Yamaha Fazer 250
The Yamaha Fazer 250 has a top speed of 135 km/h, produces 20 hp and weighs 154 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
La Yamaha Fazer 250 (también conocida como YS250 Fazer) se presentó en 2006 y se dirigió principalmente al mercado brasileño, donde fue fabricada por la filial local de Yamaha. Se diseñó como un vehículo deportivo de turismo básico y asequible y práctico, que combinaba el estilo semicarenado de la gama Fazer con un motor monocilíndrico sencillo que se adaptaba a las condiciones de las carreteras de América Latina. Se convirtió en una de las motocicletas de cilindrada media más vendidas en Brasil y se mantuvo en producción hasta alrededor de 2016, cuando fue reemplazada por modelos actualizados.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
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.

"Viajero urbano punzante que se queda sin aliento rápidamente."
Realicé unos 18.000 km en un Fazer 250 de 2012 que recorría el tráfico de São Paulo y de vez en cuando volaba los fines de semana en la SP-280, y se ganó un respeto genuino, no porque sea emocionante, sino porque nunca me decepcionó. Este monoplaza refrigerado por aire arranca limpiamente a partir de las 3000 rpm y, de hecho, el carenado funciona a velocidades de autopista, por lo que te mantiene alejado del viento mejor que cualquier otro vehículo de esta categoría. Pero si se gira el acelerador más allá de los 110 km/h, se acelera sin piedad para mantener la velocidad: los adelantamientos en las autovías se convierten en un plan, no en un reflejo. El carburador también necesita un ritual de estrangulamiento cada mañana fría y empieza a funcionar al ralentí si el jet principal no da en el clavo para la altitud.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"Solid budget commuter, but don't expect thrills beyond city limits."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe Fazer 250 is one of those bikes that rewards patience and punishes impatience equally. That 249cc parallel-twin pulls cleanly from about 6,000rpm but you're working the gearbox constantly in traffic, hunting for that narrow powerband. It's not slow exactly — more like deliberately paced. The half-fairing does a genuinely decent job at highway speeds, keeping wind blast off your chest better than you'd expect from something this small. Used examples need careful inspection around the cooling system and throttle bodies — previous owners who skipped service intervals create headaches fast. Check for frayed cables, inspect the fork seals, and wiggle every lever. These bikes attract learners who drop them, so cosmetic damage is almost guaranteed on anything under $3,500. Mechanically though, the engine itself is surprisingly tough if it's been fed fresh oil regularly. For a budget commuter or newer rider building confidence, it genuinely makes sense. Just don't expect to enjoy it on a weekend canyon run — it'll frustrate anyone who's ridden anything with real midrange grunt.
