2 Answers
Yamaha MT-09 can reach 100 km/h in approximately 3.5 seconds. Below is a detailed introduction to the Yamaha MT-09: 1. In terms of appearance: The new MT-09 has transitioned from the sharp styling of the previous generation to a more minimalist look, featuring new headlights, an instrument panel, and a shortened wheelbase. 2. In terms of power: It is equipped with a newly designed water-cooled, four-stroke, inline three-cylinder CP3 engine with an actual displacement of 889cc (original displacement 845cc), delivering stronger torque at low speeds, with a maximum horsepower of approximately 119 hp (original horsepower 116 hp), and comes standard with a slipper clutch. 3. In terms of chassis: It adopts a CF die-cast aluminum Deltabox frame that is 2.3 kg lighter than the previous generation, along with a redesigned aluminum rear swingarm, with a total weight of 189 kg (original weight 193 kg). 4. In terms of electronic controls: It features a new six-axis IMU, YCC-T electronic throttle, lean-sensitive rider aids, and selectable engine output modes. 5. In terms of generations: The first-generation MT-09 debuted in 2013 and went on sale in 2014, selling 50,000 units in Europe by 2017, establishing itself as one of the key models in the sport naked bike segment, complementing Yamaha's flagship street bike, the MT-10, much like the relationship between Kawasaki's Z1000 and Z900. 6. In terms of derivatives: The MT-09 has spawned the sport-touring model MT-09 TR Tracer (released in 2014), the retro-styled street bike XSR900 (first released in 2015), and the leaning three-wheeler MXT850 Niken.
My friends and I often discuss motorcycle acceleration performance. The Yamaha MT09 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3.5 seconds, depending on specific conditions such as vehicle weight and road surface. The bike's three-cylinder engine is quite powerful - just a slight twist of the throttle during normal riding sends you surging forward instantly, as if pushed by a powerful force, which feels particularly exhilarating. However, you need to be careful not to go too fast, as beginners might need some time to adapt to its responsive nature. I love its direct power delivery, which makes overtaking in the city exceptionally easy and allows you to enjoy the sound of the wind on highways. Overall, the MT09's acceleration makes daily riding much more enjoyable.
