Yamaha MT-03, a sexy sexy bike!
I don’t know about you, but I go through stages of loving different styles of bikes. Super bikes were last months candy, this month, it’s motards, supermotos and motorcross bikes!
“Yamaha MT-03 is truly a sign of the redirection in motorcycle design”
It would be fair to say that I’m not the only one who has an un-healthy obsession with these agile and highly practical road bikes, and the motorcycle industry has done well in providing a wide variety of bikes to suit our ever, rapidly changing taste in motorcycle design.
Yamaha have done amazingly well this with super funky bike. It’s wide handle bars and upright riding position make it a very comfortable bike to ride and gives you the impression you could wheelie and bunny hop your way to work, capable of tackling ANY situation. The true value of the Yamaha MT-03 is it’s sexed-up-fun-factor. I love the ultra cool suspension system which looks like the hind legs of a robot from the future, progressive to say the least.
“The Yamaha MT-03, single cylinder 660cc engine”
The Yamaha MT-03 is truly a sign of the redirection in motorcycle design, it offers enough power to excite the experienced rider, but in my mind, is the ULTIMATE first bike. Again, that wide handle bar stance will give you heaps of confidence, and it’s forgiving enough to develop your skills.
Living in Barcelona, I see guys tearing in and out of traffic on these supermotos every day, equipped with sleek motocross style helmets and backpacks, which I assume are filled with the packed lunch their mothers make them ;). I guess, unlike us Brits, these guys more than enjoy their daily commute and I think if I had one of these to get to work on, I would too.
Unlike it’s bigger brother, the Yamaha MT-01, which has a a monstrous 1700cc, V-twinned engine, the Yamaha MT-03 has a slightly smaller single cylinder 660cc engine. It’s well made and has a tremendous low range, perfect for you stunt riders out there!
If you have one of these bikes, we’d love to hear your reviews! LEAVE A COMMENT!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
