    coming to the test ride article, so its as we thought initially about the bike being a little pain in city. the proper feel starts after 5k rpm and the fun begins after 8k though i would be unhappy with gear changes in initial speeds, i personally love to revv a lott so i guess the high rpm thingi is tailor made for me . i would say a perfect upgrade after riding the r15v2. headlights are powerful so i see no problems with night ride and touring. the only difference will be the FE, thus shelling out more for fuel.
    No re. I don't think the FE will be that bad. It can't be that low as far as my experience goes. Personally I think it can give out 26-27 kmpl in city and ~30kmpl on highways.

    Regarding the REV thing, we all love to REV. Anyhow, we can keep it under 5k RPM and can go in ECO mode while riding in the cities. But the low torque will mean lots of gear shifting.

    Headlights are one of the best features with 55W power. We know how the 35W R15 headlight feel like. So it's a big welcome part from me.

    22kmpl is not a bad average, I guess the manufacturer would claim around 28-30 for mixed riding, my R15 when it was stock gave me a (proper) average of 35 kmpl for mixed riding, pimped up I got between 24-27 kmpl, pimped up and properly tuned I get around 30-32 kmpl, so I guess most who will use the bike would be looking at a decent 24-27 kmpl on a mixed average, which is quite decent. Still as much as I like this bike, the RC390 seems a way better option (3rd generation, maybe?)

    yup even i would be happy with better FE. it was a little funny when r15 was taken as a benchmark for the FE, thus i said that. i guess the bike was not tested for FE particularly. but i will not be surprised if the FE is same as ninja250/300 or even a little lesser. r25 has proven to be more powerful then the N250 so i guess fe will take a back seat.

    no it doesn't, based on most of the reviews and polls of R15 in the internet. most of the R15s give 35-40 kmpl under normal city riding and 40-45 on prolonged highway rides that dont involve hard accelerations/braking all the time or dont involve prolonged riding at 130 kmph+ .
    Even when i borrow my cousin's R15 i get around 35-36 inside city and it crosses 40+kmpl only on highways.
    The R25's 22kmpl figure is surely low if its average and not track/ rip session mileage, it might also be because of new engine, Need to wait for complete reviews to know more about acceleration, handling and efficiency. Not that people expect splendor like mileage but surely it will be compared to bikes of same segment, atleast it needs to give better the ninja 300 average which is around around 3.5L - 3.8L/100km in most of auto reviews.

    please note, i said "most" of the R15s :-). there are many that get 40+ under city riding and even those that give just 30+ somehow. but all those are in minority statistically speaking based on what most of the reviews in the internet say.

    of course, all this assuming people calculated it right.

    Yea, i also think the same. They must have ripped the bike and so the given FE.

    Rest seems to be good.

    Jakarta - Intrigued by the actual performance of the Yamaha YZF-R25? Certainly, because Yamaha claims far above main rival, the New Kawasaki Ninja 250FI. As long as the unit has been able to test, peel discharged directly deh performance!

    The first test was taken to Sportisi Motorsport in Rawamangun, East Jakarta to measure the force and torque on a Dynojet 250i dynamometer wheel wear.AUTOMOTIVE curious about the claim that power reaches 35.54 horsepower (26.5 kW) / 12,000 rpm and torque of 22.6 Nm/10.000 rpm. After 18 times the run, the best figures obtained 29.43 dk/12.100 Nm/10.200 rpm and 19.2 rpm.

Tested by the tester, putting 173 cm 65 kg disposable Racelogic, a speed of 100 km / h can be reached in just 7 seconds! Cepet really! Then a distance of 201 meters devoured just 9.7 seconds, a distance of 402 meters was 15.5 seconds! That figure is much shorter than its class rivals. The data in the table refer to the full.

    Average fuel consumption directly shown on screen

    One of the advantages R25 is equipped with a complete speedometer, including fuel consumption information that facilitates measurement. Used in a variety of road conditions in and around Jakarta, motorcycles berinjektor 12 holes averaging 4.4 L/100 km requires PERTAMAX or 22.7 km / lt. suspension Soft Talking about the performance of the engine is, further handling.

So that way in the city with convenient traffic conditions still, because it also supported the clutch is very light, soft seat and chassis character according really. It just feels warm thighs exposure to heat engines.





    The rear suspension really soft, delicious little kerasin


    Here he charts R25 dyno results than Ninja 250FI

    The more comfortable because of the soft suspension is designed so that the road met curly so it feels flat. It's just for the fond tight, especially the rear suspension is too soft so that the model monocross boomerang. When the high-speed track in contact with bumpy ass so jog. To slightly reduce the symptoms, monoshock can be hardened 1 to 2 level of standard in position 3, the tool kit in the tool box. •(motor.otomotifnet.com)
