Yamaha explains its new MT-09
Fully unveiled ten days ago by Yamaha, the new MT-09 will land in France in September (standard) and November (ABS) 2013. But to make us wait, the manufacturer publishes some additional information on its new motorcycle…
The official Yamaha Motor France website gives access to a mini-site that no motorized two-wheeler enthusiast should overlook: the.
