This has come as an absolute surprise. We never thought that Yamaha are keeping on its shed this 2014 Yamaha MT-125 with the tagline ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’. The MT-125 are targeted as the learners bike for those who are looking for a streetfighter style ride but easy to handle for beginners. It got all the aura of its bigger brother, the 2-inline 689cc MT-07 and 3-inline 850cc MT-09 for that street-cred that some might be looking for. If you still remember, the ‘Dark’ trend started with the MT-09 ‘Discover Your Dark Side’ and then followed with MT-07 with ‘Rise Up Your Darkness’. Now it is seemingly correct to tag this MT-125 ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ that can be related to the easy handling and more manageable power of the 125cc engine.  

Base from the YZF-R125 platform, this would make it economical for both Yamaha and its riders since many of the performance parts are readily available on the market. YZF-R125 platform also provide the stiff chassis and great performing engine in its class. Styling of the MT and the handling dynamics of the YZF can be a good combination for a competitive market.

  24. Ternyata yamaha mncipta chasis deltabox dan enjin bersaiz 125/150cc ini boleh dipelbagaikn, bermula dr R125, R15, Fz150i, Vixion lightning, dan ini yg terkini… MT-125… berasaskn chasis dan sistem enjin yg sama.. pendek kata FZ boleh di modi ke pelbagai rupa…

  37. Naper lah tak jadi cth mcm kawasaki punya model line klu time bikeshow utk keluaran di pasaran ..seketul seperti kat bikeshow..bukan mcm Fzi 150 baru biler ader bikeshow kickstarter ada bila mula dipasaran malaysia.. Takder plak haihh ngarut jer.
