Top End Speed low, Lack of 6th Gear.

Top End Speed low, Lack of 6th Gear.

I did my bike's first service at 1050 km. After first service for few days engine was feeling smooth but after some time it started to feel same as before. It starts vibration at 6000 rpm. My other concern is related to lack of 6th gear or "top speed end". If you ride this bike in city up-to 80-90km/hr than it feels "OK" but If you ride on highway above 100km/h you feel like bike is struggling to get top end. So there should be 6th gear definitely. One of my good friend having Mahindra mojo(has 6th gear) decided to ride along. Mojo was very smooth till 100km/h and higher in 5th gear but fz25 was struggling. No doubt Fz25 reaches 120+ km/hr but not that much smoothly.

Now the point is should you buy this bike or not ?? Because in same price you have other options like RS-200, NS-200. The reasons to buy: Yamaha build quality. Build quality of this bike is very strong/high. You can ride roughly without worry. No heat issue, Mileage is really good( My bike is giving 40km/ltr), looks great. In this price segment quality+mileage wise+ "YAMAHA" :-) this is best. I feel only lack of 6th gear.
