Yamaha FZ25 Design
The new bike has good road presence. It doest have a subtle design like the Yamaha R3. It does come with LED headlamps and daytime running LEDs, muscular fuel tank with sculptures. The front of the bike looks muscular and this is what Yamaha has been using in its teaser as well. There is a large headlamp along with stylish tank shrouds. This makes the bike look bigger and muscular. The stepped seat seems to be wide enough for two people to sit comfortably. As the R15 V2 wasn’t very comfortable for the pillion, it seems Yamaha has made the necessary changes to make the bike appealing. The bike is extremely light as it weighs a mere 148 kilograms. This is because its a diamond shaped chassis, which is light. This enhances performance and mileage both.
