ll2 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 here we go. it is fully official and full specs. http://www.rushlane.com/yamaha-yzf-r25-price-specs-features-photo-gallery-12118893.html http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/production-yamaha-r25-finally-unveiled/25018.html They say, Yamaha sold 2800 of them within 25 hours!!! Good things: 36 hp engine, dual discs at front and good design. Bad things: A bit porky at 166 kg and low torque at high rpms. But i think it will sell well. Same Thai websites claim a price of 140 - 150 k thb which is good if you ask me. Good job yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes I am hoping they sell in Thailand. Not that I am buying but would like to see them here in Thailand 166kg is not bad for a twin IMHO still a good 6kg under other twins like Ninja And only 2kg more than Honda 300 single cylinders but with 20% more hp Fair trade for the power & 14k reline I think Am looking forward to some real world reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our expectation levels are rising:) 14k rpm redline and shift light is great! But no slipper clutch i guess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yamaha R25: First Review Albeit one of those Indian reviews with little actual meat does have some photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The video reads 32.26 whp but I am seeing 30.7 tops? Of course that is still good for a 250 but just noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Bit more rumors. Would be nice if Kawasaki went with the 4 cyl small engine rumor & Yammie with this Yamaha R3 320cc sports bike with 3 cylinder engine rumour? Also another bit about the R25 vs others Noodles in 2 minutes, Yamaha R25 in 3! Edited July 13, 2014 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttakata Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Seems like it will be the best 250 in Thailand although the CBR will still probably outsell it. I hope they make a stylish naked version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Is the R25 available in TL yet? I have seen and ridden the R15. I want the R25 with Blue and White paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard-BKK Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) i think we might see it at the motor expo bangkok end of November. You probably will see a 250cc with off-road tires from Yamaha, but I doubt that you will see the YZF-R25...

Ridercnx808 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 When I test rode the R15, the dealer said the R25 is coming end of year or at beginning of the new year, also said price would have to be middle ground in order to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Bell Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The R15 looks very impressive (big) from the front. I don't think I'd be happy climbing onto something with such a low amount of HP though. The R25 could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridercnx808 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The low end power feels almost the same to the cbr 250, the R15 has much stronger lowend than the cbr150. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Rosewater Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just what Thailand needs, more 250's. After riding a 125 for years and switching to a cbr 250 I was amazed For my size a 250 is perfect for bkk; light and maneuverable enogh and power when u need it Glad to see Yamaha back in the game, used to love my tzm 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about in the flesh. From the front it looks a lot bigger than 150cc and needs a double take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The low end power feels almost the same to the cbr 250, the R15 has much stronger lowend than the cbr150. no, cbr250r gives its maximum torque of 23 nm at 7000 - 7500 rpm but yzf r 250 is giving 22,6 nm it at 10,000 rpm. honda is more like a real world bike with more commuting credentials and yzfr250 is more like a rev happy machine. but yes, r15 has more low down grunt bc it is a sohc bike so not revvy in nature. Iike the design of these small cc yamahas and expect a lot from yzfr250 or maybe that rumored r320 three cylinder might released i hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the R15 lowend compared to the CBR 250, and notice how I said: ' almost '. I actually test rode one and I own a CBR 250.

LL2 says that Yamaha will likely introduce the YZF-R25 at a motorcycle show in November, I say, if Yamaha Thailand will introduce a 250cc it would be an off-road machine (which would probably not even be road legal, as if they would introduce a road legal 250cc off-road it would already needed to have pass Thai environmental, emissions and road safety testing).

Trying to read into your response, are you saying that you doubt they will release a YZF R25 to Thailand and all we will receive here is the R15?

It did have me raise an eyebrow being I test rode the R15 and liked it quite a bit but the dealer said the R25 was coming but they were not sure what time. They guessed the end of the year. So it contradicts what Richard stated. They mentioned nothing about an off-road moto. They already make some pretty nice aftermarket stuff for the new R series. Titanium exhaust and few other nice upgrades. I also heard through the rumor mill a power commander will be out to play with to gain a few more HP.

Richard-BKK Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 First I only say that it's unlikely that the Yamaha YZF-R25 will be shown at a motor show in November. It's likely that the motorcycle which Yamaha will launch to compete against the Honda 300cc and Kawasaki 300cc will be launched in early 2015, and maybe Thailand will never see the 250cc version and steps in at the 300cc as many people expect. Yamaha Thailand will launch before the end of the year 2 (four-stroke) motocross bikes, one 250cc and a 450cc, the model is currently not 100% clear. I will receive the parts catalogs one 6 of 7 October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
