Gixxer vs Fz: https:youtu.beqDku3bqgqWY?t=208
An update in Indian parlance usually means a bump in CC or a bump in power but Yamaha chooses a different approach.
First with the R15 v2 and now the FZ FI v2.
We find out if the upgrade works.

I bought the fz fi v2 (black) instead of gixxer in june. And this video helped me a lot. I couldn't have been more correct with my decision. While the gixxer is seriously a good competitor but fz is still a step ahead when it comes to engine refinement, handling, braking, throttle response (just as mentioned in this video). These things matter a lot to me, not the top speed. Because i rarely drive it above 100kmph (although i have driven it upto 119kmph). It has better mileage as well, in short a much better option for cruising. Thanks a lot powerdrift for making me reach this decision. :)
+faizan ansari could u please tell what's the mileage u get.? i am the proud owner of old yamaha fz-s since 2011.
+AkHiL G M NAIR 45-48 kmph
+faizan ansari Gixxer beats fz right from speed of 60kmph.
+Dhaval D you haven't reas my comment clearly. I have never said that fz is faster. But it is more refined and that is more important to me.
difference is not like as you compare bajaj and honda engines. gixxer is quite a refined machine as well. probably very slightly less than fz v2. Further, I love the firing sound of gixxer exhaust.
When it comes to comparing 150cc bikes, I think acceleration and top speed should be left aside. That's like judging a baby based on how much he can bench press.
150cc bikes are good because they're cheap, easy to maneuver, have good fuel economy and are the best way to outsmart traffic.
As always, great review.
Yeah, and it's top speed is probably around 150 kmph.
Not to sound rude, but there's no point in talking about racing performance with an engine that small.
*****
100% correct. A 150cc could help you learn the basic but its not a proper performance bike.
I mean, you don't buy an FZ or a Gixxer for the speed or acceleration. It does 0-60 mph in 15 seconds (and 20 for the FZ).
Like, even a 1960 rice burner Nissan is faster than that.
That's like taking two MotoGP bikes and saying which one has the best passenger seat.
0-60 mph in 11 seconds? That's super slow.
Again, you don't buy an R15 for it's performance. You get one because of it's sporty looks and to get used to the riding position.
I mean, you don't get one to drag race, because you would lose against everyone.
It looks like a fast bike even though it's not.
***** You freakin noob. Just get your facts right before you speak. You have no idea what R15 is upto.Check out the power drift's KTM390 video where in national level rider admits RC390 as best bike next to R15.
came accross this video again... wow and this was 6 years ago! It makes me realise the time I have been watching Power Drift with same enthusiasm.. Keep doing the great stuff guys.. You are the best.!
Both bikes are good but i chose FZ-S 2.0 because of its design and Fuel Injection
I don't need top speed because i rarely go above 50kmph and the quality of FZ just made me go for it
btw my fzs v2 show a mileage of 55 on highways and 50+ in city....!!! so happy
Saurav Suranjan @ what speed u will ride in highway and you get 55kmph??
Saurav Suranjan it shows only in ur brain but not in real world coz you're day dreaming
I am confused between these two bikes about their gear box. Whose gear box is smooth please tell
@@sameerranjan826 Yamaha
Might as well take aa wheelchair to work since you like to ride 10kmph
Great review and comparision Powerdrift.. I'm surprised to see how well the gixxer can perform.. it's so quick for a 150cc.. 80-90 km/h comes up so fast.
brok3n Oh yes! It is a delight. :)
I own a Cyber Green FZ-S V1 bought in 2012, still pushes its limit till 115 and holds it there ! #LordOfMyStreet
@Akash Kaniche lol it's Yamaha for you.... My Fz16 returns 45kmpl for 100rs (1.27 Litre) (variable) I ride it in 45 to 75kmph on avg 60kmph and the stretch is around 7 to 14kms on one side and 5 kms is of straight highway and then the traffic starts.... So Fz has different mileage on different bikes... Yes it's different from bike to bike... Mainly depends on Idle acceleration rate.
I hav purchased gixxer.. Coz of ur review.. n I love my Bike... Loving riding on it...
raja sekhar Ohh hoo! We shall ping you with our address details! Kindly send us some jalebis and samosas! :P
Ha ha.. sure...
Hi shekhar
How much gixxer costs you
Its 91k on road.
I m also planning to buy it
Can u plzzz tell me average of bike ur views plz
one of the most stylized and tech savvy review channel... the music..the good sound recording... the sporty and stylish host...the bike spec animation... it all looked so good... thumbs to the whole production system... just one small request.. we love hearing the wind thuds while watching the bikes revving fast... can u add some of those in the middle???
Chandramouli Ghosh Thank you Cadet! Hope you keep liking and sharing our other videos too. We have a lot of other videos with flybys! Here is a start - th-cam.com/video/bNUZijiBOo0/w-d-xo.html
Yamaha FZ, I'm using it from 2015 , having 55kmph mileage. Not complaints😍 love Yamaha
Was in a dilemma which bike I should purchase. Bought fz-fi v2.0 the next day I watched this video. Thank you POWERDRIFT.
Your videos look rich and informative. May I have a pointer to a video (if already exists) on how to get the best of FZ-FI ?
Nice comparison guyz......also on road difference in huge among these two...fzs for 95000 while gixxer at 84000.
ashutosh sangare Yes, true that!
suzuki gixxer is good, but fz v.2 has better quality, better engine refinement,comfortable seats both front and back,better mileage and good suspension not stiffer like gixxer .Controlling of fz v.2 is as good as gixxer.Fz v.2 cost 5 thousand more than gixxer but it worth that money.And fz v.2 also gets fuel injection.so go for fz v.2
xyzpq rst but fz,s body is made out of like a plastic
I am confused between these two bikes about their gear box. Whose gear box is smooth please tell
@@kunalvkarale7821 Gixxer also have same body sheet bro
Great Video, straight to the point and well presented and only downside is the background music sometimes overlaps with the host's voice. Cheers from the Philippines.
hey POWER DRIFT!!
this video is uploaded a couple of year back but what i personally felt is that a full detailed video should be made on it. In which complete road test is been done like considering the parameters such as practicality on road & ownership review can also be made.
secondly i wish a test review that can be a track test and then followed by a road test in which u can suggest the problems & modifications which are needed in the bike.
hope u can consider my request and upload a video which is up to date i.e. 2016-17
All about Yamaha FZS FI v2 exclusively... :)
Nice review, this is what i was looking for.
I need an information regarding the seating of the bike Yamaha FZ. Is it good compare to Gixer
Thanks for the video..Informative..Bt pls cud u elaborate about the ground clearance issue being raised in gixer..That wud b helpful.
Which is best among these three?
Yamaha FZ-FI v2.0 ,Suzuki Gixxer and TVS Apache rtr 160 in handling,acceleration and efficiency.
bought GIXXER Dual tone with rear disc ... Amazing Performance
My yamaha Fz-s V1 is ruling the street since 6 years. No doubt gixxer also is the best bike in 150cc segment, but it's not all about the performance it's about the Build quality and highlight your style on the street. Let's see how is the build quality of suzuki gixxer. Yamaha always holds the fantastic looking and highlights you on the street and track. Handling nobody can beat yamaha in braking and control, Fz-s is a traffic cutting machine.
Help+knowledge+fun= powerdrift you guys r the best
i ride both v1 and v2 of fz's but i loved lot on fzv1 bcoz of styling and smoother engine better in Cruse on road and the mileage is lower but i like the handling jst make Wow.. even though i ride pulsar 150, Fz v2 but nothing had this much handling and pick up. when I'm riding Fz V2 it had issues like kiker and I disliked the bike because of Over weight and handling is not better as v1.and has weight on stering it feels pain to ride on traffic.Fzv1 has not such issues.buttery smooth and handling is perfect compare to other 150cc bikes till date..!
For an commuter like us nothing can be Better than Fz... I have Fz16 and Apache RTR 180 believe me both are good in terms of handling but Fz has its corner to it's knees...
I m writing this review for gixxer after riding it for almost 1.5 years. Suzuki has a much room for improvement, pillion seat is a hell, after just 15 minutes your companion will start complaining about the bad design, maintainance cost is much higher than honda, you need to go frequently. Recurrence of the technical issues is a big problem with gixxer. Just to give an example , I had an issue with the chain, the service centre fixed it somehow but the problem persists still and this is the third time i m going to fix it, still not sure if it doesn't occur in future. Radial tyres may make it easier on curves, but while normal city rides, the rear tyres may slip a lot because it has less area in contact with the road, so it makes extremely troublesome on wet roads, especially if you are riding without a pillion. I dont have much experience with fz or hornet, but guys plz think about this before going for gixxer
noob comment
Well its street fighter for you... Pillion comfort is not even better in Fz... Not sure of Hornet... And just re cushion it for softer seat
a very good and informative video followed by a wise and genuine discussion.... its veey rare on youtube these days.. cheers to that👍
You always know how to charm away viewers, right Sarge? Very nice review. Although, I wanted it to be a bit more in detail, whatever was presented was delightful. One thing I wanted to know primarily was - how are these two maintenance wise? FI system in FZ isn't as good as it's in bigger Yamaha bikes (I've heard).
Awesome review . really I like the way you people do it in an effective way... And reviews looks like an action movie. I am very confused between gixxer , apache 160 and pulsar 180 . plssss suggest me which to prefer considering all the aspects.
Loved watching ur reviews.
Can you please suggest Yamaha FZs V2.0 vs Gixxer Rear disc edition considering the ride comfort and engine performance and also the Headlamps issue in Gixxer.
Do a R1 review already. I love all your reviews and would like to see your take on Yamaha's flagship motorcycle
Excellent review. Glad you guys made one. But i am confused between few bikes . I am a college student and I am planning to buy a new bike . Please help to choose one . My considerations are :
1. Pulsar 150 AS
2. Gixxer 155
3. Apache 200 RTR
And also no one had done a review between Pulsar 150 AS and Gixxer 155 . There's too lot of review between Gixxer SF and Pulsar AS not a good one with Pulsar VS Gixxer 155 . Please make one and waiting for review on Apache RTR 200 4V
Great review guys.. Anyone can get the complete knowledge about these bikes by watching this review.
I am gonna buy one this week or the next. The only thing concerns me is the durability and maintenance. I am not getting the answer anywhere. Fi engine is new for the garage people like the gixxer in the market.
Plz plz suggest which bike will be durable with less maintenance problems!!
TIY
Whoever reviews these two bikes will go for Gixxer. These crybabies in the comment section will always bash Suzuki. Gixxer has a great acceleration, pickup and looks better than the boring FZ. And the engine is reliable. I've clocked 800kms in a single day in the summer's 42°C( servicing done before 6000kms) and its same as the day 1 pickup.
PowerDrift Great video once again guys. But now I am just confused which bike to choose between the FZs V2.0 & the Pulsar 200ns both are at the same price point just a few thousand here and there ex-showroom Mumbai. The FZs V2.0 will give me a better mileage whereas the Pulsar 200ns will give me better power 50cc more. My run daily is hardly 30 km to & fro. It would be helpful to choose a best bike out of them yet I know that comparing these 2 makes no sense. But would you help me out.
awesome review and an informative one too .. i hope you guys do more of such cool comparison videos for other test vehicles to help the consumer make an informed purchase .. cheers
Excellent review. Gixxer is a no brainer choice. The 150cc air cooled segment has received a noteworthy entrant after a very long time. Suzuki truly deserve good sales.
I think the RTR 160 has finally been beaten/matched in terms of performance after 7 years(I know it has a small displacement advantage, but still...)
bellicromanx Yes, well said. :)
Hello Team,
Nice review, i agree to what all has been said while comparing both the motorcycles but i would like to know few more things as well.
1. Which one offers better pillion comfort? especially for ladies who sit facing one side.
2. Which company has more trusted service records, yamaha or suzuki?
3. What's the actual fuel economy for both the bikes.
4. I've tested both the bikes but Gixxer has hard gears comparatively., what's your say in that?
5. Gixxer is very sharp and quick on acceleration and light but i felt braking was good enough and also Gixxer's shock absorbers were very good even on bad and bumpy roads. What's your say on this?
Please let me know as i am planning to buy a bike out of these two within a week.
Thanks
Nice review..
I feel the transmission in gixxer is not as smooth as fz,but the gixxer has good acceleration which is a weaker point in fz
muhammed anwar Yes, true that!
Fzs fi tank is steel or carban fiber and it is realy look such finish or not
First of all i like your video, thanks for it. Can u tell me about the after sales service of Suzuki in Hyderabad.
what are the different options do i have if I want to change Tyre set of fz s. I was thinking of fitting pirelli demon 140/60 or contigo 140/60 (continental). Please tell me whether this change will hamper the bike performance in adverse manner?? I once experienced pirelli tyre in acess 125(scooter) & it was phenomenal, so thought to experiment on Fz also. Please reply......
which one better fzs 2.0 and honda hornet 2018.I listen hornet chain problem its true? plss give suggestion...
Nice review. What was the soundtrack played in d background???
naked gixxer 155c facing carb icing..
condense of carburetor so much that water found on carburetor body...
when checking mileage in service center found 55kmpl
but when checking reserve to reserve m getting 44kmpl
do u hear about this?
Watching it after 6 years ❤️ the visual effects are still better than the most of the new channels
Sir pls help which one shud i go fr yamaha Fz S or Fz F1
will gixxer give comfort?? beacause i m not fond of extra visor i prefer naked so please suggest me a bike..
Which bike should I buy among Yamaha FZ & pulsar 150?
Great review! Fan of power drift now!
Could you help me with one doubt. I want to know if the bike is comfortable for tall riders like me 6ft 1. I am really planning to buy this bike after watching this video! or 200 ns it is
HI i am confused between 2 bikes please suggest me one. Bajaj Pulsar AS150 and Yamaha FZS ver2.0
Is apache 180 a better pick when compared to gixxer dual disc variant.?! Apache costs 4k cheaper than gixxer here in hyderabad.. Please reply
Excellent video as always.... Just raises one hard question... Gixxer or Apache Rtr 160?
Sexy video..!!! I only wish that you had mentioned just one more point when it comes to real world practicality - and that is after sales service. Suzuki have a really bad service center presence even in metropolitans and megacities. At least with Yamaha if you don't like one dealer you can always go to an alternate dealer for after sales.
That's true :) and That's how things were for Yamaha once not so long ago. "Better products" got in more dealership, and the right attitude of the new dealers, got in "better service"
Let's give it some time :)
PowerDrift Absolutely - Gixxer is a winner and Suzuki said (in a recent news article I read) that they are going to concentrate on increasing their dealer density... I am still recommending to Gixxer to every tom, dick and harry I am meeting..!! Once again - this was a cool video. Sgt. always does good things!! Thanks for your reply! :)
Wrong information on FZ F1 v1.0 top speed 107kmph
Thank you for an unbiased review .... Great stuff
Hiten Sangani Cheers Hiten. :)
Aniket Banerjee fz
Go with the FZ V2.0 Aniket...it meets your requirements
Love all your reviews...how about one for apache rtr 180 abs...there are no reviews anywhere I could find.
Riwaz Marhatta That is because we still have no access to the bike. :)
+PowerDrift Oh okay....Thankz anyway.
please help me with one is better fz or gixxer.. if v look ovrall perfrmnc
Which one will be better ..Suzuki Gixxer SF or yamaha fazer fi version 2.0 ? pls help me....

Raehan Ahmed Which bike did you buy?
I have purchased Yamaha FZS Fi around 4 months back.Now after few months of use the bike has done around 4000kms. Now my issue is the bike gets heated up within 7 or 8kms of drive and the a clicking sound with acceleration is coming from engine.I took to service station many times everything was checked with engine oil,tappet adjuested but this sound have not yet stoped.I am really worried is it something wrong with engine.? Please help and suggest what i can do as service people are not experienced with the FI bike
even though i am not going to buy any bike in near future, i just love watching your reviews!!
Thank you, Pradeep. That means a lot :)
Remember to share our videos with your friends too.

For Hilly area which one?
Bang on the subject PowerDrift... my doubt about the performance of the FZ Ver.2 is clear now, for the record I have the old one and I love it!
Joel Ashirwadam Cheers to that mate!
which ones better in gravel road??
Hi,
I am currently driving a 2009 CBZ Xtreme...It has done 60,000 km and is doing pretty good...
Right now, I am confused whether I should buy a new bike or should I wait for some more time...
Please answer my below questions...
1.What is the life span of a motorcycle?Is this the right time to buy a new bike?My bike has been maintained properly, both tyres have been changed in 2015 and it is running without any major problems.Should I buy a new bike or can I wait for some more time?
2.If I want to buy a new bike, which one should I buy?I like Honda Hornet, Suzuki Gixxer and Bajaj Avenger Street 220.I like the Avenger because of unmatched comfort and looks, but I was told that it is good only in a straight line and is prone to skidding.
Karthik Jakkaraju Hi karthik, so did you buy any bike? I ride a 2003 cbz super sprint...yeah the old one. Done 70k and using for city commuting. My brother bought it in second hand for dirt cheap in 2009 and I am still using it. We also have unicorn and Fz16.To share my experience with bikes..
1. Life span of a motor cycle depends on many factors like the brand we are choosing, how well we ride and maintain it. If there is no problem with your bike performance dont go for a new one.
2. If you still want to buy one, choose a bike that is best suited for your purpose like city commuting or for long drives. There are many bikes in the budget based upon your requirement...you can also check for other factors like engine refinement, mileage, performance, disk brakes, fuel/ carborator engines etc.
Ride safe! Thanks
Which one has a better mileage?
hey power drift....
I'm confused between these two.... Please suggest..
Great video! Would you say the Gixxer beats the performance king of this segment, the RTR160?
the best comparison and the sound quality has been improved guys.keep going.still I am waiting for honda to launch their 160cc bike.we are expecting a review and comparison from powerdrift.
to me fz looked a bit childish and lost its macho look.fz still lacks the high end.
What is the name of color of FZS that you used in this review?
gixxer and hornet who is best plz tell a answer
I'm a daily commuter and now thinking on buying a bike can u pls suggest which bike is more preferable over Yamaha FZv2.0 and Suzuki Gixxer , which bike is better in matters of daily commutation as well as speed coz i'm a speed loving guy , and if any other bike in this same budget pls suggest :D
Hemil Shihora Both the bikes are equally good! The FZ offers refinement while the Gixxer offers performance. If speed is there in your list, we suggest you go with the latter.
thank you so much ;)
Hemil Shihora what about this bajaj pulsar 180 . www.bajajauto.com/pulsar180dtsi_features_technology.asp#topLook
Pablo A. Rossi evn pulsar 180 is not a bad option tho as is overall look wise i find fz better but performance wise pulsar is better ! Thank you for ur suggestion , really appreciate it ;)
Try new splender 180.
Great Work PowerDrift!Really Loved it!. My search for the best comparison is over :) Thanks..
Btw Team PwerDrift, need an opinion, Given that I am okay to put extra 8k , Is Yamaha FZS FI worth it ? I dont care much about Speed and Power.City commuting is Main :)
hello sir i want to buy a bike around 90 to 95 k can please suggest me a good bike fz v 2.0 or gixxer ????
Impressive review PowerDrift!
Exactly what I wanted to see, thank you so much.
Chitransh Khanna Thank you Chitransh. :)
Hey, guys.. really awesome videos..kudos!
I really don't know where to post thsi so Iam just gonna ask my question here..
Suzuki Gixxer or Apache rtr180 ABS?
I don't mind paying a little extra for the ABS.. its totally worth it.. if it helps avoid a crash even just one time ;-)
But this is my first time buying a motorcycle so I have no idea how TVS stacks up as a manufacturer.. would be really happy for any inputs.. and if by chance you guys think the Apache is worthless then which bike with ABS do you recommend?.. Thanks..
Alex Bigham Since you are inclined towards buying a bike that has ABS, look no further!
Thanks for the quick reply..
Again...Kudos to you guys :-)
Can we put kick start also ???? In fzs v2
I bought Yamaha Fz s v 2.0 and i feel that the engine is heating soon i am on around 120 km, is this a problem or it is not a big problem for new engine?? And one more thing that i want to ask with you guys Driving with 2 riders on this condition(in case of total 100+ kms) will harm engine or i can drive it with 2 rider?? (I have heard somewhere that i should avoid double rider until it reach to 500 KM)
Reply ASAP please i am waiting for it.
sandy adhikari The initial phase also known as the run in phase is the most critical phase of owning a motorcycle! The bike should not be pushed beyond a certain RPM in this period. Head out to the service center and you will get your solution.
:D
Nice review
Could you also do a short review on the fazer v2 and Fz v2
krishna kanth We shall do it once we lay our hands on the Fazer.
