My friend Antonio from Techline LLC has signaled this video. It’s a gymkhana, a contest where the competitors test their balance skills: the winner is the rider who completes the course in the shortest time without touching the ground with his feet. This type of competition seems to be very common in Asia. What’s interesting to notice is the technique: to make a tight turn at slow speed the rider has to shift his body position far outside the bike with his weight on the outside peg. The farther away the rider moves from his bike the more will lean the bike and the tighter will be his turn. Just the opposite technique used in high speed turns (see Antonio’s picture). I have never raced in a gymkhana but I grew up in Rome with tight roads and bumper to bumper traffic, a perfect field to challenge your balance and reflex.
Yamaha India launched the another stunning bike in 150cc segment. This new bike is FZ16 which is aimed to target the youth with its stylish and sporty looks. Yamaha FZ16 has a 150cc carburated, air-cooled, SOHC engine with a 5 speed gearbox which can produce 14bhp power at 7500rpm. and 13.6Nm torque at 6000rpm. The another nice feature of FZ16 is its 5 spokes alloy wheels with the size of 100/60 - 140/60 mm with tubeless tyre. It has the fattest rear tyre ever seen in any other Indian bike in its segment. The speedometer, trip meter, tacho meter, fuel gauge and other indicators are installed in a LCD display to provide more comfort and style to the rider.
Main Styling Features of Yamaha FZ-16:
* Big Center Mass * Macho Street Fighter Looks * Large Muscular Fuel Tank * Tough Looking Front Forks * Tough Looking Chassis * Stubby Silencer * Wide TyresYamaha claims that FZ16 has the fastest pick-up in 150cc segment and it is first Indian bike which has “140/60-17” size radial tyre(rear)". The price of the FZ16 is Rs 65,000, which is lower than the expected price - that might give it a good start. So that, Yamaha India hopes to sell more than five lakh FZ16 in the upcoming year, which may not be looking a tough task by the looks and features. The Reviewers of the bike said that its street fighter looks make it the best looking naked bike in its segment. Further, the muscular tank, aggressive front and rear view make the FZ-16 a must buy bike in its category.
FZ16 is available in 3 Colors that are:
* Lava Red
