From a press release issued By Yamaha Motor Corp:

New connected TFT meters for the best-selling MT-07 & MT-125

With their brutal no-compromise styling, muscular chassis designs and thrilling torque-rich crossplane engine technology, it’s no surprise that Yamaha’s Hyper Naked models have established themselves as the best-selling models in their respective categories.

Inspired by the alternative biking culture characterized by the Dark Side of Japan philosophy, the MT range has achieved 10 years of continued success in the European market. With over 420.000 sold, these Yamaha Hyper Nakeds have created their very own subculture of MT riders who have been inspired by their raw appeal and the ability to deliver stunning real-world performance.

Delivering an impressive mix of super agile handling, outstanding acceleration and uncompromising attitude, the MT line up covers the whole segment from 125cc through to 1000cc, offering a seamless step-up for every rider of any age.

For 2023 this outstandingly successful range is reinforced with higher specification versions of the MT-07 and MT-125. The full lineup is completed with the iconic MT-09 & MT-09 SP and the remarkable MT-10 & MT-10 SP – the most powerful Yamaha Hyper Naked.

2023 MT-125: New 5-inch connected full-colour TFT meter

With its forceful good looks, great value and Yamaha Hyper Naked family DNA, the MT-125 is one of the best-selling models in its class. Popular with a wide range of customers from A1 license holders through to more experienced riders looking for a characterful lightweight, the MT-125 is upgraded for 2023 with a new 5-inch full-colour TFT screen that gives smartphone connectivity.

The system is identical to the new design featured on the MT-07, however only one display theme is available – Street Theme. After Yamaha’s MyRide app is downloaded to the rider’s smartphone and linked to the MT-125’s communication control unit, riders can view incoming call, email and message notifications on the full colour screen.

If set up accordingly, the system can also notify the rider of any technical issue that may be detected on the MT-125 and can transmit a notification via email to a motorcycle dealer or any other contact that has been designated by the rider.

As well as enabling smartphone connectivity, Yamaha’s free MyRide app also adds another dimension to every ride by recording a range of data on every journey. It enables the rider to review routes taken as well as look at other information regarding the bike’s performance. It’s a great way to learn more about the way they use the bike and remember favourite roads and places they visit – and it’s great for sharing and comparing with like-minded MT riders on social media.

New traction control system

The MT-125 already has a comprehensive specification including a 125cc engine with torque-boosting Variable Valve Actuation, as well as an Assist and Slipper clutch, upside down forks and large diameter disc brakes. For 2023 the MT-125’s level of equipment is further refined with a new traction control system that gives the rider an even higher level of confidence and control.

2023 MT-125: New features

- 5-inch full-colour TFT meter
- Smartphone connectivity with MyRide app
- Traction control system

Colours - MT-125 will continue to be available in Cyan Storm, Icon Blue and Tech Black.
