Yamaha have launched the 2017 specifications for the MT-09 and a new version of the MT-10 at INTERMOT in Cologne.

Ever since its launch the MT-09 has been among the more popular motorcycles around the world and is one of Yamaha’s best selling motorcycles. Therefore for 2017 the designers at Yamaha have created a more dynamic look for this iconic motorcycle, while also increasing the performance potential and thrill factor for the bike. The new MT-09 features a pair of menacing looking new twin-eye LED headlights, as well as an Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch and advanced electronics.

The upwardly slanted subframe on the MT-09 is shortened by 30mm, the shorter upswept tail cowl features new side grills. The MT-09 is also equipped with a newly designed seat – which is flatter and 5mm higher than previously – and has been specifically shaped to enable the rider to hold their seating position during braking, cornering and acceleration. The MT-09 is also equipped with a Quick Shift System (QSS) which is the same mechanism which features on the Yamaha YZF-R1.Yamaha will make a number of new and existing Genuine Accessories available for the 2017 MT-09. All owners will be able to build their virtual dream Yamaha online in the My Garage app.

For 2017, Yamaha have transferred their most advanced YZF-R1M technology into the MT-10. This includes the Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension (ERS) and Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrumentation, thereby creating the new MT-10 SP.

The MT-10 SP’s electronic suspension is controlled by a Suspension Control Unit (SCU), which analyses data from a series of sensors that monitor the riding conditions. The new SCU is constantly monitoring conditions and adjusting the settings while the bike is moving. The new MT-10 SP is equipped with the QSS which also features on its superbike sibling the Yamaha YZF-R1.

The new MT-10 SP is equipped with high tech Thin Film Transistor (TFT) instrumentation that enables the rider to view and digest a wide of range information. This YZF-R1M type multi-function LCD meter gives a high definition display in full colour – and the rider can select dark or light backgrounds to suit daytime or nighttime riding. A special bike should look the part too, and so Yamaha have also given the MT-10 SP a fresh paint-job to complete the package.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
