Q. Is this bike worth to buy? Please help me to know any pros. and cons. about this bike or any other bike in this segment. - FZ 25?
  • Bro. I've owned this bike for around 2 years now. The bike is great and everything. Its good a good and peppy engine. Great milage considering the power it has. Extremely comfortable seats. The main downside i came across was the weak headlight unit. You could very well get an aftermarket LED fitted on it or go for fog lamps. 6th gear is a problem only when the bike is pushed hard. In normal city driving and highway runs you won't need a 6th gear. The service and maintenance cost of the bike is very less as with all Yamaha bikes. Also it is ultra reliable and won't need too many services
  • Hello. The 2019 model gets dual channel Abs.
  • Pros- Good pickup, Nice accelerating, Good for both city and highway driving. mileage in best with 250 cc segment and it's almost low budget bike in 250 cc also. service center available everywhere cons- Air cooled Bike, little problem in engine hitting specially on long drive and on summer season. Old and 1st model don't have ABS that's a badluck. silencer got rusted with more heat power from engine and even after repeated paint by the showroom still its again looks like iron parts. but still overall it's amazing bike

Q. I am 164 cm tall, I want a bike which is best for city ride and also for often long rides. My budget is almost 1. 5L. Which bike suits me for long term use Apache RTR 200 4V racing, FZ25 or any other?
  • Fz 250 best bike provide best feelable torque... So go ahead fr fz 25 ..shift of gear as much as flexible and ride quality of the bike is more stable and the brakes of yamaha are so belivable and now with more confident abs safety braking system
  • I will say fz 25 is a wish choose, it has a comfortable cruiser alingment that help in long ride without back ache, good torque without any heating issue makes it a good companion in city daily rides...
  • Go with Fz25 it beat for city riding as well as highway cruising

Q. Which one is best in Suzuki Gixxer 250 and Yamaha FZ 25?
  • If you compare the price, I do not feel Gixxer to be better than FZ 25. If any day I would be looking for a bike of Gixxers price I would go for a Dominar 400 or a KTM 250 DUKE(slightly higher price than Gixxer) or a Himalayan. Gixxer should have been priced to compete with FZ 25. We need to compare between bikes of same rates. Gixxer doesn't offer so much more than FZ 25 to be priced so high according to me. Rest it depends on the buyer
  • I have Yamaha FZ25, i like it for its stability braking efficiency and speed. It 2017 model. Now the upgraded model with ABS and improved head lamp is available. I like Yamaha FZ 25. I connot write about Gixxer as i have not driven it.
  • Yamaha FZ 25 is definitely superior bike . Blue core engine is an added feather in the cap. Yamaha has more service centers compared to Suzuki. Provided it is low maintenance bike...

    This bike looking is very nice but not good head light.I think it could have been better.The big problem this bike is it's mileage.Not good mileage in comparison r15.And over pricing bike.But ktm body quality is very good.I hope ktm company will also improve some of these problems.

    Ride quality 

    Really worth the price the ride quality and it's performance it just awesome.The mileage is good in respect to a 125cc motorcycle i really loved it.It has a high seat which causes trouble for short riders like me i am 5.5 ft tall and mostly struggle while taking you turns and at traffic single stop otherwise every thing is fine.Further i could lower the seat height adjusting suspension setup but the service centre told me not to do it as the ktm company has set it by keeping balanced setup any changes in it can make it worse result in accident.I kept it as it though i am struggling but as time passes.I will get accustomed with it and learn.The tricks and techniques to control the bike smoothly.I will recommend any below 5.5 ft height should avoid choosing the ktm bikes.Though below 5.5 ft height guys can drive the bike but it very defficult to cope up.I got a mileage of 40 kmpl on my daily commits.The bike itself is a beast.I love what ever i have got from ktm at the price point neglecting the height factor.I really love it.

    More Customer Reviews of RC 125

  • This bike is a value for money. I have completed 3 trips with my fz25 (Spiti, Bhutan , Sikim Gurdongmar lake) also use it for daily commute (approx 80 km a day) abd I had never faced any problem with my bike. Handling is excellent, mileage is superb (42kmpl) low on maintenance. On the lower side headlights dull in pitch dark. Headlamp should be more powerful,

    Sourav Maity few weeks ago
  • Has a very good torque. In city it's very nimble and for weekend getaways it is good as well. To use in ghat sections its very involving to ride. Softer front suspension and brakes could have been little better. But in the latest ABS version brakes are better.

  • This is one piece of amazing machinery! Great for the daily commute & keeps you pinned either on the highway or on streets!! The exhaust note is intoxicating & the power on tap is awesome!! Every ride feels like the 1st day !! 🙂🤟
