The 2006 Yamaha MT-01 is a unique, no-compromise muscle roadster powered by a massive 1670cc air-cooled V-twin that produces 90 bhp and a huge 110 ft-lb of torque. It delivers its power low down — from just 1,500 to 5,000 rpm — with brutal, lumpy drive and one of the best V-twin exhaust notes around. While R1-derived brakes provide strong stopping power. It turns with more agility than its size suggests and feels composed on fast roads or twisty sections. The upright riding position offers a commanding view and decent comfort for longer rides, especially for taller or bigger riders, with a supportive seat that many owners rate highly.
Styling is pure concept-bike madness — radical looks, exposed engine, minimal bodywork, and excellent build quality with superb attention to detail and finishes that still look special today.
Owners love it for the addictive torque, thunderous sound, strong reliability (5/5 rating), and sheer character. Servicing is cheap (around £120 a year) and it delivers a big, grin-inducing riding experience like nothing else in the class.
Raw, torquey V-twin fun with real road presence.
