December 28th, 2007Review of Yamaha MT 01
This now keeps getting enhanced and better. Yamaha has just introduced its macho bike, the MT 01 in India. One seems at the mean machine and you will desire to stare at it unabashedly with a wide grin on your face. picture what taking this bike for test drive would do to your sanity! The Yamaha MT 01 bike is a dream-come-true for all you biking fan. This fire-breathing bike (not literally though!) is a beautiful box up of style, unadulterated power and reassure. Though the exact price is not clear, it is estimated to be between Rs. 9- 11 Lakhs.
The strong engine of the MT 01 unleashes a power of around 1700 cc, which makes you want to take this thing of loveliness to the highway and free its full strangle. The tire pipes, which look like rocket launchers, are beautifully located just below the rear seat and the seat is by far the most at ease bike seat you could ever sit on. The air cooled V-twin engine has a torque of 150 Nm at 3750 rpm, sufficient to bump-start an aircraft! The bike gives out a powerful shaking when kept idle, but it soon eases out into a harmonious sound when go earlier. The clutch is very smooth and gear altering is as polished as butter.
The headlight is a bit conservative when it comes to intend but is quite influential and effectual. There is a very fashionable dash panel with a 3D effect analogue tachometer. It also comes with a digital speedometer and light up tool panel. Though it looks in chunks and heavy, the CF die-cast skill makes the bike light and compact and thus easy to plan. The Yamaha MT 01 comes in colors of Lava Red, rivalry White and Midnight Black. Preparation to buy it? Then get set to face envious stares and wolf screech on the roa
