Yamaha has taken the wraps off the FZ25 Thor Edition in Brazil. The motorcycle, which is a special version gets a graphics theme inspired by the Marvel character. So, it sports red and blue with golden highlights that feature on the headlamp cowl, tank extensions and side panels too. Then there are lighting graphics and ‘Limited Edition’ to denote that this one’s special. However, apart from the livery, the Yamaha FZ25 Thor Edition remains the same mechanically and in terms of bodywork too. Sporting a brawny fuel tank with faux air vents in its tank shrouds and a radical-looking full-LED headlamp, the FZ25 does have a good road presence. And underneath this styling is a 249cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor.
Yamaha has priced the 2022 FZ 25 at Rs 1.38 lakh. Meanwhile, the FZS 25 comes in at Rs 1.43 lakh. In comparison, the KTM 250 Duke is priced at Rs 2.28 lakh, but boasts of a performance focused engine and slightly premium cycle parts.

User Reviews for Yamaha FZ
A damn good street fighter
The bike appeals to riders of all ages. Beginner-friendly bike. The power delivery doesn't scare you but has enough oomph. Capable to cruise at 100 kmph . You can roam in the city even at 5th gear. At around 4k rpm you can feel the torque rush. Very comfortable seat( both Rider and pillion ). Mileage is great for a 250cc (33 and 40kmpl at city and highway respectively) Although lightweight, it gives you a big bike feel due to the fuel tank. Instrument console could have been bigger but you will get used to it. Headlamp illumination is ok for city use although being an LED. Auxiliary lamps would help it for highway rides at night The suspension is set towards comfort side Tyres although wide enough, not recommended for hardcore cornering. Pricing is the BOMB here. It's cheaper than R15 and MT 15.
Best Features: Looks, Pricing
Pros: Toque rush , Mileage , Exhaust note
Cons: Instrument console, Tyres
Reliability of a Japanese machine.
made by Yamaha. It's Japanese, end of the argument. Yes, there are other cool bikes in the price range. But This machine will keep running while other brands bikes are guaranteed to blow up at some point since that seems to be happening everywhere.
Best Features: Fat sexy tyres, Yamaha badging.
Pros: Well built quality & refined engine. Fat rear tyres
Cons: Boring instrument console.
FZ25 is a good bike at this price range
On papers, it looks pale but has very nice acceleration because of light weight.
Best Features: Acceleration
Pros: 250 cc bike at this price
Cons: No ABS, even not as option
Boycott Yamaha FZ25
Suddenly I noticed a review video on YouTube about headlight and instrument console. Yamaha shows that their focus is on money and performance. The instrument console is so odd that Hero Glamour's console is much better than this one.
Best Features: 46 teeth sprocket
Pros: looks, handling.
Cons: low hp, worst headlight, stupid instrument console
A Good Option, But strictly for Yamaha fans!
The Yamaha FZ25 is a very decent offering, a first of a kind in the segment. It is powered by a 249 cc engine which generates a maximum power of 20.69 bhp @ 8000 rpm and gives out a maximum torque of 20 Nm @ 6000 rpm. Also being priced at INR 1,19,500 ( ex-showroom Delhi ) it is a pretty affordable value for money option. Although the bike is no match for the performance of Benelli TNT 25 in the 250 cc segment, it costs 60K less then it's Benelli rival.Yamaha FZ25 is strictly for the fans of the brand and the followers of Yamaha FZ series. Other features such as LED headlamps and tail lamps add to the value of the bike. But I believe that the bike could have been made to look a little bulkier just like the classic FZ-16. All in all the bike does not disappoint either at this price.
Best Features: Digital Instrument Console, Oil cooled Fi Technology Engine, LED Headlamps
Pros: Pricing, Fi Technology, Digital Instrument Console, Mileage
Cons: Lack of an ABS, Less Than Bulky Looks, Performance not upto the mark
