UNLEASH YOUR DARKNESS! A compact and agile chassis results in razor sharp handling while a redefined riding position delivers the most heightened and engaged riding experience in the Hyper Naked range. Next level technology further enhances the riding experience, including lean-sensitive rider aids, customizable riding modes and an all-new full colour TFT dashboard featuring smartphone connectivity and navigation.

Embodying a pure, ‘less is more’ approach, the next generation Hyper Naked styling takes the MT-09 to the next level in aggressive yet minimalist bodywork. The new bi-functional LED headlamp is now enclosed in a cover, creating a more compact and unified relationship with the newly-designed fuel tank, which commands a more engaged, slightly forward-leaning riding position while maintaining the sharp and edgy aesthetic that is synonymous with the MT name.

Full colour 5-inch TFT instruments provide an option of four different themes to suit your individual requirements and riding situation, which you can scroll through using the all-new handlebar switches. You can also link your smartphone to the new TFT screen via the free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music.

The 889 cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder produces high-torque out of a lightweight package to produce a powerful yet playful MT that emits a beautiful sound to enhance the feeling of acceleration thanks to its tuned intake and exhaust. The MT-09’s fuel injection system increases efficiency, while optimized gear ratios and its assist-and-slipper clutch match the higher output of the EU5-compliant engine.
