Yamaha will offer the MT-09 in two colour options – Race Blue and Matte Grey.

Many were expecting Yamaha to launch either the M-Slaz or the MT-03 in India as an introduction to the MT series of bikes, but it looks like enthusiasts will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on these entry level sports bikes.
