Upon its introduction in<br />
2014, the MT-09 instantly<br />
became one of the most<br />
acclaimed motorcycles<br />
on the market. Powered<br />
by an exciting 847 cc<br />
three-cylinder engine, the popular<br />
naked sport roadster features fully<br />
adjustable suspension, three riding<br />
modes, traction control, slipper<br />
clutch, standard ABS and aggressive<br />
“twin eye” LED headlights. Experience<br />
the thrill of riding every time you hit<br />
the road. Fast forward 6 years and<br />
Yamaha have refined it even further<br />
but stayed true to its core.<br />
The MT-09 features an aggressively<br />
styled twin-eye headlight assembly<br />
that gives this good selling naked<br />
sport a more menacing look. The<br />
slanting dual headlights are equipped<br />
with four LED bulbs, accompanied by<br />
dual LED positioning lights.<br />
The bike we had for testing was<br />
from Linex Yamaha Randburg and<br />
