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.
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.
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.
Ensuring riders stay connected and informed on every ride is a five-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity via the free Yamaha MyRide app and integrated navigation with turn-by-turn directions. This connectivity allows the rider to manage calls, music and messages while on the go.
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.
The new 2027 MT-125 will be available with four colour options: Ice Storm, Redline White, Icon Blue and Tech Black.
The MT-125 will be available in European Yamaha Dealers in Q1/2027. For full information regarding prices and delivery dates, please contact the national Yamaha distributor.
Yamaha has developed a range of packs and individual Genuine Accessories that enable the MT-125 owner to easily personalize their motorcycle.
Customers can order the packs and accessories before collecting their new motorcycle and have them fitted by their Yamaha dealer. All the items in the packs can also be purchased individually.
Yamaha’s free MyRide app offers all MT riders the chance to get more out of their riding experience with route tracking and creation, riding information such as lean angle, distance covered and more. Plus, users can create their own story, add pictures and share to social media and the MyRide community. For MT-125, MyRide is also the app that enables smartphone connectivity.
