I am thrilled like you all about these Yamaha twins - specially the YS250 Fazer has caught my heart.That’s what I call a perfect bike ! Who says it’s not good looking ? The looks are timeless.Great finish as seen on https://spaces.msn.com/taunk.I prefer my bike to look like a bike - not like some alien craft or some ugly ’’Hunchback of Notre Dame’’.That’s for crazy kids grown on TV shows of WWF Wrestling / Star Wars / Superbike racing etc.I love smooth, noiseless and powerful bikes.And I like to ride them smoooothly.
Just checked the specs of the YS250Faz at https://team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/9808-fazer-250-a.html and at https://motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_ys250_fazer.htm.They agree except on the dry weight.Is it 134 or 153 kgs ? Also I couldn’t find mileage figures.Can anyone suggest ?
It is a sign of maturity on the part of Bajaj Auto that they have discarded the structure of their highly successful Pulsars in the new 250cc.Every manufacturer goes thru a learning phase before maturing.Perhaps they have realized that how ’’lucky’’ they were that the urban youth found their Pulsars ’’irresistible’’.However when pitted against the Yamaha giants, I think Bajaj has to work double time on their gear, clutch, weight-distribution, etc to be able to hold fort.The best things about the Pulsar were high torque at low RPMs(Exhaust Tec?) and fuel economy.
I wonder why is Suzuki lagging behind ? Long live open market economy ! Long live competition among multi-nationals.I know it is difficult in this terrorism affected country...but can’t we have the fire-arm makers open shop here? Think what...if the Berettas, Smith&Wessons, Rugers, Weatherbys and Brownings compete in India ! I was a gun-enthusiast even before I became a bike fan.
