I believe there should be a dedicated video of Deepak Kamath , just the sheer experience he holds with his overseas travels and adventures from the 90's till date should be shared in a dedicated video
Hi ! What Mr Deepak is saying is completely true, additionally I would like to share my experience with this bike. I own it since July 2019, (ABS version). I completed 3000KMS till now including adventure tour at Tarey Bhir (Sikkim) where roads are bad as well as inclination is high enough, I took my wife as pillion also. This bike performed beyond my expectation. High end torque and excellent handling made is easy to climb even with a pillion, I have the stock MRF tyre but they performed very well, balance as well as road grip is just brilliant. About Braking .. its just fantastic.. ABS performance is just wow.. But I would contradict with Mr Deepan in one case .. about headlight.. It is not that bad as he is saying, I road the highway whole night with pillion in 90-110KMPH speed and never felt that the light has some issue. Actually I previously have the Hero xtreme 150 bike, so I know what is called a bad light, on that bike I cannot see anything at night in highways, but Fazer 250 is awesome.. I faced no problem now.. I must say about 2 special things .. first is the punchy torque... you can feel the punch.. even on 5th gear you can accelerate easily .. overtaking is not an issue any more.. secondly and sadly the ground clearance is very bad, It touches all the high bumps.. .. Yamaha should look into it.. Last thing !! I got above 45KMPL mileage in highway with pillion but beyond 100KMPH speed mileage drops too much.. but in city it is 30-32KMPL.. 2nd service done.. Bike is butter smooth even at 110KMPH, no vibration, no body ache.. Hope this might help others :) Thanks ..
@Bijit Bose Thanks for pointing out about the spelling mistakes :) It was due to "auto correct ", but I should be careful :) About point no 1 : I did not faced any problem with headlights till now, at pitch dark conditions it is undoubtedly good, and when big vehicles with more powerful headlights come from the opposite side, I cannot see my light, its true but I don't need them in that condition. Actually I have not experienced better headlights, that is why I said Headlights are "GOOD". In city commuting it is more than OK. About point no 2 : It may be varying from bike to bike because I never faced that issue. Between 70-80 the engine runs like a cycle ! no noise, no vibrations. About point no 4 : Yes it comes after long rides. But after the ride, let the engine cool down, wash the bike, you will get the smooth sound back again. Completed 5500 KMS till now.
I too owned a fazer 250 2019 model abs version. I upgraded from rtr 160. Daily my commute is 110km. 90percent highway 10 percent city. In bypass the bike is butter smooth I felt the huge amount of torque in 3rd and 4th gear. I used to maintain 110 to 118 in bypass. I am getting mileage of about 34 to 36kmpl. Duke is pure racing kind of machine but inside city driving duke sucks we cant change the gear frequently. That's why I dropped duke 250 and 390. But fazer250 inside city it's very humble like 150cc machine. Overall a great purchase. Disadvantage is gearbox sometimes its tight and hard to put. Everything in the review mention is genuine. Great👍👌
I have a FZ25 ABS. I agree with all his points, but personally coming from a 2009 model RTR 160, i miss the handling. It is a average handling bike, low seat hight (but wide seat) comfortable but cutting through traffic is not as good as Apache
It has 14l tank!! In just first 1 year i did 6000 and here this guy praising it without any issues. Ok, bike is good but it also has its fair share of problems
Do you have any idea about the launch of Fazer V3 150cc ?? I don't want to buy any other bike. I DON'T WANT TO BUY A FZS V3 AND MODIFY IT TO FAZER BY ADDING WINDSHIELD AND ALL. 🤮🤮🤮
This bike has quality issues. Headlight is poor. Engine oil leakage is a common issue. Mirror and rear&front mud guards not effective. Tappet sound is there. Adjustment at 6000kms i had to do in FZ25 Rusting issue on the so called new "stainless steel bend pipe". Pick up best
