Spec Byson

The other difference is the rear tyre size of the Spec Byson which is a 120 section one. The Indian Yamaha FZ-16 sports a rather flat shaped 140 section radial tyre. The shape of the rear tyre of the Byson is also rounder in shape compared to the flatter 140 section on the Indian FZ.

The Yamaha FZ doesn't have the best reputation for fuel efficiency among 150 cc bikes in India. The culprit could well be the broad contact patch of the wide tyre of the FZ.
