Yamaha Mt-25
The Yamaha Mt-25 has a top speed of 145 km/h, produces 35 hp and weighs 167 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Yamaha MT-25 werd in 2015 geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van Yamaha's groeiende MT-serie (Master of Torque) naked streetfighter, voornamelijk gericht op Aziatische markten zoals Indonesië, Thailand en Latijns-Amerika. Hij deelt zijn 249 cc parallel-twin-motorplatform met de YZF-R25 sportbike en biedt een meer rechtopstaande en agressieve naakte rijpositie die geschikt is voor woon-werkverkeer in de stad en beginnende rijders. De MT-25 kreeg in 2022 een aanzienlijke facelift met een scherpere vormgeving uit de MT-familie, LED-verlichting en vernieuwde ergonomie, waardoor zijn populariteit als premium naaktfiets op instapniveau in opkomende markten werd versterkt.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Honest, durable learner bike that won't embarrass you on corners."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe MT-25 is essentially a naked R25 with flat bars, and that's not a bad thing. The 249cc parallel-twin revs cleanly to its 14,000rpm redline and rewards riders who work it hard. It's not fast by any measurable standard, but the chassis is genuinely planted and the brakes are surprisingly confidence-inspiring for the segment. For new riders or returning ones, there's real engagement here without the terror. Used examples typically rack up mileage from delivery riders or learners, so inspect the fairing edges, footpegs, and bar ends carefully — tip-overs are common. Check the front fork seals since they're known to weep around 15,000km. Service history matters less than physical condition; these engines are bombproof if you change the oil regularly. Avoid anything that's been used for food delivery — those bikes get absolutely hammered. At the right price, it's a legitimate used buy with cheap parts availability and a solid dealer network. Don't overpay — supply is healthy and negotiation room exists.
