pros: 1) value for money product2) excellent low and mid range power and torque band for outstanding city commute3) good road presence4) vibrations are very few and ideal for touring as well5) stable at highway speeds doesn't affected by the crosswinds6)Apt for short rider'scons:1) very very poor headlight's as it doesn't throw the lights far and broad so it's a mandatory to have aux lights2)tank looks beefy but 14ltr is less compared to it's looks should have offered bigger to get more tank range3) instrument cluster is too small and bit outdated compared to R15V3 cluster and you can't view all details at d same time like avg economy,time, trip. only one thing you can view at a time4) Indicator's should have been LEDs5) Should have come with liquid cooling6) only few showrooms provide good service others don't do justice.
Tips for Yamaha FZ25
Do stick to service intervals as suggested by manufacturer, use chain spray for every 500kms.
Honest Review After Driving 39000 km In 5 Years
30 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-friendly2. Easy & comfortable to ride 3. Funky look with decent performance4. Low-cost service 7 maintenance5. 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 peopleComfortable 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 distribution2 riding posture3 brakes4 handlingCons-1 better headlight performance2 5th gear is missing3 poor headlight visibility4 needs better mileage

Well balanced and fun bike
1 year ago
Bhaskar Das
I've been riding this bike since the 1st of January 2021 and till now I've ridden more than 50000km. Although the bike looks like an aggressive street, it's quite comfortable in almost all kinds of situations. Be there the usual traffic, highways, rough roads filled with potholes, or even the sharp corners. The bike is easy to maneuver and that gives the rider a big boost in riding confidently. The engine is quite refined(as expected) and doesn't ride like it's only focused on speeding like some bikes that won't move until it's over 4000rpm(if you know what I mean). The bike will try to assist the rider as much as it can in every gear to make it a comfortable ride. Fun machine. But don't mistake it for a slow 250cc. It can overtake almost every bike of its own segment of naked 250 almost in an instant because of its low and mid-range power. That also helps the bike in traffic and corners or riding in hills. Basically, it's a very well-balanced 250cc that can also be great for beginner riders. Now the cons.. of course, there will be some. The bike has a 5-speed gearbox. Which is good for city rides and provides mileage because of it, but on straight highways, you're going to miss the sixth gear. Although I've reached the top speed of 147kmph on my bike very recently so maybe there is a possibility it can go to 150kmph. The second con is the smoothness of the gearbox. Not as smooth as someone would expect it to be, you know having the reputation of being a yamaha. Sometimes it gets beyond hard.The third is the instrument cluster.. it doesn't have a gear indicator and the instrument cluster is the same old traditional fz25 cluster.. although it doesn't bother the experienced rider, if Yamaha is going to focus on pointing the beginner riders to this bike, I think they should bring some mandatory upgrades on the instrument cluster. The bike should look good from the Rider's eyes too.There are also some other little cons but those will vary depending on the Rider.My personal Overall experience of the bike is 8 out of 10.

Although I've reached the top speed of 147kmph on my bike very recently so maybe there is a possibility it can go to 150kmph. The second con is the smoothness of the gearbox. Not as smooth as someone would expect it to be, you know having the reputation of being a yamaha. Sometimes it gets beyond hard.The third is the instrument cluster.. it doesn't have a gear indicator and the instrument cluster is the same old traditional fz25 cluster.. although it doesn't bother the experienced rider, if Yamaha is going to focus on pointing the beginner riders to this bike, I think they should bring some mandatory upgrades on the instrument cluster. The bike should look good from the Rider's eyes too.There are also some other little cons but those will vary depending on the Rider.My personal Overall experience of the bike is 8 out of 10.

Honest Review After Driving 39000 km In 5 Years
30 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

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-friendly2. Easy & comfortable to ride 3. Funky look with decent performance4. Low-cost service 7 maintenance5. 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 peopleComfortable 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 distribution2 riding posture3 brakes4 handlingCons-1 better headlight performance2 5th gear is missing3 poor headlight visibility4 needs better mileage

Well balanced and fun bike
1 year ago
Bhaskar Das
I've been riding this bike since the 1st of January 2021 and till now I've ridden more than 50000km. Although the bike looks like an aggressive street, it's quite comfortable in almost all kinds of situations. Be there the usual traffic, highways, rough roads filled with potholes, or even the sharp corners. The bike is easy to maneuver and that gives the rider a big boost in riding confidently. The engine is quite refined(as expected) and doesn't ride like it's only focused on speeding like some bikes that won't move until it's over 4000rpm(if you know what I mean). The bike will try to assist the rider as much as it can in every gear to make it a comfortable ride. Fun machine. But don't mistake it for a slow 250cc. It can overtake almost every bike of its own segment of naked 250 almost in an instant because of its low and mid-range power. That also helps the bike in traffic and corners or riding in hills. Basically, it's a very well-balanced 250cc that can also be great for beginner riders. Now the cons.. of course, there will be some. The bike has a 5-speed gearbox. Which is good for city rides and provides mileage because of it, but on straight highways, you're going to miss the sixth gear. Although I've reached the top speed of 147kmph on my bike very recently so maybe there is a possibility it can go to 150kmph. The second con is the smoothness of the gearbox.
