totalmotorcycle.com THX!!!! :dthumb:

I guess the question is, do I get it in Silver or Black? I kind'a like the black. http://totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006-Yamaha-MT-01d.jpg http://totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006-Yamaha-MT-01a.jpg

black. and wrap the exhaust. :cheers: have you seen the MT-03? niiice. and not for us apparently. http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/Images/2006_MT-03_Photo_08_tcm26-87940.jpg http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/Images/2006_MT-03_Visual2_tcm26-87995.jpg

black. and wrap the exhaust. :cheers: Wrap the exhaust? :scratch: Are you talking about header wrap? The mufflers are covered with a shield and have a fan that blows air through to keep them cool. have you seen the MT-03? niiice. and not for us apparently. Yes I checked out the MT-03. Looks cool if you want a Motard. :dthumb:

wrap the header pipes. looks pymph. not up to the can.... but you know what i mean. Looking at the euro yamaha site, the naked fz1 nad fz6 are hot!

Looking at the euro yamaha site, the naked fz1 nad fz6 are hot! Been there many times trying to convince the wife I need the MT-01 when it gets here. :whistle: :lol:

thats funny.... :lol: i spend more time on the euro sites than US. They get so many more models, and the ones we get are cooler over there. Like the Rizla GSXR they had a year ago. :drool:

Both my dealers say no way its coming this year. :nonod: Maybe next. :disapp: They think they already know about all the 06 models and cant get what they have ordered. :crazy: I was asked why if they cant get enough R6's and R1's to the US. Why bother with a new model. I don't know the answer to any of it.:scratch:

whats the projected costs on this machine here?

Unknown From the Euro conversions and guesstimations. Probable will be close to 11G's

Unknown From the Euro conversions and guesstimations. Probable will be close to 11G's hmmm...I'd go with something else for 11k then.

hmmm...I'd go with something else for 11k then. That's not for sure. It may be way cheaper. I just have to wait and see when and if it gets here. :tt:

That's not for sure. It may be way cheaper. I just have to wait and see when and if it gets here. :tt: it should be about the same price as a sv :2cents: maybe a lil more...but not too much more.

it should be about the same price as a sv :2cents: maybe a lil more...but not too much more. 1670cc V-Twin with the suspension of a R1 and you think its going to be a little more than the SV. :crazy:

1670cc V-Twin with the suspension of a R1 and you think its going to be a little more than the SV. :crazy: can i have wishful thinking :lol:

$11G's isn't bad is Jeeps... alot of other bikes go for WAY more!

Most all the big Twin bikes start in that area.

Yeah but that's just sportbikes...

Have you priced any Kaw's or V Stars. Most all the big Twins go for 10+. Some of the smaller starter bikes go for less. He!! the Damn 600 SB's are going to 10+ before long. :cry:

I like that, I'd buy one. :dthumb:

I guess the question is, do I get it in Silver or Black? I kind'a like the black. Just change the cans man...Akrapovic titanium (what the local Yamaha shop has here) looks so much better than those HUGE things Yamaha put on. It's a real blast to ride too :drool:

it is quite a mean looking machine. I wish they would stop tho, since buying the wife's new car I'm not allowed to buy any new toys for a while.

JK, it's a little like the Fazer, only a little longer reach. The torque is AWESOME like the Fazer 1000 and it really is like all the magazines and testers say: Sport Cruiser. It's plenty fast and you really can lay it over in the turns. Top speed of course...well, there isn't any protection, so anything over 120mph is pretty hard on the upper body. 80-100mph is just fine though. Did I mention lots of torque? It really is fun. Not like the R6 like I have, but different. If I had enough $$$ I'd have both, but the 600 won that battle...

If I had enough $$$ I'd have both, but the 600 won that battle... That happens with allot of people.:whistle: I just wish they would make it public when or if its actually coming to the US. Internet and mag articles are all just speculations at this point. The one posted at the beginning of this thread is the only one that say it will be here.:scratch: Till I see it on the Yamaha's web page. I wont be holding my breath. :tt:

Bump due to recent interest.:whore:

says its 16 g'z here so prolly round 13 there, hell of a bike tho, but i agree. The cans gotta go

I could deal with the cans if I could just get one for under 20 G's. That's about what it would cost to get it shipped over the pond and registered here. Not quit worth it to me.:disapp: The good thing is, If it does make it state side. There will be plenty of aftermarket parts for it. Its been in Europe for a while now and seems to be popular.

I may look into this further. If You guys got'em. Then its just some legal PATA stuff to get it registered here. New vin and everything.:cursin:

i havny seen any here yet, but they got a payment thing on the site so i guess you can order,

Like I said. Getting the bike is the easy part. Making it legal is the PITA.

Dont know if this guys takin the pizz but this was in a trhead about em Re: I want a Yamaha MT-01 !! (Score: 1) By eisenfaust on Wednesday, June 29 2005 @ 10:44:22 PDT (User Info | Send a Message) Ahem, not sure if it matters. BUT. A friend of mine works in US Customs (shipping/container inspection) on the west coast. He's also an avid rider, the guy primarily responsible for me getting into riding. Anyway, he inspected, by chance, a container coming into the US from europe (Belgium, IIRC). Inside said container, along with a bunch of other stuff, was a big crate marked "BUELL", headed to Corbin Industries. Finding it rather odd that a Buell was getting shipped from belgium in a container full of non-moto-related-stuff, he cracked open the crate. Inside was a shiny new Yamaha MT-01. Just give it some time. If theyre already sending them to aftermarket companies for parts development, we'll be getting them.

They had an 05 MT-01 last year at the Knoxville Honda Hoot at the Corbin tent. That was the first one I saw in person. It just confirmed my desire to own one.

I'd buy one...if I liked it. I don't like it. I'd rather pick up a GSXR 750 than that, and I don't like GSXR's.

if there gonna be more than they say already. id buy a Buell, and thats comin from a Yama nut, apperently it handles well but its not the beast i thought it was, says the 1600 mill is no superbike killer. It jus looks so radical :yikes:

thats stilla big ass mill, it HAS to make power! :yikes:

thats stilla big ass mill, it HAS to make power! :yikes: Proly. I just can't see myself on such a powerhouse and in that riding position. I like the forward position of the rockets.

Its big, but they did say they got 3 perfomance packages, stage1 , 2, and 3, 1 bieng street legal, 2-3 are from akropovic and are for track only, and they do have Akros for it, look the same only Ti :yikes:

I believe it has the same engine as the Worrier (Yamaha's power cruiser) Should be plenty of power to keep up with the 6's (not beat them). The benefits will come from the huge torque numbers that a V Twin is know for. From what I have read on the Euro sites, It handles as well or better than other standards like the FZ6. Basically, this bike wasn't built to compete in the sportbike market but as an alternative to them with out having to step all the way over to a cruiser.

That would explain why one forum all the N. Americans said they didnt wanna wait and bought Warroirs instead, said it was cheaper to modify the bike anyways, but those haul bawlz anyhow

The Worrier would only be able to compete in power and comfort. It may be the best handling cruiser on the market in the US right now but its still a cruiser. The MT would dominate any other aspect of performance. Comfort could be argued as well. That would depend more on the rider to decide.
