Built To Inspire Today’s Generation

Sharper, smarter, more exclusive with its all-new 889cc engine and chassis, and radical new coverless body design that exposes its brutal and muscular good looks, the 2021 MT-09SP is the purest and most exciting Hyper Naked to date.

Just like the all-new 2021 MT-09, it is based on, this premium model features a host of upgrades including aggressive supersport-influenced colours, fully adjustable suspension with an Öhlins rear shock absorber, a double-stitched seat for the ultimate fit – brushed anodised swingarm, anodised black handlebars, and levers and clear-smoked brake reservoirs.

889cc CP3 engine

Engine capacity is enlarged to 889cc by increasing the bore size by 3mm, and the extra 42cc boosts maximum horsepower by 4PS to 119PS at 10,000rpm. Maximum torque on the new engine is 93Nm, and peak torque is achieved at only 7000rpm.

Die-cast aluminium Deltabox

Featuring larger twin beams that run directly from the steering head assembly through to the swingarm pivot to give optimal strength, aluminium frame, subframe and swingarm are 2.3kg lighter, making a significant contribution towards the increased agility.

Premium KYB front suspension

Featuring 41mm tubes with a tough DLC (Diamond Like Carbon Coating) that ensures ultra-smooth and responsive suspension action, the premium specification KYB front forks feature adjustability for preload, rebound, and compression damping.

Öhlins rear shock absorber

To match the high-grade front suspension, the rear suspension system features a premium specification Öhlins rear shock absorber, offering the rider adjustability for compression and rebound damping..

LED projector lighting

The full LED headlight assembly features a single central bifunctional projector headlight with multiple LEDs that provide a broad, even and powerful beam with soft edges for both low and high beam settings.

6-axis IMU

The new MT-09 is the first Yamaha Hyper Naked model to be equipped with a high-tech 6-axis IMU, one of the most sophisticated pieces of electronics in the industry.

Cruise Control

In addition to the comprehensive electronic rider aids featured on the standard 2021 MT-09, the premium MT-09SP is also equipped with a cruise control system that enhances the overall riding experience.

10-spoke Spin Forged wheels

The new Spin Forged front and rear wheels are 700g lighter than previously, and this gives a decrease in the gyroscopic moment of inertia of the wheels – with a significant 11% decrease at the rear wheel making a big contribution to the new model’s agile handling character.

08 / 12

Full colour TFT instruments

The new 3.5-inch TFT full colour display shows clear and precise data. Its lightweight construction and mid-sized layout have been chosen to blend seamlessly with the new LED headlight assembly and maintain the compact and agile feeling from the rider’s viewpoint.

09 / 12

Quick Shift System

For ultimate acceleration the MT-09 gets a Quick Shift System (QSS) that ensures seamless and clutchless full-throttle upshifts and smooth downshifts.

Dedicated SP colours and graphics

The MT-09SP’s exclusive new YZF-R1M-influenced Icon Performance colour scheme features a blue/black multi-toned paint scheme on the fuel tank and air ducts to give an even more aggressive and exclusive look to this top-of-the-range Hyper Naked.

SP-specific components

SP-specific features such as the anodised brushed aluminium swingarm, exclusive double-stitched seat, anodised black handlebars and levers, as well as clear-smoked front and rear brake fluid reservoirs reaffirm the MT-09SP’s status as the most exclusive Hyper Naked in the class.
