Yamaha has officially unveiled the 2025 MT-125, the latest addition to its MT (Master of Torque) streetfighter lineup. Packed with premium features, updated design, and advanced connectivity, the MT-125 is aimed at young riders seeking style, power, and modern tech. However, India may not see this model on roads anytime soon.
🚀 Engine and Performance
The 2025 MT-125 is powered by a 124cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers approximately 14.7 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 11.5 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. Yamaha’s signature VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology ensures excellent low- and mid-range torque, making it both city-friendly and highway-capable.
🧠 Technology and Features
- All-new 5-inch full-color TFT digital display
- Bluetooth smartphone connectivity
- Turn-by-turn navigation, music info, and weather updates
- Full LED lighting setup
- Dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety
🛠️ Design and Build
The MT-125 boasts a fresh and aggressive look inspired by its larger siblings in the MT series. It features a new twin-eye LED headlamp setup, muscular fuel tank, sharp bodywork, and premium build quality. The Deltabox frame, 41mm USD front forks, and wide 140mm rear tire ensure solid road grip and agile handling.
🇮🇳 Will It Launch in India?
Despite growing interest, Yamaha has confirmed that the MT-125 will not be launched in India for now. Indian riders will have to settle for the MT-15, which shares a similar design language but lacks many of the MT-125’s premium features.

🔚 Conclusion
The 2025 Yamaha MT-125 stands out as a top-tier entry-level naked bike with futuristic features and stylish design. While it’s a compelling option for European markets, Indian enthusiasts may have to wait — or stick to the MT-15 — until Yamaha decides to bring this power-packed machine to the subcontinent.
