Yamaha has its own identity when it comes to the breath-taking performance, emotive style and Moto GP that always boosts the adrenaline rush. Yamaha launched its first 125cc two-wheeler in 1955 and if we devour the company’s archive, Yamaha has acclaimed several benchmarks in the two-wheeler industry. But from a while the company is loosing its grip in the global market due to strong competition on more advanced technology and newly developed design from the other superbike manufacturers. To rejuvenate its presence across the world, Yamaha has unveiled one of its most important launch of the decade, the MT-09 super bike. The MT-09 is an all new middle weight performance motorcycle with distinctive naked styling.
