The Yamaha FZ-S FI V2 is our all-rounder for the hills. This is what it is, who it suits and what renting it involves. Price and booking are on the Yamaha FZ-S FI V2 page.
What it is
A 149cc fuel-injected bike with a 5-speed gearbox. It has crash guards and a luggage rack, a phone holder and a USB charger, and it seats two. We give helmets for you and your pillion.
Who it suits
- Shillong, Cherrapunji and longer hill rides. It's comfortable two-up on the highway and steady on the hairpins after Nongpoh.
- An overnight trip. The rack takes a strapped-down bag; a bag on the rack and a small backpack is usually enough.
- Confident riders going further. Tawang is about 480 km, usually over two days, and needs an Arunachal Pradesh Inner Line Permit (ILP), which we help you apply for.
Leave Guwahati in the morning, so you're through the hill section before the evening fog. Renting a bike for a Shillong trip and the Shillong bike and scooty page have the practical side.
Who should pick another bike
For more power with a pillion and luggage on long climbs, the Bajaj Pulsar N160. For the lightest, simplest geared bike, the Honda SP 125.
What renting it involves
| One day | ₹999 |
| A week | ₹6,294 (10% off for 7 days or more) |
| Distance included | 300 km a day |
Pickup is at Maligaon, 2 km from Kamakhya station. Helmets for you and your pillion are included. We don't take a security deposit on the vehicle. Instead we collect a deposit covering a full tank of fuel, and settle it when you return the bike. For more bikes see bike rental in Guwahati.
