Yamaha MT07LA $11,849 RA

This is not simply a detuned version of the HO but purpose-built from the factory to offer the same direct linear drive and sharp handling. Featuring a 655cc parallel-twin motor, the LA version is quite simply the most fun you can have before you pass your test — and that grin stays with you after. The lightest motorcycle in its class also produces the most torque, the best power-to-weight ratio and the best fuel economy.
