Highway performance? | Yamaha FZ-S/X FAQ #5

  • Since we keep returning to the idea that the Yamaha is a sober, rather dull commuter that covers it bases, it must be decent in the city, right? Indeed it is. Riding through traffic is easy, gear changes aren't always needed to overtake things at city speeds... the experience is pleasant. However, the tuning for torque, plus the smaller engine size really make the Yamaha work for it on the highway. We tended to cruise no faster than 80kmph -- it felt strained afterwards starting with peg vibration past about 6,000rpm. 80 is plenty, but add luggage and a pillion and cruising speeds will drop, and overtaking will be harder. So we'd say you can tour on it -- you can tour on anything, really -- but don't buy the FZ with the intention of touring. The faster 160s and 200s make noticeably better touring platforms.

      Almost all the way there Sandesh. What you'll miss on the 125 is the ability to overtake things and it's offers a considerable safety margin when you can overtake things, as opposed to being overtaken a lot
