YAHAMA MT

MT 01
The Yamaha MT 01 is Yamaha's exclusive international sports super bike for the Indian Markets. Imported intoIndia as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), its looks are killing and its massive 1670 cc engine delivers raw power of up to 90 BHP. The price of this bike is prohibitive for the ordinary Indian masses, for at around10.5 lakhs, it is meant for only avid bike enthusiasts in the select Indian market. Currently, it has beenlaunched at four cities inIndia namely Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Chennai. While Bangalore has two dealers, the other cities have one dealer each.





MT-01 - Torque like a hammer

It's a genius idea – unite a hi-tech 1,670cc V-twin with an aluminium sports frame and cutting-edge suspension and brakes – and you've got a sports riding revolution. There is nothing like the MT-01: a massive engine that produces huge torque for hammer-blow acceleration, a sports chassis that knifes through the turns, a pulsating exhaust note that's total aural ecstasy and monumental styling that'll stop the traffic.

Racing Instinct. - Passing on the “R series” DNA -
-

- Humachine Technologies & Sensual Racing Form -

The YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 are equipped with under cowls that are based on the image of a diffuser, to give them the

best form for aero-management. These are not cowls for simply enclosing the engine, but forms composed of blade

surfaces that actively control airflow. This spirit has been directly inherited by the YZF-R15.

“Harmony between rider and machine.” YAMAHA's Human Technology involves studying the form of the motorcycle

actually in motion with the rider on it. The R series is the embodiment of
1) a wide frontal space that protects the rider,
2) an easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and allows them to steer effectively,
3) the glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of airflow behind the rider, and
4) a sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a harmonious package. These characteristics

have been splendidly reproduced in the YZF-R15.

Additionally, the designs were developed in the same modeling room where YZF-R1 designers worked. Information

was shared, ensuring that the R lineage would be transmitted. In addition, the model also incorporates a multitude of

adjustments for the Indian market including seat shape that allows for tandem riding (integrated with the main seat),

tandem grips that are easy to grip and also contribute to the supersport design, and a riding position that takes into

account comfort, etc. In other words, the YZF-R15 is characterized by a hybrid design that combines the world-class

design of the “R” series with localized functions. The YZF-R15 was created to lead the supersport category in India.
