I bought Yamaha Fazer in year 2011 left home a bit to buy Bajaj Pulsar but ended up buying a Fazer as the showrooms were almost closed and that decision of mine was proven to be the worst one
Very heavy bike in the segment, riding was smooth but much more expensive as the mileage that was claimed (50km/l) by the co. was never achieved just gave me mileage between 30-35. I have never sped up using the bike as it is said more speed will lower the mileage of the vehicle but still very little mileage
if you wanna have a trendy-looking bike then this is the one for you but if expecting value for money don't go for it
performance: if you are looking for high speed vehicle then you can buy it, the balance of the bike is good
servicing: after-sales service is very poor as well as maintenance is very expensive as and when I went for servicing the workers were unskilled every point we have to tell them again and again, if you need some part to be replaced then it took very long to get it.

My father bought it in 2010 and the first experience is very awesome because this bike has a sporty look with a handlebar which makes it perfect for long rides and daily commutes. Its servicing and maintenance costs are very low.
Pros-
The engine is very efficient and gives a better mileage of 45kmpl. The seat is very comfortable.
Cons-
The engine vibrates a little bit at higher rpm and gets heated up quickly.

If you maintain well...
This bike is best in class
For long rides , city rides . Engine is smooth, Riding comfort is good, for me power is slightly less compared to others in this segment, and we do lot of modifications, top speed is 112, suspension is
unimaginable , and radial tyre give you better experience, under 80km/hr there no need of ABS..

After 10 years and 70k kms I'm still happy with Yamaha. Annual average maintenance costs me <5k. I get vehicle serviced for every 2.5k KMS and currently get a mileage of 38 KMPL. Headlamps are modified for both to operate simultaneously, replaced with 30W LED when6I bought the vehicle. Battery replaced once so far.

5 years ago
Prajan
Hello everyone,I owned my fazer version 1 special edition for my daily usage and also sometimes long trips.Here i'm sharing my travel experience with my bike. Pros : 1. Really looking very stylish and the mirror is just look likes eagle wings while we drive. Feels great 2. Mileage is also good , getting 35 to 40 pl sometimes on long drive getting 43 like that 3. Engine is very smooth , moving sounds good 4. Long drives feels amazing, but little bit fear ( because riding a big & length vehicle on the road)5. Back tyre awesome , such a safety ride, no worry about back tyre 6. Overall performance of fazer is excellent.Cons :1. Important thing this vehicle very suitable for tall person with having long hands.2. Average tall persons cannot sit straight and operate the vehicle long period or distance 3 .Definitely will get back pain and neck pain while drive 70 to 80 km like that.5. Apart from that , vehicle performance is good.

I was riding my 8 years bajaj caliber when i saw white yamaha fazer pass by me. The first thing noticed was the broad rear tyre. Man! it gave such a masculine looks to the bike. That's when i decided to own it one day. Its not that i was unhappy with my caliber, it had great pickup. However it lacked power. After a year or so fortunately or unfortunately caliber started giving problems. So that's where i thought of buying yamaha fazer 153cc. I always loved blacked colour vehicles, so without any thought i went for black fazer. It looked so beautiful. The design, broad tyres, that's masculine built. I can't forget my first ride, it brought smile on my face. Going from 7.8 hp to 13.8 hp was something blissful for me. Can't imagine its been almost 8 years from that day.So i am still using yamaha fazer. I have clocked 90,456 kms till now. So here is my experience so far;1. Built quality: one of the best. You feel very secure while riding. I have dashed on the cars due to sudden breaking, but never saw any thin crack on the headlights. The fairings quality is also top notch. One thing i like about fz series is that the tank cover can be replaced if damaged. Thus the petrol tank is very much secured by this plastic cover.2. Riding experience: i have ridden fazer on both highways and city roads. The handle has a great feedback. Its easy to manoeuvre even it seems to be big sized bike. Due to broad tyres and 141 kg weight bike is very much stable at high speeds. I have managed to touch 125 kmph, still the bike was stable and in control. Most of my rides are in city, so there are many potholes and bumps, but i never experienced any back pain till now. Though the suspension setup is on the stiffer side. On highways its just cruises.3. Performance: one of the best in 150 cc bikes. Though its not meant for racing, the engine can handle high revs very well. Its more of a touring bike. It still manages to give 35-40 kmpl in city conditions.4. Servicing and maintenance: i get its servicing done at every 4,000 kms, which costs me around rs.1200/- including oil change. Only one major job was done, that is of suspension. I had to replace it at 84,000 kms, even though the suspension was in working condition. Because of my ignorance and also the yamaha service centre guys didn't bother to grease the suspension and swing arm bush. Its has to be greased at every 17000 kms, which i never did. It cost me rs. 3700/-. Chain needs lubrication after every 600-800 kms, which can done at home. Other thing is after every 20,000 kms you have to change the chain sprocket. I have changed my front tyre once that too at 80,000 kms. Rear tyre is replaced at every 20,000 kms.5. Pros: a. Refined and reliable yamaha engine. b. Nice ride and handling. c. Value for money. d. Good mileage. e. Low maintenance cost. 6. Cons: a. Low powered engine at this price compared to competitions. b. Less torque. c. Drum brakes not that effective.

Hello everyone,I owned my fazer version 1 special edition for my daily usage and also sometimes long trips.Here i'm sharing my travel experience with my bike. Pros : 1. Really looking very stylish and the mirror is just look likes eagle wings while we drive. Feels great 2. Mileage is also good , getting 35 to 40 pl sometimes on long drive getting 43 like that 3. Engine is very smooth , moving sounds good 4. Long drives feels amazing, but little bit fear ( because riding a big & length vehicle on the road)5. Back tyre awesome , such a safety ride, no worry about back tyre 6. Overall performance of fazer is excellent.Cons :1. Important thing this vehicle very suitable for tall person with having long hands.2. Average tall persons cannot sit straight and operate the vehicle long period or distance 3 .Definitely will get back pain and neck pain while drive 70 to 80 km like that.5. Apart from that , vehicle performance is good.

I was riding my 8 years bajaj caliber when i saw white yamaha fazer pass by me. The first thing noticed was the broad rear tyre. Man! it gave such a masculine looks to the bike. That's when i decided to own it one day. Its not that i was unhappy with my caliber, it had great pickup. However it lacked power. After a year or so fortunately or unfortunately caliber started giving problems. So that's where i thought of buying yamaha fazer 153cc. I always loved blacked colour vehicles, so without any thought i went for black fazer. It looked so beautiful. The design, broad tyres, that's masculine built. I can't forget my first ride, it brought smile on my face. Going from 7.8 hp to 13.8 hp was something blissful for me. Can't imagine its been almost 8 years from that day.So i am still using yamaha fazer. I have clocked 90,456 kms till now. So here is my experience so far;1. Built quality: one of the best. You feel very secure while riding. I have dashed on the cars due to sudden breaking, but never saw any thin crack on the headlights. The fairings quality is also top notch. One thing i like about fz series is that the tank cover can be replaced if damaged. Thus the petrol tank is very much secured by this plastic cover.2. Riding experience: i have ridden fazer on both highways and city roads. The handle has a great feedback. Its easy to manoeuvre even it seems to be big sized bike. Due to broad tyres and 141 kg weight bike is very much stable at high speeds. I have managed to touch 125 kmph, still the bike was stable and in control. Most of my rides are in city, so there are many potholes and bumps, but i never experienced any back pain till now. Though the suspension setup is on the stiffer side. On highways its just cruises.3. Performance: one of the best in 150 cc bikes. Though its not meant for racing, the engine can handle high revs very well. Its more of a touring bike. It still manages to give 35-40 kmpl in city conditions.4. Servicing and maintenance: i get its servicing done at every 4,000 kms, which costs me around rs.1200/- including oil change. Only one major job was done, that is of suspension. I had to replace it at 84,000 kms, even though the suspension was in working condition. Because of my ignorance and also the yamaha service centre guys didn't bother to grease the suspension and swing arm bush. Its has to be greased at every 17000 kms, which i never did. It cost me rs. 3700/-. Chain needs lubrication after every 600-800 kms, which can done at home. Other thing is after every 20,000 kms you have to change the chain sprocket. I have changed my front tyre once that too at 80,000 kms. Rear tyre is replaced at every 20,000 kms.5. Pros: a. Refined and reliable yamaha engine. b. Nice ride and handling. c. Value for money. d. Good mileage. e. Low maintenance cost. 6. Cons: a. Low powered engine at this price compared to competitions. b. Less torque. c. Drum brakes not that effective.

Mind blowing bike
26 weeks ago
Shibam Ghosh
My father bought it in 2010 and the first experience is very awesome because this bike has a sporty look with a handlebar which makes it perfect for long rides and daily commutes. Its servicing and maintenance costs are very low.
Pros-
The engine is very efficient and gives a better mileage of 45kmpl. The seat is very comfortable.
Cons-
The engine vibrates a little bit at higher rpm and gets heated up quickly.

If you maintain well...
This bike is best in class
For long rides , city rides . Engine is smooth, Riding comfort is good, for me power is slightly less compared to others in this segment, and we do lot of modifications, top speed is 112, suspension is
unimaginable , and radial tyre give you better experience, under 80km/hr there no need of ABS..

After 10 years and 70k kms I'm still happy with Yamaha. Annual average maintenance costs me <5k. I get vehicle serviced for every 2.5k KMS and currently get a mileage of 38 KMPL. Headlamps are modified for both to operate simultaneously, replaced with 30W LED when6I bought the vehicle. Battery replaced once so far.
