Yamaha Fazer 250
The Yamaha Fazer 250 (also known as the YS250 Fazer) was introduced in 2006, primarily targeting the Brazilian market where it was manufactured by Yamaha's local subsidiary. It was designed as an affordable, practical commuter and entry-level sport-tourer, combining the naked/semi-faired styling of the Fazer lineup with a simple single-cylinder engine suited to Latin American road conditions. It became one of the best-selling mid-displacement motorcycles in Brazil and remained in production until around 2016, when it was succeeded by updated models.

What Buyers Should Know
Proven Reliable Engine
The Fazer 250 uses Yamaha's YZF-R3 derived 249cc parallel-twin engine, known for low maintenance needs and long service intervals. With proper oil changes, these engines routinely exceed 50,000 km without major issues.
Watch the Fuel Injector
A common issue on used Fazer 250s is a dirty or failing fuel injector, often caused by poor quality fuel or long storage periods. Symptoms include rough idling and hesitation on acceleration — always test ride before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Fazer 250 holds its value well in markets like Brazil and India due to high demand and limited mid-size competition. A well-maintained example typically retains 60–70% of its original value after three years.
