Next-Generation Yamaha MT-125: A Legacy that can’t be beaten
More than a decade ago, Yamaha changed the scope of motorcycling with the new Hyper Naked range, featuring the revolutionary MT-09, MT-07, MT-03 and MT-125. The MT family set the benchmark, defined the class and inspired a new generation of riders, creating a legacy that can’t be beaten.
Since then, each model has evolved, retaining their unmistakable aggressive styling, exceptional handling ability, and thrilling torque-rich power through every iteration. For 2027, the MT-125 joins the next-generation Hyper Naked.
Attitude That Excites: Welcome To The Next Generation
The next generation MT-125 features an aggressive and bold new design. A stretched, leaner silhouette thanks to a new seat makes this motorcycle instantly recognisable as part of the MT family whether tearing through city streets or parked up.
A sculpted new tank shape, combined with a distinctive textured panel along the side fairing with a transparent smoked, glitchy pattern with a visible MT logo give the MT-125 its ageless attitude. The new shape provides added comfort for the rider both in a relaxed position when commuting through city streets, and in a more aggressive position when tackling twisty bends for the thrill of the ride.
Exceptional Handling And Modern Technology
Retaining its 125cc engine with VVA, Deltabox frame, 41mm upside down forks and 810mm seat height, the 2027 MT-125 boasts the same exceptional handling, grip and control that riders are accustomed to. Its torque-rich acceleration and performance is guaranteed to thrill.

Ready To Excite
Known for its urban attitude, the latest distinctive face design of the MT-125 features a brand new sharp, angular look, with updated blade-like LED lights and front indicators making the stare of the MT-125 more intimidating than ever before. This modern design is paired with a dark smoked transparent front mask with a frosted effect ‘MT-125’ logo to complete the look.
Designed to catch the eye, a higher contrast colour scheme has been introduced with Redline White, including a two-tone seat, joining the existing iconic colour lineup of Ice Storm, Icon Blue and Tech Black, with a bold new ‘125’ side graphic across the tank of each colour model. Aggressive by nature, bold by design and built to thrill, the 2027 MT-125 is ready to excite.
