JOHN ABRAHAM!! Now that I've got your attention, Yamaha, with its brand ambassador John Abraham launched MT- 09 at the 2016 Auto Expo. People went crazy when John rode to the center-stage on the new bike. Even foreign models from other stalls came to Yamaha's pavilion to catch a glimpse of the actor. Digression aside, the naked roadster is powered by a 847cc liquid cooled, triple cylinder engine belting out around 116bhp of power and 87.5 Nm of torque. The minimalistic design is aimed to offer an unadulterated riding experience, although I feel the bike is too simple for its price (10.2 Lacs Ex-showroom, Delhi). The design is most concentrated at the engine portion and it then tapers off to a simple scrambler-like tail. The engine is quite frugal too, considering the claimed mileage of 19 km/l. The long travel suspension is designed to take the beatings of Indian roads. The bike will be imported by the CBU route, which explains the high price tag.
There you go, John Abraham fans!
