Introduced in 2008, the Yamaha FZ16, or FZ V1, became an instant success due to its muscular looks and comfortable riding position. It sported a fat rear tire, one of the first bikes to do so in India. With a 153cc air cooled engine that gives 14 bhp power, the bike is propelled. Yamaha has been releasing newer models of the FZ over the year but a group of enthusiasts still prefer going back to the original V1 model. Now that we have used FZ V1s available in the market, many riders are wondering whether it’s still a good choice in 2025, given that parts availability, performance, and overall riding experience on the same is compared to newer models.
