Alas, the wait is over. For fans of the naked bikes, Yamaha has finally released a new MT-10. But that is far from the only big news, say hello to the brand new for 2022 YZF-R7 and XCR900. Across the Supersport range, Yamaha is celebrating the 60th Anniversary of their joining World GP with some commemorative graphics. To complete the all-new additions is the awesome little Zuma 125 Scooter in all its rugged awesomeness.
A notable absence for 2022 is the Yamaha Star Venture TC, as of this writing I have not found any updates on its future.
Check out the 2022 Yamaha Lineup!
