For the Indian market, the latest version of the Yamaha FZ25 has been launched in India in 2017. The 250 cc is a premium segment in terms of engine output and performance rating in India’s market, Yamaha seems to have taken the challenge pretty well. Youth would love how the body, rear, and frontals are designed with LED headlamps, tail lams, and features like an automatic headlight on when it’s time or the lights get dim. In contrast to Duke 250’s TFT display, the Yamaha FZ25 comes with an LCD instead of a typical instrument gauge. Maximum engine power through the 249 cc engine is 20.9 PS and it can pull off a maximum of 20 Nm of torque. Yamaha FZ 25 is based on a diamond frame. For the Indian market, Yamaha FZ25 doesn’t come with an Anti-lock braking system (ABS) installed.

Pros
