Our take on this /// Verdict
The Yamaha FZS 25 BS6 is a compelling option in the 250cc segment, offering a blend of style, performance, and practicality. While it may not be the most powerful bike in its class, its refined 249cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine provides a smooth and peppy ride, especially in the mid-range. The bikes handling is neutral and forgiving, making it suitable for both city commuting and occasional long rides. The suspension, though set stiff, strikes a good balance between comfort and agility. However, the lack of a sixth gear and the absence of advanced electronic aids might be seen as drawbacks. Despite these, the FZS 25s reliability, fuel efficiency, and value-for-money proposition make it a strong contender in its segment.
Price
The Yamaha FZS 25 BS6 is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the FZS 25 is around Rs 1.58 lakh, while the standard FZ 25 is slightly cheaper at Rs 1.53 lakh. On-road prices can vary depending on the state and local taxes, but you can expect to pay around Rs 1.87 lakh to Rs 1.90 lakh in major cities like Mumbai. This pricing makes the FZS 25 one of the most affordable options in the 250cc segment, offering a lot of value for the money. The price hike due to the BS6 update is justified by the improvements in emissions and the overall package that Yamaha offers.

Latest Updates
Tuesday, 24 October 2023 03:38 PM
The Yamaha FZ25 has been discontinued in India due to the inability to meet the new OBD2 emission norms. Despite its moderate specs and affordable pricing, the bikes production has been halted for the past 6-7 months. I think this is a significant loss for those who preferred a rugged and durable motorcycle in the 250cc segment.
Friday, 21 January 2022 09:59 AM
Yamaha India has updated the FZS 25 variant with new colors, introducing Matte Copper and Matte Black options starting January 24, 2022. The FZ 25 variant continues in Racing Blue and Metallic Black colors, priced at Rs. 1,38,800 (Ex-showroom, Delhi). I believe these new colors will attract more buyers looking for a stylish and powerful streetfighter.
Tuesday, 28 July 2020 06:40 PM
The Yamaha FZ 25 and FZS 25 were updated to BS6 emission norms in July 2020, featuring styling revisions, new colors, and additional features. The prices started at Rs. 1.52 lakh for the BS6 compliant models. I think these updates were a good move to keep the bike competitive in the market.
Thursday, 14 November 2019 11:44 AM
India Yamaha Motor issued a voluntary recall for 13,348 units of FZ 25 and Fazer 25 in November 2019 to address an issue related to the head cover bolt loosening. This recall affected 12,620 units of FZ 25 and 728 units of Fazer 25. I believe such proactive measures enhance customer trust and safety.

Discussions and Questions Yamaha FZS 250
What do FZS 250 owners swear by regarding modifications?
15 January 2025 08:30
I honestly think the FZS 250 is pretty solid stock. Apart from that I have just added some frame sliders for protection and a tail tidy to tidy up the rear end. Sometimes less is more.
In 2025, how does the FZS 250 fare as a beginner bike?
15 January 2025 08:30
I think the FZS 250 will still be relevant in 2025 for beginners, but that depends on your goals. It’s great if you’re only going to be riding in the city. If you want to start touring long right away, something a little more highway oriented might be in order.
What is the 2025 FZS 250 community like?
15 January 2025 08:30
The FZS 250 community is one of the best things about the FZS 250, everyone is so helpful with DIY repairs. There’s always someone who’s dealt with that weird noise or electrical gremlin before, and is happy to share their knowledge.
Is the Yamaha FZS 250 still relevant in 2025?
15 January 2025 08:30
It depends on what you’re looking for, I think. If top end performance and the latest tech is what you seek, then maybe you should look elsewhere. If you want a reliable, no nonsense bike that’ll last for years though, then the FZS 250 is still a solid choice.
What is long distance touring like on the FZS 250?
15 January 2025 08:30
While it’s decent for weekend getaways, if you’re looking to do a longer tour I’d prefer something with a little more oomph. Around town, the FZS 250 is great, but on a long highway run it starts to feel a little stressed.

A damn good street fighter
Sarvasha - | 3 years ago

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.

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.

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

A Good Option, But strictly for Yamaha fans!
Naman Vashisht | 8 years ago

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
