MT-0S Sports Concept Bike:

Following the highly successful launch of the MT-01 torque-sports roadster in 2005, Yamaha have been exploring new possibilities and considering alternative directions for this large capacity V-twin roadster.

The public reaction to the MT-01 has been outstanding, and in its first year this new torque-sports machine has attracted a great deal of interest from those discerning riders who are seeking to experience new sensations.

The distinctive combination of a high-torque V-twin engine and a compact sports chassis delivers immediate riding excitement, while the sound and character of the pulsating engine makes this a unique riding experience.

The MT-0S Sports concept bike explores new possibilities inspired by the fundamental MT philosophy, and continues the Torque Sports theme in a more sports oriented direction.

The MT-0S features a new half cowling for wind protection, as well as a larger reshaped fuel tank, and a slim line mono tail unit with exposed under seat exhausts for reduced weight – which together are intended to offer a sportier riding experience.

Large air intakes flow into the huge V-twin engine to express the massively powerful character, and also serve to emphasise the bike’s mass concentration. And to give the bike a higher performance potential, it gets new front and rear rims, a wide rear tyre and new swingarm.

The result is that the new MT-0S concept bike succeeds in looking both powerful and aggressive, and yet at the same time this sports oriented V-twin is also simple and beautiful.
