Torque like a hammer
• • •
The MT-01 puts a massive high-tech, air-cooled 1,670cc V-twin engine in a minimalist aluminium sports frame – it’s a sports riding revolution. This is a huge torque machine that can knife through the turns.
• •
This, then, is ‘torque sports’: a massive engine in a nimble frame, with an exhaust note to invigorate the spirit and a sculpted style to stop the traffic. There really is nothing like the MT-01, with its mighty engine delivering hammerblow acceleration to push you on wherever you go. Couple this with cutting-edge suspension and brakes, and you get a powerful, confident and exhilarating ride.

MT Series: bikes with soulbeat
Kodo is a Japanese noun that means pulse or soulbeat. It is not a simple concept to explain, but it is an easy thing to feel. Imagine the atmosphere created by the beat of Japanese big drums and you’ll begin to get the idea. That’s the kind of soulbeat that Yamaha’s engineers have built into the MT series, with engines designed to let you feel the rhythm of the power beneath, like a heartbeat rising and falling. The MT series exemplifies the spirit that has made Yamaha one of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers, and is one of the most significant developments in motorcycling in recent years.

Hi-tech engine
Sports chassis
Bold exhaust
The MT-01’s air-cooled, 4-stroke, V-type, 2-cylinder, 4-valve engine produces breathtaking levels of power. This massive engine unleashes a primal sound and aggressive acceleration as it serves up 150.3 Nm of torque at 3,750 rpm and 66.3 kW of power at 4,750 rpm.
The MT-01’s mighty engine powers a nimble sports chassis: an aluminium, die-cast, double cradle frame that allows the bike to slice through turns and manoeuvre with the dexterity of a far smaller machine. And its gracefully muscular styling will ensure heads turn wherever you go.
The MT-01 gives a wonderfully throaty and satisfying grunt whenever you raise the revs - it’s the kind of sound that people ride bikes to hear. Its EXUP exhaust and twin titanium mufflers finish in a bold and dramatic upward swoop to complete the effect - and naturally, it meets all EU3 low emissions standards.
Sports suspension
Perfect gear ratios
R1 derived braking
In keeping with the MT-01’s sporty shape and spectacular acceleration, the suspension system borrows from Yamaha’s supersport programme. It has a trussstyle swingarm and horizontally-mounted fully adjustable rear shocks, and 43 mm upside-down forks at the front.
To handle the huge torque of the massive V-twin engine, Yamaha found the perfect gear ratio settings. This enhances the power pulse sensation, giving you a very special riding experience, and the best performance in each gear, making the bike run just as smoothly in town as on the open road.
As befits a machine of this power, the MT-01 has high-specification YZF-R1 derived, 6-pot radial brakes, which have already established a reputation as some of the best around. Originally, these were designed for race and large-capacity supersport bikes, and the radial mounting gives enhanced braking and accurate rider feedback.
