By 2010 the MT-03 660 carried on essentially unchanged: a big single aimed at town riding and twisty back roads. Reviewers praised its low-rev torque and sharp steering but found it less happy on motorways and the pillion seat poor for distance. It was pitched as a friendly roadster for both beginners and experienced riders.
