The best street-fighter naked bike available on a budget
Verdict – The Yamaha FZ25 isn’t a machine for every person, however, it’s for the mature audience looking out for everyday practicality and wouldn’t want to miss out on fun on the weekends. The FZ25 fits right in between the younger FZ siblings and the sporty R15. This quarter-litre Japanese motorcycle is a perfect upgrade for current FZ owners while it’s also a great learning tool for new riders. With the macho styling, smooth and powerful engine and with a perfect blend of ride and handling, Yamaha has got an appealing product which is also high on the value for money quotient.

What’s Not So Cool
