2017 Yamaha YZF-R25 in two new colours – RM20,630

For 2017, authorised Yamaha distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia, has announced two new colour schemes for the quarter-litre Yamaha YZF-R25 sportsbike – Racing Blue and Matte Black. The recommended basic selling price of the YZF-R25 stays unchanged from 2016 at RM20,630, with GST, and is available at authorised Yamaha dealers immediately.

Using a liquid-cooled parallel-twin with four-valves per cylinder, displacing 249 cc, the R25 produces 35.5 hp at 12,000 rpm and 22.6 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. With EFI feeding the engine, power gets to the 140/70-17 rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox.

Braking is a single-disc in front grabbed by a dual-piston caliper while a single-piston caliper is installed at the rear. Wet weight for the 2016 Yamaha YZF-R25 is 166 kg, and fuel is stored in the 14.3 litre fuel tank. Seat height is a rider friendly 780 mm.

The previous 2016 colour schemes – blue and matte grey – are now discontinued. Rivals to the Yamaha YZF-R25 locally include the Kawasaki Ninja 250 which retails for approximately RM22,000 excluding GST and the KTM RC250 with ABS, which goes for RM21,081 with GST.

      Probably, Boon Siew only wants to concentrate on mass volume models…the kapchais and scooters.

      Boon siew is a typical businessman.
      those models are typically low volumn. and even the “market calls for it”, it is rarely the case of sales success when is launch.
      just look at the msx125… the market kept asking it launch. and when is finally here, no many buys it.

      they would have to charge more for the CBR250RR. and given that this segment is heavily contested and sensitive to price, additional 5k more over the competitor is not going to work.

      Actually, it is not fair to say that it is a poor motorcyclist’s big bike. In all fairness, that bike is pretty quick off the mark (1st gear and 2nd till 3rd is pretty impressive) and has decent handling. I don’t own one but have been chased by one. It is light enough to get around the city with much ease too. Only on outstation rides does the quarter litre feel like it could use more juice (as told to me by my colleague who rides one) but I guess ridden sanely, it is more than adequate for inter-state rides.

    Nothing special.. color only. Cbr250r was a product killer for 250cc in term of design and technologies.
