Yamaha R25 concept

[SwarleyRuiz]

The headline bike from Yamaha is the R25 which the firm is presenting as a concept but considering the parallel-twin 249cc four-stroke has been linked to Valentino Rossi the firm is clearly taking it seriously.

Yamaha has done well in the entry-level sportsbike market with the YZF-R125 model but this two-cylinder model will take the fight to the Honda CBR300R and the Kawasaki Ninja 300 along with the new KTM RC390 in terms of styling and performance.

Yamaha says of the R25: "The R25 was designed to be the superbike you ride every day and its newly developed 249cm two-cylinder engine offers plenty of power. R25 is a serious cornering machine, and is great for the motorcycle aficionado or even the daily commute."
