I think hero motocop bike designers have joined yamaha group they are very expert to make a ugly design.We all are waiting for xsr they gave us this shit.FZX is looking like a bicycle with an XSR tank.Even fesino old model was very much pretty now it looks like a duck🤣
Remembering those days when in the market of Rx-100 and Rx-135, there came a beast and head turner - the mighty Yamaha RXZ. That era has returned with the name of FZX. I just wish it was the XSR under the hood. Beautiful. :')
I've been riding this bike for over a year now, and I have to say, it's flawless. While the engine specs might not seem impressive on paper, the looks and the attention it gets on the road are outstanding. The riding position is incredibly comfortable, and it delivers beyond expectations.
Still love this bike for its looks, it’s better looking than all the FZ models, hands down. It’s a modified and good looking fz for me. Cost wise might be a little higher but up to the buyer, nobody’s forcing! For me it’s good.
This bike somewhat has a similar silhouette of bajaj v15 imo... Also if yamaha really listens to probable customers they should concentrate into higher cc segments (read 250cc and above) more aggressively. For a start they can easily develop an xpulse challenger using their fz250 engine. They have hell lot of dual purpose 250s present internationally. XTZ250 is an example. Only God knows who plans their strategies.
the indian market is entirely different from other contries. its still a developing country. i don't know why every one complains about maruti suzuki for cars and honda , yamaha, suzuki for bikes, when they launch budget oriented products. simply stupid. Indians deserves maruti suzuki for affordable cars. if some one want a premium and quality products there are plenty of options available from number of brands. same goes here. for yamaha mt15 is not selling much and giving the expected sales simply because of the price. if they introduce the XSR with R15 engine and frame the price would be as much as MT15. i personally feel like this is the right product for mass market even if not giving higher sales figures. indian mass market is now on 150cc. even for fz250, gixxer 250 people choose ktms and ready to pay more.. price is the biggest concern for people as well as the manufacturers. thats why i always like maruti suzuki for their affordable products.
Why did Yamaha even make this motorcycle? Guys looking forward for the xsr are sorely disappointed. And did the designers leave the work till they reached the rear end!? 😅
I have been riding the awesome SS125 for the last 9 years. If at all Yamaha is listening - people would rather welcome a 150cc or 200cc and 14/15 bhp version of the Gladiator/SS125/Enticer. And please introduce 'retro' motorcycles with an analogue meter. 3-4 essential information is all what one needs unless he is going to space!
Despite all the negative things about it i am in love with that metallic blue colored one since i first saw it. Geuss yamaha should have used the 250cc engine powering the fz25. Then it could have made sense
Nowadays indian manufacturers like TVS & Bajaj are making price worthy machines, great designs and energetic performance which the japnese manufacturers like Honda & Yamaha fail to offer at a hefty price tag when compared to them..
Don't understand why Yamaha made such awkward design with this much little power . But with Rishad in front of camera anything that pops up as notification is worth seeing .
This bike isnt much popular. But i think in this range, a retro lookong bike, with a decent low and mid range performance is pretty awesome. Only if the price would have been a bit lower, this bike could have ruled this segment
Hi, Autocar India and Mr. Rishad Mody , a good looking bike & a good attempt by Yamaha India. Retro style bikes are today's trend. But unfortunately FZ-X has some flaws , it has LED headlight & taillight then how they put conventional bulbs on turn indicators, secondly if this bike to be successful, then Yamaha India has to put a bigger displacement engine, say upto 250cc or above. Retro bike suppose to be butch, just as Royal Enfield as buyers always prefer middle weight retro bikes. I hope Yamaha India will listen to it and proceed accordingly, wish them Good Luck.
Would rather buy FZ-S over this for 3 main reasons: 1) Larger Fuel tank 2) Design (subjective) 3) ~10k cheaper Those extra 10k would fetch a better helmet / riding gear.✌️
what's the point not bringing XSR....no one would regret buying it.... even though it may had a bit Higher price tag....still though it wouldn't exceed r15's pricing so y not XSR YAMAHA INDIA....it would give good competition in retro category..🥺😭
Why is this company not bring back rx 100 with 4 stroke engine. Mahindra is on Java RE also made development and run on bullet Honda also bought retro look byk In this era everyone is liking retro things why can’t they just try once
This is a thoughtful product from Yamaha. There was no retro type bike in this price and fuel economy bracket, petrol is 100/- litre. Will solve the purpose of daily commuting and occasional weekend rides. Since it's Yamaha quality & durability will be there. Will be competing with avenger 160 & intruder 150. It's unfair to compare it with 2 lakh+, 190kg and 30kmpl bikes!
My brother wanted royal Enfield classic 350. But wn he saw n did test drive of yamaha fzx he changed his mind,he fell in love with it n booked that bike. Its having crazy look but u should have unique taste
Huge disappointment from Yamaha. Why the hell did they even bother to launch this bike? So they’re basically selling you an FZ. Guys, if you’re in India, you will only get cheap cut down version bikes while the rest of the world enjoys the better bikes.
Exactly, from poor service to cheap plastics, yamaha will get nothing here. And the stupid chairmen of yamaha motors india speaks about sales, is he trying to knock off this company from india? It feels just so.
I took it for a spin today and it was quite nice! I'm 5'10 and i could flat foot this thing quits barely. It's much bigger than the l photos make it seem!
Looks like more style less substance. The “bigger” fuel tank, the nice display but without gear indicator, and even though it’s based on the FZ it will most likely be more expensive and less practical…
Retro, Retro, Retro....... REALLY? the bike remains the same. Just an aftermarket body paint job that does not even look that good. Joke's on Yamaha if they think this is going to eat into REs sales or create a new segment.
The only reason I have booked YFZX is...........1. Its Yamaha and hence refined engine 2. Retro look 3. Comfort and easy to maneuver 4. Mileage 5. Commuter bike or city bike 6. Good for Family and I remember my first RX100. There are many videos of people riding high powered bikes and commenting on the YFZX as a low powered bike, I think its a good bike under the 150 segment and good for the ones who like to enjoy a comfy, smooth and a stable mid range speed. Great video!
Don't buy yamaha vehicles. Once vehicle is sold there ends the matter. They dont value customers time at all. I took my bike to service center and they say they cannot take it. Because, to get my bike serviced, I have to book a slot ahead. I mer one more customer who is struggling to book a slot online and running around. Returned without servicing. Planning to sell my Bike at the earliest. . People who cannot book a slot for some reason, stay away from yamaha. Pearl Yamaha should have some option for direct drop ins.
Dekhne main badiya Hai, but ride in a heavy traffic city areas then the mileage will be 20km/L don't expect more than that, in highway 35....very comfortable though, one of the best model in 150 cc category 👍 very well done
Even after twenty years post RX demise, Yamaha has failed to understand Indian market in four stroke era. Milage hungry and budget savy customers never visit Yamaha showroom. That isn't what you are known for. However, performance enthusiasts everytime wait eagerly for your every new model only to be disappointed at the end. First serve the customers who know you rather than chasing unknown ones. Make a brand image like KTM in new generation and then using that brand image you will also be able to sell your 100-150cc utility bikes for budget customers. Look at desi Bajaj, first they made their brand with Pulsar series and only thereafter were able to complete with Splendour in 100cc arena.
I am looking for a bike with refined, reliable and stable engine, low vibration, 50-55 mileage, comfortable riding position, good pickup, don't want to go beyond 80kmph(highway limit kerala), City+highway riding, Comfortable pillion for parents, with weekly 150 km travel, less than Rs.1.5 L, Littlebit retrolook. etc... Will the FZX be ok for me?
I just want to say don't judge a bike looks by its photo. My perception about this bike has totally changed since I saw this on road🔥🔥
how it is acording to your experience . Is is worthy to buy? please reply
Same happened with me also
Is it good or bad?
It is ugly both on road and photo.
@@xyan819 Never,
it looks good
This bike looks beautiful, many people won't understand it's beauty.
The concept of adding bloopers is actually good. It makes every video more fun to watch and interesting. Good job Autocar India team 👍
Autocar keeps getting better and better. Awestruck at the quality of presentation, and Rishaad's a treat to watch. Can't say about Yamaha India though
Yamaha FZ-X is one of the best-looking motorcycles in recent times that have a 150cc engine.
Combined the front of the fz and the back of the tvs xl. That's why called Fz - x
That's assertive thinking!
lol
The TVS Heavy Duty XL100 finally gets a worthy opponent, which is half as capable and costs thrice as much.
Kudos, Yamaha India 😂🤦♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True
Couldn't agree more 👏..
😂😂😂😂😂

The introduction of "behind the scenes" was a really good idea.
Go for a test drive and comment it, I really impressed with front design, rear also differently designed and no vibrations at any speed.
@@SumitBesraXOXO which was expected, could you pls tell
If Yamaha really listened to the customers, then they would never have launched this thing in India instead of xsr.
Satyam
haha, you are right.
Right
Coreect kya kooda h ye

Tbh, i like the looks...i don't know why everybody is like hating it...
I would have bought it
Bike looks are not proportionate, I WONDER WHAT THE DESIGNERS ARE UPTO
4k 60fps : XSR 155
144p : This abomination
Still love this bike for its looks, it’s better looking than all the FZ models, hands down. It’s a modified and good looking fz for me. Cost wise might be a little higher but up to the buyer, nobody’s forcing! For me it’s good.
It looks close to royal enfield Himalayan, I don’t know what all the fuss is about.
The fact that nobody even wants to comment about this bike says a lot 😂
I sat on FZX today. I must say that it has the most comfortable sitting posture.
The only problem of this bike is that it's just a modified FZ
SZ exhaust note
yes, that too in the ugliest way possible!
The rear half kinda looks like a TVS XL 100
Good review but hate this bike! Need the XSR 155! 😭
Great review. Sad bike. Yamaha should have brought in the costlier XSR 155 even if it meant placing it in the premium segment like the MT-15.
The rugged looks, wide seat, and metal body- all add up to a beautiful-looking bike. FZ-X is a hit!
This bike somewhat has a similar silhouette of bajaj v15 imo...

Even the xsr 125 would have been better than this crap 😭😭😭
absolutely, scrap this yamaha motor india, just go to hell.
From tail section it's look like TVS XL 😢😢
Why did Yamaha even make this motorcycle? Guys looking forward for the xsr are sorely disappointed. And did the designers leave the work till they reached the rear end!? 😅
Man, something is out of place on this motorcycle. I somehow feel that this was put together in a hurry!
I have been riding the awesome SS125 for the last 9 years. If at all Yamaha is listening - people would rather welcome a 150cc or 200cc and 14/15 bhp version of the Gladiator/SS125/Enticer.

Nobody gonna know how gold this bike is...
Only time will tell.
As long as the brand is Yamaha, no need to think twice. FZ-X is value for money.
Despite all the negative things about it i am in love with that metallic blue colored one since i first saw it. Geuss yamaha should have used the 250cc engine powering the fz25. Then it could have made sense
Is delayed XSR 155 due to flex fuel engine, if so when can Yamaha bring this FlexFuel Engine XSR 155 to India
Nowadays indian manufacturers like TVS & Bajaj are making price worthy machines, great designs and energetic performance which the japnese manufacturers like Honda & Yamaha fail to offer at a hefty price tag when compared to them..
I was planning to xchange my Royal Enfield classic 500 with xsr . That's ok.. now i am gonna keep my 500 with me.🙂
But I really miss the xsr155..
the rear wheel gap looks weird......
Don't understand why Yamaha made such awkward design with this much little power . But with Rishad in front of camera anything that pops up as notification is worth seeing .

I'd have liked 250cc to begin with. But I think Yamaha is targeting rather huge market with less starting price.
Akward is an understatement!! Proportions dont exist when you look at this!! A TOTAL missed opportunity!!
The rear 3 quarters remind me of the Hero Puch moped from the '90s..
Hi, Autocar India and Mr. Rishad Mody , a good looking bike & a good attempt by Yamaha India. Retro style bikes are today's trend.

Mettle body nd fzs me fiber body hai
Fz x pe charging point hai,metal important part pe hai,
So basically a disappointment...
Just bring the XSR 155 .... c'mon Yamaha.
Behind the scenes are a great addition
what's the point not bringing XSR....no one would regret buying it.... even though it may had a bit Higher price tag....still though it wouldn't exceed r15's pricing so y not XSR YAMAHA INDIA....it would give good competition in retro category..🥺😭
Why is this company not bring back rx 100 with 4 stroke engine.
Mahindra is on Java
RE also made development and run on bullet
Honda also bought retro look byk
In this era everyone is liking retro things why can’t they just try once
My RX-135, Five Speed ,2000 model is an Angel in Disguise!
Cheers! I want the front mudguard of this bike for my Rx too 😂
Yamaha FZ-X's suspension setup is great and comfortable for long rides
People, can we take a moment to appreciate that Autocar did not go grumpy while doing the review like the way we are after seeing the bike? 😌
That's why they're reviewer/journalist and we are enthusiast.
Yamaha never learns!
They offer weird bikes configurations in India:
Enticer in 125cc and this in 150cc!
Looks good, but why Yamaha itself doesn't get inspired by Rx 💯 and bring something similar
The 10 litres of fuel capacity, though not very bad when considered in isolation, is bummer when compared to the standard fzs.
This is a thoughtful product from Yamaha. There was no retro type bike in this price and fuel economy bracket, petrol is 100/- litre. Will solve the purpose of daily commuting and occasional weekend rides. Since it's Yamaha quality & durability will be there. Will be competing with avenger 160 & intruder 150. It's unfair to compare it with 2 lakh+, 190kg and 30kmpl bikes!
the R15 v3 engine/ xsr 155 gives more milage than this engine.
Anabolic steroid bodybuilder analogy was great 😂
If I wanted a Yamaha, I would rather pay a bit more and get the FZ25.
I was also waiting for this bike expecting R15 engine but now after price drop FZ25 looks a much better option.
Don't waste your money dude.jus go for unicorn 160 .it's fair better and class .u can use for minimum 20 years
@@gokulvijayan2867 what about
hornet 🤙
Fz25 is 🔥🔥🔥
obviously go for fz 25 that's worth every penny
Why Yamaha is doing this to Indian market? Why can't we get the XSR 155 for 1.40 lakhs with dual channel ABS? It's not interesting anymore.
My brother wanted royal Enfield classic 350. But wn he saw n did test drive of yamaha fzx he changed his mind,he fell in love with it n booked that bike. Its having crazy look but u should have unique taste
Even now I can't accept Fz - X

Should I buy this bike for my father ?

I'm 5'10 and i could flat foot this thing quits barely.
It's much bigger than the l photos make it seem!
Only feature i luved most ...... It will get that gps tracker which can get the location of bike on mobile app :)
When I first saw this bike in the road - I thought Bajaj Boxer was back.
What's happening to bikes nowdays? Its been soo long a good looking bike launched🤔
Exactly brother, I was about to go for hornet 160r but I was forced to buy fz bs6. The commuter segment motorcycles are getting f*****d up day by day.
Yamaha FZ-X Y-Connect Last parking position features is really helpful
If you want a practical Motorcycle and want to stand out from the crowd, buy Hero Xpulse 200 rather than FZ-X
I wasn't aware puncture proneness is considered practical these days
Will this FZ X be upgraded with Flex Fuel Engine by Sep2022
If it's just a city bike then Activa, much cheaper, is a better option 😁
Hey that's my town Dahanu ❤️ I am so glad that you guys shoot the whole video over here.. amazing 😍❤️
Damn. Was waiting for thia video 😍
It’s not that Yamaha didn’t listen. Our govt prolly didn’t let them unless they bring good deal to the table
So now honda highness seems like the best choice
Yamaha is surviving on R15 and FZ in India. They should bring adventure bike in 250 segment.
Why Indians are not affordable to buy actual XSR? YAMAHA U disappointed Us.....
Man, idk. But this kinda looks like tvs xl heavy duty from some angles, especially from the rear. And that's, not good.
Exactly bro..🤭😂🤣
This looks like a plastic copy of the XSR 155
Looks like more style less substance. The “bigger” fuel tank, the nice display but without gear indicator, and even though it’s based on the FZ it will most likely be more expensive and less practical…
Love from Goa ❤️
which location wad this test ride shot? you should share the same as helpful for bikers like me to explore the roads u test ride on.
Its actually a totally love or hate kind of motorcycle nothing besides than that
Oh boy! I waited for years and years for Yamaha to launch XSR 155 and we got this 😐
The FZ-X is a better option any day, considering the price point it comes at and the Indian road conditions.
please do w comparison between this and RTR 160 4v
Which is the best 150 Cc bike for beginners with good mileage,looks and maintenance with a beard shift indicator? Thank you
