YAMAHA MT-09 Y-AMT (2024-on)

A good system that does serve a purpose, albeit not without its flaws

MCN rating 4 out of 5

Read review
YAMAHA MT-09 SP (2024-on)

More composed and capable than the regular MT-09, as well as feeling more of a true sports edition, justifying the SP tag better

MCN rating 4 out of 5

Read review
YAMAHA WR450F (2024-on)

This is a 450 that thinks it’s a 250, it loves to dive into the tight stuff; hopping and bopping through the Welsh woods felt almost effortless

MCN rating 5 out of 5

Read review

The T7 gets tougher and better handling for just a little more cash

MCN rating 4 out of 5

it’s far more than just a retro frock
