With the launch of the iconic MT-09 in 2013, Yamaha initiated a brand new era in the motorcycle world. Some of the recent best sellers in Europe belong to the Hyper Naked segment and the Dark Side of Japan philosophy is now widely recognised and is the core of a growing community of riders. It symbolises the strong link with Yamaha’s Japanese origins, represents the brand’s inborn values of excitement and thrill related to outstanding performance while celebrating the unconventional attitude of MT riders as true Masters of Torque (MT).
Hyper Naked and the MT Range
With the introduction of MT Yamaha clearly showed their intention to create a new type of motorcycle aimed at riders looking for a new way to express themselves.
This was just the beginning, as the Hyper Naked segment was quickly developed, growing to become a range from 125cc through to 1000cc, offering riders the chance to step up in experience and performance through the complete MT line up.
High spec models like the sporty SP versions of the MT-09 and MT-10, plus the MT-10 Tourer Edition, address specific niche customer needs and give further possibilities to experience the world of MT. In total, the MT range has sold over 240,000 units in Europe during the last 6 years.
Hyper Naked design is in constant evolution and this is evident in the new MT-03 and MT-125. With their radical and aggressive new looks and benefitting from advanced new technology and a higher overall specification, they are more MT then ever!

The Hyper Naked segment is strengthened with two new models for 2020.
