Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Read this news just now and hope the source is wrong, Had been listening to r25 exhaust note in you tube videos from the day its has been launched and dreaming of the twin, Now utterly disappointed.

As per the source its going to be single cylinder.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

^^That's disappointing. One of the strongest points of this bike is its engine, if that too is diluted(along with the other things already known), there'd be no reason to consider the 30PS machine over the 43PS RC390 which would cost roughly the same.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

I don't understand or see any reason for Yamaha to create two engines for the same segment bike. I mean why would they spend their time and money inventing and testing a new engine, when the benefit is negligible and with a drop in performance to boot. Even with single cylinder the bikes got to cost near about 2L INR anyway. Besides, Honda in going to bring CBR300R which could easily take the shine away from the Yamaha's new machine in case they do bring out a single cylinder.
Considering all this I think we would be getting the same version as launched in Indonesia, the thing to watch out for would be the price at which the bike is offered.

Let's wait for the official announcement guys.. We have chewed enough bones..

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

well that'd be such a disappointment then, despite the fact that it'd be a yamaha after all and that 30ps on a single cyl 250 is impressive nonetheless..

but i don't think yamaha's gonna do that...either way, they better speak up something about the indian R25 asap.

if indeed the indian R25 is a single cyl, then i really really hope the (expected) supersport R3 meant primarily for EU/NA is also launched in india, even though the R3 is still probably more than a year at least from becoming a reality even in europe...am in no hurry anyways.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

So far it looks the Japanese strategy is: if its made in India its gonna be a single. If you want twin or better then its a CKD.
Maybe be this might change in the future.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

untrue. complete utter nonsense.

People at yamaha are not idiots to get a bike here and test it and then build a single engine spending lotta money and launch if for india. are they (the article) fking kidding me? news like these really get tempers going high. these people dont even show maturity in writing articles. right now its anyones news, post some masala and get people talking about it. no proper backup only to support the news. and this is the Nth article claiming this, i just dont seem to understand everyday one or the other site posts this just for fun. lol. and that genius says that engine capacity and power of fzs miht be the same. obviously it will be same! they are just changing the fueling dude! why would we see a higher cc engine in a "FZ-16" bike?

BTW not sure how many of you noticed the powerful lights for the r25 and also a better battery.

PS: To people posting posts which have already been posted before, either you have not been following the thread from the beginning (which i understand is tedious but not impossible) or you are just too lazy to even read few posts from earlier.

PPS: to people who are active in RC390 thread and also here(yes i keep checking there also), slamming r25 or making stupid speculations here and creating endless debates and then going to RC thread and commenting nice about it, Please get a life. either discuss something meaningful or dont waste others time. if you are prospective buyer of other bike then please discuss there and contribute in better way just like few prospective buyers of r25 are here. Thanks in advance.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Not sure if this is a small hope that the bike will be same in India too.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Wow. I guess someone wants this thread to be renamed as "Yamaha fanboy thread". I wonder why that wasn't done when it was created. I really laugh at the heights to which some fanboys go when someone even thinks of a small negative point of a vehicle made by their favourite brand. Last time I remember doing that was when I was younger than 10 and riding bicycles. I don't know about the fanboy sites, but xBhp's bike related discussion threads involve discussing both the positive and negative points about a bike. If a new rule was brought in which stated that a news thread regarding a bike's launch should be used only to kiss a bike's ***, my apologies. I guess I'll have to follow that. But I haven't come across any such rule yet. If someone can point me there, I'll be thankful.
Let me say this again, this is xBHP, not some crappy fanboy site where members keep on worshipping a particular brand/model without even mentioning the shortcomings. The fanboys need to stop carrying out their childish acts and get a life. Let us carry out some mature and neutral discussion here without wasting time on non sense one sided favouritism like 10 year old kids.

I hope Yamaha brings in a full set of accessories here and prices it sanely. I hope it doesn't go in the KTM powerparts path. After seeing the kits for R15 and FZ16, it's highly possible that they'll be brought here though.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

So are implying that you are 100% sure that the R25 in India is going to be a twin?
Man! if it turns out to be a single someone's gonna have to run for cover. ;-)

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Its gonna be a twin twin twin....... No doubt in this. Think of what needs to be changed when a bike made for twin is changed to single. It needs different frame ( mounting points ), different ECU, Tacho, exhausts and so on.. Do you thinks its worth doing all this just for sale numbers in one or two countries ?? Nope imo

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

"Yamaha fanboy thread"
Nice suggestion, but i dont think we can do that in xbhp. let me talk to the mods.

FYI i didnt creat the thread. My post in the previous R25 thread was taken and made into to new thread. and i was unaware of it till about few posts was posted here.

Age does not guarantee someone being a fanboy or not. just like it does not guarantee maturity.

I will kiss R25's A** rather than other bike. are you happy with that?

I see that you took my posts as "targeting you". it was a general post to all. since you took it as it was for you then i will say you are found guilty of something. because no one else retaliated like you did and hence my post makes sense. Not boasting about myself but if you go back and read all posts i was the one who gave most accurate info till now and commented to the point and discussion, multiple times also, when few others just kept posting about the same speculation.

Hope i am not wrong i am ready to publicly apologize if i am proven wrong later. if you see right from last year i had told about prototype with twin being made (which was true) and its showcase happening in 2013 end (which was true again) and a launch happening in june (which was untrue since it happened in may ) and also few recent ones being true. the only last thing i would want (or dont want) is the r25 being single cylinder

True. its like making a new bike all together. does not make sense if your new bike is launched at present. maybe in future they might get the single cyl bike like the ninja did.

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Since I was the one who compared it to the RC in the last page and I frequently post in the RC thread, I thought it was directed at me. I am not guilty of anything LOL.
Please ignore that post of mine if your post wasn't directed at me

I hope you can read this before it's deleted

Re: Yamaha R25 Launched in Indonesia

Whoaa !! Lots of fighting over here huh? And that too for a bike which Yamaha has not yet announced for India. This is what happens when Yamaha launches/about to launch a product. Even other manufacturers will be launching their products in the same CC range of 250-400 but no such hype. Why? Because this is Yamaha, brothers. And there is a legacy in Yamaha.

Not even Ron Syl, but I also believe that the bike will be launched in twin and not single. It will make no sense for a single-pot. Yamaha is not going to develop another new engine which requires totally different schematics and engine design. Also Yamaha may have to rethink over the chassis and almost all aspects as all Yamaha products are well thought of, well researched and well tested. So designing a single-pot 250cc bike will require more time and cost which I don't think Yamaha will do and that's not logical also.

And people I request you all, please don't compare with other bikes just for the sake of argument. If you really think/know where more improvements can be made, it would be great for prospective R25 buyers, who can be ready what to expect or how to fix if they face problems in those areas. Till then, Yes !!! Yamaha !!
