Moving into 2025, the motorcycle market is a different place than when the FZ25 was the hot thing. The FZ25 has been around for a while and some riders wonder if the bike still matters as newer models offer newer features and more power. The question is whether the bike is a good value proposition in a market that's changing rapidly. For example, its simplicity, reliability and potential for customization make it a smart choice, supporters argue, especially on the used market. Newer bikes have better power to weight ratios, advanced electronics and more modern design is what critics point to. In many cases, the conversation revolves around a comparison to today’s 250cc offerings, or smaller displacement bikes that may provide similar, or even better performance. When we talk about the 2025 motorcycle landscape, factors such as fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, and the riding experience must be taken into consideration, to determine the place of the FZ25.
