Yamaha MT-09 First Ride

The Yamaha MT-09 was the first bike in the revamped and now hugely successful MT range. Over the last two years Yamaha has sold over 20,000 MT-09s, paving the way for a wider range of capacities under the MT banner. Updated for 2016 the MT-09 has a softer engine map to smooth out the jerky throttle, a three-stage traction control system and a new colour scheme - all for the same £7349 price tag as the 2015 model.
