The 250cc motorcycle duo is a miracle for performance lovers as no other manufacturer offer such quick machines at INR 1.19 lakh and INR 1.29 lakh respectively. They simply raised the performance expectations of everyday riders in traffic filled country like India.

Yamaha Fazer 25 was recently launched while FZ25 was available from almost an year. The number of units in sales were ever increasing as buyers found nothing more tempting and satisfying as FZ25 in this segment. Nearest rival is KTM 250 Duke and that comes with a much higher price when compared to FZ25.

FZ25 is powered by a 249cc, single cylinder engine producing 20.69 BHP at 8000 rpm and 20 Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

Yamaha offers fuel injection for better fuel delivery while oil cooling makes the motorcycle more effective than standard air cooled options. It weighs just 148 kg and carries 14 liters of fuel tank, resulting in almost 500 kilometers from a single refill.

Top speed claimed is 134 kmph for the FZ25. Fazer 25, on the other hand, uses the same engine and parts but get aerodynamic benefits at higher speeds on the highway.
