What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Coolant System
The R25's liquid-cooled parallel-twin can develop coolant leaks around the water pump seal after high mileage. Inspect for staining near the lower engine casing before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The R25 holds its value exceptionally well in Southeast Asian and Australian markets due to high demand and Yamaha's strong brand reputation in the 250cc sport segment.
Twin-Cylinder Advantage
Unlike most 250cc rivals that use single-cylinder engines, the R25's parallel-twin delivers smoother power delivery and a higher 14,000 RPM redline, making it genuinely exciting to ride.
