Yamaha has launched its new naked bike for the Indonesian market. The MT-25 is a naked streetbike featuring a 249cc parallel twin, comfortable riding position for the city and modern styling. Weighing 165kg dry, it’s a fairly light bike while the engine delivers around 35hp. If Yamaha gives the green light, the bike could be available as well as in Europe as in the U.S. Stay tuned!

According to the press release, „the new MT-25 brings the sporty feeling that is enjoyed in the everyday speed ranges of the MT-09 and MT-07 (launched principally in developed markets last year) and the character of the MT series to the 250cc class. Moreover, through its development based on the platform (including engine, frame etc.) of the ‘YZF-R25′, which has already won high praise in the ASEAN and developed markets, it delivers both superior handling and cost-performance.”
The MT-25 could come to Europe or to the States
The development concept is the „street cheetah”, which can nimbly cut through the urban jungle and take the lead in the traffic flow.
Its main features include:
- Riding position suited to agile yet comfortable city riding
- Design that expresses the ‘mass forward silhouette’ and feeling of mass centralization shared across the ‘MT’ series
- Two-cylinder engine that brings a sense of elation to mid- and high-speed range
- Lightweight 165kg body design that contributes to nimble handling
In recent years, the popularity of sports models has continued to increase in Indonesia, and last year Yamaha Motor launched new products such as the YZF-R15 and YZF-R25 designed for those who love the road racing scene. Along with these high-value-added models, the new MT-25 will contribute to further heightening the sporting image of the Yamaha brand, and expanding Yamaha Motor’s sales throughout the overall market.
