Yamaha Fazer 25 Launch: Highlights

A highly surprising yet much awaited launch for the year, the Yamaha Fazer 25 is now on sale in the country priced at Rs. 1,29,335 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The new quarter-litre offering is the Japanese auto giant's second launch for 2017 and is essentially the full-faired version of the Yamaha FZ25 that was introduced this March. The new Fazer 25 shares its cycle parts and mechanicals with the FZ25, while the styling is all-new on the motorcycle. Yamaha termed the FZ25 as an evolution of the FZ-16 that arrived over a decade ago and the new Fazer 25 emerges an evolved version of the Fazer 150 motorcycle.

Unlike the half-faired Fazer 150, the new Yamaha Fazer 25 gets an all-new full fairing with a single LED headlamp cluster, LED DRLs, and a massive full fairing for a muscular appearance. The 14 litre fuel tank remains the same while the split seat setup is said to be a lot more comfortable. The all-digital instrument cluster from the FZ25 has been carried over on the new Fazer. Yamaha has positioned the new Fazer 25 as a tourer friendly offering.
