The Yamaha R25 is a lightweight 250cc sportbike designed for riders seeking a balance of performance, agility, and everyday usability. With its sporty R-series DNA and manageable displacement, it suits both newer riders looking to step into a full-sized motorcycle and experienced enthusiasts who appreciate nimble handling without excessive power. Its compact dimensions and responsive twin-cylinder engine make it well-suited for urban commuting as well as occasional spirited riding, offering a versatile package that appeals to a wide range of Malaysian riders.
In Malaysia, the Yamaha R25 sits in the entry-level supersport segment, featuring a 249cc liquid-cooled, DOHC inline-twin engine delivering around 26.4 kW at 12,000 rpm and 22.6 Nm at 10,000 rpm. It rides on a steel diamond frame and comes equipped with inverted front forks, a full LCD instrument panel, and dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety. The styling draws inspiration from Yamaha’s MotoGP machines, with aggressive dual LED headlights and aerodynamic fairings. Locally assembled by Hong Leong Yamaha Motor, it benefits from Malaysia-specific support and availability of service parts.
