Ducati Panigale V4 vs Yamaha Fazer 25 Comparison

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.

The Yamaha Fazer 25 is the full-faired version of the Yamaha FZ 25. The Fazer 25 comes with a 250 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine with oil cooler. The Fazer 25 has a torquey motor with ample power spread across the rev band. It also benefits from decent handling dynamics and the low cost of maintenance is a value added feature. It offers good value, but competes with very capable rivals like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250.
