New paint for MT-01

Yamaha has just launched an updated version of its unique MT-01 V-twin, priced at $18,999.

The major change is the colour schemes on offer - silver or white.

Meanwhile we know that Melbourne dealer Stafford Yamaha has a couple of the original model on sale, including a hotted-up item tested some time ago by Bikepoint at this link.

In fact, Yamaha dealers across the country have been offering deals on older stock in an effort to clear the way for 2009 machinery with discounts of up to $1900.
