Yamaha Mt-25
The Yamaha MT-25 was introduced in 2015 as part of Yamaha's expanding MT (Master of Torque) naked streetfighter lineup, primarily targeting Asian markets such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Latin America. It shares its 249cc parallel-twin engine platform with the YZF-R25 sportbike, offering a more upright and aggressive naked riding position suited for urban commuting and beginner riders. The MT-25 received a significant facelift in 2022 with sharper MT-family styling, LED lighting, and updated ergonomics, cementing its popularity as a premium entry-level naked bike in emerging markets.

What Buyers Should Know
Bulletproof R25 Engine
The MT-25 shares its 249cc parallel-twin engine with the YZF-R25, a unit known for exceptional reliability with minimal major failures reported. Regular oil changes every 3,000–4,000 km keep it running strong for well over 50,000 km.
Watch the Radiator Fan
A known issue among MT-25 owners is premature radiator fan failure, especially in stop-and-go city riding conditions. Check that the fan kicks on properly during a test ride and inspect for any overheating history.
Strong Resale Retention
The MT-25 holds its resale value well in the 250cc segment due to strong brand trust and consistent demand from new riders. A well-maintained unit typically retains 70–80% of its value after two years.
