In 2025, Indian motorcycle enthusiasts are all talking about the comparison between the Yamaha FZ V3 and newer 200cc bikes. Despite its 150cc engine, the FZ V3 is famous for its torquey low end performance and comfortable riding dynamics. But like everything else, technology is improving and as such many of the 200cc bikes today are now better in terms of power to weight ratios and come with modern features. Riders argue that the FZ V3's tried and true formula is still good enough compared to these newer and more powerful rivals. Real world rideability, fuel efficiency and maintenance costs are all in play. For some, the FZ V3's lower displacement means it's easier to handle for newer riders, while others go on to say 200cc bikes have extra power, which is worth giving up.
