Lo que los compradores deben saber
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.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The sharpest entry-level sportbike money can buy used."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe R25 is genuinely one of the better small-displacement sportbikes you can buy used, and the market knows it — prices hold stubbornly well. That parallel-twin is the real star here. It revs cleanly to 12,000rpm, sounds proper doing it, and pulls with surprising enthusiasm once you're past 7,000rpm. Build quality is noticeably better than the comparable CBR300R or Ninja 300, and the riding position won't destroy your wrists on longer rides. That said, go in with realistic expectations. You're working with 35-ish horsepower, so overtaking on dual carriageways requires planning, not spontaneity. Check the chain and sprockets carefully on anything above 15,000 miles — owners who thrash these and skip maintenance aren't rare. The suspension is soft from factory and won't flatter aggressive riding. Look for bikes with aftermarket brake pads already fitted; the OEM stoppers are notably underwhelming. For a first proper sportbike or a commuter with occasional weekend fun, it ticks almost every box. Just don't expect it to keep pace with 600s.
