The 2021 Yamaha FZ25 is currently the most affordable 250 cc motorcycle on sale in India
1. Yamaha FZ25
The Yamaha FZ25 received a comprehensive upgrade recently, followed by a price cut that does make it an attractive choice in the segment. The model gets a new projector lens headlamp, tweaked styling, new colours and more. It's not as powerful as the Gixxer 250 with the 249 cc, single-cylinder engine producing 20.8 bhp and 20.1 Nm of peak torque. This shows in the top-end of the powerband, even though the bike is smooth in the low and midrange. Prices for the FZ25 start at Rs. 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Bajaj Dominar 250
2. Bajaj Dominar 250
The Bajaj Dominar 250 is another do-it-all offering here that borrows its touring abilities from the larger Dominar 400. That helps the bike use some premium hardware like USD front forks, digital console, twin-barrel exhaust, LED headlamp and more. Power comes from the 249 cc DOHC, single-cylinder motor that develops 26.6 bhp and 23.5 Nm of peak torque. The Dominar 250 also received a price cut recently and starts at Rs. 1.54 lakh (ex-showroom).
