Hav taken a Brave N Right decision.. It always better to invest tin quality. However, I think Blue or Black hav much better looks rather flaming orange..
Cheers,
Jai
i have planned to buy the yamaha fazer.. yesterday i saw it on road and was a bit confused over its looks.. does it looks good ? further in the last six months,yamaha has launched 3 varaiants of FZ.. 1.FZ 2.FZ-S 3.FAZER.. i doubt like if i go for fazer,then in the next 3 months,yamaha may launch another varaiant,thereby making my fazer outdated..
guys, can i go for fazer..kindly help me out in this regard
There will always something good coming out, no point in regretting if u’ve already bought something. Right now Fazer is no doubt one of the best 150 cc bikes in India. The thing is, the more you read all over abt bikes the more you will get confused. Just shortlist the bikes you like , go to the respective showrooms , have a close look, take a test ride and book whichever u love.
Hi Rajesh & to all other folks.. I’ve got the delivery of Fazer today (BLUE)n it superb. Grt handling, pickup & comfort which i was looking for. Happy with it. This weekend i will upload my reviews.
Rajesh : Just go for it yaar.. dont worry abut the variant’s n all. it looks sexy specially frm back side.
Safe Riding…
Cheers,
Jai
ok.. thanks man
Hi,
Here at Nagpur, MS, it costs 82500 Rs. I got the delivery very next day of booking the bike… and it rocks…
fst of all the bike looks ossam..bu thn 4 81k catogary v hv pulser 180(2009 edition),stunner cbf 150..and a lots more.cmparng all these fazer looks a bit okward..yar for 75k bajaj iz givng u split seats,split handles na lots..so i vsh yamaha could give a bit more make ups 4 fazer both power wise nd stlye wise nd keep its price ther itself..
A combination of Good Steel, Powerful and Perfect Technology in YAMAHA bikes. No comments about its products bcoz East or West YAMAHA is the best. Do not compare with another bikes.

Hi,
This is my first bike so, can u tell me please what documents are required to get a bike-license? And where from will I get this?
I just gave my passport copy. One document to prove it all.
Otherwise its the regular – light bill/ration card/pan card thing. As you said u’ve just made your driving license , I believe the same docs will be sufficient.
+Avi.

Hi All,
I am using Yamaha Fazer for the past 2 months and has done my 2nd service. I have done 3500 Kms as of now. The bike is smooth,sexy,smart and stable. The head lights are very power full and trust worthy even at foggy hairpins. Tyres are excellent and can withstand a 60 degree inclined turn at 90 kms/hr. Thhe top speed I have achieved as per date is 128 Km/Hr. Vehicle is much smoother after 2nd service. Milege after 2nd service is 38 @ city and 45 @ highways which is not bad for a 153 cc one.
Defect I faced was for the fuel indicatior. Initiially the indicatior was showing reserve even at Full tank! But it got rectified in the service. Yamaha could have made the engine 200CC so that no one will ever dare to say a bad comment about it. I strongly recomment this bike for touring enthusiasts. DO go for a long drive [>150 Kms] here you will know the real pleasure of it. Admiration [especially from hot girls]are guaranteed for Fazer [personally tested and verified !].
“Have a happy N safe journey”
Hi Guys,
I am happy to convey that Yamaha is planning to release a 200CC+ engine in FZ and Fazer. If its 80 since it can’t withstand the air pressure. Handles won’t turn much and causes city driving tough.
I request Yamaha to redesign it so that we can ride bikes for long.
Thank you all for you time on my thoughts,
Nikhil Unnikrishnan.
Dear All,
I have done 6000km on fazer bought in sept 2009.
All those who have opted for Fazer hold ur hearts!……………………….
milage – 35kmpl if u r rocker like me (i avg 90kmph)
Power mongers – this beast can beat all ur karizmaz & pulsars anywhere.. 0 to 100 in 10secs flat (i checked it myself)
what is amazing is pickup at even at speeds of 70kmph n above it jolts n move ahead like a bolt on a slightest twist of wrist.
pure pleasure & getting better
once u know ur fazer….nothing can stop u
tremedous handling even at sharp curves!!!!!
all fazer pickers Enjoy !! n welcome to YAMAHA CLUB.
GOOD LUCK N GODSPEED!!
Godspeed Dude
Can you give me ur ph no.?
