With its larger engine, the new Yamaha MT-09 more power and many other upgrades to the start. But for those who like it a bit more elegant, the Japanese are again offering an SP version of the new model.

Special paint and cruise control

The basic values ​​match the base and the SP. It gets finer if you look at the outfit and the chassis. A special Icon Performance paintwork gives the MT-09 SP the familiar blue-black look. There is also a modified bench with contrasting stitching. The premium finish underlines the exclusivity of the MT-09 SP. The new look is based on the design of the Yamaha R1M and is intended to conjure up a technical relationship. The three-cylinder also delivers 119 hp and 93 Nm in the SP.

In addition to the electronic driving aids of the normal MT-09, the MT-09 SP offers cruise control. The cruise control system can be activated at at least 50 km / h and from fourth gear. Once the speed has been set, it can be increased continuously in steps of 2 km / h or by holding down the switch. Pressing the brake, clutch or throttle deactivates the system.

Higher quality chassis

For the chassis, the SP relies on a 41 mm KYB telescopic fork with DLC coating. It is fully adjustable in rebound and compression as well as in the high and low speed range. Yamaha installed a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber with hydraulic spring preload on the rear of the SP. It sits on a specially anodized aluminum swing arm. The black sprocket, black anodized handlebars, black levers and dark brake fluid reservoirs at the front and rear are also SP-specific.
