Robots in disguise?
Yamaha’s attempt to cheat their way into the sports touring market is, really, right up our street. Take a completely mad, stunt happy super-naked and dress it up to look (a little) like something it isn’t, hoping interested parties take the bait. Let’s look at why this is right up Rue Du FB first.
The MT holds a significant capacity advantage over the MV, one which is blatantly clear whenever you twist the throttle, er, obviously. However, it’s also a much larger bike and flitting between the two the MT makes the Veloce feel like a BMX! There’s nothing inherently wrong with the MT’s chassis at all of course, it just isn’t anywhere near as dainty as the MV.
