YAMAHA MT-09 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.

To express the outstanding handling performance of the MT-09, Yamaha has introduced a coverless design where all unnecessary bodywork is removed to give a dynamic and agile look from every angle. The compact front fender and minimalist headlamp nacelle are the only other pieces of bodywork on this muscular naked chassis, highlighting the beautifully styled chassis and giving the bike a strong, purposeful and mechanically pure look, all of which is accentuated by the Crystal Graphite frame colour.
