Yamaha R25 details

Yamaha R25 has released this concept of "superbike you can ride everyday". This title certainly have a meaning that represents the character's drive to the motor. So R25 is fast with great style superbike engine power but comfortable to wear daily. This motor has a maximum power of 35.5 hp, larger than competitors who are both carrying the 2-cylinder engine. Well, the second keyword, comfortable daily wear would be a concentration of Yamaha R25 motor to make it easier to drive.

Yamaha began by selecting the type of diamond frame, slightly different from the family line of the YZF-R series from R1 to R15 everything most small deltabox wear. The goal is more towards functional. That is easy to handle and gives the impression of a compact slim when ridden. R25 priority slim design and light weight. It's not about deltabox better or worse, but more towards function. If selected deltabox berkendaranya feeling will be different.
Long asymmetric swing arm to make the look more muscular. Another advantage gained by using tubular chassis is light weight. With tubular, R25 weighs only 166 kg. It is much lighter than its competitors who both wear 2-cylinder engine. For the record weight of 166 kg is only 2 kg heavier than the Honda CBR250R which carries 1 cylinder engine.


Special, tubular chassis stiffness may be pitted with the Yamaha R25 bike has deltabox chassis. R25 chassis are built to absorb twisting force (twist) bigger, but the angle of the chassis (bend) made ​​smaller. So in addition to the size of a compact, but also provide a sporty driving feeling like the R-Series family.
Another attempt to make the R25 easier to drive is to do a 50:50 weight distribution to the front and rear, so Yamaha bold claim handlingnya very sporty. To get a 50:50 weight distribution, not only of the construction of the frame, but also thanks to the application of long asymmetric swing arm and mid-ship exhaust muffler type which has a large tube right in the middle underneath this bike. Position under the exhaust as it also helps achieve a 50:50 weight distribution.
