If you’re only going to ride one road abroad...

...make it this one. Our test route for the Yamaha MT-07 world launch was the famous Ronda road. It’s a truly belting combination of fast sweepers, difficult technical bits and some mountainous climbs, the road has – largely – excellent surface quality and is around 240km long all together.

It’s a helluva series of demands to put on a bike at all kinds of speeds. That’s why this route is so widely used among factories during testing new models and launching production bikes.

We can’t stress to you enough how good this route is. We’ve ridden it a dozen times over the years and we’re still keen to get back for more. Ride it.
