YAMAHA MT-25 (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha MT-25 is a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha since 2014 until the present (2023). The bike was powered by a 250cc and was their first sports motorcycle since the four-cylinder FZR250 sold from 1986 to 1994. At first, the bike was named YZF-R25, while in 2015, its name was changed to MT-25.

The bike was launched in Indonesia and featured several new elements, such as a new headlight, an air scoop on the side of the fuel tank, and a different cowl at the rear. Also, removing the fairing resulted in one kg (2.2 lbs) weight loss.

The chassis and suspension remained unchanged, like the front telescopic fork and a monoshock setup at the rear, bolted to a budget truss frame, like the CBR250R model.

The bike had standard features in the aesthetic department, such as a single headlight unit, a small fly screen, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

The 2015 Yamaha MT-25 had installed a 249cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 36 hp at 12,000 rpm and 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) torque at 10,000 rpm.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 298 mm disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 220 mm disc tied to a two-piston caliper on the rear, delivering optimum stopping performance.
