Dimensions in practice
The FZ V3 weighs 135 kg with fluids, has an 790 mm seat, 165 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1330 mm wheelbase. Clearance is average for the class.
The fuel tank holds 13 litres, good for about 592 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 100/80-17 front and 140/60-R17 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
