Most of us are lucky. Look at the FZ16

[FastZipper6]

They sell them in India and they are only 153cc. Kinda cool looking but not near as fun as our bikes.

Oh my gosh...it's a nightmare in plastic! and as for that exhaust pipe...that is just plain ugly....whole bike looks like it's trying to be something it is not...a big bike!

Oh well, small capacity bikes are the majority in some countries, and people buy them for very different reasons, so i guess it has it's place...just not at my place!

Heh... it comes in 'Flaming Orange'.

This article has some better pictures of the instrumentation and colors.

It's not THAT bad looking, and it only weighs ~280lbs dry. It's a good fit for the indian market.

I like little bikes.
I wish we had more of them here.

 

[FZTofer]

I like the seat on it :thumbup:
and
The headlight :thumbup:

and it would be cool to have one to just ride around town

or have in the MSF courses :thumbup:

Yeah but the locals are in love with the power and the torque.

Compared to the bigger bikes, it's ugly, but when compared to what they have over there and what they ride on everyday, it's beuuuuutiful. Not bad for what it is.

But wait, there's more:

Thats not a muffler, thats the optional food warmer, gotta have somewhere to heat up your lunch.

Ummm...curry.

 

[2004Ralli//art]

indeed...that is not the best looking bike i have seen...it looks like that muffler weighs enough to tip the bike over on its own

 

[FZ6er_FSR]

Alright, which FZ had sex with a scooter?

 

[Wolfman]

Doesnt look too bad from this angle?

I kinda like it. It would be a cool commuter for back roads and around town with GREAT MPG! Of course, I'd have to fab an undertail exhaust for it though!

Looks can be modded.

I like it, the seat looks better than my FZ6 seat lol.
I also think that it would actually sell well in the UK.

FZ16 because it's 1/6 the awesomeness of the FZ6?

 

[madmanmaigret]

If they get that giddy over that abomination.... imagine what they would do if they saw a "real" FZ?

 

[GastonJ]

and, in case anyone missed it, it's not available in the claimed "faster blue"
