After being in rumors for so long, Yamaha has launched its most awaited bike Yamaha R25 last month in Indonesia. Yamaha saw record break bookings for their new bike as they have received 2800 online booking entries within 25 hours of its launch. These numbers will obviously heat up the competition in the market of super bikes, as recently Honda launched its all new Honda CBR250R in the Indonesian market.

If the competitors will have to stay in the market of super or performance bikes, they have to think out of the globe because Yamaha had already won the hearts of the people around the globe.
