YAMAHA MT-09SP 2024

The remarkable, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine is light and powerful, offering high torque at low rpm. The acoustic harmony which results from a combination of the induction sound and exhaust note gives the CP3 its recognisable roar, which heightens the feeling of acceleration. The fuel injectors give increased efficiency, while optimised gear ratios and a refined A&S (assist and slipper) clutch match the high output of the engine.

The MT-09SP is renowned for its agility and stability and this is enhanced by refined ergonomics, allowing the rider to feel at one with the machine by offering greater freedom of movement for different riding styles. In order to achieve this, the handlebar position is now lower and features two customisable positions, while the newly designed footrests are also adjustable. A new two-part seat further amplifies the feeling of freedom while riding.

The SP’s heightened status is signified by its exclusive Icon Performance liveries inspired by the R1M. These Supersport-influenced colours reinforce the MT-09SP’s sporty character and highlight the close technological links to the R1M – the most advanced production motorcycle ever built by Yamaha. A premium finish such as the brushed aluminium swing arm further elevates the high-quality look and feel of this machine.
