Yamaha has just landed two new interesting models for 2025. Without doubt the most ‘interesting’ is the all-new MT-09 Y-AMT with automatic transmission. We especially like this matt grey version with turquoise wheels.

Oh yes, the MT-09 now receives a fully automatic transmission, which can be used in a fully automatic mode, or by changing gear using the ‘paddle’ buttons on the left side switch gear. Yamaha SA has recently announced the price of R259, 950. Linex Yamaha already has a demo unit if you’d like to try out this new bike.

Also, the vastly updated 2025 MT-07 is now here for you to buy, with a retail price of R179, 950. It certainly looks the part in this new black colour option, don’t you agree?

Get in touch with your local Yamaha dealer for more information and availability, or, visit Linex Yamaha in Jo’burg to see both the bikes in ‘person’ and book a test ride today.

Husqvarna Racing is set to charge into the 2025 racing season with a dominant line-up of championship-winning riders. Every rider on the roster is a proven titleholder, ready to defend their crowns and chase even greater success.

Leading the charge is Davin Cocker (#1), who dominated the 2024 season by clinching both the Overall and Open Cross Country championships. A fierce competitor known for his relentless drive and aggressive racing style, Cocker will once again take on the Open class aboard his Husqvarna FX 350. With a target on his back as the reigning champion, all eyes will be on him as he aims to defend his title.

Returning for his second year in the OR3 class is Luke Walker (#312), who had a standout 2024 season, securing the OR3 championship while also finishing third overall in the series. Armed with his Husqvarna FE 250, Walker is determined to hold onto his title and build on last year’s success. Not one to be confined to a single discipline, Walker also made waves in the Enduro scene, showing remarkable consistency by finishing second in the final three rounds of the season in the E1 class. This year, he will continue to push the limits in Enduro aboard his Husqvarna FE 250.

Completing the trio is Travis Teasdale (#1), an undisputed force in the Enduro world. Teasdale had a phenomenal 2024 season, securing both the Overall and E2 Traditional Enduro titles, while also dominating the National Hard Enduro Gold Class. His expert technical skill, coupled with unmatched endurance, makes him a formidable opponent in every race he enters. For 2025, Teasdale will be back on his Husqvarna TE 300, determined to maintain his hold on the top spot.

The action kicks off this coming weekend in Bronkhorstspruit, where Cocker and Walker will line up to defend their Cross Country titles in the season opener. A rider lineup stacked with talent and commitment to excellence, Husqvarna Racing is primed for another season of high-octane success
