The Yamaha MT-09 street naked motorcycle is being considered for launch in India. The Japanese brand has been absent from the huge bike market here for years. The introduction of the MT-09 could revive Yamaha's presence in the segment, currently dominated by the Triumph Street Triple and the Kawasaki Z900.
 

-Yamaha may bring the street naked bike to India

-The 2024 model received major upgrades

-AMT variant also available
 

The MT-09 has received a number of improvements for 2024. It is updated and more aggressive, and it gives the bike a bolder attitude. It now has a more square lamp shield, a larger fuel tank and a more attractive tail.
 

Comprehensive Features and Specs

The device list is extensive and features a new colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. The switchgear has been updated to be more user-friendly. On the electronics front, the bike features a six-axis IMU-supported traction control system, slide control, ABS, and three ride modes: Street, Sport and Rain, additionally available to the rider two of these cart tracks as desired.
 

This year, Yamaha introduced the Y-AMT variant for the MT-09. This automatic manual transmission has two actuators—one for the clutch and the other for the gearbox—that allow automatic gear changes when the rider selects D or D+ mode. In addition, a manual mode is available to the rider so a gear switch can replace the left switch cube and be controlled.

The Yamaha MT-09 is powered by an 890cc inline-triple CP3 engine, also known as a crossplane tri-engine. It produces 117bhp and 93Nm of torque, which is comparable to the competition.
 

Finally, the bike features an aluminium delta box frame with an adjustable USD fork and a linkage-type monoshock rear. Yamaha has updated the spring rate and damping for 2024. The SP model is fitted with Ohlins suspension units for the front and rear.
 

If Yamaha chooses to launch the bike in India, the Yamaha MT-09 is expected to cost around Rs 13 Lakh (ex-showroom). Yamaha is expected to provide an update soon on when it will be available.
