The FZ25 is now cheaper than the Yamaha MT-15!
In a surprise move, Yamaha India has announced a massive drop in the prices of the FZ 25 duo. Now, the standard Yamaha FZ 25 costs Rs 1,34,800 while the FZS 25 has been priced at Rs 1,39,300, which is Rs 18,800 and Rs 19,300 less than the earlier pricing. Despite the price reduction, no changes have been made to the equipment. So, what prompted the Japanese manufacturer to slash prices?
Yamaha Motor India states that the increasing input costs had shot up the ex-showroom prices of the bike. However, the brand has managed to bring down these input costs and consequently, reduce the pricing of its offerings. But is there more to it than just rising manufacturing costs?

The 250cc segment in India hasn’t been quite a moneymaker for manufacturers, despite attempts from brands such as KTM, Suzuki and Bajaj. Yamaha kicked off the segment but soon found itself outshined by competition. Though the Japanese brand has tried to give the bike a new lease of life with the BS6 update, it hasn’t worked in its favour. Yamaha managed to sell only 182 units of the FZ 25 in April. In comparison to 1,089 units of the KTM 250 Duke and 250 Adventure, 461 units of the Bajaj Dominar 250, the bike’s sales numbers are quite low.
The Yamaha FZ 25 falls short on features as well as performance, and despite its good refinement and comfortable ergonomics, it’s best suited as a commuter. To know more details about the Japanese quarter-litre warrior, read our road test review. With the new pricing, the FZ 25 is now affordable than the Yamaha MT-15, which is priced at Rs 1.39 lakh. The next affordable bike from the 250cc segment is the Suzuki Gixxer 250 that carries a price tag of Rs 1.67 lakh (ex-showroom). Will the price difference tempt buyers to go for the FZ 25?
Yamaha FZS 25 User Reviews
- Shoud you buy FZs 250 or not
I liked the styling and in that price point it is a good choice considering overall performance. In city the torque of the bike feels so good the acceleration is superb and its very underrated machine. The rides are good but when it comes to comfort the handle bar is wider to you have to make your arms wider and the seat cushion is stiffer. The only thing I like about this bike is the torque nature. It accelerates quickly and overtaking becomes easy. The brakes are decent enough but not the greatest. No, I would not recommend this bike as many other options are also available because the issue in its battery was a very bad experience for me. The battery of the bike was damaged and the bike suddenly stopped many times and this is the problem many users are facing yes, if you are considering a bike under 2lakhs 250cc go for it.

The Yamaha FZS 25's outstanding performance and eye-catching appearance convinced me to buy one. One particularly memorable adventure was a solo drive to a seaside town. Strong engine and cozy ergonomics of the FZS 25 made the lengthy trip pleasurable. Riding the coastal routes with the magnificent vistas and sea breeze was a freeing experience. Stability and agile handling of the bike guaranteed an enjoyable and safe ride. This trip confirmed how much I enjoy the FZS 25, a bike that makes every ride an adventure by fusing comfort, power, and style
