For many Indian motorcycle buyers, reliability is a big factor — especially those who need a daily rider that will also do occasional long trips. Even though the FZ25 has been discontinued, some riders still swear that it is one of the most durable bikes on the road. Recent social media posts featuring posts of FZ25s with high mileage have rekindled discussions about the bike’s long run reliability. It’s a debate that owners and enthusiasts have among themselves, on how it measures up to competition like the Pulsar 250, Gixxer 250, and even smaller bikes like the Apache 200. Maintenance cost, part availability, overall quality of the build are all factors that come into play. It’s a conversation that often includes personal experiences, common issues (if there are any) and how well the bike lasts over time versus its peers.
