Yamaha SZ 150

Yamaha has rolled out a new 150 cc bike called SZ'

. Aimed clearly at performance commuters (defined by Bajaj), SZ 150 sits below FZ-16 and is intended to expand the Yamaha's market share in the 150cc segment. Also the new SZ is fills the gap between Yamaha Gladiator ( or SS 125) and Yamaha FZ. We had a first ride the bike and at the sidelines of the launch. Our first impression on SZ follows

Before going into the review of the SZ / SZ-X, fit into a commuter shoe. SZ customers doesn't expect FZ 16 but they want a better Gladiator 125cc. Let's keep this in our mind and review the bike. SZ-X with its taller stance may not be beauty peagent or monster but it has a pleasant look. SZ and SZ-X got styling cues from FZ16 too. The clear lens large headlamp has an integrated pilot lamp (single) at the lower end. The black front cowl in SZ is awkward but SZ-X see-thru cowl is good. Beneath the visor lies the instrumentation panel which houses a speedometer and fuel gauge. The design is very simple and nothing to boast about. Yamaha SZ

The high handlebar and standard foot rest makes up for commuter-ish ride. The heel and toe gear lever completes the set-up. Yamaha SZ and SZ-X features conventional suspension set-up telescopic forks at the front and coil springs at the rear. Though the springs are not adjustable, it does the job perfectly. The ride is largely pliant. The seats are comfy and well bolstered.

SZ and SZ-X build on a diamond frame features radial 100/90 tyre at the rear. Both the bikes gets only drum brake at the front and the rear. As expected, the brake lacks bite. SZ and SZ -X are not meant for sporty riding yet it skids on hard braking (which a commuter could encounter in traffic conditions).

SZ-X gets electric start, tank shrouds and body graphics to command a premium price. The five spoke cast alloy wheel is standard in both SZ and SZ-X. Tachometer and disc brake is no-no in SZ and SZ-X. However, SZ and SZ-X gets a engine malfunction indicator.
