Most preferred, Yamaha FZ FI V3?

The Yamaha FZ FI V3 is a perfect bike for city commute. The ergonomics are good, so is the 149cc engine. It's torquey, is refined and returns decent mileage. Plus, all these are backed up by Yamaha reliability. The Blue Core concept-powered 149 cc engine of the new FZ-FI is now equipped with a "Side stand engine cutoff switch" and a Bluetooth-enabled "Yamaha Motorcycle Connect X".

Design

An upright, comfortable riding stance complements the two-level seat's superb fit and cushioning. For a stable ride and comfort for the rider and pillion rider, the cushioning material has the right amount of stiffness combined with an excellent fit in the seat material. The pillion seat is 5 mm thicker for improved comfort and 26 mm broader at the hip area. With minimal unevenness, the new LED headlamp offers outstanding visibility over a large range. It makes use of separate modules for the high and low beams as well as a reflector with optimal light projection.
