Yamaha’s MT-07 bags global 'iF Design Award'

Yamaha Motor Co’s MT-07 motorcycle has received the iF product design award 2015 in the product design division of the globally-prestigious iF design awards. Following the success of the MT-09 last year, this is Yamaha's second consecutive award.

The iF design awards have been awarded since 1953 by the international design promotion organization Industrie Forum Design Hanover (iF), based in Hanover, Germany. Every year, superior designs in the three categories of communication, product, and concept are selected from industrial products etc. from around the world.

Based on the concept of 'sports passion & smart', the MT-07 is powered by an engine that is both powerful yet accessible in daily use, the lightweight, slim, and compact yet stylish body achieves superior handling and ownership satisfaction. The MT-07 has been sold since 2014 principally in Europe, but also in North America and Japan, and its popularity is growing.
