Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I want to ask which is the best bike for daily 60km ride daily? Confused between a Thunderbird and Avenger 220. The issue is I found a lot of vibrations in Tthunderbird any other suggestion is welcome.
  • I own a Avenger 220 Cruise. Must tell you the ride is really comfortable and no vibrations or difficulty in traffic. Can easily maneuver in traffic. Two things I don\'t like is the long wheelbase makes turn radius more, which becomes difficult while taking you turns or changing to the opposite lane. Second is pick up is average for a 220 cc engine. Rest: Low Maintainence Cost, Spare parts availability, Bajaj Service Center Availability , Pretty Good Mileage of around 25-30 Kmpl and The Best Is You can go on Long Drive in comfort, No Back Pain, Less Vibration, Less Fuel Stops and the best Cruising at 80kmpl comfortable and enjoy the Ride. Now my friend also has a Thunderbird. Same as known problems, Vibrations, Mileage Problem, High Service Charge, comparatively less service center availability and the biggest concern is the spare parts cost. Average Pick Up. Which means you\'ll struggle overtaking. Thunderbird although gives you a very much comfortable ride except for the vibrations. For daily commute, I wouldn\'t Suggest a Thunderbird. For a daily commute of 60km, you can go for Avenger 220 Street or Cruise. Other options would be NS 200 or Yamaha FZ or New Gixxer is also good I guess.

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

    Impressive bike with high torque 

    Yamaha FZ 25 gives very good braking and the stability is brillant and the suspension is good for both comfort and stability. The finishing is very good but the instrument cluster is not good for readable. It is great also for top speed and it produce high amount of torque and the pickup is very impressive and smoothly and with less price i like this bike. The mid range of this bike is very amazing and it compete with 200 cc bike and is a very amazing bike for both city and for the highway.

    Good Bike 

    It offers comfort both in city and on highways, making it a great choice in the 250 cc segment due to its affordability and performance. The mileage is impressive, averaging around 40 on highways and 35 in the city. Its dual-channel ABS enhances braking power significantly, making it safer to ride. The FZ25 is also suitable for long rides. However, its maintenance costs are higher compared to other bikes in its class. One drawback is the lower ground clearance, and it lacks a gear shift indicator. Additionally, it has an oil-cooled engine. I have faced an issue where the engine malfunction indicator lights up after the bike is washed with water.

    The Affordable Bike 

    I purchased the Yamaha FZ 25 a year prior for my everyday requirements. It has been a tomfoolery and down-to-earth bicycle. Fueled by a 249cc oil-cooled motor the FZ 25 offers sufficient power for city riding and parkways. the suspension is on the stiffer side however absorbs knocks acceptably. The mileage of around 35 to 40 km is great for a cruiser in this portion. The plate brakes offer great slowing-down execution. the seat is somewhat agreeable. The FZ 25 is a reasonable bike for fledglings searching for a tomfoolery ride. As far as the plan, it looks present-day and engaging, highlighting Yamaha's mark styling. Under the seat, there's a 249cc motor. It's not the most remarkable, yet it's effective for everyday rides and periodic excursions. It is ideally suited for voyaging city roads. Solace-wise, it is intended for both short rides and agreeable. The seat is agreeable, and the riding position is upstanding. In rundown, the Yamaha FZ 25 is a down-to-earth and reasonable bicycle.

    Awesome Bike 

    I own this bike, It has been 7 months. It is the best, No bike in this segment can beat this in the city, It has amazing torque. It runs so silently, And when you pull the throttle, It suddenly roars, and everyone starts looking at you, And goes 0 to 100 in 8.56 seconds. It is very comfortable, I have travelled for 6 hours covering about 250 km, and In which last 21 hours I rode it continuously for 50km. Still didn't get back pain or tired. Everything is amazing about this bike except one thing, Which is a self-start. When the engine is hot after running or due to keeping under the sun, it never starts at one self-start, You will have to do 2 to 3 times. Suppose your bike is running and hot and you turn it off, After 10 minutes you again come back and start it, It won't start because the petrol becomes vapor.
