Spy shots of the Fazer 25 have been making their rounds on the internet over the last few weeks but today we finally got a glimpse of the motorcycle. The Fazer 25 is a faired version of the FZ25 that was launched a few months back. Unlike its smaller displacement sibling, the Fazer 25 has a single unit LED headlight up front. The large fairing although sharp does look a bit odd in a few angles. The Fazer 25 gets a 14-litre fuel tank. The Japanese manufacturer claims that you can do a Mumbai-Goa run in a single tank of the motorcycle.

At the heart, the Yamaha Fazer 25 shares its engine with the Yamaha FZ25. The single-cylinder 249cc air-cooled motor produces 20.6bhp@8,000rpm and 20Nm@6,000rpm. This engine comes paired with a 5-speed gearbox. In terms of features too, the Fazer gets the same equipment as the FZ25.

Despite of ABS becoming a norm in motorcycles now-a-days, Yamaha has decided to give it a miss on the new Fazer 25. The Japanese company has launched the Fazer 25 in two colours - soulful cyan and rhythmic red. The Fazer 25 will compete against the likes of the Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC200 and the Honda CBR250R.
