Yamaha Fazer 150
The Yamaha Fazer 150 has a top speed of ~130 km/h (estimated), produces ~14.7 hp and weighs ~138 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.2/10.
De Yamaha Fazer 150 (in sommige markten ook bekend als de YS150 Fazer) werd in 2006 in Brazilië geïntroduceerd en was gericht op het segment voor woon-werkverkeer en instapsport met een balans tussen prestaties en brandstofverbruik. Het werd een van Yamaha's best verkochte motorfietsen op de Latijns-Amerikaanse markt, met name in Brazilië, en werd geprezen om zijn betrouwbaarheid en gebruiksgemak. Het model werd in de loop der jaren geüpdatet en heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat Yamaha sterk aanwezig is in het segment van de 150 cc pendelaars in Zuid-Amerika.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Proven Reliable Engine
The Fazer 150 uses Yamaha's fuel-injected 149cc single-cylinder engine known for consistent performance and low maintenance costs. With proper oil changes every 3,000–4,000 km, engines regularly exceed 60,000 km without major issues.
Watch the Chain & Sprockets
A common owner complaint is premature chain and sprocket wear, especially in urban stop-and-go riding conditions. Inspect these components carefully on used units and budget for replacement if chain slack is excessive.
Strong Resale Value
The Fazer 150 holds resale value well due to strong brand loyalty and high demand in the commuter segment. A well-maintained 2–3 year old unit typically retains 70–75% of its original purchase price.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A dependable urban workhorse that rewards careful used buyers."
$1,800-$3,200 usedThe Fazer 150 is one of those bikes that punches above its displacement without pretending to be something it's not. Yamaha got the basics right — the 150cc single is smooth enough for daily commuting, fuel economy is genuinely impressive around town, and the semi-faired bodywork keeps wind blast manageable on longer runs. It's not exciting, but it's honest work. Used examples are everywhere, which is both good and bad. Good because prices are reasonable and parts are plentiful. Bad because a lot of these bikes have been thrashed by first-time riders who skipped oil changes and ignored chain maintenance. When you're inspecting one, check the chain slack, listen for top-end rattle at idle, and look hard at the front fork seals — they weep early on high-mileage units. A well-kept example above 30,000km can still have plenty of life left if the service history checks out. It won't set your hair on fire, but for urban commuting and light weekend riding it's genuinely competent. Just don't buy a tatty one hoping to fix it cheap — the cosmetic parts cost more than you'd expect.
