Yamaha FZS FI V4 — Overview
At under Rs 1.20 lakh, the Yamaha FZS FI V4 packs in Bluetooth Y-Connect, an LED projector headlamp, traction control, and single-channel ABS - features you'd expect from a bike costing Rs 20,000 more. The fourth-generation FZ-S launched in February 2023 as Yamaha's answer to the increasingly feature-saturated 150cc segment, and its formula is simple: smooth city manners, modern tech, and Yamaha's trademark fit and finish. The 149cc air-cooled engine is tuned for refinement over raw power - perfect for navigating Mumbai traffic, less impressive when you're trying to pass a loaded truck on NH44. At 136 kg, it's one of the lighter bikes in the segment, and every regular rider notices it: you lane-split confidently, park easily, and never feel like the bike is pushing back. The Y-Connect Bluetooth system adds genuinely useful features - last-parked location, malfunction alerts, battery voltage - rather than just notification mirroring. If you commute in the city five days a week and want your bike to feel premium without stretching your budget past Rs 1.25 lakh on-road, the FZS FI V4 is a very hard bike to argue against.

Yamaha introduced the FZ-S FI V4 STD in two new colours - Dark Matte Blue and Matte Black - on October 5, 2023, priced at Rs 1,28,900 ex-showroom Delhi. These colours were previously exclusive to the Deluxe variant; the STD now joins the lineup at Rs 500 less than the DLX price.

What We Like
- Smooth, refined 149cc engine is ideal for city commuting - relaxed power delivery makes daily riding effortless
- Lightweight at 136 kg - nimble in traffic and easy to manoeuvre at low speeds
- Bluetooth Y-Connect app with last-parked location, service reminders, and call alerts - best connectivity in the 150cc segment
- Full LED lighting including projector headlamp - great visibility and sharp street presence
What Could Be Better
- Overtaking feels labored at highway speeds, especially with a pillion - the 12.4 PS engine runs out of breath above 80 km/h
- Stiff suspension setup transmits road imperfections clearly - potholes and broken city roads feel more punishing than rivals
- Yamaha's dealer and service network is thinner than Bajaj, TVS, or Hero - can be inconvenient outside metros
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Yamaha FZS FI V4?
The Yamaha FZS FI V4 is the right bike if you value smooth daily commuting, modern connectivity, and Yamaha's build quality over outright power. It won't thrill you on open highways, but it rarely frustrates in the city - and at Rs 1.20 lakh, the feature list is genuinely impressive for the money. Riders who push hard on open roads or frequently carry a pillion will find the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or Bajaj Pulsar NS160 a better fit.
