Yamaha Mt-09 Sp

The Yamaha Mt-09 Sp has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated; note: electronically influenced but not hard-limited), produces 119 hp and weighs 193 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La Yamaha MT-09 SP est une variante haut de gamme de la MT-09, qui a été introduite pour la première fois en 2013 en tant que moto nude/streetfighter propulsée par un moteur triple cylindre en ligne de 847 cm3. La version SP (Special Performance) a fait ses débuts en 2018, offrant des composants de suspension améliorés, notamment un amortisseur arrière Öhlins et des fourches avant KYB, ainsi qu'un levier de vitesses rapide et une ergonomie raffinée. Elle s'est distinguée par son style agressif, son châssis léger et son excellent rapport poids/puissance, ce qui lui a valu une solide réputation sur le segment des vélos nus dans le monde entier.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Reliable CP3 Engine

The 890cc CP3 triple engine is renowned for its durability and low maintenance needs, with many owners reporting 50,000+ miles with only routine servicing. It's considered one of the most bulletproof naked bike engines in its class.

⚠️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Some MT-09 SP owners report occasional rough idle and surging, often traced to throttle body sync issues or the aggressive fueling map. A throttle body balance and an aftermarket tune can resolve this quickly and cheaply.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The SP variant holds resale value notably better than the standard MT-09 due to its premium Öhlins suspension and exclusive colorways, typically commanding 10–15% more on the used market. Demand stays high making it a smart buy.

Experienced riders wanting serious naked performance daily

"The triple-cylinder secret weapon that rewards experienced, committed buyers."

$7,500-$11,500 used

The MT-09 SP is the naked bike that makes you feel like a hooligan with a trust fund. That CP3 triple is genuinely addictive — it pulls hard from low revs, screams toward the redline, and sounds unlike anything else in this class. The SP's Öhlins suspension is the real differentiator over the standard model; it transforms what was already a decent chassis into something properly planted and adjustable. Worth seeking out specifically. Used examples need scrutiny though. Check the subframe carefully — stoppies and tip-overs are basically a rite of passage for MT-09 owners. The electronics suite is excellent with multiple riding modes and traction control, but verify the quickshifter functions cleanly. Pre-2021 models have the older 847cc motor which is still great, but the 2021 redesign brought a bigger 890cc engine and genuinely improved ergonomics. Budget accordingly. Expect to pay a premium for SP badges over standard models. It's usually worth it if the suspension hasn't been thrashed by someone who didn't know how to set sag.
