Comparison: Suzuki Gixxer SF vs Yamaha Fazer FI version 2.0
Two new alpha commuters wearing new plastic skin. Skirmish or turf war?
Sometimes it feels like you can paint anything in race bike colours and it’ll be a gazillion miles faster, no? Naked bikes may not afford enough acreage for this kind of artistry but faired bikes do. And luckily for us, Indian customers routinely respond to customer surveys in favour of plastic-clad motorbikes.
Yamaha hasn’t yet gone and done the reverse full monty and offered us an FZ-based, full-faired motorcycle yet. But its Fazer has been a star on many counts. It looks great, the fairing quality is of a very high order and while the positioning as a tourer ignores the size of the engine, it’s a good motorcycle. With the FI model, aka version two, the Fazer loses a few cubes and some power but also some weight and gains much crispness.
