Yamaha Mt-25 Review

Used Buyer Review

The 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.
