    Had been on a small ride to Shettihalli Church last weekend and had a chance to ride [MENTION=91768]Terrorbladezz[/MENTION] FZ25 extensively.

    The FZ has oodles of low end torque which I loved. Engine is good enough to provide stress free cruising at 100-110kmph, but I couldn't go to higher speeds as the bike is still being run in and I was varying RPMs. Very good ride quality except for the seats which were too hard for my liking. I finally understood what owners meant when they posted about the rear view mirrors. They present a blurry image above 70kmph. Also noticed the headlight assembly shaking on bad roads.
    [MENTION=91768]Terrorbladezz[/MENTION] commented that my gixxer felt like an electric bike[emoji14], but we can't expect the same refinement in a big single.

    Wish I had waited 3 more months. Just love this machine. Man I envy [MENTION=91768]Terrorbladezz[/MENTION]!



    All those who are planning to visit shettihalli church , go on weekdays if you want to get some good shots of the church and your ride . Too many people in the weekends here

        Bro before my FZ25 I had fzs for 4 years. I have done extended warranty at that time and it did help. My front disk was not working properly after 3.5 yers so I put a complain and due to extended warranty​ they changed it without any fuss. Now with FZ25 if you will do extended warranty within 3 months from the date of purchase by rs.777 you will get every 3rd service free of cost. So if you will calculate it's a great deal. And acceptance of modifications depends on local rapport with the service centre. I did all the possible modifications with my FZs but trust me they never denied.

          Did anyone drove bike during rain?? It was very difficult for the view even after using high beam (light adjusted to the max in asc)

          Not sure if its my perception

            LED lights are bright in pitch dark, but throw will never be comparable to a good halogen bulb in rains/under partly lit conditions.
            Also, avoid using high beam in rains. It would only scatter with rain drops and blind the oncoming traffic even more.
            Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                If possible, don't ride at night during rains. If it's raining heavily during day time, you may want to ride slow or again stop if possible. Our roads aren't just worth the risk, with/without rains.

                    Another spyshot of Fazer 250. Seems like headlight is a single unit

                    Little disappointed with the look, they just added plastic to the FZ headlight assembly. Didnt felt like a Fazer family.

                        Holy shit, is this a design by yamaha ,are you serious? This has to be the ugliest face among the current lineup of faired motorcycles in India. Really disappointed by yamaha.

                          Only thing is that some additional light is there i guess.. On both side of head light

                            People who photoshop and make renders like these have a better sense of design than yamaha.

                              Maybe it will look better in flesh. This is just one picture after all.
                              Are the indicators supposed to stick out of the fairing like that? I feel that's awkward.

                                Yup. Those look like the LED DRLs. This does look like the baby Gixxer SF.

                                Hahaha. Totally agree. They could have given a sharper and wider look to the test mules. But then its a "save money" idea, hence the single headlight assembly.
