Really like the look of both of them. The MT has an unusual headlight. Looks ok, but I've never seem anything like it.

Thats the MT-03 I believe.
Heh, that headlight looks like some kind of doomsday device :D
Pretty neat!

I reckon that headlight is full of either high intensity LEDs or those parabolic lense thingies.

Gorgeous looking bikes both of them . Particularily like the MT-03

Prefer the look of the MT. Put in a standard headlight lense in, lower the pipes and add a tail piece which looks like it's fallen off!!!!

No that's definitely an MT-01.
The MT-03 is a 660cc single.

Obviously a French-modified beast. Looks awesome but...where would you put our nice legal LTSA-approved number plate ?

Isnt it actually written on the front/right cowling? Doesnt look like it says MT-01, more like MT-02 or 3...

Not 1 2 or 3. MT0S from what I read.

It definately ISN'T MT-01.
Its either the 3, or (using the highly scientific method of saving the picture and looking at the file name) its an MT-0S

Definitely NOT the MT-03. The MT-03 is a single cylinder motorcycle.

Perhaps the MT-0S is a customised variation of the MT-01. The engine looks very similar to me.

Nice. :niceone:

Anyone know how much the MT-01 is? May think about getting one.

From the Paris show!Too futuristic looking IMO, especially the MT01. They look good under the lights on stage, but maybe a bit too outlandish for the road? Spose they would look good in one of Big Daves photo shoots! :D

Can't say I've seen any MT01s on the road and after seeing one in a shop for something like $26,000+ who the hell is going to pay that for a 90hp overweight bike that fails to hit any target market. By that I mean its not a top tourer; not a high performance naked (Speedtriples and KTMs would run rings around it and a Hornet or bandit for only $11k odd. So what's its appeal? cruiser or commuter maybe but there are plenty of cheaper options available for that.

Yes at least one that I know of. If a rider wants something different then why not. Harley have been marketing overweight, under powered road bikes for years.

But I was walking down the street, coming back from lunhc, and I saw this interesting-looking bike parked on the footpath, and I had (initially) no idea what it was. Turned out to be the MT01.
Approaching it from the rear, there was just these two high-mounted zorsts, and on the right, two massive s/steel header pipes. Didn't have a good chance to examine it (had the Managing Director behind me), but it was somewhat intriguing.
No, I'm not going to buy one; I just like looking. It's like with babes: I can look, but not touch.

Yeah some bikes just arouse high interest when you see them for the first time in the flesh parked somewhere! I remember seeing the Hyosung 650GT for the first time ever outside a local store, and unlike you Viff I did have time to do a thorough examination!! :msn-wink:
