The Yamaha motorcycles2016

A 2016 vintage based on emotion, sensations and nostalgia, for Yamaha. The XSR 700 and XSR 900 inaugurate the Faster Sons category, where technology meets neo-retro. Big watts and a big mouth with the MT-10, closely derived from the R1. Less violent but not without interest, an MT-03 roadster based on the sporty R3 makes its debut. A number of models are decked out in 60th anniversary colors. Production of the R1M is relaunched, still in limited quantities. More technologically advanced, the FJR 1300 continues to evolve for 2016. Unveiled in the middle of the year, the 700 Tracer follows in the footsteps of the 900 Tracer and could be just as successful.
The FZ1 and FZ8, as well as their Fazer versions, quietly left the catalog at the end of 2015. A few FZ8 / Fazer models remain until stocks run out.
