Love first walked into my life when i was 8 months old. Dad brought home a shining red "yamaha" rx-100 back in 1987. Though i do not have memory of that rainy day delivery itself, the rx will always remain my first memory of a motorcycle. 31 years from then, the "made in japan" tag is still intact on the engine cover and she still behaves like a teenager when given the beans. But this isn't about the rx-100. You can't describe love in words. This is however, about her sibling born 3 decades later, brought home under similar circumstances and weather conditions. This is about the yamaha fz-25.When i first rode the yamaha fz25 back in may last year, i had a herniated disc and walked like a car with two right punctured tyres. When i got a call from the yamaha showroom that the test bike had arrived and will be available only for a few hours, i couldn't miss it. I somehow managed to hop onto my then royal enfield himalayan and with a face that grimaced with every pothole and undulation on the road, reached the yamaha showroom. Once i rode the fz, the grimace turned into a big wide grin. As i hopped on again on my himalayan, the decision was made. The himalayan had to go. The fz came into our lives in june last year but i still couldn't ride enough, given my back condition. 9 months and umpteen hours of physiotherapy hence, i am back on the saddle. While i still can't ride as much as i used to, i can ride enough to write about it. So lets get started.Starting with the looks, it's a thoroughbred naked and it's a thoroughbred yamaha. The street presence is amazing and the one can easily mistake it for a middleweight naked. The twin led headlamp does a decent job in illuminating the street. On the highway though, one would need to upgrade the torches for a better throw and spread. Moving on to the instrument cluster and this is the first place where yamaha India leaves you wanting for more. While it does have an odo, two trips, a clock, average speed and a fuel efficiency indicator, there is only one toggle for all the options. So for instance, you can't have the clock and the odo displayed at the same time and that's a bit of a downer. The all digital cluster itself has an orange backlight and is nice and bright even in direct sunlight. Next up, the dynamics. The bike feels light on its feet and that's because it is. At 800 mm, the seat height is just right for an average sized indian. The riding stance, though aggressive, is not tiring in the city, nor out on the highway either. What's lacking for the 800 kms a day tourers though, is wind protection and yamaha should seriously think about adding optional accessories to this bike.Moving on to the heart of the motorcycle, its engine and this is where the fun begins. On the specs sheet, the engine technology is well, not the latest. When you ride it though, it is in a league of its own. There is tremendous amount of torque in the low and mid revs. The throttle response is just unbelievably instant. There isn't even a split second wasted in what your right wrist orders and what your rear wheel does and unlike its european competition, the engine is very tractable and doesn't knock at lower revs. For instance, you can pull comfortably from 45 kph in 5th gear without even the slightest hint of the engine knocking and before you know it, you're doing triple digit speeds. If you're into riding for breakfast rides with a group of 600+ cc motorcycles, you won't be left too far behind in the pack as this engine can sit at 120-125 kph comfortably all day long. It takes fast commuting and short distance touring to an all new level. Another great feature of this engine is heat management. The engine doesn't heat even in heavy traffic, in direct sunlight. In terms of heat management, it really feels like a 150cc motor. I have not ridden anything like it in this category of motorcycles. You have to ride it to experience it.However, and there is a however, yamaha India once again leaves you wanting for more in terms of a tall, overdrive 6th gear. I still try searching for it upwards of just 80 kph. Not that the engine loses steam or feels stressed at triple digit speeds. It just loses that relaxed, tractable nature and gets into that hungry for more mode beyond 80 kph. That brings me to the transmission. With the least amount of clutch lever slack, the 5 speed gearbox is quite precise with no false neutrals. Finding neutral at a traffic light does require a try or two. However, if you kill the engine, it slots into neutral like a hot knife through butter. That makes me think that there may still be some work needed in the clutch department but i'm just nitpicking here.Coming to the ride and handling, the bike is well balanced, stable at high speeds and eager to corner or change directions in traffic. It's not as sharp as the track focused yamaha r15 or the ktm's for that matter but it does the job fairly well. Once again, cost cutting by yamaha india is very evident in the tyre department. The stock mrf's are built for a longer tread life and do not instill much confidence in corners. It's a great chassis setup let down by the tyres. Thankfully, that's not much of a task to change and i will be making that change soon. An area of concern that cannot be easily set straight though is braking. The brakes lack the initial bite and feel spongy. A harder pull on the levers and they provide enough feel, feedback and stopping power. Just the lack of initial bite once again lets you think that this bike was not designed for the enthusiasts. To top it all, there is no abs available, even as an option.All in all, this yamaha is easy to own, easy to ride and easy to maintain. In the city, the bike returns a fuel economy of around 35 kmpl which is mind boggling for the amount of grunt it packs in. The spares are not expensive, the service costs are low and at 1.4 lakhs, otr, mumbai, it is a package hard to refuse. Where it leaves the enthusiast wanting for more is better braking, better transmission, better tyres and a more comprehensive instrument cluster. So whom is this bike for? it is for the ones who are seeking that balance between performance and practicality. It is for the seeker of joy, for the seeker of reliability. It is for that valentino rossi fan who goes to work wearing a tie and goes weekend riding wearing leathers!

Tips for Yamaha FZ25

Keep the clutch setting to least slack for smoother great shifts

The bike is amazing and has served me well for the past 5 years. I've ridden it every day, maintenance is affordable and easy to do even on your own. The only sad part is that it only has a 5-speed gearbox, and even on the 5th gear, it still has plenty of power and wants one more gear to fully use the power on hold. The bike looks great and all but needs a 6-speed gearbox to utilize it's full power

Honest Review After Driving 39000 km In 5 Years
31 weeks ago
Rahul Tak
I have been using this bike for the last 5 years. The bike is very good to ride in the city or on highways. The special thing is I never had a back pain issue while riding on this bike. Daily I am riding 50km in city traffic. I am getting 34 mileage per liter. The best part of this bike is the seating position. My height is 6 feet 4 and 4 inches and I never feel discomfort on this bike. I have completed more than 39k km driving and then given this honest review.

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

Most underrated bike of yamaha
46 weeks ago
Tanmay Mohapatra
1. Budget-friendly
2. Easy & comfortable to ride
3. Funky look with decent performance
4. Low-cost service 7 maintenance
5. Pros - You can do long & city rides. It's worth its prize on that 250 cc segment and performance is best, brakes are excellent, tire grip to the drifting is best, and services ok but need to improve.
Cons - 5 no gears instead of 6 & little low power as compared to 250cc Very smooth, comfortable yet powerful bike. Just got it a week ago and I really liked it. I am 6 feet tall and I guess it would be comfortable for people of any height. The exhaust sound is really impressive too. People are noticing my bike on the roads.

You can go for N250 but this bike is big and looks good and attracts people
Comfortable and easy trick. Maintenance of this bike is very easy. This bike lacks only 2 things 1 additional gear and instrument cluster but when you drive it in city you won't need 6th gear, go for it.

Best performance bike & awesome looks
1 year ago
Ayush Gawas
First of all my buying experience was very good I boked my bike and I got it within a week. I had not even taken a test ride of the bike. When I went to take delivery it was a very good experience. My first experience of riding this machine was very good the power and torque distribution are very well managed. It gives a raw feeling after riding this bike. I was impressed with the looks of this bike the muscular tank design and the robot-faced headlight. Performance is very good. The best torque of 20nm and power of 20bhp gives the best feeling for riding this machine in cities and highways. It manages mileage of 30-35 in the city & 40 on the highway. It gives a better riding range with the massive 14ltr tank. Servicing cost is higher. I bought my bike in 2018 and I have done 5-6 services till now.
Pros-
1 torque and power distribution
2 riding posture
3 brakes
4 handling
Cons-
1 better headlight performance
2 5th gear is missing
3 poor headlight visibility
4 needs better mileage

Most underrated bike of yamaha
46 weeks ago
Tanmay Mohapatra
1. Budget-friendly
2. Easy & comfortable to ride
3. Funky look with decent performance
4. Low-cost service 7 maintenance
5. Pros - You can do long & city rides. It's worth its prize on that 250 cc segment and performance is best, brakes are excellent, tire grip to the drifting is best, and services ok but need to improve.
Cons - 5 no gears instead of 6 & little low power as compared to 250cc Very smooth, comfortable yet powerful bike. Just got it a week ago and I really liked it. I am 6 feet tall and I guess it would be comfortable for people of any height. The exhaust sound is really impressive too. People are noticing my bike on the roads.

You can go for N250 but this bike is big and looks good and attracts people
Comfortable and easy trick. Maintenance of this bike is very easy. This bike lacks only 2 things 1 additional gear and instrument cluster but when you drive it in city you won't need 6th gear, go for it.

Very smooth, comfortable yet powerful bike. Just got it a week ago and I really liked it. I am 6 feet tall and I guess it would be comfortable for people of any height. The exhaust sound is really impressive too. People are noticing my bike on roads and the looks of this bike are really cool. I am told that its mileage is also really good for a 250 cc bike. I can confirm that after a couple of months of usage.

Best performance bike & awesome looks
1 year ago
Ayush Gawas
First of all my buying experience was very good I boked my bike and I got it within a week. I had not even taken a test ride of the bike. When I went to take delivery it was a very good experience. My first experience of riding this machine was very good the power and torque distribution are very well managed. It gives a raw feeling after riding this bike. I was impressed with the looks of this bike the muscular tank design and the robot-faced headlight. Performance is very good. The best torque of 20nm and power of 20bhp gives the best feeling for riding this machine in cities and highways. It manages mileage of 30-35 in the city & 40 on the highway. It gives a better riding range with the massive 14ltr tank. Servicing cost is higher. I bought my bike in 2018 and I have done 5-6 services till now.
Pros-
1 torque and power distribution
2 riding posture
3 brakes
4 handling
Cons-
1 better headlight performance
2 5th gear is missing
3 poor headlight visibility
4 needs better mileage

Need more gears
1 day ago
Purlanson
The bike is amazing and has served me well for the past 5 years. I've ridden it every day, maintenance is affordable and easy to do even on your own. The only sad part is that it only has a 5-speed gearbox, and even on the 5th gear, it still has plenty of power and wants one more gear to fully use the power on hold. The bike looks great and all but needs a 6-speed gearbox to utilize it's full power

Honest Review After Driving 39000 km In 5 Years
31 weeks ago
Rahul Tak
I have been using this bike for the last 5 years. The bike is very good to ride in the city or on highways. The special thing is I never had a back pain issue while riding on this bike. Daily I am riding 50km in city traffic. I am getting 34 mileage per liter. The best part of this bike is the seating position. My height is 6 feet 4 and 4 inches and I never feel discomfort on this bike. I have completed more than 39k km driving and then given this honest review.

Drag king 25
43 weeks ago
Drag King
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
