   @ Krish: Its only my idea. Yamaha might don’t even know.:P But rumors are around the corner for such a bike.Yamaha already have a single cylinder 250cc in the Brazilian market in the form of Fazer 250.But suitable modifications is to be done before the launch.If they are having any plans on a bigger FZ series, this will be the best possible way.Its simply a full faired version of the current Fazer-16 on our market.Yamaha supply such full faired kit in their international market for the fz series.So thumbs crossed and waiting for such a bike.

   wow Nice…. but y its only 5 gear being a 250cc ?

   Abiram Menon on February 7, 2010 at 8:09 pm

   @ Athul : The Fz series is touted as a sports touring bike world wide.So if the bike comes with a better torque curve, there is no need for a 6 th gear to make things complicated.its debatable like what u said.But again there are only 5 gears on the current fazer 250 and adding an extra cog means a new gearbox. so no need to make the bike more expensive.the fz should not be a performance bike, but rather a sedate sports tourer like Karizma.

   I suggest Yamaha put a more displacement engine like 180cc to the fz series and roll out fz 18. Let the power be boosted upto 17-18 PS. The mileage shall remain at 40-45 kmpl. The weight should be increased by around 5kg. With only the old age p 180 and apache rtr 180 for company the fz 18 is sure to make more sales.
   Another idea is to fit the rear r15 wheel and a better tuned engine to the fz and roll out an economy friendly version of fz 16 and fz s. Due to its lower weight the fz sure has greater scope for a mileage like 55-60. Anyone please route my ideas to Yamaha.

   BUT THE MOST URGENT AND NECESSARY MODIFICATION WOULD BE TO INCREASE THE BACK SEAT SIZE. Since the suspension is monoshock, the pillion will be comfortable as in the Unicorn.

   Lolz you have mention the top speed also..hope yamaha will look into your concern.

   Haha, no 250 from Yamaha in the near future. All are rumors.

   Abiram Menon on February 8, 2010 at 1:46 pm

   @ Vineeth: Ur first idea is applicable, but they have to start it from scratch. coz they dont have a 180 cc engine at the moment and mileage wont stay there if its power is increased that much.it will be around 35-40 kmpl.
   But friends, please grow up from the typical Indian market. Only we have bikes with every 20cc difference. If we dont change our attitude, India is not going to get bigger motorcycles. I Felt pity seeing Honda went all the way down and introduced a 110 cc bike starting with 150cc Unicorn. Yamaha is also introducing a new 100cc bike so is every other manufacturer. we already have good 100 cc bikes which can give 75kmpl+ .Buy a splendor, save ur money big time and go buy an SBk

    Abiram Menon on February 8, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    @ Anil: The current Fz is a dumb machine in the highway since it produce lots of torque way down the powerband. So we will be a little optimistic in the quoted speed

    aka on February 8, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    a 250cc bikes need 2 cylinders otherwise it wont be efficient in terms of power

12. 

    Abiram Menon on February 8, 2010 at 8:03 pm

    @ aka: check the reviews abt single cylinder 250cc bikes like Honda twister and Yamaha fazer 250. And after all we are not talking abt Yamaha R 25, in this case 2 cyl or more is a must.

13. 

    UAL on February 8, 2010 at 9:16 pm

    WITH POWER BOOSTED TO 17-18 PS how CAN IT MAINTAIN THE MILEAGE DUDE?????????????? GUESS U CANT HAVE BOTH !!!!

14. 

    aka on February 8, 2010 at 10:35 pm

    yamaha will not upgrade the fazer to 250 cc because then it will directly compete with yamaha’s own r15

15. 

    dk on February 8, 2010 at 10:43 pm

    why should they be going with only 5 gears???

    i wont give a shit if it has 5

16. 

    Abiram Menon on February 9, 2010 at 11:09 pm

    @aka : its all rumors and if tvs launch the Apache 220, which is another one, then r15 will get spoiled big time. Even apache 180 is giving a hard time for it.already i am seeing a lot of people selling r 15 for buying karizma ZMR. and if priced at 1.5 lac, it is a solid rs 50,000/- difference with r 15.so it will sell easily and wont compete with r 15.
    @dk : hey the only way for Yamaha to price it at 1.5 lac is simply putting the International Fazer 250 engine.that engine is coming only with a 5 speed gearbox and if they want to put another gear, they have to completely redesign the crank case.And if there is plenty of torque, there is no need of an extra gear

    hey guys do not be fooled by this photo… this is he fake one
    i have seen its real photo….it is a very simple bike, just like c.d dawn..

18. 

    Abiram Menon on February 12, 2010 at 12:22 pm

    @rahul sharma: hey its already stated in the very starting of this post that this is a photoshop rendering. We all know the original Fazer 250 is a cd dawn like bike. But no way, Yamaha will launch that vehicle with a decade old design. This is jus a noramal Fazer 160 with a side covering.

    rahul sharma on February 13, 2010 at 6:03 pm

    hey guys do not b fooled by this snap….its not real..

    Poem in hindi for great yamaha and yamaha family and all of yamaha lovers.
    For R15 , FZ 160

    1 . Wo thi kal ki baat .
    Ho chuki hai jo purani.
    Aao kare suruat nai.
    Hai bhrosemand purana sathi wahi .
    Yamaha ne thani hai .
    Nai dosto ke saath hai aye.
    R 15 , FZ 160 se koi karega kya muqabla .
    Oro ne pehle hi sikast hai mani .
    Yamaha ne hai mana .
    Jurorat hai nai prayaso ki .
    Aaj garv hai , mujhe .
    Kyu pasand hai Yamaha mujhe .
    Pehle kabhi na mili , kisi aur or mai aise .
    Dekhne ko khubsurati .
    Socha na tha kabhi kisi ne .
    Yo Yamaha ne bdal di .
    Bike bazar ki kaya .

    2. Yamaha Yamaha Yamaha.
    Dekho na tujhe .
    Kaise aaye chen mujhe .
    Lajwaab ho tum itni .
    Kehne ko sabd mere pass nahi.
    Banane walo ne tujhe kya khob banya racha .
    Tere jaisa koi aur na duja .
    In lambi sadko ka taj ho tum .
    Shakti santulan aur khobsurti .…
    Hai behphana tujme samai .
    Ogte surya ka noor ho tum .
    Yamaha in dilo ki chaht ho tum .
    Two wheeler jagat ki shaan ho tum .
    Yamaha sabse aage ,sabse tej ho tum
    Hai her dil tujh pe fida .
    Yamaha kabol karo salam mera ..

    For john Abraham and yamaha
    3. Hai Yamaha bike nirali .
    Sabse alag pehchan wali .
    Sabse sunder dikhne wali .
    Sabke dilo ko chone wali .
    Shakti aur santolan wali .
    Sabke man ko bhane wali .
    Her aakhno me basne wali .
    Kache, pake ratile , rasto ko paar karne wali .
    Yamaha ka hai percham faila .
    Her juban per naam iska .
    John , john Abraham ne hai mana .
    Yamaha ka hai apna rutba .

    Tabhi to john kehta hai – yes Yamaha

    For great yamaha
    4. maine Yamaha ko
    Jab- jab dekha
    Dhop me isko
    Her bar chamkte dekha
    Jab- jab Yamaha akar rukti hai
    Tab-tab logo ki bhid ikothi hote dekha
    Maine jab- jab dekha
    Yamaha ko aage (badte) niklte dekha
    Jab-jab dekha ise
    Surksha ke liye bante dekha
    Jab- jab dekha ise
    Kache, pake ratile , rasto ko paar karte dekha
    Lajwab , bepanah , shakti ko dekha
    Suna , dekha logo ki jubani wah Yamaha
    Maine isko samay –samay per
    Nai roop nai power me dekha
    Iski behpanah gungise ko dekha
    Samay ke saath isko viksit hote dekh raha hoon
    Ate: her baar maine ise
    Sabse aage badte dekh raha hoon

    For Libero G5, Alba, YBR 106 cc bikes
    5. Ajab , gjab, nirali shan wali
    Aai dekho 106 ki bikes matwali
    106 cc ka kmal dekho dekho
    1 ltr. me 85 km chalte dekho
    173 mm ka ground clearance dekho
    Breakro ko jhukte dekho
    Iske lambe shockers dekho …
    Jo de aram ka vada
    Herani wali baat nahi
    Yamaha ki hai ye technique bhai
    Hai in 106 cc biko me khobiya baimisal
    Tabhi to hai Yamaha Alba ,YBR,Libero G5 –no samjhota bike
