The new BEAST YAMAHA R25

The Yamaha R25 has been one of those bikes that has generated lot of interest from the word go itself. Yamaha has confirmed about its plan of launching the new 250cc bike in our market, So let’s take close a look at the Yamaha YZF-R25 and what it has on offer.

Let’s start with styling, one of the main reasons for the inquisitiveness about the R25 was its M1 inspired styling, the concept bike possessed. The Indian biker has a soft spot for a full-faired motorcycle and the R25 wouldn’t disappoint them on this front.

The R25 houses a 250cc, liquid-cooled, in-line, four-stroke, two-cylinder powerhouse that is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The eight-valve DOHC motor produces maximum power of 35.5bhp at 12000rpm while peak torque of 2.25kgm is made at 10000 revs.

The R25's 166 kg kerb weight is supported by telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear suspension. Stopping power is managed by a single front and rear disc brake, which are mounted onto smart looking ten-spoke alloys finished in black. 

The R25 is available in three colour options – blue, black and red.
