Hey Vaibhav, can you tell me are there 1. any maintenance issues you're facing. I heard the silencer get rusty 2. Mileage you're getting now 3. Do you recommend buying the new fz25 BS6. I see the sales figures is so good, people go for Apache.

[@noobie3615]

@@prema428 bhai i am a apache user i can tell u one thing go for fz because the problem i am currently facing is that gear shifts are not so smooth but was shifting smoothly when it was new engine se ek harsh awaaz atha hai wo aapko khud mesoos hoga agar aap kise 1-2kms roung marke aoge toh and mileage is not good at all mera 2 service ho chuke hai fir bhi 30-32 max de rha hai and bike bahut bhaari bhi hai compare to fz u better go for fz

@@noobie3615 thanks a lot Bhai. Never know Apache has few issues. But 1.5 budget me this is the most affordable aur features bhi badiya hai.

[@anirbandasgupta2009]

@@prema428 The best thing of FZS25 is the way the weight is distributed, it feels better than even the current R15( only based on weight distribution). And the low and midrange torque is the main oomph.. The only con l find is the gear shift is slick but its hard. Moreover mileage is always 38 to 42 km/pl under mixed riding

[@Dr.StudRider007]

Bought my fzs fi v2.0 cyber green colour in september 2014.. It may look underpowered on paper, but trust me in real life it is a fun bike to ride. Have done so many trips with it and never got disappointed. The power to weight ratio is pretty good as it's a light motorcycle. And honestly the engine is a gem. I have maintained it properly and it still runs like a new bike with zero problems. I also have a R15 v2 but the fz engine is smoother.

[@sebastian_manuells]

How much average your getting?

[@Dr.StudRider007]

@@sebastian_manuells depends on where I ride it. In my locality it's very busy traffic, so I get between 40 to 45 kmpl (depends on various situations). But in highways if I maintain the speed around 80 kph, it returns an average of around 50kmpl

[@sebastian_manuells]

@@Dr.StudRider007 I'm also driving a ver 2.0 (non S) since 2016. I'm getting about 55 in city & 62 in highway. Maybe it's because I'm from a tier 2 city with lesser traffic. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.

The 1st gen FZ/FZ-16/FZS was true muscular. It had that grunt in it the torque master what a great drag it offered on acceleration. The fat tyre changed the trend and the huge tank just added the perfect head turner element, I mean it had driven crazy ever since its launch

However, you missed that FZ/FZ-S BS6 2020 (12.4 PS, 13.6 NM) and FZ/FZ-S BS6 2021 (12.2 PS, 13.4 NM) stay quite similar in looks but the 2021 version is an utter disappointment when actually driven on-road with re-mapped ECU and the modified exhaust note.

[@yash_kambli]

Now waiting for FZ 35, they should have launch this with bare minimum specs like it's young siblings but must have similar characteristics i.e strong low end m mid range punch which is very unlikely to see in its competitors. Air cooled engine, 5speed gearbox, 4valve and low compression ratio with a very broad torque curve would be great for commuting as well as highway cruising.

[@onelivingsoul2962]

And with this simple engine configuration,the cost would be affordable too. I would love to have Fz35 as Adventure catagory,it will smash the market if it ever launches
