Accompanying the Yamaha YZF-R25 in Malaysia is the 2020 Yamaha MT-25 sports naked, with a recommended retail price of RM21,500. Pricing does not include road tax, insurance or registration and stocks will arrive in authorised Yamaha Malaysia dealer showrooms from the end of September.
Following the “Darkness” theme of Yamaha’s MT-series motorcycles, the MT-25 is dubbed “Rush of Darkness.” Featuring the split LED headlights of the bigger MT bikes, the MT-25 comes with a 250 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled DOHC engine, fed by EFI and a six-speed gearbox.
Power output for the MT-25 is claimed to be 35.5 hp at 12,000 rpm and 23.6 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm. The MT-25’s tank has been redesigned and incorporates air intakes on the sides.
For the front suspension, the MT-25 is equipped with KYB upside-down forks, in 37 mm diameter and 7-step preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is done with a single hydraulic disc front and rear and two-channel ABS is standard.
The LED headlight assembly is divided between the LED DRLs and a centrally mounted LED headlight . LED turn signals with hazard function is standard equipment and inside the cockpit is a full digital LCD panel that includes a shift timing light.
Weighing in at 165 kg, the MT-25 comes in two colour choices – Ice Fluo and Yamaha Blu and purchasers of Yamaha’s latest quarter-litre sports naked will receive a model specific pewter keychain by Royal Selangor. In Indonesia the Yamaha MT-25 is priced at 53.9 million rupiah (RM15,921).

Yamaha mehsia late in the game.
Should have introduce MT-25 since previous 2016 model, look more nicer than 2020 fugly front light.
If can bring in previous model mich better as it still on production.
And should bring in MT-03 too.
Agree..Kih3
Why the Rm 5,500 difference ? Gomen tax?
why the naked is more expensive than the fully faired version? is it because of the 2 channel ABS?
both version are severely outdated by now anyways, with USD forks as the only notable upgrade.
Well, better late than never. In my opinion this MT-25 offers better value than the current Honda CB250R (naked version) . The difference are:
The good:
1) Twin cylinder (single for honda)
2) Has gear indicator (CB250R doesn’t have)
3) Higher HP (35.5 vs 27.2)
4) Cheaper (21500 vs 22999)
5) 14 litres of tank (CB250r = 10.5)
6) Got side panel air intake (Honda only has it in CB650R, not CB250r)
Cons:
1) Heavier by 20kg (165 vs 145)
2) Fuel consumption confirm less than CB250r
3) Design is not as attractive as Honda neo sport cafe design (my own taste), still prefer the retro feel of Honda.
4) The peak horsepower and torque requires more rev than Honda cb250r, this could be a con for daily commuters. Or good for happy revvers.
But if you ask me to choose i will still choose Honda though. The design until now still doesn’t have direct competitors.
Correction: The fuel consumption part, it should be CB250r having better fuel economy than yamaha, due to single cylinder and lighter overall weight.
No slipper clutch?
Correct if im wrong, Indonesia’s MT25 selling at 16k without ABS.
