Yamaha MT-03 2023

Yamaha MT-03 2023

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.
