2023 Yamaha MT-09

Miles 5805

The 2023 Yamaha MT-09 delivers a bold mix of raw power, agile handling, and aggressive naked-bike styling. At its core is the renowned 890 cc liquid-cooled CP3 inline-three engine, engineered for a perfect balance of torque-rich performance and smooth revving character. Yamaha’s crossplane crankshaft design provides an addictive exhaust note and strong mid-range pull, while the ride-by-wire throttle and selectable riding modes give riders precise control.

The lightweight aluminum frame and compact chassis geometry contribute to sharp cornering and confidence-inspiring stability, complemented by fully adjustable suspension and powerful dual front disc brakes with advanced ABS. The bike features modern rider aids including traction control, slide control, and wheelie control for enhanced safety and performance. Its minimalist LED lighting, muscular bodywork, and upright riding position combine sportbike agility with everyday comfort, making it equally suited for spirited canyon rides or urban commuting.
