The FZ 25
Yamaha introduced the FZ in India in 2008. The motorcycle proved to be a huge success owing to its street-naked character and Yamaha’s gem of an engine. Yamaha launched the FZ 25 in 2017 in order to offer an affordable mid-class naked motorcycle. The FZ 25 features an air-cooled, fuel-injected 249cc engine. It produces 20.6 bhp of power at 8000 rpm and 20 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm. FZ 25 has a kerb weight of 148 kgs. It's light weight when paired with that kind of an engine makes the motorcycle extremely easy to manouevre.
