Yamaha FZ160 2010 Bison reported to come in Indonesia soon after canceled come in 2009. While Yamaha V-ixion 2010 is already available in Yamaha dealer.
Okay, let’s compare it:
The V-ixion technology is higher than the FZ160, which already used SOHC injection and radiator.
The specification of Yamaha V-ixion is superior compared with FZ160 Bison, V-ixion produces power 16hp max torque 14.5 Nm while the Bison only 14hp max torque 13.6.
But Yamaha FZ160 Bison look beats the V-ixion because FZ160 is truly “street fighter“ that adopted FZ6 and FZ1 model.
And at last, the price of Yamaha FZ160 Bison is lower than Yamaha V-ixion.
