Its sculpted fuel tank, with cosmetic vents, gives it an even more muscular appearance. The compact exhaust and sleek tail section add to its aesthetic appeal. The single-piece seat not only looks stylish but also offers comfortable riding. You can buy it in two stunning colors: Matte Titan and Metallic Black. Both colors add a new dimension to its elegance.
Performance
They say, the real thing is what is unseen. Hidden within the FZ-Rave’s beautiful body is a powerful heart. Powered by a 149 cc air-cooled single-cylinder 4-stroke SOHC engine. This engine is equipped with fuel injection technology, which means better efficiency and smoother performance. This engine produces 12.4 PS of power at 7,250 rpm and 13.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm.
It’s paired with a 5-speed transmission. Yamaha has tuned this powertrain to provide linear acceleration, meaning speed builds gradually and smoothly. It also offers high fuel efficiency, which will help save you money. Importantly, this bike is E20 fuel-ready, a smart feature for the future.
