According to the company, the motorcycle is aimed at the 20 to 30-year-old riders and is meant for those who wish to undertake sport touring and want to upgrade to a higher capacity motorcycle. The Fazer25 comes with a 249cc single-cylinder engine that gets fuel injection and produces 20.9 PS of power and 20 Nm of torque.
