It is in a few weeks: on April 13 and 14, 2024, that we will start the second edition of our Belgian bike weekend at the Oktoberhallen. Like last year, it will be a total experience for bikers, where everyone will have the opportunity to test the latest models of the biggest brands. In this series we want to review the motorcycles that the brands bring to Wieze and that you – yes, you! – you can test it on the asphalt and outside. On the menu today: Yamaha
Super sports
What do you get when you combine the Yamaha CP2 engine of 73.4 hp and 67 Nm with a fairing reminiscent of that of the illustrious R6 and R1? An ideal machine for the road and the circuit. According to the Japanese, the R7 has a dual character and awaits your approval in BBW 2024.
Hypernaked
Don’t need a fairing, but want to take advantage of the Yamaha crossplane technology? In this case, several options are available to you. Either opt for the twin cylinder CP2 of the MT-07the three cylinders CP3 of the MT-09 or CP4 of four cylinders of the MT-10, power and torque are in all configurations. Already stressed about the choice?
Sports Heritage
Yamaha has mastered platform sharing to perfection. Indeed, in addition to a sports range and a range of sporty roadsters, the Japanese manufacturer has also carved a vintage-looking livery around its frames and engines. U XSR 700 And XSR900 they are respectively equipped with a parallel twin-cylinder of 698 cm3 and a three-cylinder of 890 cm3. Gold wheels, a beautiful retro round headlight, paint that clearly refers to the models of the time, but under the tank it is as modern. A successful recipe you must try….
Sports Touring
And it’s not over when it comes to platforms. With increased suspension travel, a windshield and bags, add a suite of driving aids and Yamaha creates a line of sport-touring machines that are both responsive and supremely comfortable. With the Tracer family, you will log kilometers at a reasonable price, while invariably being challenged to push the envelope a little more. All you have to do is choose Track 7 (in 35kW version or not), or Tracer 9 GT+sporty and very richly endowed.
adventure
If there is a segment that has proven to be hyper-popular in recent years, it is that of adventure trails. A trend that did not escape Yamaha, who exploited it with resounding success with his family Ténéré 700. Thanks to its absolute simplicity and ease of use, the Ténéré 700 has become a must-have for anyone who craves a bit of TET – including A2 pilots (available in 35 kW version)! But it doesn’t stop there: Yamaha has also launched a Ténéré Extreme with a higher fender and greater ground clearance, a Ténéré Explore with side cases, lower suspensions and a larger windshield, as well as a World Raid which is true to its name. With its premium suspension, TFT dashboard, dual fuel tanks and other extras, this is the only bike you need to finally embark on that world tour you’ve been dreaming of for so long. Don’t delay going to BBW, as these machines will be at the top of the testers wish list.
Scooters
But Yamaha has also thought of commuters by bringing to Wieze its impressive Tricity three-wheeled and even the most sporty TMAX Tech MAX And XMAX 300 Tech MAX. Let yourself be surprised by the power, the richness of the equipment and the absolute ease of use of these exceptional triplets! Oops, let’s not forget the eBikes, which Yamaha will present at BBW.
test? Yes it is possible!
Yamaha will bring the aforementioned machines to BBW, where you can test them for 15-20 minutes along the routes we have mapped. Registration is not possible in advance, it must be done on site at the stand of the brand in question. First come, first served! Be sure to be on time if you want to try it! See you ?
