A category of 01

At Yamaha, creating unique, awe-inspiring machines with rich characters is our specialty. The MT-01 is a classic example. This model is not built in the pursuit of rpm, kph or bhp, but to offer the sensation of low down torque combined with superb handling.

As such, MT-01’s mature performance is the next step in sport motorcycle development. If there’s one element that dominates the perception of the MT-01, it’s the engine... the Kodo. Like the beat of a Japanese big drum, Kodo is a vibration of the soul, a therapeutic pulse, an immutable and irresistible force that propels you, whether through life or up a twisty mountain road. With a precise, rigid chassis and aggressive steering geometry, MT-01 is one motorcycle that can talk the torque and walk the walk.
