Bajaj dominar 250 is priced at rupees 1 lakh 60 000 x showroom Delhi whereas the Yamaha Fz-25 bs6 is priced at rupees 1 lakh 52100 x showroom Delhi. so we can clearly see a price difference of near rupees 8 000 which is pretty significant. hare see what extra the dominar 250 is trying to offer to justify its higher price tag.
Power
Powering the Bajaj dominar 250 is a single cylinder 4 strokes 4 valves liquid-cooled fuel-injected 248.77 cc engine with the DOHC layout, that puts out 27 ps of max power at 8500rpm, and 23.5-newton meters of max torque at 6500rpm, and dominar 250 has a six-speed gearbox, when we compare this with that of the fz-25 powering the fz25bs6 is a single-cylinder four-stroke two-valve air-cooled fuel-injected 249cc engine, that puts out 20.8 ps of max power at 8000 rpm, and 20.1-newton meters of max torque at 6000 rpm, it has a 5-speed gearbox. We can see here that in almost every aspect the dominar 250 is well ahead and far superior. The very first point is that the dominar gets a six-speed gearbox whereas the Fz-25 is limited to a five-speed gearbox.so the mc25 is concentrating more on the initial pickup and the mid-range surge whereas the domain is concentrating more on offering better top-end performance. The Bajaj dominar 250 has a 4-valve engine when compared to the 2-valve engine of the Fz-25 this means better top-end performance, and the engine doesn't feel strained even at higher RPMs. The bike revs cleanly and effortlessly and performs well even when you push it to the limits. the fz because it gets a two-valve engine is not all that great when it comes to top-end performance. Bajaj dominar also gets liquid cooling whereas the fz-25 gets oil cooling, which means again dominar offers a far more superior and effective cooling system. both the bikes have fuel injection as standard so the fueling is good and consistent with superb refinement and crisp throttle response on both the bikes. The initial torque or pickup is better on the fc-25 when compared to the dominar 250 which takes a little more time to wake up, mid-range performance is good for both bikes but again here fz25 feels slightly better.
Features
Bajaj dominar 250 weighs 180 kilos which makes it 27 kgs heavier than the Yamaha Fz-25,so the Fz25 enjoys the weight advantage which is why it feels more responsive and offers better pick up right off the mark .talking about the chassis the dominar 250 gets the same beam perimeter frame as the dominar 400 has, so the handling is awesome it would have been better if it had also borrowed the aluminum swingarm from the dominar 400.however it still feels more planted and sure-footed and the perimeter frame surely does its job well. The fz25 in terms of handling in terms of suspension the dominar 250 gets 37 mm USD forks up front which do offer a superb front-end feel. the Yamaha Fz-25 has chunky 41mm conventional telescopic front forks which also offer a superb front-end feel, and good ride quality at lower speeds at the same time they offer great confidence and stability even at triple-digit speeds.
talking about the brakes dominar again comes out victorious by offering a massive 300 mm front disc and dual-channel abs as standard, the fz on the other hand offers a 282 mm front disc and the fz also gets dual-channel abs, but the larger 300 mm front disc on the dominar 250 does inspire greater confidence and also offers better bite and feedback. in terms of tires both the bikes do not offer radial tires both the bikes offer MRF tires, but the fz25 offers a 140 section rear tire whereas the dominar 250 offers only a 130 section rear tire which is a major lead down, the 130 section rear tire doesn't do justice to the kind of handling the dominar 250 has on offer courtesy of the perimeter frame it comes with so in terms of road grip the fz25 is slightly better. the speed of the console here the dominar 250 is better because the speed of the display is larger and it is more clear compared to the negative display that we get with the Fz-25. the fonts in the display on the Fz are not clear when you are riding right underneath the sun in broad daylight. The tank capacity of the dominar 250 offers a 13-liter tank whereas the Fz offers a 14-liter tank.
Riding Ergonomics
The riding ergonomics of both bikes offer a nice and comfortable upright seating posture, and the suspension setup is good on both the bikes, but the Yamaha Fz-25 is lighter so it doesn't wear you down even after you've been riding the bike all day long the dominar 250 is slightly on the heavier side so you might feel a little fatigued after riding it for a while,
but the dominar 250 has yet another trick up its sleeve it offers an anti-hopping slipper clutch which prevents the rear wheel from locking and hopping while doing faster downshift .the Fz-250, however, doesn't have slipper clutch in .terms of build quality the dominar 250 really feels solidly built not that the Fz isn't well built, but the dominar 250 just overshadows the fz because we get the same rearview mirrors with aluminum stocks as the dominar 400 also we get the superior quality. Dominar 250 offers a superb road presence when compared to the Fz-25.it looks bigger and looks more attractive. mileage the Fz might slightly inch ahead here because it is lighter but still I feel we can expect close to 35kmpl from both of these bikes.
Price
Bajaj dominar 250 is priced at rupees 1 lakh 60 000 x showroom Delhi whereas the Yamaha fz25 bs6 is priced at rupees 1 lakh 52100 x showroom Delhi. Pricing of the Bajaj dominar 250 is just 8000 rupees dearer than the Yamaha fz25 and for that extra money, it offers a way lot more like liquid cooling four-valve engine DOHC layout, better road presence, and better build quality.
