Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT has finally arrived for testing. And at this point the questions are: why present an ‘automatic manual’ gearbox? Why remove the gear lever and clutch lever? Why mount this equipment on a sports naked like the MT-09, which was revolutionised just this year? The first answer is that Yamaha had courage, sure of the quality of what it offers. And it is not afraid of the most conservative motorcyclists, who will presumably comment: ‘the system is useless and mortifies the sportiness of the bike’; ‘I can shift very well by myself and I like to use the gearbox’, ‘I might as well buy a scooter’ and so on. More than legitimate comments and objections, let's be clear, which have accompanied in the recent past many attempts at innovation undertaken by companies to make it easier, faster and more comfortable to change gears or manage the clutch. Unanimous, however, is the positive reception for the electronic gearbox (quickshifter), which makes it possible not to use the clutch and speeds up the change from one gear to another, without in any way detracting from the skill of the driver.
