At the heart of the 2005 Yamaha MT-01 naked motorcycle, Yamaha features a 1670 cc (101.9 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 4,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 150.1 Nm (110.7 lb-ft) at 3,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 53.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (3,750 rpm) and peak power (4,750 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the MT-01 measures 240 kg (529 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,525 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
