Yamaha FZ25 price in Lucknow

The Yamaha fz25 is a really competitive bike at 250cc as Yamaha provides power to weight ratio which is the best in the class segment, full of torque and lightweight which makes the bike full of fun on city traffic roads and the best in class gear ratio for highway and long tours. Major competitors ns200, rs, duke, etc in 200-250cc. If I would ever have a chance to buy a bike, firstly I will never go on paper numbers because every bike is made differently, but in real life, only the Yamaha fz25 will fulfill every gap which you want in your bike which also including stunt riding which I personally want to do with this bike because of it's durability, power with adjustable suspension and best street fighter as it is known as the lord of the streets. I won't go for the pulsar ns200, duke 200 because their 4stroke 4valve is not sufficient whereas else Yamaha fz25 4stroke 2valve is much better which most people can't see in papers. So Yamaha fz25 will be a really intelligent decision to go for. Before writing this review I searched a lot about 200-250cc segment bikes n only the Yamaha fz25 fulfilled my expectations. It's my dream bike Yamaha fz25 monster edition it will make my day every day.

Better than royal enfield. Superb engine refinement, mileage around 37-40 kmpl which is amazing. Beats all royal enfield bikes in performance and re is nowhere close to yamaha's engine refinement, however, I know RE does not make performance bikes. And even in 250cc segment fz25 is little underpowered but atleast its better than RE . The most amazing part is engine refinement which is what Yamaha is known for and best mileage which are my top reasons to buy this bike. However this bike has an issue with ground clearance which is manageable if you ride alone but need to be taken care of, with a pillion rider

1. The buying experience of buying a Yamaha was really amazing at JM Yamaha motors, Noida. Paper work was hassle free and from the day I bought this bike till date, they have been really courteous and attentive to me. Specially, the service manager and showroom owner.
2. Bike's seating/riding ergonomics is spot on compared to a mix of many motorcycles. The handlebar is wide like a street bike, upright like a cruiser bike, tilted at an angle like a sports bike (with also a bit raised foot pegs which makes the riding fun). Also, the split seats are amazing in terms of space and cushion. This bike can give you sports as well as a cruiser feel. I am obsessed with its riding dynamics.
3. Looks are phenomenal. Even the bike of it's segments are dwarfed in front of it (it's true and i am not kidding). My bs4 model looks more intidimating than Dominar 250 and Gixxer 250 from the frontal area. The swept up tail with neatly designed saree guard integrated into the rear mudf lap shows Yamaha's attention to detail. This bike has a good torquey low and mid range punch which becomes blunt when revved upto its 9650 rpm redline and makes this bike easily cruise at 100 km/h at 6730 rpm in its tall 5th gear. Engine is smooth below 7k rpm and becomes rough above that, becoming satanic on the redline. The clever sprocketing in this bike makes it faster in quarter mile race than its rival bikes. Its quite light when compared to competition and that could be sensed in city's bumper to bumper traffic. First three gear ratios being short and the rest two being tall makes it an excellent city as well as highway bike. Heat management is excellent as well and oil cooler does its job fairly.
4. Normal servicing is pocket friendly ~ rupee 1.2k to 1.5k, whether it's paid or free (except the oil filter which is way more costlier when compared to competition) but when a running part is changed its way more costlier than the competition (being a yamaha owner in India, you have to bear this pain as their parts are always costlier). Also, the yamaha service centres charge a lot on the name of labour charges and then charge got over the latter, making it even more costlier. Regarding maintenance, this is a proper no-non sense bike - enough said. Its made for rough everyday usage and ocassional weekend long rides. Except the rear disc pad change at every 8k to 10k kms (front disc pads usually last longer) and periodic (every 500 kms) chain cleaning and lubing, all this bike needs is a tank full of gasoline.
5.. Pros -
A. Linear & torquey power output and well distributed gear ratios
B. Fuel economy is high in its segment
C. Beefy muscular looks flaunted by a robotic fascia and well sculpted & engineered rear end.
D. Riding ergonomics and split seats with good seating area and comfort for both - rider and pillion
E. Bike with the best butter smooth engine (below 7k rpm) in its bs6 price range of rupees 1 lakh 34 thousand (ex-showroom, Delhi)
F. Smooth and bassy exhaust note - typical Yamaha
Cons -
A. Headlight (bs4) is like a mini torch instead of a proper headlight
B. Instrument console is pathetic viz. Reminds me of Casio calculator
C. Parts cost are high when compared to the competition.
D. Rusting and rear brake pad issue is persistent in earlier models (non-abs bs4)
E. Engine needs a serious overhaul. It's in a dire need of a 4-valve head setup to breathe-in air freely, to rev high and smooth, in its top end. Also, a bigger oil-cooling radiator might assist this bike for long hauls on highway.
If these things are done, then only could the bike ask for a potent and well distributed 6-gear transmission.
F. The front suspension leak and swing arm bush corrosion is imminent in the whole fz series right from the inception of fz16 and Yamaha has done nothing till date to curb it out.
