✅ Pros & Cons

Verdict

The Yamaha FZ‑X is a stylish urban commuter with neo‑retro flair, packed with modern tech like Bluetooth connectivity and traction control. It offers a comfortable ride, good fuel efficiency, and standout design—but it’s not the fastest in its class and some parts could feel more premium. If you’re craving standout looks, daily comfort, and efficient urban commuting, it’s a solid pick. But if you prefer raw performance, something like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V might offer more punch.

👉 Ideal for: city riders who value style, comfort, fuel efficiency, and smart features over outright speed.
