The MT series is characterised by its high-torque engines, agile handling and naked-bike look. The basis for its development was the manufacturer’s Jin-Ki Kanno design philosophy, which aims to make rider and machine become one. For this reason, the omnidirectional movements of the rider while driving were considered as part of the design process. The tank, seat and rear side panels form a single shape when viewed from the back. Driver-orientated design details enhance the impression of merging with the machine.
Statement by the Jury
These motorcycles impress with a distinctive, aggressive appearance and optimised handling that increases the driving pleasure.
