The street-naked gets a 20.9hp 249cc engine; it will rival the KTM Duke 200 and the Apache RTR 200.

Yamaha plans on cashing into the current craze for premium motorcycles with its latest offering, the FZ25. Priced at Rs 1.19 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), this Yamaha is a rival to small-displacement naked sports bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 200 and the KTM Duke 200. 

The FZ25 features muscular street-fighter styling like the current crop of Yamaha’s FZ motorcycles; akin to the FZ16. 

Where it differs of course is with its 249cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. This unit makes 20.9hp and 20Nm and the company claims that the bike can deliver up to 43kpl.

The FZ25 comes with LED head-lights, an all-digital LCD instrument cluster and alloy wheels. It, however, doesn’t get ABS as of now, but Yamaha says that the safety-feature will be added when ABS is made mandatory.

It gets disc brakes both up front and at the back – a 282mm unit up front and a 220mm rear disc, and the bike is suspended on telescopic front forks and a monoshock at the rear. 

Expect Yamaha to commence deliveries of the bike in the next couple of months.
