Yamaha India will launch the new Yamaha Fazer 250 in India on August 21. The Yamaha Fazer 250 is the touring version of the Yamaha FZ25 streetbike. Unlike the Yamaha Fazer 150cc motorcycle which employs a quarter fairing, the new Fazer 250 will be a full-faired motorcycle and compete against the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 and the soon to be relaunched Honda CBR250R. The new motorcycle will adapt the same LED headlight as seen on its street bike sibling but it will also feature a large windscreen to protect the rider from wind blast at high speeds. Talking about price, we expect the new Yamaha 250cc bike to be priced at a premium of Rs 20,000 over the FZ25 and retail for around Rs 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
The relaxed 250cc engine should make the Fazer 250 a good option for someone looking for an easy to ride and reliable touring motorcycle. Underneath the fairing sits the same 250cc, fuel-injected motor sourced from the FZ25. We doubt that Yamaha will tune the engine further which in stock trim produces 20.9PS of maximum power and 20Nm of peak torque. The engine will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The new Yamaha Fazer 250 will share its underpinnings with the FZ25. Suspension duties would be handled by telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking prowess will be offered by 282mm disc with a 2-pot calliper at the front and a 220mm disc with a single-pot calliper at the rear. We expect Yamaha India to offer ABS as an optional extra on the new motorcycle.
