A decade ago, Yamaha introduced a motorcycle that redefined the riding experience, setting a new benchmark in the world of motorcycling. Now, the latest generation of the MT-09 takes things even further, blending intelligence with style to deliver an even more exhilarating ride. With aggressive new styling and a premium Y-AMT specification packed with cutting-edge technology, this bike is built to thrill.
Born from the Dark Side of Japan, the MT-09’s aggressive design amplifies the adrenaline-fuelled acceleration of the renowned CP3 engine.
A compact and agile chassis ensures razor-sharp handling, while the refined riding position delivers an unmatched level of control and engagement. Advanced technology elevates the experience, with optional Y-AMT, lean-sensitive rider aids, customisable ride modes, and a new full-colour TFT dashboard featuring smartphone connectivity and navigation.
We’re taking the MT-09 to the next level with Y-AMT. Whether you prefer a sporty, finger-operated manual shift (MT) or a fully automatic transmission (AT), this system keeps you in complete command. Focus on the ride while the bike delivers seamless gear changes for maximum performance.
The Smart Key System enhances convenience, allowing you to start your ride effortlessly as long as the key is within range, such as in your pocket. (*Smart Key System available on the MT-09 Y-AMT.)
Minimalist yet aggressive, the latest Hyper Naked styling refines the MT-09’s distinctive look. A bi-functional LED headlamp is encased in a sleek cover, seamlessly integrating with the sculpted fuel tank. This design not only sharpens its profile but also encourages an engaged, slightly forward-leaning riding position that enhances control and confidence.
The lightweight, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder CP3 engine delivers maximum torque at low rpm for an adrenaline-pumping ride. Optimised fuel injectors and refined gear ratios ensure smooth performance, while an updated assist and slipper clutch enhances control. Yamaha’s six-axis IMU, inherited from the R1, governs advanced rider aids like traction control, slide control, and front-wheel lift control. The Back Slip Regulator (BSR) stabilises braking, while Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) allows riders to customise their experience with pre-set or personalised modes.
Built for agility and precision, the MT-09’s compact CF die-cast aluminium frame follows Yamaha’s Deltabox design for enhanced rigidity without compromising responsiveness. Adjustable front and rear suspension ensure exceptional handling, while Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres mounted on lightweight SpinForged wheels provide outstanding grip. Stopping power is delivered via the Brembo radial master cylinder, offering precise control through dual 298 mm front discs and four-piston calipers.
