Yamaha's MT-01 Experience - Preview By cebucybermoto Published: March 7, 2007 Print
Ive been watching for this bike from prototype down to the official MT-01 release, and the first review is what drives interest to me. Everybody thought that this is going to be a replacement to the iconic VMAX, but it aint.
Its a class on its own, and some say its a sports bike for the real world because of its sportsbike agility with a torque monster machine taken from the proven warrior engine. All these criticism leads me to dig more about this motorcycle that only few owned. Plus, the fact that its only intended for European market ads exclusivity for the elite group of people.
Its a naked bike, its a sportsbike, its a vtwin cruiser...its an MT-01. No amount of exuberance brings you than see this fascinating machine in front of your naked eye. Breathing fire, and shakes the ground every stroke of its two huge cylinder in V configuration.
By looking at it alone, you can judge directly that its a pure hybrid, from the R1 radial brakes and R1 derived adjustable suspension. Everything is neatly molded with an in-your-face design. I only get a change to look at it face to face with this awesome machine. Pictures wont do justice, so im providing you with video that I took. The bike is in stock condition, and those pipes are begging for an after-market replacement (but it aint cheap).
So for now, we'll just have to content with some pictures, and of course a tick over video. Check it out. Bikes Provided by Change Gear
krumpff - March 9, 2007 That's one hot mean machine! *sigh*stare*sigh*more stare*more sigh*
keeker - March 9, 2007 i've always been a fan of sport-naked bikes... always been a dreamer of Honda CBs, Buells & Aprilia Tuonos... sport-standard cults.
but this M1 certainly is a sweeeet naked-sport bike. not much what-is-this detail but straight-forward outta this world design unlike the euros.
it's fun to add this one on my dreamlist!
