In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha FZ25, a small-displacement naked motorcycle. The bike was a 250cc derivate of the FZ series, aimed at existing owners, and sold in the Brazilian market under the Fazer 250 designation.
In a test conducted by "MotorBeam," the bike proved to be a versatile machine with smooth performance and excellent engine refinement. In 2019, the maker introduced the third generation of the FZ and FZ-S motorcycles in India.
In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a single headlight unit integrated into a small cowl, a small wind deflector, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a single exhaust system mounted on the right side, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.
The bike was built around a diamond frame, with a telescopic fork and a single brake disc on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear with a single brake disc on the rear, handling the bike's suspension and stopping power.
The 2017 Yamaha FZ25 had its soul brought to life by a 249cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 21 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The power produced by the small engine was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.
