Yamaha R25 First Impression

The Japanese auto major Yamaha has finally unveiled the prototype of the awaited Yamaha R25 at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show 2013. Instead of taking inspiration from YZF-R1 like YZF-R15, the new prototype is based on the company's MotoGP racing machine YZR-M1. So the bike is based on the concept- "a superbike you can ride every day".

The bike uses a new 249cc, 4-stroke, liquid cooled, inline twin engine with fuel injection on a lightweight, slim and compact chassis. Mated with a six speed gearbox, the engine is expected to churn out a maximum power output of around 34bhp. Overall dimensions of the prototype are 2,000mm X 720mm X 1,140mm (Length X Width X Height).

The Yamaha R25 is positioned as an entry-level performance sport bike for developed markets like Japan and Europe, and as a top performance sport bike for emerging markets, primarily throughout Asia.
