Yamaha Fazer - Personal Review

I booked this baby and waited for 45 days to get the delivery. Due to some reason, my dealer delayed a lot. But when I got it finally, I knew that the time I waited give me good return. This is a bike which can make you WOW just by her looks. It’s a devil in disguise. The headlights are designed in such a way that you will feel as if it is looking at you with that cunning smile.

The body contains a lot of plastic parts but then it is very good looking because of that. I have heard that you can also change the color of the bike by buying the whole kit and also it is not very costly. But then I have not tried it yet.

The engine is smooth. I mean, although today you don’t say 153cc is much, but then the engine has a nice smooth noise to it and runs smooth. I have not completed my first 1000kms, so I have not tried too much of speed and acceleration. But yes the pickup is nice and you will always have an edge if you want to get out quick from the signals in the city.

Being made especially for long distance, I think the posture for the bike is quite different form others. But yes I find it very comfortable. Although it took me 5 days to figure out the best posture, but when I figured it out, I drove more than 100kms in one go without much of a problem.

The bike is not too heavy so I guess it may shake a bit at high speed, but then I have not tested it yet. The dashboard (for me at least) is very nice. The digital speedometer and the RMP meter do a very good job. The orange light looks good. At first though it will be too jazzy. But then I realized that it is a very good choice. The tires are tubeless so you can be tension free at long distance form the fear of punctures. And they are very wide which gives you an amazing grip. Although the bike comes with MAG wheels, I didn’t like the look and feel of the same. I think they could have done something better than that. And one thing which is a bit irritating is that although it has two lights which look like two eyes, they both don’t turn on at the same time y default. I mean, sure you can do that in the workshop and that will hardly take 10 minutes. But then it is not something which comes by default.

PS: Still not sure about the mileage. Will tell as soon as I come to know.
