Once upon A time the name 'Yamaha' meant performance machines like the RD350 and RX100. Somewhere down the line the company lost its mojo and joined the queue of manufacturers trying to court the Indian motorcycle customer with dull and boring motorcycles in the name of fuel-efficiency.

While the ultra-sporty, more expensive R15 scores high on drool factor, it is the FZ-16 that has won the customers' hearts. Its sharp styling has suddenly made most of its contemporaries look dated.

And as the queues at Yamaha showrooms prove, the viewers have voted for this bike with their wallets.
