Seen it about a year ago as a concept bike.......Are they now making it a production model? :?
I think it's based on the RoadStar Warrior motor......& I DO like the R1 derived front stoppers :wink: 8)

I think they're about to launch the bike as it's on the UK Yam website. 8) The bike looks pretty mean and monsterous!

Cruisers are not really my cup of tea, I prefer Sport Bikes, but this MT-01 does look pretty cool! 8)

Yeah, the MT-01 is pretty cool...but given the choice, I think I'd still rather have a V-Max :tu 8)

This thing seems like more of a tractor.....Whereas the V-Max oozes with Muscle 8) .......It'd be interesting to see a drag race between the 2 :wink:
I Do like the chassis & the brakes though 8)

Good point Alex :shock: :wink:
They should upgrade that a bit,......with a teflon shield of sorts......like the 1's you see on crosser's 8) .....but then again, the [i]Style Dept. would have their say in it too......as the shock is completely outboard........right out there in front of God & Everyone :dunno
