I’ve an enormous mushy spot for Yamaha’s MT vary of bare bikes, as you may most likely inform in case you’ve learn my long-term review of my personal MT-07. When the collection made its debut with the MT-09 (often known as the FZ-09 within the US) again in 2014, Yamaha established a powerful grasp of the middleweight bare bike phase. 

Indeed, the MT-09 was just the start of what would turn into a worldwide lineup of sporty bare bikes. Not lengthy after the 09, the FZ-07 captured the hearts of commuters, fans, and stunters alike. And the fire-breathing MT-10 quickly adopted, presenting itself as primarily a unadorned R1 with a barely detuned engine.

Further, the MT-03, in addition to MT-125 and MT-15 derivatives for the Asian and European markets, in the meantime, gave newcomers a strong basis to kickstart their two-wheeled journeys.

It’s laborious to imagine, then, that this yr the MT collection turns 10 years outdated. And what higher technique to rejoice this milestone than with some official swag from Yamaha themselves?

Over in Japan, Team Blue’s raving concerning the tenth birthday of the Master of Torque collection with a commemorative field for the MT collection containing a bunch of goodies paying tribute to the MT collection.

Inside the field, you’ll discover a T-shirt, a cap, and a key chain, every with a commemorative brand of the Yamaha MT collection. The far more current “Dark Side of Japan” theme figures prominently right here, too, with the slogan printed on the edges and lid of the field.

Valued at 11,000 yen, or about $72 USD, it’s fairly a superb deal for die-hard MT aficionados in search of some life-style goodies to rock once they’re not driving. The goodie field is now on show at Yamaha bike sellers throughout Japan, with deliveries anticipated to start in late April 2024.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that this life-style assortment can be made out there outdoors of Japan. But hey, on-line procuring and world transport exist for a cause, proper?
