Bajaj Avenger Street 160 vs Yamaha FZS-FI V3

Question 1

Q. Confused between, FS-Z Fi V3 and MT-15?

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their forte. In nearly every aspect, except maybe ergonomics and braking, the Yamaha FZS-FI v3.0 fails to impress. While its motor offers better fuel efficiency compared to the previous-gen model, it lacks grunt. If you have around Rs 1 lakh to invest, you're better off with say a TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 or the Suzuki Gixxer. Whereas, the Yamaha MT 15 BS6 is more than just the R15 v3 sans fairing. The naked looks sharp is light and can be a hoot to commute. However, the compact riding posture might be a bit too tight for large riders. What is also disheartening is the poor switchgear and build quality as well as the lack of dual-channel ABS. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 2

Q. Which is the better option for city ride and sometimes 100 km tour in long-distance bajaj avenger 160 or Yamaha fzx?

Answer

The lazy rake angle and the ridiculously long wheelbase of 1480mm might lead you to believe that the Avenger would have a very vague feeling front end and wouldn’t be a nimble handler. But that really isn’t the case. While it wouldn’t be our first choice for some corner-carving action, the front does feel stable enough through the bends. And it turns rather quickly too. But this agility is a bigger boon in the city, where darting through traffic feels easy enough - a good thing as the Avenger 160 is really more of an urban cruiser than an out-and-out highway tourer. On the other hand, if we talk about FZ-X, compared to the regular FZ-FI, the FZ-X’s handlebars are taller and pulled closer to the rider, and the footpegs have been moved quite a bit forwards. So you end up sitting in a very commuters stance. Combine that with the very soft seat and you’re bound to have a back and butt ache if you spend a long time in the saddle. Then there’s the highway performance. You’ll only be able to maintain speeds of about 80-85kmph comfortably on the highway. Anything faster than that makes the bike feel rather strained. And because of this, highway efficiency, while fairly ok at 48.67kmpl, takes a bit of a hit compared to city efficiency. For a better understanding of performance and riding comfort, we would suggest you take a test ride.

Question 3

Q. Is Avenger 220 Street worth the purchase for touring as there would be a pillion with me or Avenger 180 or 160 would be a better choice to go with? Planning to purchase in 2022.

Answer

As per your requirements, Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 could prove to be a good option. The seat is cushioned well and wide enough for the comfort of the rider. However, the same can out be said about the pillion seat. What's more, the Cruise 220’s handlebars are relatively taller and narrower making it slightly difficult to guide around tight bends. Furthermore, the Bajaj Avenger 180 is no longer available for sale in the market. As for the Avenger Street 160, it offers a smooth engine, comfortable ride quality and reassuring braking prowess. The Avenger Street 160 simply proves that there indeed can be a replacement for displacement. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.

Question 4

Q. Apache RTR 1604v 2021 & FZ-S FI V3 Bluetooth model. which one is best suggest me?

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. In nearly every aspect, except maybe ergonomics and braking, the Yamaha FZS-FI v3.0 fails to impress. While its motor offers better fuel efficiency compared to the previous-gen model, it lacks grunt. If you have around Rs 1 lakh to invest, you're better off with say a TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS 160, or the Suzuki Gixxer. Yamaha FZS-FI V3 is powered by a 149 cc engine. This FZS-FI V3 engine generates a power of 12.4 PS @ 7250 rpm and a torque of 13.3 Nm @ 5500 rpm. The claimed mileage of FZS-FI V3 is 55.42 kmpl. On the other hand, The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V has been the benchmark when it comes to 160cc motorcycles. With the BS6-compliant iteration, TVS has made sure it is still as sprightly, with the '21 update making it the most powerful bike in the 160cc sporty commuter class. The overall package and reasonable pricing make it a true value-for-money motorcycle in its segment. TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is powered by a 159.7 cc engine. This Apache 160 4V engine generates a power of 17.63 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 14.73 Nm @ 7250 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 5

Q. Which edition of FZs-FI V3 bike is good?

Answer

Each and every edition of FZs is pretty good

Answer

Yamaha FZS-Fi comes in just one variant and is priced at Rs 1,07,200. It however gets special Dark Knight and Vintage Edition color variants that costs Rs 1,08,700 and Rs 1,10,700. (All prices, ex-showroom Delhi). In terms of features, the FZS-Fi comes with single-channel ABS as standard and chunky tires. The bike's negative LCD instrument console displays information like a fuel gauge, odometer, two trip meters, F trip, and a clock amongst others. There’s also an ECO indicator that guides riders with throttle modulation to help extract more fuel efficiency from the engine. Vintage Edition comes in a British Racing Green color with a tan brown single-piece seat. Which is an additional Rs 2,000 over the premium Darknight color. The FZ-S Fi gets the same set of features as the Darknight trim. It comes equipped with the Yamaha Connect X Bluetooth module that allows you to monitor your bike’s activities as well as remotely lock it. The 2021 FZS FI V3.0 was updated with the smartphone connectivity that came as standard across all the color variants.

Q. FZ-FI V3 or FZS-FI V3. Which is better?

Answer
