Design and Style
Yamaha YZF-R25 borrows some design clues from its bigger siblings R1 and R6. The borrowings include the reverse-slant twin headlights along with the pilot light in between that imparts a sharper look. An air duct present in between the lights is reminiscent of the M1 Moto GP, a racer bike. While the LED rear lights and shift indicator are perfectly identical to those found in the Yamaha YZF-R1. The bike uses the tubular diamond frame that offers easy to use ergonomics. A multi-fold wraparound full fairing gives the R25 a muscular profile. The edgy design of the fuel tank carries forward the R-series language and subtle knee recess. The bike looks bulkier than it is in reality and can be easily mistaken as 600cc motorcycle. The stubby muffler and Y-spoke alloy wheels gives the R25, a unique look. The overall look of R25 is quite impressive and pleasant that turns heads of many masses.
Instrument Panel
Yamaha YZF-R25 comes with a LCD instrument console that features a digital speedometer, digital dual trip meter, digital fuel-gauge, odometer and indicators for pass-light, low fuel and low oil. It has a white based, analogue tachometer along with an illuminating red colored needle. The panel also features a revv limiter light for better illumination.

The R25 comes with a length of 2090 mm, width of 720 mm and a height of 1135 mm as its dimensions. It weighs around 166 Kg. The bike features a chunky fuel tank with a capacity of 14.3-litres.

Yamaha YZF-R25 is powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled engine which pumps out a maximum power of 35.5 bhp at 12000 rpm and a maximum torque of 22.1 Nm at 10000 rpm. This 2-cylinder, 8-valve, 4-stroke, DOHC engine is mated to a six speed manual transmission and a wet, multi-plate clutch system. It has a bore and stroke of 60 and 44.1 respectively.
Brakes and Suspension
The R25 has 298 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc brakes for effective braking. The telescopic suspensions at the front and swing-arm at the back makes the R25 perfect for uneven roads.
Ride and Handling
The bike has wonderful handling characteristics that offers you a fun ride. The extended wheelbase of 1380 mm gives you a perfect stable and safe ride.

Once launched, Yamaha R25 will compete with the likes of Honda CBR250R, Hyosung GT250R, Kawasaki Ninja 300, Suzuki GSR250S (yet to be launched in India) and KTM RC 200/RC 390.
Out of all these entry-level sport bikes, the main rivals of R25 are Honda CBR250R and Ninja 300. Honda CBR250R is powered by a 249.6cc engine, which generates maximum power of 25 BHP at 8500 rpm and 23 NM at 7000 rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission. Kawasaki Ninja 300 is powered by a 296cc engine, which develops max power and max torque of 39 BHP and 27 NM respectively. The engine of Ninja 300 is also coupled to six-speed transmission.
The price of Honda CBR250R ABS is INR 1.87 lakhs and Kawasaki Ninja 300 is available for INR 3.65 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi, may vary). There is no word on the price of Yamaha R25, but rumours are that it would be priced in the region of 2.50 lakhs to 2.75 lakh rupees. If Yamaha manages to keep the ex-showroom price of R25 around INR 2.5 lakhs, then one thing is for sure, it is going to be a sure-shot hit and will set the sales charts on fire.

best bike 250 cc and giving 35.5 bhp its awesome even some 300 cc bikes don't give so much bhp
Go for it if u want the refined engine and quality ride
Otherwise shut the fuck up...
Comparing single cylinder byk with a double cylinder wont make any sense
lunch date ????????????????
Price Should be Rs 1,50,000.
I agreed, If you want OSM power, style with aggression, so get the Yamaha. YAMAHA IS YAMAHA
After killer R15 & FZ,Late but another knockout punch from YAMAHA. no compare with engine quality and power delivery, Yamaha is Yamaha.
Waiting for the beast r25..pls release soon in India
Waiting for r25 since june 2014. When would it launch in india
When is it launching in india???? Pls reply
ktm duke 390 is best...
Even for a two cylinder bike this seems to be a little overpriced! An ideal price for the R25 should be 2.5lakhs.
Better Go For CBR 400R At That price range
Wats the topspeed r25
Good looking byk but 2 much expensive.
You can buy duke 390 rs. 2.10lk.
And also top speed of over 180
I already inquired about the R25 at the Yamaha authorized dealer in Mumbai and their response was that it's not slated for India but only in Indonesia and Malaysia. So well we'll have to make do with either Ninja300R / KTM RC390 or Honda CBR250R - 300R
