Best bike in this segment comfort, mileage, riding experience the acceleration and the best part is naked look of this bike. Great experience Yamaha FZ is a great bike. Since I learned bike riding from this bike it was awesome. So far the ride has been nothing but awesome even long rides are comfortable and fast. No vibration even at high speed great experience. Smooth gear change the sound feels melody, Weather highway or rough road even off riding no problem at all. I would definitely recommend anyone if you want a bike with so many features especially the balance of this bike top notch. I can say all this because I learned bike riding from this FZ so I adore it. As it was a journey to remember.

Good mileage in this segment and overall performance is great too. Styles are good as well. Safety is also good in this segment.. Nothing to worrying about safety concerns.

Yamaha FZ is a good bike
I had a very great experience in driving my bike,It has a good mileage and low maintenance cost. I used it to travel to my university and back to my flat. It is cost effective and also supported me many times. Feels like I am driving a sports bike in that low budget. I suggest that this is the best bike we can have.

Proud owner of this bike
Proud owner of this bike. I don't know why people r having low mileage. I easily get mileage of above 60 on highways at normal speed of 55 kmph. Sometimes even more than 64. Till now I have driven approx 39000 kms in just 2 yrs. Main drawback is it requires chain set change after every 15000 kms. Also indicators r not flexible like in bajaj pulsar (my old bike). Seat comfort is too good. Fuel capacity is also good, approx 11 ltrs (when fuel indicator starts blinking ). Bike features good handling while driving fast while overtaking. ABS works fine. Finally it's a fun to drive bike with no issues.

Overall experience
N160 is blessing for young riders and also comfortable for the family. It has 164 cc engine, which provides instant acceleration and it gives good mileage around 50 which make it insane for a 160 cc engine segment. Overall experience is good and the cost of the parts of this bike is is also affordable.
