Another cool video of the Ninja 250R

Here is another cool video of the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Tsukigi racing exhaust for the Ninja 250R

Selecting a Motorcycle Exhaust-System was never been so difficult, most riders see the Exhaust-System as the easiest way to increase the power of their motorcycle. A survey under riders revealed that most motorcyclists planned to buy an alternative exhaust system for their bike in the next year.

One company Tsukigi Racing has been designing and building aftermarket performance motorcycle exhaust-systems. Tsukigi Racing founded 37-years ago, and now for 10-years active in the Thai motorcycle market has introduced a complete performance exhaust-system for the in Thailand popular Kawasaki Ninja 250R.

The Tsukigi Racing Exhaust-System for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is probably the easiest aftermarket pipe to install bolting on in a mere 10 minutes. When viewing the end can from the side, people either loved or hated the pipe. The lack of a heat shield can be unpleasant for a pillion-rider especially if not wearing closed shoes.

The Tsukigi Racing Kawasaki Ninja 250R Exhaust-System is loud, aggressive but strangely the sound was not irritating, the exhaust note never felt as extreme.



The mechanics from Tsukigi Racing claimed that the aftermarket system would provide a 2 to 3 horsepower performance gain. We where not able to confirm this, riding the bike let us believe that the power gain was more, especially in the lower rev segment.

Overall we where very impressed by, what could be, the first Thai aftermarket product for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R.

Yamaha FZ16 : First impression

xbhp.com, a leading two-wheeler forum recently had a photo-shoot of the Yamaha FZ16. Here are some pictures taken by the website

Even the handle bars are painted black

The Yamaha FZ16 has sexy looks from rear three quarter

Even at standstill, the FZ means business!

The half exposed chain looks cool

The best console in India? We agree..almost!

The mid-ship exhaust is a la FZ1

Won't the FZ look awesome with the mud-guard chopped off?

It might be a dummy tank, but looks awesome

FZ1 inspired lamp, R1 inspired indicators..Yamaha has left no stone unturned

TVS Apache RTR VS Yamaha FZ 16

TVS APACHE RTR VS YAMAHA FZ16

Without a doubt, the bike that Yamaha's FZ16 will be competiting against will be the TVS Apache RTR. We try to pit these two bikes against each other to see which has a potential to be the winner

RTR FZ16
ENGINE 159.7CC 153CC
POWER(PS) 15.4 @ 8500 14.0 @ 7500
TORQUE(NM) 13.1 @ 6000 13.6 @ 6000
TOP SPEED 118.7 KM/H 110.9 KM/H
0-60KM/H 5.04 SEC 5.51 SEC
MILEAGE 50 KMPL 43.5 KMPL

The TVS Apache RTR seems to have a powerful engine, but the FZ16 strikes back with more torque. Performance wise, the RTR again has the lead, hitting a true 118.7km/h which is around 125km/h on the speedometer. The Yamaha FZ16 on the other hand manages around 110.9km/h on the test equipment or around 120km/h on the speedometer.

Where the Yamaha FZ16 shines, in our opinion, is in the city. The comfortable riding position, the torquey engine etc.

On the looks front, the FZ16 is the clear winner. The ultra sexy fat 140mm rear tyre, wide forks, awesome tank etc, all make the bike look the best in India, by a far margain.

Stunts wise, we think, both the bikes are equally good. However, the RTR is a track bike, and will make the Yamaha FZ16 eat dust on the track.

Coming to the last, the pricing

On the road cost, Pune
TVS Apache RTR : Rs 67,151
Yamaha FZ16 : Rs 72,500

The FZ16 is expensive by Rs more than five thousand! Thats a lot of money.
But you get the looks, the quality and nimble handing. The looks alone tempt you into going for the FZ16.... We want to hear what you think - participate in the poll (see right side of this blog page). Let us know what you think by commenting on this post too!

Yamaha FZ16 wheelie and stoppie pics

We found this link from the touring site www.bcmtouring.com
Bike India magazine had carried a road test of the Yamaha FZ16 in the October issue and here is the picture of the cover.

Bunny Punia, of Bike India magazine was on the bike, stunting in Goa. He sure can lift the bike well, as seen on the cover, or is it just that the bike is very much capable of doing this?


We also found more stunting pictures, stoppies, on the Yamaha FZ16 from Bike India magazine's website. Have a look, click on the pictures to enlarge them, and enjoy!
