The bike offers excellent performance and with prices starting from Rs. 1.02 lakh and going up till Rs. 1.16 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

Launched in early 2017, the Yamaha FZ25 might not have set the sales chart on fire but is a seriously good offering in the 200 cc - 250 cc segment. It is refined, has great design, has got features such as LED headlamp, fully digital instrument console, step-seat but misses out on ABS, even as an option. The FZ25 gets a 249 cc engine which makes 20 bhp and 20 Nm with the engine being paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Yamaha claims that the FZ25 will be able to go on for 40 kilometres on a litre of petrol. The bike is one of the best-looking in this segment and with a price of Rs. 1.19 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi).

Priced at Rs. 1.46 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) the 200 Duke is surely expensive, but with that price, you get a stonker of a 200 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 25 bhp along with 19.2 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and it has a claimed fuel efficiency of 35 kmpl. It continues to have a blistering performance. The KTM 200 Duke was launched in India in 2012 and it got a major update last year in terms of new colour options and updated graphics. The bike weighs 5kg heavier than the previous model but the difference is imperceptible. The bike is rich in features too with a fully digital instrument console, ABS and the works. In case you fancy motorcycles with a fairing, you can also look at buying the KTM RC 200.
