Wow. I want that headlight for a naked conversion!!! It looks like a perfect mix between the FZ6N and FZ1N headlight. :thumbup:

*edit* BTW, did anyone click on that link? The name of this bike is the, I kid you not, "FZ1-6". Weird! Me likey!!!

Cool bike very apt for the conditions in India. Its only 12 hp and very light. It would be a good back road bike here in the US. I recon if this bike is taken on our freeways you may need a parachute as you will definately be blown of the freeway . There's also a mini me version of the R1/ R6 called the R15 which is the sporty version of the bike. Here's a review on the R15

I am going to India in Feb/March next year maybe I can check on availability and a group buy while I am there.

Yeah i love the headlights as well. There is already 1 shop here selling a Fz16 but no price yet since it just arrived.

*stands with 600cc engine dangling between legs*

LOL

to be fair tho that does look pretty good for a smaller bike. India is all about smaller-engined bikes. When people come over to visit my parents and have just immigrated from india...their jaws drop when I tell them the specs of the FZ6.

Am I the only one that thinks those photos look massively PS'd?

I doubt that I have seen the bike on the road on my last trip to India it does look sharp. I did not see this color but quite a few of the racing orange ones.

 

[kojie]

Yeah it looks nice in person also the Yamaha r15.

Oh here is a nice valentino rossi commercial... LOL

I owned a CB400 VTEC 2 before changing to a FZ6S2. Sometime i really missed the slient and smoothness of Honda's mtorcyles.

Absolutely! I'll try and keep that in mind and if it's available, maybe we can do that. I'm in love with that headlight!

here a couple of pictures of the little yamaha FZ16 taken in the real world near Medellín, Colombia

the original review (in spanish)
"http://www.demotos.com.co/html/articulo2.htm"

it's being sold here for 6,500,000 Colombian pesos which is about 3,233 US dollars - yeah I know is pretty expensive but this is a different economy anyway -

for comparison purposes currently a brand new FZ6 Fazer S2 (the faired one) costs here 26,900,000 Colombian pesos, about 13,379 US dollars. a brand new FZ6 S2 ABS (the naked one) costs 28,900,000 about 14,374 US dollars.

I have already seen it on the street and it looks pretty nice, just a perfect toy for going around the time without expending a lot of gas.

I had a customer from India come over about 2 years back. He rode a Honda back home but it was 90cc I think? He was one of the lower class that had managed to go to school and get his engineering degree. There was still a lot of the cast system in him. It took me a week to get him talking. Good kid. On lunch break I took him to the local cycle shop to look at bikes. He was shocked at how big they were. The only thing close to what he had back home were a couple of the smaller dirt bikes. It was mid winter in IL, I wanted to rent a Harley and put him on my CB750 but it was @ 20*F... Oh well.

We really should have that bike or maybe a 250 version of that bike here. It would be a great starter bike.

would love a fz 150... very sick looking and im sure it gets great mpg

I have a yoshi pipe and its a screamer when the vtec kicks in. Its louder than some of the fz6 bikers that I managed to ride with.
