Here’s that 2019 Yamaha MT-15 launch in Thailand VIDEO. Important bike? Well, they had Valentino Rossi unveil it… so, yeah…

We’re still pretty convinced that although the MT-15 is not coming to Europe, what we’re seeing here is the template for a very MT-10SP-esque MT-125 which is on the horizon.

And if you’re in any doubt about just how important this redesign of the small bike is then factor in that at the launch in Thailand Valentino Rossi was pulled in to take the wrapper off the mini-mean machine.

Yamaha will sell thousands of these in Asia and it’s more than a sensible move for the tiny tearaway to morph into a MT-125 for our home market.

Plus, it looks bloody amazing!
