It's a good bike with enormous pickup as equal as its rivals duke 250, Gixxer 250 due to its light weight and 5 speed gear box makes the 1st gear stronger, It also has good curising speed upto 110kmph, And also yamaha provides good service this engine doesn't have any relation with his younger brother fzs v3, They both are different, Fz v3's is not derived from fz25

I own new fzs 25 matt blue.Bike initial pickup is superb.Not yet tried high speed as bike is new.Recently purchased so they have kept the tuning high.Driving is comfortable.Good even for long distance journey.Gives 40 to 45 kmpl in highways.Turning radius is bigger and little uncomfortable if there is space constraint.

Mileage should be problem.Long driving very good comfortable and very good pick-up.It should be giving tough for pulsar-180cc.

Mileage horrible, maintenance cost horrible, ride and comfort-good for the first few years. Say 3 years. Not to mention the poor service centres and mean service personnel.

I purchased yamaha from my friend in january this year it has some major problems and payed some extra amount for that damages
