I feel the actual review got lost in the dramatization

That gas station guy acted really well 😂.....

First time I'm disliking the power drift video because as a owner of fz25 i don't feel anything bad about braking, suspension and tyres. I'm totally satisfied with this machine.I love fz25.....

The cringe is strong in this one..

I own the fz25 and have done 4000kms. I am more interested in touring than city rides, just two days back i did a 700km journey on this bike and let me tell you guys.. This bike is nothing short of spectacular. I was continuously riding at 105-116 kmph and as it started raining i wanted to get home fast while on the way back i rode for 3hrs straight, nothing happened.. The bike didn't feel like it was out of breath or anything. The mileage dropped, it gave me 30kmph while usually it gives me 35. The only thing i noticed is that as i was driving at 116kmph and because of the rains the road was completely drenched, the bike's rear tire slipped a little when i was cornering, i didn't took a sharp corner at more than 100kmph after that. The bike didn't heat, didn't stall, didn't look tired at all, seat is plenty comfortable. The only cons are the missing sixth gear, the missing abs and the headlight which doesn't go to a long distance. Personally i feel this bike is spectacular.

If you want Reliability & Butter smooth engine go for Yamaha FZ25 ! "LORD OF THE STREETS" 👑

Arey shaam ko pick karna tha girlfriend ko 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The whole new concept of video making. Liked the idea. By the way, that petrol pump guy was trying to distract you. He was not at all interested in the FZ25.

I own FZ25 and done with close to 5000kms. Bed ridden now, since met with an accident on 11th Nov. Cons: 1.Tire profile. 2. Poor head lamp for city and highway as well. 3. ABS should have been a boon and life saver but then still the brake is good. Depends on individual how one handles it. 4. Horn is poor. 5. Lack of 6th gear and an odd sound between 4 to 5k rpm in top gear (60 to 70kmph) 6. Stiffer seats. Got it customised. 7. Changed rear view mirrors to that of TB350 for better visibility. Pros: 1. Super built quality 2. Cheap and easily available parts 3. Super throttle response. 4. Easy on pocket in maintenance and mileage. Got upto 40kmph riding in Mumbai.

watched this vid 2 years ago.......now the 2020 fzs25 sits in my garage.....thank you powerdrift!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

man this is suppose to be a review not a commercial!! Don't exaggerate it too much! i got lost in the drama and music! i love your videos but sometimes its too much!!🔥

That John Cena ringtone tho😂 Must say, Varun's getting the hang of it, starting to like him.

Saw the comprehensive first ride review done by Sagar and brought this beauty home. Now Varun you have just cemented my opinion about this sweet ride. Keep up the good work guys.

Been riding the FZ 25 since last 6 months and I agree with all the points mentioned! Lack of 6th gear and the LED headlamps are the only downsides to this bike I feel. However it is a pure joy to ride this bike on highways and in city!

Dramatic music is an overkill

Machines r getting bigger capacity and still no signs of ABS Running these on bullshit and chaotic indian roads is v v risky proposition! But who cares , its india man ! Yahan kitna deti is the most imp criterial before finalising the product ! P.s. Why is it so hard for government to make abs and airbags compulsory for manufacturers!

Finally it's here... :P I bought the bike merely based on your first ride review.

It's a no-nonsense, mature bike. I have done 16k on my fz25 in less than an year. It's going fabulous, never felt the need of ABS. 6th gear, slipper clutch, powerful headlights & upside down front forks would have added to its qualities.But, every such think cost. I am more than satisfied with the well balanced beautiful product by Yamaha. Only complaint is about the rusting on exhaust pipe and catalytic converter.

That timelapse at the end of the day was awesome....

is it just me or is the tail actually looking like a fz1?well bang for the buck when you can't afford a litre class :P

ABS Should Be Compulsory..

The questions were answered in a subtle manner in the video. Carefully laid out through the length of it. Many would like it to be short and in your face, but that aint the PD way. I appreciate PD for keeping their signature style intact even with the 150-250cc segment. Cheers.

One thing I must say as an R15V2 owner, FZ25 is way more torquey in the lower midrange that it can put a tough 0-100 battle with Duke 250, but without having a 6th gear it seems strained after crossing 110. The LEDs need two additional auxiliary LED setup for better visibility in highways. To the Yamaha Haters (NS200, RS200, Duke 200 & RTR200), ride it once, then feel free to comment what is good and what is bad. Most Yamaha bikes don't match the spec-sheet with the Performance they provide, rather they overwhelm riders by their performance as they had been doing so far from the past. Nice video #pdarmy. Shared with proud!

There will be allways a differnce btween a yamaha ,honda and indian brands i have owned a re bullet and have driven ktms pulsars but the refinement and usability of these bikes are much superior than others and i am now owning a fz -25 and have done more than 2000km and i am very happy with the bike and its refinement 👌🏻

worst and unNecessary review. no thanks

By the way Yamaha did this bike, I can say that they created this bike for their existing FZ16, FZs and FZ 2.0 customers who are looking for an upgrade (who are brand loyal). If Yamaha wanted to haul ass of other manufacturers in the quarter litre naked segment they'd just dropped the MT-25 as the FZ25 here with it's LC parallel twin. People who know the technical aspects and the logical market needs will understand this! Peace☮ #alwaysyamaha #revsyourheart💓

Just bought the bike by watching your first review #powerdrift and I am happy with the bike. The things I wanted more were ABS,more informative speedometer and better suspensions. And as always this video was also awesome powerdrift.🔥

please do a comparison review of 200ns with fz25

N she's waiting dere at d office. 😂

PD said. It's all about how many memories you got with the bike...and that's exactly Yamaha promises ...that emotional connection...it's a great brand man, really really really love it....

Lol the bike doesnt do justice to the soundtrack..😂

The big problem is abs and only 5 gear and I think Yamaha think about that because there computation in market ns 200 and rs 200 is best deal

Indians always about the top speed. Real motorcyclists know it's all about the 0-100 figures

Honest review.. Im a fz25 rider and I like the bike very much. It will beat all other bikes in this category in the city traffic. Like u said in the video lack of 6th gear is one major point. Hope Yamaha will take all these into consideration in their next fz series

Be it a 150cc,250cc or a superbike , first question that pops up on an Indian's mind on seeing a new bike... "Kitna deti h?"😅😅 Cleverly included in the video 👍🏼 P.S. congrats on the best automobile content creator award 🙃 you guys totally deserve it🙂

Back from Milan . Guys what about that Give away that was going on . Nicely cleared all points of bike . I love your cinematography The way you guys make video

Sry to say your good and ok but Sarge is the best if he had reviewed seriously there would be more amount of information he tells us

My Review for this bike. Ride quality decent Good mileage Engine refinement the best No vibrations Top speed 145kmph personaly experience by 20+ riders. Doesnt heats up You wont need the 6th gear u see the torque here is 20nm which more than enough to make u fly the weight of the bike plays a major role here Gears smooths out with use and time Brake are decent Abs should have be offered 14ltr tank biggest in class Wide wheels great road stability and grip Headlights r weak Atlast, this is a very practical and all rounder kind of bike with 2 downpoints (as far as i have observed) it gives u everything with quality that is the most imp thing and thats where Bajaj lacks the quality of the product is necessary bcoz u have to live with it for next 4-5 yrs minimum and pulsars tends to lose its quality by the end of 1.5 years i have experienced with Ns n rs both This is more for a mature and practical and all rounder person ✌️😊❤

more than the bike i like how you told a small story in the powerdrift life. althought it wasnt complete but none the less it was great to watch. thanks and keep bringing us more.

Brazilian version of this fz25 is stunning

Missed sagar

Yamaha has played quite safe with the Fz25. It's a very sensible deal if you prefer city usage but definitely leaves a lot to desire on the open roads. I think Yamaha was crystal clear about the audience they intended to target when they planned the bike and going by the sales figures, they are rocking it at the moment

If someone wants to go for this bike then just go through the issues I am facing in daily basis. It's better to know about the Cons of the bike. * U have to rev it a little to keep the engine running in Red light also in high traffic u have to keep the gear in 2nd with some revs otherwise engine get killed ( happening with 3-4 people whom I met in service centre and as per them it's bike issue they can't fix this). *. The pillion seat is very Hard and not comfortable to sit for more than 30km. *. Rider sit is ok ok , u can ride for long time but it's not that comfortable. * Tyre hugger is of no use as bike gets too dirty in rain. *Mirrors are just manageable. *Even after 6k km gear box is still very hard. * Area covered by headlight is just ok. If you are in Highway then u can't go beyond 60 in night due to focus area of headlight . * Bike get some vibration in footpeg above 85 and nearly at 100 u can feel in both handlebar and footpeg.

please make video on fz 25 2019 edition

I'll take the NS200 anyday. Abs. Cheaper bike and maintenance. Cruising on the 6th long range gear. Liquid cooling. The FZ makes sense only in the city but then why would anyone get a 250cc only for the city ? Someone tell Yamaha they were never a budget brand.. Don't try to be one... You've already got it wrong once with the FZ v 2.0 . The grunt of the original FZ 16 lost for better fuel efficiency. Poor vision by Yamaha.

Bro, my brother has purchased the fz250 white, good bike to ride in the city and the highway, great looks. One major issue we face: gear box, very difficult to get neutral and the hearing is not smooth at all specifically the 3rd gear. Rest it's a good bike, Yamaha should have launched this bike with ABS

Der aaye durust aaye... Luved it...I own the bike and have ridden for over 1.5K Km. The issues highlighted are same as I have experienced. Way to go PD

Another out of the box thought video....... U guys r awesome

The engine is not that smooth. I am getting tappet noise once the engine heats up and the service centre guys say that this is normal with this engine and nothing can be done about it. I had a hard choice between Yamaha and Dominar, chose Yamaha for it's refined engine but I am disappointed.

Was missing Sagar's distinct style of reviewing the two wheeled beauties at the start of the video.. but i must say the way this video was shot had its own charm which complimented varuns style and varun too is getting better by the day.. keep it up guys!

This is the bike I purchased when Sagar did first impressions video.. nice bike for city rides and occasional highway.. also agree with cons like Brakes, headlight but the engine guys trust me it is the best in 250 cc .. about this video I like the way it is shot morning to evening with various situations and conditions ☺

300 Sargent😊😊😊

Is it comfortable for shorter riders?

Reviews like these are a good change from regular reviews. Where we discuss all the pros and cons, things which actually matter and which don't matter (marketing gimmick?. Putting all the points perfectly in place which show every day situations specially helpful for someone who is Looking for everyday commuting and weekend touring. This video reminds me of duke250 review by Atul Haldankar. Nice one PD team, keep up the good work.

The problem with PD is that they focus more on making the video aesthetically pleasing than actually giving us a proper review of the bike. Love the shots and the editing but that doesn't really help us narrow down on a bike. You can't really do a proper review of a bike in like 6 min when more than half of it is stuff like this.

Other fan boys r saying the lack of abs n 6th gear.... City ride don need this.... I think a skilled n matured rider only will enjoy this fz n smoke dukes n ns in 0-100 drag.....

its too late bro

Now i know everything about FZ25 This is how #PDARMY do!!!! redefining the way channels review bikes and cars

In your 0-60,0-100 and top speed video of FZ 25 you have written the top speed as 134kmph. Then how come now it has reduced go to 124kmph?

Expecting a same kind of review for Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ABS

My 200 ns does 140kmph all yamaha does is looks no power

This looks so much better than the current fz 25 from the front..Just personal opinion.

I was waiting for a vid on how u guys work... Bike review is very nice. Different cool styling of review. If Sarge is much required fire in the winter then Varun is much awaited sprinkles in the monsoon.. what a team. Hats off !!

Yeah when we compare the fz25 with the cc , i would definately take the duke 250 instead of this and when it comes to price i will go for the rs200 (abs variant) because the rs has a higher top speed than the fz25 even though torque is high on the fz25 the rs would be my take !! Anyways nice work there best man !! 😁😁😁 Nice video PD army !! Thats a real honest unbiased review 👍👍👍

The mileage is more than my Activa 😥😧😭😢

Bought the Fz25 after your first review. Not one regret after buying. Absolutely in lovee with the bike 😁

I think it is amazing how you guys provide so much information and still manage to keep the viewer glued to their screens for every single second! Absolutely love how you guys are progressing man!

friend: "Bhai powerdrift ka naya video dekha? kya maast reviews banate he ye log. kya mast mast music dhalte he, kya cinematic shots banate he, ab kiya kiya bolu me. Matlab etna saab kaise karte he wo log" me: "Powerdrift- the name is enough, my friend"😉

Wish it had a 6th gear😫😫

1:18 prepares black tea.... but 1:43 serves milk tea :D

Too Pretentious 😂 u could make a drinking game out of this Video ... take a Sip anytime anyone says 'Bro'

One like = one rupees for me to buy fz25 😂🤣 Got it already

i wanted to buy it, but now i won't. i dont like vibes at all and i want a bike that has better braking. 126 top speed for a 250 is just not enough, look at yamaha r15 it can go above it. damn it... no, yamaha

It would be great to see a comparison video between FZ25 and NS200!😛 Actually this video and Dino's video on NS200 came at the same time and increased my confusion. P.S :- Not blaming anyone.😛

1:51 Sagar was not complaining he was reviewing the bike bro. Now I have to say well played powerdrift. I would love to upload a review video between Sagar and Varun. Lol 😆

In short this FZ25 is surely better than Bajaj' cheap quality RS200 and NS200 in terms of performance & Reliability except brakes

Ns 200 with abs is better option than this .. ns 200 looks awesome 😍😍😍

Our so called top gear of India!!! Releases the review of a bike when it's time for an update. It's a pity that we still didn't get the review of the new duke 390 or RC390. R.I.P automobile enthusiasts.

I hope future reviews will always feature a pillion rider. Very nice review, entertaining and informative, 10/10.

The quality of the parts is just awful Just look at the instrument And it is only useful in the city thanks to the strong low and mid range When you hit the highway it's disappointing Also the engine vibrates post 7K :/ Hope Yamaha actually puts some work polishing their next bike more

FZ 25......still better bike than Bajaj's cheap quality heavy ass bikes !

What the Next Gen needs at least is 6th Gear, Liquid Cooling, ABS and Better TFT screen or LED because the current looks like a cheapo 50rs watch from local bazaar.

Amazing video as always and the wait was worth it just forgot to say one thing that your dedication towards making videos is just on another level weather it rain or freezing or sunny you guys are the best

Great bike! but no fun in riding this

So much hype, it's a fucking b grade commuter at best. Yamaha is becoming like Samsung now - charging moolah mostly for the brand only. Torque, max speed, suspension, new tech all goes to shit. What exactly are we paying for? Silly upgrades and stupid made up tech jargon named components.. Street fighter my ass. Duke 200 probably will smoke it easy peasy.

I own this bike now...this video played a major role in selecting the bike....thanks

3:40 , because "mileage kitna deti Hai" is a must have for an Indian motorcycle review video.

Better than duke✋✋

Sir I too 4 months back bought fz25 ballistic blue variant ...but the gears are really hard...but the smoothest bike I have ever ridden

Can you please let Sarge do the bike reviews not that this was bad but Sarge just takes it to the next level

Strong,sweet and torquey review guys, just like the reviewed bike !!! Keep up the good work !! #PDArmy

Confused between Apache RTR 200 and FZ25. Need some suggestions.

I own a 2009 FZ 16 and it's been such a pleasant joyful journey. It's been one of the most reliable bike I have had till date. It still starts up at the 1st press of the starter button. But for me the FZ 25 just doesn't seem like a upgrade from where I am with my current bike. FZ 25 seems to just have a larger engine and a LED lamp. And I know for a fact that the LED lamp absolutely sucks. Even my FZ 16 lamp beats it for the spread on the road. The fuel average seems to be in the same ball park on both bikes. I would rather go for 200NS then this. It seems a worthy upgrade for city duties and an odd weekend tours. PS - so totally loved the review. Especially the way it was shot n made. Keep such amazing stuff coming. You people are getting better with every new video.

On mid range the engine torque and sound is awesome.another thing I felt that in city ride , I had pain in my left hand .one of the worst thing is brake absence of abs , everyone touches the heaven for one second.on highway at night above 60 km , the vision is very low on dark roads . Other than that same as the review.

The only Problem with FZ25 is the 5Speed Gearbox according to me. You don't have that cruising gear on highway ,which makes it a bit unstable at 5th gear due to a incremental deceleration. A 6 Speed Gearbox and 300mm disc at front would make it best buy for price.

i love it... and i chose it over NS200... it looks big... bulky... gives u proper big bike feel...it has that attraction on the roads...

The only thing I'm sceptical in this video is the rider's weight.. haha.. overall a fantastic way to deliver all the information about this bike.

Haha Cena, Thats'y i cant see you lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Five years passed , still one of the best video on the internet. Always big fan of varun painter sir.
