It's good, but not a revolution. It feels pretty much the same as other 150 to 160 cc bikes I've ridden. It's a bit of a stretch to call it the "dream bike."

It does live up to the hype for me. It's right on the money as far as balance between performance and comfort for city riding. No regrets buying it.

Overrated, in my opinion. To be fair, it's pretty to look at, but better fuel efficiency was what I was after. The city use of my old Pulsar was just as good.

The bike is solid, but a "dream" is marketing fluff. Nothing more, nothing less, it does the job well.

As a daily commuter, it's pretty close to ideal. In fact, the digital console is actually useful and it nails city roads.

On longer rides the seat comfort could be improved, but it’s great for short trips. They’re not quite the all-rounder they make it out to be.

For city use the FZS V4 Deluxe nails it. They are low maintenance, easy to ride, and the LED lights are great for riding at night in bad lighting.

The "city slicker's dream" is pushing it, but it's a good bike. But some of these other options offer similar, if not better, features for urban riding.

I did test ride both the FZS V4 and the Apache RTR 160 4V. With a Yamaha there is definitely less vibration at higher speeds.

It's mostly for show. And it can be distracting, half the features I never use. Any day, give me a simple speedo and fuel gauge.
