The Yamaha MT-09 has just presented its renovation, one that has undoubtedly already raised many criticisms, mainly for its new headlight with a reduced-size V design, which leaves behind the pair of "eyes" of the previous model, of In fact, Yamaha usually does that, as it happened with the previous generation of the R1.

 

The general shapes are kept for this bike in the naked segment, although perhaps a bit sharper, in fact and hoping not to disturb, it is too close to the KTM Duke (and well, the orange wheels are already too much) which makes it lose a little that personality that made her famous in her first installments.

 

 

If the design issue is not important to you and you still want a new MT-09, you may be having a lot of fun as the now 889cc three-cylinder engine gains four horsepower over the previous model, leaving it at 118 hp, torque reaches 68.5 lb-ft delivered at 7,000 rpm this represents an improvement of about 1,500 rpm over the last edition. As for the weight (dry) it stays at 189 kg.

 

As electronic aids, we find: skid and inclination control, traction control, quick shift system (to make changes without the use of clutch), ABS brakes, antiwheelie, control of braking in curve, management of the engine mapping with modes of handling, that is, much of the technology offered by the current R1.
