I did it all out with hard panniers, a tall windscreen and auxilliary lights. It turns the FZ25 into a proper mini–tourer.

Keep it light. Most trips will do with a tank bag and a tail bag. The best way to handle the FZ25 is when it’s not weighed down.

Concentrate on the rider more than the bike. Any bike mods are nothing compared to good gear, especially a helmet you don't want to take off, and riding pants that fit.

Long rides were vastly more comfortable with a slightly taller handlebar and a footpeg lowering kit.
Can the FZ25 keep up with modern 200cc sport bikes?
10 January 2025 08:03
I mean, modern 200cc bikes like the Apache RTR 200 4V can match up with the FZ25 in most situations. The 50cc extra doesn't make a big difference.

Mid range punch and highway cruising are still the FZ25’s forte. The buzzier 200cc engines are more relaxed at higher speeds.

I've ridden both and the 200cc bikes actually feel more nimble and eager in city traffic. But not necessarily faster, the FZ25 is smoother.

Straight line speed isn't all of it. Because of its better stability, more relaxed ergonomics, the FZ25 is a better all-rounder for daily use and touring.

Some 200cc sport bikes are now the way to go for pure performance. However, the FZ25 is not all about numbers. It’s the whole package.

That depends on the riding you do. A nippy 200cc would be better for city experience. The FZ25 still has an edge for mixed riding which includes highways.
Is the Yamaha FZ25 really discontinued or is it just waiting for a comeback?

I think Yamaha is just regrouping. They wouldn’t abandon the 250cc segment entirely because the FZ25 was a solid bike. They must be working on a major overhaul.
Is the Yamaha FZ25 really discontinued or is it just waiting for a comeback?
