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.

Tips for Yamaha FZ25

Avoid parking this bike in direct sunlight and wet/damped area as this may cause starter problems. Always clean & lube chain at every 500 Kms. Get the fuel injector cleaned at every 10k Kms and Throttle Assembly & Fuel Pump cleaned at every 30k Kms. Add Yamaha carbon cleaner fluid to the fuel tank at every service.

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
32 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
48 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

Smooth Comfortable yet Powerful
1 year ago
Sai Kiran
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 week 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
32 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
45 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

Worthy bike

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.
