The design of the Yamaha SZ strikes a balance between urban-oriented modern elements and a slightly dated appearance due to its ten-year-old basic form. Despite this, the slim and blacked-out cycle parts give it a sporty appeal within its commuter class.
At the front, the motorbike features a simple trapezoidal headlamp encased within a two-part bikini fairing, with a transparent visor above it, creating a larger front face. The side profile is highlighted by a muscular-looking fuel tank with curved bulges, reminiscent of the Yamaha FZi, adding to the motorcycle's sportiness. Matte black Y-shaped side body panels and body decals contribute to its appealing look.
The rear displays a unique split pillion grab rail, a simple tail lamp with a partitioned design, and an all-black engine and exhaust pipe. The rider's cockpit features a full analog console with essential instruments, and the inclusion of an electric starter and engine kill switch is appreciated.
While the Yamaha SZ draws inspiration from the FZ and has a pleasing and modern appearance, it may not offer an entirely novel and exciting experience compared to other 150 cc models available. Nevertheless, its sporty elements and overall design make it an attractive option for riders seeking a commuter with a touch of style.
