Ik heb dit bericht uit het Frans forum geplukt.
Een internationale groep MT01 rijders wil een Italiaanse designer zo ver krijgen dat hij een body kit ontwerpt voor de MT01.
De goede man heeft al enkele body kits ontworpen voor andere motoren.
Ik ben vandaag al gelijk naar de bank gerend voor een leningkje.
Hi guys,
I would like to propose you something big that could provide us with a before' and an after' in the history of the Yamaha MT-01.
The production of our bike was stopped and no MT-01 real replacement model has ben make. Itīs good for us in order than our model is and will be a modern classic bike. But some of us are trying to update the looking of our bike: cutting and rebuilding the rear subframe to get a more modern proportions, shorter exhausts, headlight replacement, colours change, rims change, etc, etc... So, what about if we could order a body kit that could get a deep restyling to our bikes updating them just like if they were the new MT-01 that Yamaha never produced again? And if this aesthethic changes could even be 100% reversible if one day we wanted to have our bike like stock (or pass the legal inspection)?
If you could be interested... continue reading...
Perhaps some of you already know about an italian transportation designer called Paolo Tesio... perhaps you didnīt know his name but you already saw some of his works, like his Ducati Monster S4R/S2R body kits, his Yamaha R6'02 restyling, or his last Buell XB body kit (work in progress). His websites:

He has a really special talent for motorbikes and even some brands could be inspired by his designs in my opinion.

Once I wrote him congratulating his projects and kidding about when he will make some body kit for our loved Yamaha MT-01, because Iīd buy it for sure. Obviously he didnīt have in mind our bike in this moment, but he recognized that itīs a very good starting base... heīs not a factory and I supose he works on bikes that he could have available (from a client for example) to get a digital scan and also to work and test on it physically.
I can tell you that if I was closer to him, I would propose him seriously to build a body kit for the MT-01 and let him work over my bike, but Iīm a bit far away. Now that I follow also the Italian Forum perhaps some of them would be interested also in this idea to get a stuning body kit for our MT-01... I mean, a body kit that would syntetize our comun tendences that seem most of us like.
I think that we can do a wishlist with all of us seriously interested in a body kit made by him for our bike in order to make a proposal to Paolo Tesio to design and produce it.
Our bike is an impressive base to develop an amazing body kit... What do you say? Would you want to join the wishlist?
