Vehicle Overview

Kawasaki Z250

Z250 Street Fighter is the most affordable Kawasaki bike a person can buy in India. It carries the same 250cc, twin cylinder engine from once on sale Ninja 250, producing 31.5 BHP at 11,000 rpm and 21 Nm at 10,000 rpm. It is very confusing for Kawasaki fans and even many people always think that why are they not bringing the Z300 in place of Z250 in the country. This can even help in more localization of the engine on the Ninja 300. The bike actually weighs 168 kg and claims a top speed of 165 kmph. It rivals no other directly but indirect competition includes Benelli TNT 300.

Yamaha MT-25

Yamaha MT-25 is the street fighter version of R25, which further ends the chances of its arrival on the Indian shores. Yamaha would consider bringing MT-03 in place so that the amount of localization could increase in the coming years. Yamaha MT-25 is powered by a 249 cc, twin cylinder engine producing 35.5 BHP at 12000 rpm and 22.6 Nm at 10,000 rpm. It weighs just 165 kg, performing exceptionally well in its class. The top speed is 170 kmph while the fuel tank measures 14 liters for the motorcycle. It rivals none other than Kawasaki Z250 in its engine segment.
