Yamaha MT25
Yamaha MT25 Overview
Yamaha has been a very strong brand in Indian two-wheeler market for quite some time and the Japanese brand is emphasizing on increasing its market share here in recent times. A part of that strategy is attributed to launching new and high-performance premium products in the sub-500 cc segment. Following the plan, the brand is keen to launch Yamaha MT-25 naked bike in the country market in coming months. We can expect it to be launched here sometime this year. The naked streetfighter comes with a sharp and aggressive and bold stance that grabs attention at the very first glimpse. There is a sharp and crafted looking headlamp delivering strong illumination. The fully digital instrument cluster on top of the headlamp adds premiumness and style to the bike, while the sculpted looking fuel tank and tank scoops come adding masculinity to the Yamaha MT-25.
The colour schemes too add style to the bike. It gets a low positioned rider seat that not only gives the rider a comfortable riding stance, but ensures great control over the machine. A stepped up and split pillion seat is also there. At the back, the bike gets split grab rail, a compact and sharp LED taillight. It runs on black alloy wheels with sporty rim decals adding further zing. There is a thick skid plate at the bottom protecting the engine block from scratch.
