Yamaha FZ X Price in Shillong

1. The buying experience was quite similar with other brands, as companies have understood the fact that initial impressions go a long way with customers. Having said that, i had actually cancelled my advance booking amount for X440 Harley which was one of the best decisions i could have made.
2. I owned a vespa for 3 years and sold it for a good price. After going for multiple test drives for different bikes, my priority being comfort, good road presence and pillion comfort for my better half, this was the best option, The most common impression and response people gave was "Why didn't you go for Royal Enfield/Ronin?", my answer was simple, a. It has reduced itself to common bike after offering EMI options and aggressive sales with most of them selling back to market for financial issues(check OLX) and b. the Total weight of the bike with full tank of fuel is above 200 kg which, my friend is hellish in hot, humid, polluted weather at a red light.
3. It could have more power, which i only felt missing when i travelled to hill stations nearby, but in city, the opportunity to go beyond 60 km/hr + is rare, just like the times this bike will disappoint you in performance VERY RARE
4. SERVICING IS EXPENSIVE. YAMAHA WILL CHARGE YOU FOR THE TECHNOLOGY THEY PROVIDE NOT AT THE PRODUCT PURCHASE BUT AT THE SERVICE CENTER. I can talk to any Yamaha representative and he will agree to this point 100%. For reference, its double of Hero. In my case, if it was just little more affordable i would have praised it.
5. Must Buy for someone who is looking for :
a. Comfort for driver and pillion : Good weight distribution & Straight seat
b. Looks like cruiser but superb maneuvering in traffic
c. no problem in paying extra for service
d. Surely a head turner from daily bike rosters

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was okayish, but since I have shifted from a decade-old hero honda glamour, I fell in love with the comfort, stability, and mileage. It is commendable, how this bike acts and reacts in no time while revving at high or low rvms.
If you want to ride a bike, irrespective of the way it looks and on-paper specs, you will be satisfied with it.

About the Reviewer

Fz x is my first ever bike, the comment on the internet was so horrible for this bike but I went to check it out anyway and fall in love with the design and exhaust sound.
I rode it almost every day and even went for a long rides and offroad on weekends
Had done 4 times servicing and they fixed the hard gear shift
Pros- best mileage of 45 -50 on city rides
Good posture no back problem
Various way to modify
Cons- overpriced
A big speedometer is a huge turn-off
No visor from Yamaha had to buy from the local market
Trust me it looks a lot better with a visor from re 650 twin.
