2009 YAMAHA FAZER 150CC REVIEW

When Yamaha motors, India marketed Fazer 125cc in 2004, it had the credit of being the first motor bike in India with "insect eye head lamp". But the 125cc Fazer wasn't a success in the Indian automobile Industry. Now after the great success of Yamaha FZ16 and its successors, Yamaha India has introduced into the Indian roads, all new Yamaha Fazer 150cc. Let's start the journey with our new Fazer.

Design & Styling

In the transition from naked street fighter FZ16 to touring bike Fazer 150cc, the design of the rear view mirror design has been modified. Yamaha motors claim that the new Fazer has become more trendy and safer as a result of this modification. To give the fuel tank a muscular look, plastic resin covering has been provided in new Fazer. The Fazer comes with LCD instrument panel. As a result of the modifications in the fairing, the weight of the bike has increased. The 153cc, 4-stroke air-cooled single cylinder SOHC engine can deliver a maximum power of 13.8 bhp @ 7500 rpm and a maximum torque of 14 Nm @ 6000 rpm. The new Fazer is designed in such a way as to ensure better cooling and air flow to the engine.The Fazer has return type 5-speed transmission. To ensure better grip and handling, wider 140/60-17 inch tyres are used at the back of Fazer. The 100/80-17 inch tyres which are used at the rear side of ordinary bikes is used at the front of Fazer. Both the tyres are tubeless.For proper braking, larger 267 mm disc brakes are used in the front tyres. 130 mm drum brake is used at the back.

Drive & Comfort
The new Fazer offers the same drivability as given by the FZ. The Fazer provides efficient performance as FZ. The Fazer is provided with kick start facility. When comparing with FZ16, the Fazer's riding position has been modified so that it is suitable for long journeys. Higher torque and suitable gear ratios expels the burden of frequent gear shift in city driving.
