YAMAHA MT-09 SP 2023

The newly developed 890cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine is lighter, quicker and more powerful, with more torque at lower rpm. The intake and twin-tail exhaust produce a beautiful sound that enhances the feeling of acceleration. The fuel injectors give increased efficiency, while optimised gear ratios and a refined A&S clutch match the higher output of the CP3 engine.

Yamaha’s CF technology has enabled the thinnest wall section on any Yamaha die-cast frame ever. Featuring larger twin beams that run directly from the steering head assembly through to the swingarm pivot to give optimal strength, the aluminium frame, subframe and swingarm makes a significant contribution towards the increased agility of the MT-09.

The MT-09SP’s exclusive YZF-R1M-influenced Icon Performance colour scheme features a blue/black multi-toned paint scheme on the fuel tank and air ducts to give an even more aggressive and exclusive look to this top-of-the-range Hyper Naked. The premium finish is enhanced with seamless water-transfer graphics, and the supersport-style colours reinforce the bike’s pure sports character and highlight the close technological links with the R1M.
