Yamaha Indonesia, which opened the online bookings for the YZF-R25 on 22 May 2014, reportedly had plans to sell only 500 bikes online but the overwhelming response from two-wheeler enthusiasts forced the company to push the number to 10,00, reported Rushlane.

It will be available in three colours - Racing Blue, Diablo Red and Predator Black.

Though Yamaha is yet to announce the global availability of the bike, rumours are rife that the company would bring the YZF-R25 to India soon. A recent report of Gaadi.com said that the Yamaha India has imported a new 250cc motorbike to India for "Research and Development".
