The light, friendly CP2 twin now with clutchless shifting. A2-restrictable, cheap to run, and one of the most natural first big bikes there is.
The CP2 twin is friendly, torquey and endlessly flickable. Light weight makes the MT-07 confidence-inspiring for newer riders while still entertaining experienced ones.
Y-AMT removes the clutch worry without dumbing anything down — shift yourself on the triggers or leave it in auto. A2-restrictable, so it grows with your licence rather than holding you back.
Cheap to buy and run, reliable and easy to live with. The budget shows in basic suspension and few electronic frills, but the fundamentals are spot on.
Y-AMT makes an already brilliant beginner-to-expert bike even easier. Light, torquey and forgiving — now with no clutch to stall.
