2025 Road Model Updates

  • By Element 7 Digital
Following the news of the all-new MT-07 for 2025, we are pleased to announce the rest of the Dark Side of Japan models have been announced. The new third colour Ice Storm carries across the range to join Icon Blue and Tech Black.

Updated MT-03
All other models are unchanged apart from MT-03 which receives a redesigned tail section, a new seat that improves reach to the ground, an Assist and Slipper clutch with lighter lever pull and smartphone connectivity allowing riders to be notified of incoming calls and messages via a new LCD meter.

Updated XSR900
The naked XSR900 roadster sees a number of updates for 2025, the main change being a new fully adjustable KYB rear shock absorber with remote preload adjuster. A new linkage is specified to match and fork settings adjusted to suit.

A sleeker and more stylish seat - that is also 20% softer - is specified along with a new 5in TFT with connectivity and three themes including the option for an old school analogue look dash. Three set ride modes and two customisable modes come courtesy of the Yamaha Ride control system.

Onboard navigation can be displayed using the Garmin StreetCross app and there is a data transfer function that allows images from your smartphone to be transferred to the dash.
Other new features include a new handlebar shape and switchgear which features three new turn signal functions, easier to use shift pedal, an adjustable clutch lever, Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres and a USB-C charging socket. Yamaha's Variable Speed Limiter joins cruise control.

A striking new black and gold colour option is also available called Midnight Black.

Pricing and arrival timing is not currently available for either model.
