Yamaha’s FZ-S has been a part of our long-term fleet for a few months now. Many staffers have taken a liking to the capable streetbike, so it’s proven tough to hop onto the saddle of this bike. However, I somehow managed to exchange keys with a colleague one night, and found myself heading out for a ride to Lonavala the very next day.
The FZ-S has been in production for quite a while, scripting a success story for Yamaha ever since. Yamaha has refreshed this motorcycle with cosmetic upgrades in time, but without losing any of its muscular design philosophy. Under the FZ-S’s minute, blacked-out wind deflector sits a dinky, hard-to-read digital console. Close by sits the front number-plate, making for an eyesore on what is otherwise such a well-styled motorcycle. Our long-term bike came in black and orange, with fiery tank decals that help this Yamaha look good at night. The FZ-S has a knack of grabbing attention, and seldom fails to do so.
Back to my early morning ride as I hurtled out of Pune beating traffic and enjoying the capable FZ-S. Before getting any more adventurous, I tanked up the bike to ensure I was now all primed and ready for uninterrupted fun. The pit stop had me wondering why Yamaha did not design a hinge for the fuel filler cap, a simple convenience which should not have been missed. After thumbing the FZ-S back to life,I was on my way once again.
