2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi: Same Price Other Options
From a cruiser to a maxi-scooter and more, here’s everything you can get at the same price range
The 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi is here, and the bike has been updated to meet OBD-2B norms. The bike is now a lot more eco-friendly. It is priced at Rs 1,34,800 (ex-showroom Delhi), which makes it Rs 10,000 more affordable than the Yamaha FZ-S Fi Hybrid, and only Rs 3,600 more expensive than the previous generation Yamaha FZ-S Fi.
Now, if you feel that it’s a bit too expensive for what at the end of the day is a 150cc motorcycle, then here’s a list of all bikes and scooters you can consider in the same price range.
Bajaj Avenger 220
Price: Rs 1,43,373 (Street variant, ex-showroom, Delhi)
If you’re someone who is a cruiser enthusiast and are looking for something with a proper American cruiser look, then the Bajaj Avenger 220 is the bike for you. The Avenger 220, is powered by a 220cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder motor which outputs 19.03PS and 17.55Nm.
The Avenger 220 is offered in two variants. If you’re someone who is looking for a touring friendly cruiser then you can go for the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220. It gets a tall windscreen, a chrome highlight on the tank and has a more premium feel overall. However, it features spoke wheels with tubed tyres, which may not be convenient in case of a puncture.
For riders who are looking for a more city-oriented cruiser which can provide a comfortable riding experience, then the Avenger 220 Street is a good choice. The bike is a bit more barebones with a lower handlebar, and misses out on touring accessories like the windscreen but gets alloy wheels. Here’s a breakdown the prices of both:

TVS Ronin Base Lightning Black
Price: Rs 1,35,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The TVS Ronin is another option you can look into, and even though its design is unique, and takes inspiration from a wide genre of motorcycles, it can still be categorised as a roadster. With snazzy colour schemes and retro-ish design, the bike just manages to stand out in the crowd.
Powering the Ronin is a 225.9cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine which outputs 20.4PS and 19.93Nm. But what really makes the bike’s performance great for city riding is the TVS Glide-Through-Technology or GTT.
This is a low-RPM assist function which allows the bike to cruise through traffic at lower speeds without stalling. This means that the rider will be able to ride in slow moving traffic without having to constantly work the throttle and clutch. More importantly, the engine is also tractable enough to allow you to ride at low speeds on higher gears. The Ronin is a choice worth considering if you want a feature-packed roadster which can handle your city commutes with ease.
Yamaha Aerox 155
Price: Rs 1,50,130 (ex-showroom Delhi)
Power combined with practicality is what a maxi-scooter promises. It is the perfect middle-ground between a motorcycle in terms of performance and a scooter in terms of practicality. The Yamaha Aerox is currently a very good option in this segment.
It is powered by a Yamaha R15-derived 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine which outputs 15PS and 13.9Nm. The engine also features Yamaha’s Variable-Valve-Actuation (VVA) technology, which ensures a good balance of low-end grunt and top-end drive. Along with this, the scooter also gets traction control adding an additional layer of safety when riding over slippery surfaces.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 (Streetfighter)
Price: 1,48,813 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The Yamaha FZ-S Fi is a simple commuter, but sometimes you need a bit more power and performance. In this case, the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 stands out as an affordable streetfighter which is able to offer just that.
The bike is powered by a 160cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder motor which outputs 17.2PS and 14.6Nm. The bike has also been updated with an inverted fork and modern features like a digital console with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The bike’s strongest point is outright performance, and at this price point the Pulsar NS160 is the best option to consider if you want a sporty 160cc bike.
Ola S1 Pro Plus 4kWh (Electric Scooter)
Price: 1,48,999 (Ex-Showroom)
So far all the options listed here have been conventional petrol powered bikes and scooters. But if you’re someone who wants to look into an electric vehicle then the Ola S1 Pro Plus is an option worth considering.
The S1 Pro Plus is now the top-spec offering from Ola Electric, and has now replaced the Ola S1 Pro with the Gen 3 update. The scooter is powered by a 4kWh battery pack and offers a claimed range of 242km. The scooter also has a claimed top speed of 128kmph which is quite impressive.
User Reviews
- Premium Feel but Budget PerformanceThe metallic build, the riding posture, the service availability, mileage, touring capability, exhaust sound and the overall look. Also the pillion comfort was a curicial thing for me as I travel long distance with pillion. I wish I could rev it like r15 and go faster but what can I do. It is a good city bike but fails to impress on the highway. Not saying that it is not enjoyable on highway but you just can't go fast and that is really dissapointing coming from a 225 cc. If you are tight on budget but still want the neo retro cruiser feel then only go with this. If you can up you budget by 50-70k then I don't see any reason why one would buy this bike as there are way better options available.Read More

- Best in the segment for CruisingI chose this bike for the comfort in city as well as long rides. I have driven this bike for more 40K Km and I am happy with this bike. The only concern I have is about the safety as the leg guard is too short compared to the other bike and the as there is a gap from where you rest you feet for shifting gear and braking as it does not cover the feet. The ride is good, it is low maintenance if you take good care of the bike, also long routes are amazing as there is no fatigue. Cons is just about the handling as this a cruiser bike so it is not everyone ride. Definitely this bike is for the people who like comfort low maintanence. If you get a hand on the back seat then the comfort is next level. The mileage is good in the city and if you go for a long ride then you will get a good mileage which can be 40 plus.Read More
- good bike but need some improvements.The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.Read More
- yamaha aerox 155 Reviewi choose this bike because it looked good , i specifically liked the red and black combo , the red wheels looks amazing and i liked the styling of the scooter, mileage was also amazing like other scooters. The ride is amazing i have went many places in this scooter with my friend and we have yet not faced any major issue during the ride we took it off road to jungle road also but everything was fine specifically the suspensions better as compared to other scooters in market . i think students should buy this its a little rough and tough it looks good has a good pickup has a decent storage space and finally gives a good milage and it does not make any loud sounds during the start so you can easily take it out for night outs.Read More
