Yamaha FZ 10 India – Design
Based on the YZF-R1, this motorcycle is the sinister, street-dwelling twin of the company’s renowned supersports machine. The FZ 10 looks really very futuristic and impresses us with the way it looks. Up front, you get a twin-headlamp setup flanked by a rather sharply styled cowl. Further accentuating the mean looks is the fat 120-section front tyre. Move on to the side profile and you’ll be impressed with all that muscle on show. The FZ 10 has a really well-chiseled fuel tank with well-defined creases. The tail section has a minimalistic design but that does help infuse some sportiness with the motorcycle. Even the rear-end looks very sporty with the super fat 190-section tyre and the full LED taillamp. The stubby end-can and the sporty alloy wheels further make the bike very attractive.
