The FZ is the model that revived Yamahas fortunes in India, and since its launch, it has been the gold standard for the 150cc sporty commuter, as far as sales figures are concerned. It offered a number of new technologies like radial tyres and a fuel tank that was centralised, at the time of its launch. It is also one of the pioneers of fuel injection, having made the entire FZ range FI at a time when competition was still depending heavily on carburetted variants. The next generation of the FZ is here, and it is not a major update. Single channel ABS has been added, which is compulsory from April 2019 onward; an LED headlamp, and the instrument cluster has white backlighting. The fuel injection has been tweaked to offer better midrange but the peak power output remains the same at 13bhp and 12.8Nm. The split seat has strangely regressed to a single seat, despite the overall design becoming a little more aggressive. The FZ competes with other commuter-oriented sporty motorcycles in the 150-160cc segment like the Honda XBlade, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
