      Wow.. Congrats mate. Wishing you many happy miles! It's good to know an owner's initial impressions. I guess the gears will become more smooth after first service and clocking more than 1000-1500 kms.

      I might go for a test-ride today afternoon at Vavin showroom, Chennai. Hope I can bring some perspectives.

      Cheers!

          Good for some relaxed ride even for 5 speed.

            My hunt was on to buy a 200+ CC bike and I zeroed in on Pulsar NS200 , Apache RTR 200 and Yamaha FZ25.I went to test drive all of them but could get my hands on NS200 and Apache only. Both the bikes has that initial surge as mentioned in all the reviews but for me somehow I found it difficult to ride. Maybe I am not in touch since almost an year and was driving Pulsar 150(2006 model) before that or maybe the seat height was a problem(My height is 5.6). I then went to yamaha showroom and asked for the test ride , but it wasn't available. The dealer was kind enough to allow me to sit on on of it's bikes. I sat and immediately felt connected to the bike (seat height might have been the reason ) . The fit and finish of the bike screamed premium and the look was beastly . Once I get to test ride the bike will book it most probably (black colour).

                Agree. I have ridden FZS V2 for a short while and the experience was great. Becoming a yamaha fanboy already

                  Well, I saw it here yesterday as well. At 1.36 OTR, it sounds like a great deal - but frankly I didn't find it premium as such. Could be easily mistaken as one of those FZ16 versions, RTR 200 is feature-loaded and looks much better IMHO. BTW, since it is FI - I asked about low-fuel warnng and showroom guy informed met that it's not there. Is it even possible to not have low fuel indicator for an FI motorbike?

                  I am going to try this one though and see if I find it comfortable, no news yet on CBR 250!

                    In yamaha bikes with FI, generally low fuel warning is denoted by blinking of last fuel bar. When that last fuel bar blinks it means bike has started using reserve fuel and F trip starts.

                      What about the Dominar? You didn't like it?

                      Forget CBR 250 upgrade. If it's gonna happen, Honda will announce.

                        build quality wise i say its on par with dominar.

                        i personally felt it below fz16 ver 2. still very good but not the kind for which yamaha can charge a premium.

                        ergo and ease of use though are in a league of its own.

                          I have noticed some cost cutting measures in the bike which should not be there.Yamaha has used plenty of push type clips to attach panels.All of the same small size.Two from the rear tail piece fell off on very first day--and now I have replaced those 2 with oversized one and now its perfect.Also replaced another two over rear wheel with oversized clips.All other small size push clips have been replaced by better quality push clips from Maruti service centre.

                          Smoothness of the engine while on the go is awesome----anything other than the exhaust note is hardly audible.But the case is not the same at idling.
                          Recommended engine oil grade 10w40.Service interval 5000 km(1st at 1000 km).
                          I am 5'11" and I found the bike perfect ergonomically for me.Have adjusted the clutch cable myself and the gear shifting is much better now.

                                Do you feel the need of sixth gear?any vibration at higher speeds like 100-110?
