Different class but similar price, which to choose?
The performance of Yamaha R25 is definitely stronger.
The feature loses advanced than the 150 cc game.
We have to admit that now to be able to have a full fairing motor sport must at least prepare funds of Php 100k. Yup, with that fund you can only get a full fairing sport bike class of 150 cc.
From their respective official sites, currently the cheapest is the Suzuki GSX-R150 2022 which is released from around 120k. Followed by Honda CBR150R 2022 with a price about Php 130k. The most expensive is the Yamaha R15 2022 with a price of around Php 140k.
For men-to-mending people will certainly look for other alternatives, who knows can get units that have different classes, even though used. If that's what you want, then a used Yamaha R25 could be an option.
Suppose you have the budget to redeem the Honda CBR150R non ABS with a Honda Racing Red livery, then you can get the Yamaha R25 in 2016 and below, as observed on the online buying and selling site.
If you want to leave funds for unit repair, you can redeem the 2015 assembly which has a price range from Rp 24 million to Rp 33 million. It's just that the price was not binding, depending on the condition of the unit, tax status and the open price of the offer.
So if you choose a used Yamaha R25, what is the attraction of this bike?
The old design of the Yamaha R25 is preferred by many people.
1. Sporty Look Much Liked
Compared to the 2019 updated model, the first model of the Yamaha R25 is preferred. The fascia design is more assertive, with a pair of large double headlights but has an aggressive angle, although it still uses halogens as lighting.
Then the curve of the fairing is simpler, not a cross layer model as in the updated model. It's just that the fuel tank cover feels too towering, and looks prominent.
The stern is certainly no problem, with a tapered display at the end, making this part still maintained by Yamaha, including for its naked bike model, yamaha MT-25. It's just a slightly strange form of back-kick.
Comparison of old and facelifted Yamaha R25.
It must be admitted if the first generation model is unsightly from any angle, the design would be more acceptable to all. It's a different story on a new model that invites controversy, and it takes time to attract people.
2. More Powerful Machine
Of course with a larger engine capacity, the performance offered is much different from any 150 cc sports bike. Yamaha R25 is equipped with a 250 cc engine, DOHC 8 valves, liquid cooling, with the support of Diasil Cylinder and Forged Piston technology.
The maximum output of this engine reaches 36 PS at 12,000 rpm, with torque of 22.1 Nm at 10,000 rpm. The engine output was channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
250 cc engine is more powerful
Compared to the 150 cc sport, the most stuck is only able to issue a power of 19 PS. Of course you will feel a more powerful engine for everyday use or even trackdays.
However, this engine is still relatively simple because there are no other supporting features, such as Assist & Slipper Clutch or even Quick Shifter which is now available on the latest model Yamaha R15. More powerful but less sophisticated!
3. Fairly Complete Features
What is the appeal of this 250 cc motor sport? First the digital-analog meter panel with a large size. The takometer needle that goes up and down following the engine rotation, it feels like adrenaline is faster when used for trackday.
Digital-analog meter panels are the mainstay.
Then this meter panel also has shift light, as a guide to moving transmission gears. Although the information is considered standard but quite good, there are odometers, trip meters, fuel averages, real time fuel and digital clocks.
For lights, practically only the rear lights that have been equipped with LEDs. Headlights and sein are still halogen. Then the ignition of the regular model does not offer any magnetic safety function.
The braking sector, of course, is already discs on both wheels and there is an ABS brake option if you are targeting an ABS unit. The rim design and tire size are also good, but it has also been used for the Yamaha MT-15.
Sturdy asymmetrical swing arms.
The front damping relies on telescopic suspension with a tube diameter of 41 mm, calculated large. Then the rear suspension uses a monosok that rests on a large and sturdy swing arm.
4. Comfortable Legs
Another attraction of the Yamaha R25 is the character of the suspension that is fairly soft. Both front and rear suspensions are able to dampen shocks very well and add driving comfort.
For information only, the front suspension on this bike is a fix model, aka without any settings. While the back is available preload settings only.
5. Ease of Getting Spare Parts
the stern hasn't changed since the beginning.
Yamaha is known for the ease of getting spare parts, either in official workshops or online. You can also see availability through the Yamaha Part Catalogue app that can be downloaded to your smartphone.
If the spare parts you are looking for are not available, you can simply wait in about a week. O yes, the selling price of spare parts is also relatively affordable for a 250 cc motor sport.
