The Birth of the Muscle Bike

The Yamaha MT-01 was an innovative motorbike that combined features of cruisers and superbikes, giving it the title of ‘Muscle Bike’. Shinichiro Nishimura came up with the idea for this motorbike so that its potential would not be squandered by having to travel to some far-flung region.

With its bold style and muscular design, the MT-01 rapidly became a fan favourite and earned its place in motorcycle history.
