Yamaha Motor Indonesia has unveiled the world premiere of the muscular naked 250cc bike that is the Yamaha MT-25 with the tag line ‘Ini Penguasa Jalanan’. Said to be the pure street naked bike and we kind of agree with it since this bike is based on the same engine with the YZF-R25 which is one of the most powerful 2-cylinder 250cc available in the market right now.
Yamaha MT-25 is the 4th model from the MT or the ‘Dark’ series. We can see earlier there is the MT-09 3-cylinder beast, MT-07 2-cylinder bike and the beginner’s bike, the MT-125. The introduction of the MT-25 fits the lineup nicely and this means that the MT series can almost fit all the riders category in the naked segment.
The differences of the bike can be seen with the higher handlebar position that makes it is easier to reach without crouching forward. Naked bike is a bike where riders can take it to urban riding in the city where the handling for the traffic is more important that just outright speed. What surprises me is that the bike is having the same seat height as the YZF-R25, but this is then understood since the YZF-R25 is made as the ‘everyday superbike’. This means that the YZF-R25 is already low in the seat height position at 780mm (for comparison, KTM RC390 seat height is 820mm).
The one in silver blue is nice with the exposed blue-colored frame that adds the aggressiveness style to the bike. There are 3 colours that is available that is the Silver Blue, Red Rage and Black Strike.
The 2015 Yamaha MT-25 is priced at Rp 46 million OTR (or RM12917.39 direct conversion). It is NOT available in Malaysia… yet…
