Yamaha FZ25 launched in India: Price, specifications, features

Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt Ltd has launched its newest offering called the Yamaha FZ25 that will compete with motorcycles from Bajaj and Honda in the 250-300cc segment in India. The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer has added some extra punch in the old FZ by giving it a facelift and a larger 249cc engine along with a competitive price tag of Rs 1,19,500 (ex-showroom Delhi).And the focus is on that redesigned engine. It is a completely redesigned air-cooled 249cc 4-stroke, 2-valve motor that is mated to a high-torque, fuel-injected system to deliver a peak torque of 20Nm.[caption id="attachment_359079" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Image: Yamaha Motor India (Facebook)[/caption]The new engine is a development that comes from Yamaha's New Generation Engine Development Ideal called 'Blue Core'. The Blue Core ideology focusses on fuel efficiency and acceleration and this results in the claimed 43 km/litre that Yamaha has optimised for India, keeping in mind the Indian traffic and the new emission compliances.The motorcycle shares plenty of similarities with the FZ in terms of design, stance and layout and comes with some redesigned bits that make it look more attractive than the FZ. These new additions would include the LED headlight, a lightweight construction that weighs in at just 148kg and some new colour options (Ballistic Blue, Warrior White and Knight Black).The Yamaha FZ25 will be available in all Yamaha dealerships across the country starting February.
