YAMAHA MT-09 SP

» Power: 117bhp » Weight: 190kg » Engine: 889cc » Price: £10,202

With more torque and the arrival of all-singing electronics this year’s MT-09 update keeps it on the ball, especially in uprated-suspension SP guise where the MT finally delivers on its promise. It’s just a shame that it seems to have lost a little of its ‘suits anyone and everyone’ appeal, and that it was styled in the dark.
