Admin Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Yamaha announced a new SP version of the updated 2021 MT-09 revealed two weeks ago, featuring higher-end suspension and cruise control plus a black and blue color scheme. Joining the MT-09 SP are the MT-10 and MT-03 which return for 2021 with new color options. 2021 Yamaha MT-09 First Look The 2021 Yamaha MT-09 SP comes equipped with 41mm KYB with a diamond-like coating applied to the inner tubes, promising smoother, more responsive action. The fork is fully-adjustable, including low- and high-speed compression damping adjusters. The rear suspension has been upgraded to an Öhlins shock with a remote preload adjuster on top of rebound and compression adjustability. The new 890cc Triple is the same as on the regular MT-09, and the SP gets the same six-axis IMU-powered tech including traction control, slide control, and wheelie control. The MT-09 SP also receives an electronic cruise control system. The system can be used when traveling at speeds of at least 30 mph in fourth gear or above. The cruise control is canceled by applying the brakes or using the clutch or throttle, and can be resumed to return to the previously set speed. The Raven/Liquid Metal color scheme is styled after the 2021 R1’s livery, which along with the yellow-colored rear shock and gold-colored fork does give the SP a more premium look than the regular MT-09. The SP’s look is completed with a double-stiched seat, black anodized handlebars and levers, clear-smoked front and rear brake fluid reservoirs, a black drive sprocket, and an anodized brushed aluminum swingarm. The 2021 Yamaha MT-09 SP is priced at $10,999, a $1,600 increase over the regular MT-09. It will arrive in U.S. showrooms in January 2021. 2021 Yamaha MT-10 The MT-10 returns with an MSRP of $12,999 and a choice of Matte Raven Black or Team Yamaha Blue. 2021 Yamaha MT-03 The MT-03 is available in Storm Fluo or Matte Black for $4,599. 2021 Yamaha MT-09 SP Specifications Engine Type 890cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline 3-cylinder; 4 valves per cylinder Bore x Stroke 78.0mm x 62.1mm Compression Ratio 11.5:1 Fuel Delivery Fuel injection with YCC-T Ignition TCI: Transistor Controlled Ignition Transmission 6-speed; multiplate assist and slipper clutch Final Drive Chain Front Suspension 41mm KYB inverted fork, adjustable preload, high/low speed compression and rebound; 5.1-in travel Rear Suspension Öhlins single shock, adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping; 4.8-in travel Brakes / Front Dual 298mm hydraulic disc; ABS Brakes / Rear 245mm hydraulic disc; ABS Tires / Front 120/70ZR17M/C Tires / Rear 180/55ZR17M/C L x W x H 82.3 inches x 31.3 inches x 46.9 inches Seat Height 32.5 in Wheelbase 56.3 in Rake/Trail 25.0°/4.3 inches Ground Clearance 5.5 inches Fuel Capacity 3.7 gallons Fuel Economy 49 mpg (claimed) Wet Weight 419 lb (claimed) Become a Motorcycle.com insider.
