Yamaha MT-09 SP test: the one we Sought !
The Yamaha MT-09, one of the stars of the French motorcycle market, never ceases to enchant motorcyclists eager for emotions. As playful as she is luscious, one could blame her for a suspension that did not quite live up to her ambitions. In this SP version, the sparkling 2018 roadster receives a new fork and an Ohlins shock absorber. So happy ? First try.
