Super-agile, high-torque 660cc single-cylinder engine

Super-agile handling
fun High-torque output
Muscular 'forward mass' profile
The MT-03 has a light, compact, fuel-injected engine that's full of Beautiful styling
power for instant thrust, and a short-wheelbase with a focused
centre of gravity that allows remarkable control and excellent
traction on all kinds of roads.

It is a bike that comes with Kodo as standard, the Japanese word

for 'soulbeat' - epitomised by the sound and pulse of the MT-03's
big single in action.

In the city, the radically styled MT-03 is one of the quickest and
most rewarding ways to get from A to B. And out on twisty
country lanes, this super-agile, high-torque bike can pack in more
action per kilometre than just about any other machine.

MT Series: bikes with Kodo is a Japanese noun that means pulse or

soulbeat. It is not a simple concept to explain, but it
soulbeat is an easy thing to feel. Imagine the atmosphere
created by the beat of Japanese big drums and you'll
begin to get the idea.

That's the kind of soulbeat that Yamaha's engineers

have built into the MT series, with engines designed
to let you feel the rhythm of the power beneath,
like a heartbeat rising and falling.

The MT series exemplifies the spirit that has made

Yamaha one of the world's leading motorcycle
manufacturers, and is one of the most significant
developments in motorcycling in recent years.

Big single
Powering the new MT-03 is a high-torque, 660cc single-cylinder
engine based closely on the highly-acclaimed XT660 powerplant. With
its high levels of low to mid-range torque, this liquid-cooled engine has
already established a strong reputation with XT660 owners, and is
ideally suited as the base engine for the MT-03.

Up-swept muffler
The MT-03 is a uniquely styled motorcycle, as emphasised by the up-swept
muffler. From the rear, the system looks like dual mufflers, but they are in
fact connected, and each one is protected by a resin shield for passenger
comfort. This stylish exhaust underlines the bike's solid MT heritage, and
gives it a distinctive and attractive rear end.

Tubular steel frame

The MT-03's compact and minimalist frame is made from high-tensile steel
tubing, and has been designed to give optimal rigidity for responsive handling
and excellent rider feedback. This extremely strong design utilises the 660cc
engine as a stressed member, for extra solidity.

Lateral rear suspension

The MT-03 has a lateral rear suspension unit, similar to the one first seen on the
MT-01 concept bike. This design has the shock mounted almost horizontally on
the right side of the bike, close to the engine. This makes the chassis slimmer
around the mid-section and concentrates mass around the centre of gravity for
better handling.

Five-spoke wheels
The MT-03 runs with 5-spoke, 17 inch wheels, and their low weight ensures
that the front and rear suspension work efficiently. At the front, a 120/70-17
tyre grips the road, while an extra-wide 160/60-17 rear tyre delivers high
levels of traction for strong back wheel drive force.

Forward positioning
The MT-03 is designed to offer forward mass, where the rider sits closer to the
handlebars than on conventional big singles for an idealised weight distribution
and enhanced handling. This is accentuated by the supermoto-style forward
riding position.
