I thought this would be another rumour. But wow!

Dont have words!

Steeroid · 18th June 2007, 21:26

Ahhh! So I'll get spares if I bring my bike down!!!!!!!!!

Great news, but its YAMAHA InDIA - I'll believe it when I see it.

veyron1 · 18th June 2007, 22:01

HURRAH. Three cheers. Let's see 'em first....

If true, then....aha...

esteem_lover · 18th June 2007, 23:02

I am sure this is true this time round. keep the faith folks.

BUSA · 18th June 2007, 23:29

Wow !!! This is good, any idea of what they will price this at ? I am sure it is going to be exorbitant !! I am keeping my fingers crossed. Just maybe .. one day..

zulfikar · 19th June 2007, 00:14

What price should we expect...
ANY IDEA...

markiv · 19th June 2007, 01:16

Great News!!!!!! Yamaha R1, now we are talking!!!!!!!!
Hope that its not too costly, but i guess it would be around 6L+ easily

would seriously consider buying it instead of my next car

Mistakenguy · 19th June 2007, 08:53

This is indeed a great news IF it happens . But I won't trust YMI till I see it .

for those who wish to know how the MT-01 looks like :

This is an awesome move by Yamaha. The MT-01 sells for around USD16000 or 6.4Lac, which means the ex-factory price should be around 4.8Lacs or so, which means a landing price of almost 10Lacs here, which can easily push the OTR price to 11Lacs.

The R1 on the other hand should sell for around 9Lacs OTR, not bad considering u get backup, warranty,spares,insurance,loans etc, which till date, no grey importer was providing in India

Thanks for the pics Bunny>Some more pics are available in Steeroids photo gallery!.

Err Bunty - those are PROTOTYPE pics from a few years back. The production MT-01 looks different (eg., the spring/damper for the rear swingarm is BELOW the engine, not above as shown in the prototype pics).

For pics of the MT-01, simply visit my BHP Garage.
