The Yamaha R25 has been one of those bikes that has generated lot of
interest from the word go itself, when the R25 concept was showcased for
the first time at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. It was the same scenario
at the 2014 Auto Expo as the Yamaha stall was swarmed by Indian
two-wheeler enthusiasts and now finally the production spec version has
been unveiled in Indonesia. Yamaha hasn’t confirmed about its plan of
launching the new 250cc bike in our market but ZigWheels has learnt that
a pre-production model of the Yamaha YZF-R25 has already landed on our
shores for testing and R & D purpose. So let’s take close a look at
the Yamaha YZF-R25 and what it has on offer.
Let’s start with styling, one of the main reasons for the
inquisitiveness about the R25 was its M1 inspired styling, the concept
bike possessed. The Indian biker has a soft spot for a full-faired
motorcycle and the R25 wouldn’t disappoint them on this front. The bike
sports a neatly sculpted windscreen below which sits the twin lamp
headlight. The lamps are divided by a small duct that gives the front an
aggressive look. The fuel tank carries forward the edgy design language
with subtle knee recess.
In profile, the bike looks bulkier than what it is in reality and can
be easily passed off as a 600cc, supersport offering. The tail section
is very minimalistic and sharp with the LED taillight being neatly
integrated into it The Yamaha R25 gets equipped with a
part-analogue-part-digital instrument console; it sports an analogue
tachometer and a LCD screen that houses the speedometer, odometer, fuel
gauge and other details. The instrument cluster also features a revv
limiter light. The R25 employs a two-into-one exhaust system with a R6
inspired stubby muffler and Y-spoke wheels. Overall design of the
Yamaha R25 is pleasing and though the lines aren’t as sharp as the
concept bike, it holds its own amongst the company of its quarter-litre
rivals.
One of the highlights of the Yamaha R25 is its powerplant. The 249cc,
parallel-twin, 8-valve, liquid-cooled motor pumps out 36PS at a heady
12,000rpm and torque rating stands at 22.5Nm at 10,000rpm. Power is
transmitted to the rear-wheel via a six-speed gearbox. According to
Yamaha, they have worked on the combustion chamber design to obtain
better mixture of air and fuel thereby resulting in better combustion.
The cylinder of the Yamaha R25 like all Yamaha twin-cylinder offerings
has been built from DiASil (Die casting Aluminum-Silicon) construction,
which apart from reducing the weight of the cylinder also improves heat
dissipation.
