I bought Fz-16 version 2.0 on 16th August 2014. I tested my top speed in October it was 118 kmph. But after seasoning my bike a week ago I was rechecking my bike's top speed now it has increased like this...
On Doubles (Rider + 1)= 113 kmph
On singes (Only Rider)= 125 kmph
One of my closest friends have got Gixxer & after riding both the bikes I'd say,Gixxer is powerful but I feel in the turns & corners, my bike is on a different level.
The top speed has increased after service and run-in, we will also try to check it on a bike which has done more kms.
The FZ V2 tops out early and one needs a big stretch to get to the top speed. That said, there is also some speedo-error.
The Yamaha FZ is still the best in dynamics but the Gixxer is also quite accomplished.
What mileage are you getting?
MotorBeam It depends how i ride. I mean once i had hurry big time.. like i covered around 19kms (or may be a more) in 14 minutes. In that case i get around 30.. but normally its efficient. It gives 37 to 39. :) I'm happy with that.
Gourab Roy That's decent mileage but still quite low for a 150cc, no?
MotorBeam yeap u R damn r8.. y only 37/39 ? in a 150CC ?? Atleast it should be more than 45+
Adhikya, we are talking about city mileage as these bikes are mostly used in the city.
Sreenath, we will go with the FZ.
I have one!
Unicon is best bike I love honda unicon
2 years with gixxer..still running smooth
I love yamaha fz fi v2
Girish, we would suggest the Gixxer.
thanq! :)
girish raj which one did you decide on?
i guess gixxer.... my dad s focusing on cb unicorn .... i dont knoe wat to do!!
girish raj You should convince him as the Gixxer is better.
yea i did it!
mostly by next week i wil hav it!
Thanq !
Thank you so much for listening and doing a comparison review so soon.Thanks keep up the good work
Thanks for the appreciation.
Unicorn is best in that segment at so many levels, end of discussion.
Honda is a honda
Hardik, Honda is yet to ship the Hornet, once they do, we will review it.
P.S. - please enable comment replies.
+MotorBeam Eargerly waiting! I was looking for a bike having both Sporty look as well as good pillion comfort and I think Honda Hornet 160r is the only one in this segment.
+MotorBeam What is the seat height of the Unicorn 160 or upcoming Hornet 160r. I'm 5'5. Will it be comfortable for me? Please Help.
should I wait for hornet or go for unicorn.
+Mohd Aquib cb hornet looks good so wait
MotorBeam waiting for your comparo between FZ and hornet
It makes me proud as a owner of suzuki gixxer.😊👍😁😎
How much mileage it is giving
I own a GIXXER SF..... very nice bike it is..... much better than my other two R1.5 & BULLET 350.....
Hasan Qureshi, looks are subjective but 8 out of 10 people will tell you the Gixxer looks better than the FZ.
I am talking about fzs 2.0 not fz and I asked all of my friends and internet gixxer has more power and is a cheaper and better deal but every one told that fzs has got a plus at looks
Hasan Qureshi as we said before, looks are subjective.
Looks, Braking, Fuel efficiency and Riding in off road is better than gixxer. Fzs v2 is great. Thanks to Yamaha.👌
+MotorBeam fz give more comfort
its totally wrong gixxer. is better than fz v2. in off road awell as in on road bro,,,, but i have fz v2 its my blunt mistake.....
Talking about Gixer sf , i personally feel that gixer naked version is better than gixer sf as it cost Rs.14000/- more....if it met with a crash it will be costlier , as there is no provision for leg guard ...it may be look more sportier becoz of full fairing as people are crazy for full fairing body ....but at the end of the day, its better to buy naked version of Gixer.....
Rudraraju, around Rs. 87,000/-
Moterbeam i asked i quetion i want to buy a long duration bike.. Jisme jyada problem naa aaye.. Or engine performance waisi hi bani rahe.. In 3 me kon c bike hai wo
definitely unicorn 160 is my pick among the three. I will tell you why. Its the fastest bike among the three. Its the Quickest bike among the three. Yet, its the best when it comes to mileage too. That just shows how advanced is the Honda technology. And please, i don't think unicorn 160 is any bad at style!!! It looks so cool to me. Ofcourse it is very slightly a bit commuterish with design like there is no split seats and all, but it is still a handsome bike in its way. But that is only because Honda focused on the ride comfort for a long journey along with the power of a sporty bike. If the performance is highest among the three, there is no point in calling it a commuter. And definitely [MoreRideComfort+Power] is better than [LessRideComfort+Power]..!! Isn't it? And if you want a bike that is "built to last" then Honda is always my only choice.
Honda is the fastest because it has the smallest tyres of the trio and witll smaller tyres, there is less contact patch resulting in low rolling resistance and faster acceleration.
cool new world Your opinion is mind blowing dude, I've always ride Honda motorcycle for it's comfort.
Here in Bangladesh the gixxer has become the national bike. It is the .ist popular bike aming the youth
Akash Thele - 40-45 km/l.
Very nice video boss, I like that u are not playing game with viewers, tells clearly about ur choice and also makes a very gud comparison in between all 3
Go for Yamaha Fz Midship
It's durable
& It's more safer
It's riding comfort s really awsom
I also ride gixer.. but Felt like poor built quality
Thejus uchu h
gixxer mileage what
Only Noobs ride Yamaha
Pankaj Hembrom Suzuki fanboy spotted
That's real and bitter truth that you'll always see squids and chapri riding on Yamaha
FZ was.....is......and will be LORD OF THE ROAD
Pankaj Hembrom I don't want to argue with stupid like you , #blindsuzukifanboy
Pankaj Hembrom Have you ever heard of YZF R1 ? That's Yamaha !

nice! your reviews are getting better by the day!!
Thanks a ton.
Thanks to all detailed comparison.Even minute and subtle differences have pointed out.
+Visakh V thanks for appreciation.
fz give more comfort...fz get more looks than other
Azad Anil Mithe Kemon aso
Old comment but gotta say, try going more than 30 km on the fz and say if it is comfortable..
I own one and trust me it's one of the least comfortable bikes I've ever rode on when it comes to long distance riding
Suzuki Gixxer best
Hi! I'm 6'2 feet tall! need a commuter bike with good engine performance which should have pillion comfort! need your suggestion and recomendation
+duvarakrish wait for the upcoming Hornet.
Thank for d vdo...and detail explanation. Dis vdo help me really to choose a bike in 150cc range.
I think Fz-s v2 is winner .......
Naeem Prodhan winner in what way?
Yahama boss
it is winner ofcourse see the selling chart to find out in wat way
ajay mg selling price doesn't define the winner, the performance does
Fz best
I support fz and it is my god which saves ma life every day love u Yamaha fzzzzzzzz 😘
Yamaha fan spotted.
yes u can find billions
MotorBeam suzuki fan spotted
MotorBeam lol haha...this fanboys are irritating
motor beam...get your thoughts clear.....Yamaha is better than Suzuki and Hornet
Gixxer has the best exhaust note and look
Super like to your comparo. I am a regular to watch ur reviews. I m planning for a new bike. I ride a pulsar 150 dsti since 2009. The front seems to be heavy so city ride is kind of stressful.
1. Can u guys suggest me if the gixxer or fz v2 have such ride quality?
2. And i am not so tall guy so which one would be more comfortable?
Thank you.
Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks for the kind words.
The Gixxer is really comfortable, more than the FZ which we found a bit stiff.
Both these bikes suit tall riders.
MotorBeam it might be a bit odd question, but have you compared the older FZ with the Gixxer/FZ FI version? what is your thought on it?
Is it a good idea to go for FZ carburetor version now? I have never ride on a Gixxer/FZ FI before, but found FZ v1.0 to be very comfortable. If you had ride all 3, you must have a good idea about it.
Bhai tu kuch bhi bol Honda Unicorn is No. 1
Looks like you're paid for gixxer. At the end fzs has got the best looks
Hasan Qureshi huh dumbs
your reviews r very good with background sound , your video s are nice to watch, keep it up
+Ismail Zarina thanks for the appreciation.
Gixxer looks nice .. Especially the front portion till the muscular tank , but the other half is like bicycle except for the broad tyre copied from FZ . As a package does not look muscular . I feel - not that great looks as compared to Yamaha FZ ver 2 . Seems you pay 6 K less for the missing body behind compared to FZ ???
Raghavendra Tambde the styling does grow on you although they have taken a lot of inspiration from Yamaha.
yamaha fz is so beautiful and comfortable than other bikes love you yamaha
Yamaha fz-S v2 is very stylish
You own one?
No,
But INSHALLAH
I WILL
Even After 2 years, this review looks good, I like the presentation of Motobeam and powerdrift, both give good Reviews to make right decision...
Thank you, have you seen our latest videos?
Thank you for the subtitles!
Yamaha fzs premium quality. :)
Yes yamaha.
Best ride quality. 👍
Suzuki gixxer is best among all three bikes in terms of riding quality.it has the non-or minimum vibrating engine compared to other two...
I hd takn test drives of all three bikes.
All the three bikes have good engines, after all these are Japanese powertrains we are talking about.
top speed, acceleration, mileage, refinement are the area where honda unicorn 160 beats gixxer. It is a better overall package than gixxer. Ofcourse gixxer looks more sporty from the side view, but thats not the only factor everyone goes for. unicorn 160 looks aggressive too. And personally i dont like the headlamp design of gixxer at all. Very ordinary unattractive for rest of the bike. But unicorn 160 is a no-nonsense bike and it is made like that. A bike that gives the performance of a sporty bike and comfort of a commuter. Clear winner here.
cool new world we never said Unicorn is not a good bike, it is but for the most of us, the Gixxer is the best because it has the best mix of the Unicorn 160 and FZ at an attractive price.
MotorBeam Ya :) the review was unbiased and well said considering all factors. But what I meant was, the trust that we have with the Honda brand is just immense. And Its just i dont find anything particularly that big in Gixxer which sets it apart from unicorn that could make me go for this relatively new contender against the proven Honda unicorn. Even the first gen unicorn was a breeze to drive. The way it builds up power is amazing. And as you said in the review, if the new unicorn is much better than the old, then there is no turning back from this bike. It just feels like a proven bike.
cool new world proven bike yes but do you think Suzuki and Yamaha need to prove anything, they are known for offering highly reliable products the world-over. If you were talking about a non-Japanese bike, the argument would hold true. Also the FZ has been on sale since a long time and has proven itself, it sells more than all Honda 150cc bikes combined.
gixxer is good bike
I always travelled from bangalore to vellore - 250km with my Yamaha FZ i love the road to drive
tell me I'm buy gixxer is best or fzv2 ok
Suzuki Gixxer.
My Yamaha FZ V2 is giving 53km/ltr mileage... fzs is best option among Honda Unicorn 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer vs Yamaha FZ V2
Kushal Waghmare no doubt it's the mileage king among the three bikes here.
Fz V2 hi hai ya splender ...;) 45 is ok but 53 is a big joke for 150cc bike
Hi Faisal.. I was booked a new unicorn 160 recently. And delivery will be on next month. I want to use this for office use (45 km daily) and personal use (ride with wife and child). I've confused now that which will I prefer to select. Gixxer or unicorn ? I know the ergonomics of gixxer is not good for a family man (like travel with aged people) and mileage. After all, gixxer is a good package. In this situation, I think Unicorn is better option for me. But I love the design of Gixxer.
Yes, the CB Unicorn 160 is the better bet for you.
Thanks faisal :)
***** most welcome ;-)
In Kerala, price for CBS version around 91k and std is 85k without extra fitting (like number plates... etc) :)
***** CBS is expensive but the added safety it offers makes it worth it.
character wise ...trigger is supposed to compete here ....but good unbiased review ....but should have a little professional video touches.
Ninad Ganore we will look into the touches next time around.CB Unicorn 160 is likely to replace Trigger in the long term.
I own a gixxer and it gives me 59kmpl in hyderabad traffic...not sure how u got 46kmpl...my bike has only one service finished
sai kiran reddy what speed do you ride at?
MotorBeam i mostly drive in 3500 to 4500 RPM range and occasionally go over 4500 just to over take. I don't rev my bike too hard..i've tested it twice and it gives me consistent milage of 59-60kmpl.
sai kiran reddy you are riding very sanely so the mileage will be good ;-)
all these cocky bikes gixxer , fz v2 will look better than unicorn 160 now but after 3 years the unicorn will perform the same but gixxer and fz v2 will loose on power and mileage and then unicorn buyers would be happy and gixxer and fz v2 buyers would be like who cares sell this for 45k lose and get another cocky bike for 1lakh and spend money
how can you say that a bike like fzs-fi v2 will lose power and mileage after 3 yrs? do you even consider the fact it has closed loop fuel injection?
he is talking about yamaha fz seriosly LOL
He says becoz he dont knw thts why.and he even dont knw wat is fuel injection technology nor he dont knw Yamaha has more resale value than any other brand in 150cc bikes
KNOWLEDGE-LESS IS NOT A CRIME HE IS SO LETS LEAVE HIM GUYS
disregard speed and performance, handling and stability is the priority, gixxer or fz fi?
Gixxer.
Renard Ryan..
There
what will you recommend in terms of comfort and mileage
gixxer or unicorn?
is there any drawbacks for gixxer?
Unicorn.
now Honda Launched Hornet .....
But I think Yamaha FZ is Really Best Among Three(i.e FZ,Hornet,Gixxer)
Nope, FZ is slow.
motorbeam...FZ is slow really...i went to 111km/hr without Aerodyanamics,Full Accelerator and Vibration
MotorBeam slow doesn't mean it is not worth it😂.
After 2 or 3 years only Honda and Yamaha will stay in a good condition.
FZ v2.0 is best and winner
+Sachin Patni no it's not.
+MotorBeam pulling, milege, and best sound my gixxer
Only Noobs ride Yamaha
Julius Nadar, Its only a prejudice. It was OK in case of 1st or 2nd gen Unicorn. Honda has failed both in marketing and technically in case of Twister, Dazzler, new generation Unicorn. All of the new generation Unicorn owners I have met is complaining about dark thick smoke from the exhaust within the warranty period. That's why Honda switched to 160. None of the Suzuki owners complained about such problems. The Suzuki is having less resale value not because of durability but only due to market problems. But, The Gixxer is trending among youths and it will certainly get better resale value in its segment.
***** wait for the new Honda CB Hornet.
Nice video keep up the good work and please review the pulsar 200 ss when it launches...
Hello...
I am sure you people have taken some under table money to promote gixxer here, or I can bet that the FZs v2 is the best bike in 150 cc seg in India now!!!
Amit Gaur people like you only know to blame people rather than getting on the road and riding it. First ride a Gixxer and then say it's better than the FZ.
I have ridden its bull shit
which bick is best gixxer or fzv2
Gixxer.
MotorBeam thank you
fz best
A question to the experts. Out of three the best posture for long drive is Honda unicorn (as per my knowledge). Like relaxed, no back pain causing n more.
Is it true? How far the other two rivals meet this.
I was riding pulsar 150 DTSi till now. I feel a lot of back pain after riding it for 7 years. I want u to suggest a good bike. I know everybody suggests Honda unicorn. But my likes r for Gixxer.
So tell me the riding posture of all three.
Unicorn
@gixxer only the seat which most people don't like in your bike if u make it more comfortable for Pelion also specially for Indian ladies than this bike will be in everyone choise as mileage is good. Hope you care.👍
mileage on gixxer is 58 bro
adhikya ch lol
58/ltr? r u damn sure?
+Car and bike lover mera bi 58 milthahe
Reserve to Reserve method medium Speed, correct gear shift
Yes mujhe Apache 160 55 deta to ye to kamzor hai Apache se
we would suggest tha gixxer
i have the blue gixxer and its is the best 150 cc bike
...n m getting 55kmpl ...power torque styling sound exhaust all in one is in gixxer...
Thanks for the review. Road you guys are on looks pretty fun for a motor cycle ride. Where is this at?
sujanpoudel this is in Maharashtra, India.
You people are saying yamaha is stiff ha ha ha ha have you gona mad or what ha ha ha I can't believe it.. Gixxer is a big FLOP and a cheap copy of yamaha fzs.
Amit Gaur have you ridden the Gixxer, the way you are talking, I think not.
Gixxer is smooth Amit, its a good bike, the styling seems a bit cheesy though. The FZ has some class, in terms of finish and styling.
yashul sharma but FZ is quite slow in front of the Gixxer.
but not a major difference, hardly 1 or 2 bhp. i like the black Gixxer, saw it today,
Gixxer, FZ, Duke, Impulse were my choices, ended up with a Duke
Required comparison review Honda Hornet 160r Vs Suzuki Gixxer Vs Yamaha Fz V2.
+Swapnil Prabhu we shall but not with the FZ.
how does thin Tyre helps in getting better mileage ?
Less rolling resistance.
Even R1 spido meter also kept simple but Yamaha owners know about durability
you have tried hard and have succeed in showing review to us. Thanks a lot. i have got a lot of answer from this video. again thanks for this hard working.. :D
Muzahid Zaman you are most welcome. Thanks for the appreciation.
Which one is more smooth while 80 kmph or above between Gixxy and 160 or even fz
Good review guys! Keep it up..
Thanks ;-)
FZ S is the most beautiful looking bike. Instead of FZ 25 I like the look of FZ S more.
Hi MotorBeam, Can you include Honda Trigger also to this comparision? I think it is also close to the competition. Would you suggest here?
animesh choudhury Trigger is going as the CB Hornet is replacing it.
u guys rocked the floor!
All 3 of them are ma favs...still the shootout was superb, and to the point! :)
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Choose one favorite out of the three and let us know.
MotorBeam
I chose gixxer, more than a month before, but that's when I came across RE350, and fell in love with
Boban P. Raj RE costs double ;p
Waiting period is all hogwash, try another dealer.
MotorBeam, I tried a couple of dealers, and this was the one which offered the least waiting period; others was going up to 8-9 months.
And yea, RE costs double. But I liked the classic style and ride. Gixxer on the other side, is more youthful, and agile. Still m in a lot of confusion regarding the same, ie; to go for classic or modern! :D hehe
Boban P. Raj if you have the budget, get the RE.
***** I have Unicorn 150 (2008) and it have issues like weak grip on corners due to tall build and unfocused centre of gravity.
Also - Cold start in the morning (north India) it sucks. Please let me know if Unicorn 160 have cold start issues and weak grip on sharp cuts wich make u feel u gonna slip the rear tyre.
Krishan Dhanda nope, such issues aren't there on the Unicorn 160.
The Gixxer gets a "First in Segment" gear shift indicator and shift light you say. The GS150R has had them since 2008. GS Thug Life :) Appreciate this comparo MotorBeam!
Thanks buddy but the Gixxer and GS150R aren't in the same segment.
Heh heh a micro segment within the 150s eh, okay if you say so :P
I am a gixxer owner for last 3 months , getting milage of 59kmpl, maximum speed I got ridden 110kmph, the only problem I felt with gixxer is the pillion. I respect Fz for its best performance on road. Unicorn is not at all a good choice first start of a day pulling power etc are crap.
thank you sir for suggestions about Gixxee
Which bike I should go for ?
Mujhe daily commuter ke hisab se bike chahiye....
FZ kicker????
i have ridden all these three n i dont like all of them...but in terms of looks only,i prefer zixxer to other two bikes..2010 model fzs is the best..i still own it(fzs fazer-2010),its mielege is 35km/l in city ...power is also awesome...but the only thing i dont like abt is its style which doesnt look much preetier...but i am satisfied due its performance
watching it in 2021....where GIXXER is the most expenive bike...and unicorn 160 has vanished. As far as the the BS6 norms kicked in a 125cc bikes cost more than 160cc bikes of BS4 era....WTHell
I'd love to see a shootout with CB Hornet 160R
+Siva Ram once it comes, we shall do it.
between gixxer and unicorn 160 which would u suggest me to by .... i am talking regarding mileage, performance and looks.
which has better looks, mileage,and power
+aniket jadhav best look - Gixxer, mileage - FZ, power - Unicorn.
I took ride on fz and gixxer both... fz riding was really smooth... i loved it. and gonna buy it.
Please upload a review video on Bajaj Avenger 220 2015. And if possible also make comparison on similar prices bikes.
Shravya Soni we are waiting for the new Avenger to come.
Give preference to our Indian bikes first Suzuki
I am planning to buy my first bike & new learner. please suggest me which bike to prefer.. Considering resale value, Company brand, Milage, Bike design.
Fz
Thanks what I also noticed is two wheeler companies stopped heat treatment of their chassis like you have RX100 or HH CD100
+Prasad Hlyalkar for cost reasons.
would you be kind enough to let us know breaking no,bite and feel of breaks...thank you,which is better in breaking?break lever feel and play of each bike..
+goslowgolong rr among these bikes, it's the Unicorn 160.
Fz or Unicorn best for traffic ride... Unicorn has the smaller rubber which is a disadvantage when comes to stability and comfort ,rgt???
Each n every question is answered here....Let me ask one😉
I am too confused between Fz v2 and Gixxer 150...my priority is mileage...Which one should I opt?
FZ V2.
+motorbeam,bhai sahab achha laga aap bahut logon ka doubt clear kar rahe ho aur jawab de rahe ho.Main 35 saal ka office going aadmi hoon.Mujhe na style chahiye na speed.Mujhe chahiye comfort rider aur pallion dono keliye,mileage chahiye.Aur jhanjhat nahi chahiye.Low maintenance wali chahiye.Eagerly waiting for your suggestion.
And for the short riders, pillion comfort in daily commute which is going to be the best out of fz v2, trigger, or the gixxer.
Unicorn has best pillion comfort. All bikes are suited to short riders. Get the Gixxer though.
Thank u so much for your advice... will definitely let u know once i buy the new one... again thx u so much... cheers
Debanjan Ghosh most welcome.
A commuter bike compared with two sporty looking bikes, that's beauty of Unicorn 160 :D
But it doesn't sell in good numbers.
sir which is the Good bike for milage,,,,in between Honda unicorn 150 and Yamaha fzs fi
Honda cb unicorn 160 is best bike...
I m getting 55 plus mileage on fz , on highway and city mix riding with eco mode on 70 % times
+Ismail Zarina that is awesome mileage.
