Yamaha MT-09 SP 2020

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2020

The Yamaha MT-09 is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground!

incredibly powerful three-cylinder engine

good brakes

sporty and comfortable seating position
