The fully-faired Yamaha R25 is still on the charts for the Indian enthusiasts and here comes its naked version to spice up the wait with excitement. A naked street-fighter sibling of the faired version is spotted testing over the Indonesian roads. This could be the next quarter-liter sports motorcycle, Yamaha has enlisted over the upcoming list. According to the spy shots, the spied street-fighter has also acquired the very same muscular styling and aggressiveness in its design. The upcoming quarter-liter street-fighter could be christened as "MT-25", which is associated with the naked MT series of sports motorcycles.
Discussing about the cosmetic makeover acquired by the MT-25, its muscular fuel tank is more than enough to hold your eyes. The air-scoops covering the front half of the fuel tank on both the sides seems like they are shielding it. The exposed chassis also come under one of the major styling head procured by the upcoming MT-25. However, the firm would be designing this upcoming motorcycle in a pretty much similar manner which relates it to the MT series of motorcycles.

Following the spy shots, we can discover the tail lamps and rear section similar to the full-faired Yamaha R25. Being the naked sibling of the Yamaha R25, the MT-25 would be expected to share various mechanical components. Starting from the base, the MT-25 will be built around a lightweight semi-trellis diamond-type steel frame. The naked street-fighter gets the very same quarter-liter power plant for amazing performance. It is powered by a parallel-twin motor carrying an engine displacement of 250cc. The quarter-liter motor is tuned to fetch out a churning power of 35.5 BHP and a peak torque of 22.1 Nm.
The Yamaha MT-25 would probably be making its official or global debut in the second half of the fiscal year, 2015. The naked quarter-liter street-fighter will be competing with the various other existing 250cc segment motorcycles such as Kawasaki Z250, Duke 200, etc.
