Yamaha has launched the MT-09 SP in India. This bike is a step up in speed, style, and tech. It pairs raw performance with top-shelf electronics and exclusive components. If you want both track thrills and daily usability, the MT-09 SP checks all boxes.
Bold Styling That Stands Out
The MT-09 SP looks aggressive and mature. The design comes from Yamaha’s “Dark Side of Japan” theme. It has bold lines, a compact tail section, and a beefy fuel tank with 3D emblems. Blue alloy wheels and blacked-out details make it pop. The seat is sporty, with deep knee indents for rider support. Flush graphics and the overall hunched posture scream streetfighter.
Smart features help on the road. The windscreen directs airflow for less drag. Vents in the fairings help push hot air away from the engine and exhaust. The result is a bike that looks fast and rides fast.
Strong Engine, Smooth Ride
Power comes from Yamaha’s 890cc triple-cylinder engine. This setup gives 119 PS at 10,000 rpm and 93 Nm torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine uses a crossplane crankshaft for deep, instant torque. It pushes hard in the city and on highways. A six-speed gearbox and quick-shifter let you change gears fast without the clutch.
The assist-and-slipper clutch is light and prevents wheel lock during hard stops. Despite its power, you can get about 30 kmpl in normal conditions—which is great for this class of bike.
Top-Notch Electronics And Rider Aids
The MT-09 SP comes loaded with smart tech. Its full-color TFT dash shows key info in all light. You get four preset ride modes: Sport, Street, Rain, and Track. You can also tweak your own settings for throttle response, traction control, and engine braking.
Traction control offers six levels, adapting to any road. Cruise control lets you relax on longer rides. The bike’s two-way quick-shifter allows clutchless gear shifts up and down.
Premium Suspension And Brakes
The SP model packs top Öhlins suspension. Up front are 41mm NPX upside-down forks with full adjustability. The rear has a piggyback reservoir Öhlins monoshock. You get control and comfort whether riding fast or slow.
Braking is sharp. The front wheels use twin 298mm discs with four-piston calipers. The rear has a 245mm disc. The advanced ABS system keeps you safe in every situation.
Value And Easy Ownership
The MT-09 SP costs about ₹12.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s pricier than the regular MT-09 but comes loaded with upgrades. Finance options make it easier to own, with EMIs near ₹25,000 per month. Yamaha’s wide service network and famous reliability keep your bike running strong for years.
Final Thoughts
The Yamaha MT-09 SP is a top choice for those who want thrill, style, and smart tech in one premium package. It finds the sweet spot between raw riding passion and high-tech comfort. Test rides are now available at Yamaha dealers. This bike sets new standards for performance and excitement among hyper naked motorcycles in India.
