With people who tries to take more VFM (considering the price for the CC), they may jump to the 250 mill. Mileage figures might be around 35-40, considering the amoubt of power it generates for a 250 mill and its not short geared like the R15 either.
    I have a feeling that it might be short geared to give that initial punch.

        The R15 is a different class of motorcycles. Despite being around for 8 + years, it still is a more advanced product than the Fz25. And I wouldn't be surprised if the performance levels are comparable too, despite the '100' cc difference. I've actually seen the R15 smoke some of the available 200s in the market. The gearing on that is great too with the additional 6th on it providing excellent highway cruising capability.

        The Fz25 though, will no doubt prove to be a simple, reliable, street oriented motorcycle just like the smaller FZS.

          India is a market where more 90% of motorcycles are still air-cooled. I agree it is an age old technology but it is cost effective at the same time.

            No offense, but still i feel the price is little bit on higher side considering it is a localized produced and the competitors they offer ( NS/RTR - with 4V).

            Tech wise this is not so different than ZMR.

                Can you please mention which 200 it smokes it has a only advantage and that's its aerodynamics

                  Tech wise this is not so different than ZMR.
                  FZ 25' advantages over ZMR:

                  1> Much better and bigger tires.
                  2> More power and torque
                  3> Better chassis which means better handling
                  4> Mono shock suspension.
                  5> Less weight
                  6> LED headlamp
                  7> Much smoother engine. (Ist gen zmr was a gem but current gen zmr spoiled the party with so many issues and problem)



                  PS: I am a huge fan of original karizma. Hero should launch it again with fuel injection and better tires priced at 95k ex-showroom. I am sure original karizma can still pull better sales than those plasticky new karizma twins.

                    What about the deltabox frame? Superior engine with Nikasil coated pistons? Gearing? Weight distribution, better brakes? Those don't count as advantages? Engineering wise, the R15 is a superior product.

                    And in capable hands, I've seen the R15 outpace the NS 200, the RTR 200 as well and the Pulsar 220. A 150cc hitting a top whack of 140kmph is not to be scorned at too.

                        It cannot outpace a NS200 I am certain of that ns is way more powerful than R15 I've lived with a R15 for a year. My friends have NS200. Can't even keep up with them. But the top speed I agree with you.But reliability wise YAMAHAS shadows BAJAJ

                            I don't like the vibrations it produces after 5000rpm and the way it sounds after 40-50 mins of high speed riding.

                              Agree with you brother.Build quality is also a bummer but the performance NS200 gives Is a bang for every buck you spend i think If I'm please correct me don't hesitate

                                I am sure the definition of performance is much different for both of us
