The Yamaha R25 has already created enough stir in the motorcycle fraternity- one for the high expectations built around the bike based on the benchmarks created by the R15. Second- a great move by Yamaha to feature the nine time MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi alongside the motorcycle.
And once again “The Doctor” and the Yamaha R25 unite in a new video that’s more of a promotional testament from the champion himself. Rossi exclaims “I’ve ridden it for a few hours- but I will never forget the excitement of the test ride. The high performance engine, the smooth handling, light body and the ‘R’ DNA design. The New “R”. The R25!
Claimed by Yamaha to be “A superbike you can ride every day”- the motorcycle is being eagerly awaited by aficionados in India. The popularity of the motorcycle very well reflects in our posts (read everything about the R25 here) dedicated to Yamaha’s new rev happy 250cc twin. And all are readers who have been following every post on the R25- we’d say that we are as eager as you to have a taste of the new Yammie on the block.
By the way, here’s the video- quite a short one though.
