Yamaha FZ25 Price in Thalassery

Fz25 is a good bike, for all our purpose, we can do commuting, touring, family use, college use everything. I think yamaha is not promoting this bike as well as mt 15 ,r15, etc . Yamaha have to give 4 valve, 6th gear , more information in display, slipper clutch, and 23,24 bhp power, to fz25. Fz25 is a air+oil cooled engine, the oil cooling is giving better cooling to this bike, no need of liquid cooling for fz25.

About the Reviewer

I decided to buy this bike last December on a whim. I had done no research on the bike prior to that. I decided i would buy this bike for 2 main reasons: its the cheapest 250cc in the market and it has the reliable brand name of yamaha attached to it. But during that time, most of the showrooms (if not all) around the country had no stock of fz25 and they were waiting for the next consignment of fz25 to arrive in 2 or 3 months. I was ok with the waiting period, so i decided I'd do some research on the bike and understand more about what the bike has to offer. I interacted with fz25 users in forums, social media and in my city to get their feedback. After my thorough research, i figured out one main point, yamaha India doesn't offer the same kind of quality it did a decade back.
Majority of the users i spoke to complained about the bike having ignition problems, engine tappet noises, poor paint quality and poor headlight visibility. But i still didn't care, my heart was set on this bike because the bike fitted my requirement for touring (upright position, good mileage, soft suspensions, more than enough torque and power for our roads).
But the deal breaker was when i finally went to look at the new batch of fz25s that had arrived. I was shocked to find the plastics on the side panels and tail section to be very very cheap! the tail section of the bikes was loose and flimsy. I could literally pull the side panels out (they weren't nailed in)! right next to it was an r15 v4 m and that bike looked premium in comparison, even the plastic used for the body was of high quality. Such kind of low quality standards I'd expect from a Bajaj or an enfield, but never from such a reputed brand like yamaha who are known globally for making high quality affordable bikes. Yamaha India is coasting off of the goodwill the company has earned over the decades and releasing subpar bikes here. All the above reasons have stopped me from booking this bike. It is definitely a value for money bike for what it offers at that price point, but it won't have the typical quality that a yamaha is known for.
