Що повинні знати покупці
Bulletproof air-cooled engine
The 153cc SOHC 2-valve carburetted motor is famously under-stressed and routinely clocks 80,000–100,000 km on basic oil and valve-clearance servicing. Its simplicity means almost any roadside mechanic can work on it, and parts are cheap and widely stocked.
Watch rear tyre and chain costs
The fat 140-section rear tyre is the bike's signature look but costs noticeably more to replace and offers no real grip benefit. Also check for a stretched chain, rusting exhaust heat shield and a sagging rear monoshock, plus cold-start hesitation from a gummed-up carburettor on bikes left standing.
Strong resale, modest performance
Muscular styling and a reputation for durability keep FZ16/FZ-S resale values among the best in the 150cc class, often retaining well over half their value after five years. Just set expectations on pace — it makes only about 14 PS and tops out near 110 km/h, trading outright speed for low-end torque and city tractability.
