Yamaha MT-09 - " Icon Blue: The Master of Torque
The Yamaha MT-09 has spent over a decade defining the "Hyper Naked" category, and the 2026 model in Icon Blue takes that "Dark Side of Japan" DNA to its most refined peak yet. This isn't just a bike; it's a precision-engineered adrenaline delivery system.
At the heart of the beast is the legendary 890cc CP3 engine. This triple-cylinder powerhouse is famous for its crossplane philosophy, delivering linear, gut-punching torque that makes every twist of the throttle a visceral experience. For 2026, Yamaha has even tuned the acoustic amplifier grilles on the fuel tank, directing that signature induction roar straight to the rider.

YAMAHA MT-09 FEATURES
A new era of riding with Y-AMT and Smart Key System
All the qualities which make the MT-09 a leader in its class have been elevated to the next level with the introduction of Y-AMT. Feel more at one with the MT-09 than ever before, focus on the adrenaline-inducing acceleration and super-precise handling with gear changes distilled to a sporty and slick finger-operated shift (MT) or fully automatic transmission (AT). Additionally, embodying the MT-09 Y-AMT's premium specification, the Smart Key System allows you to immediately and effortlessly start your ride, providing the Smart Key is within a specified range such as in your pocket. *Smart Key System only available on the MT-09 Y-AMT. Find out more on the Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT
Next generation bodywork and aggressive styling
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 bi-functional LED headlamp is enclosed in a cover, creating a compact and unified relationship with the latest fuel tank, which commands an engaged, slightly forward-leaning riding position, while maintaining the sharp and edgy aesthetic that is synonymous with the MT name.
Latest EU5+ 890cc CP3 engine
The remarkable, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine is light and powerful, offering high torque at low rpm. The acoustic harmony which results from a combination of the induction sound and exhaust note gives the CP3 its recognisable roar, which heightens the feeling of acceleration. The fuel injectors give increased efficiency, while optimised gear ratios and a refined A&S (assist and slipper) clutch match the high output of the engine.
Acoustic amplifier grilles for an enhanced riding experience
The grin-inducing roar of the MT-09 is one of its most defining characteristics, evoking a sense of pure adrenaline with every twist of the throttle. The MT-09 features specifically designed air-intake ducts which accentuate the high frequency sounds, which are then emphasised, especially at higher speed, by an acoustic amplifier grille on top of the fuel tank, delivering the CP3's vibrant note directly to you.
Six-axis IMU with Back Slip Regulator
Developed from the R1, the compact six-axis IMU controls the MT-09's high-tech rider aids including a three-mode Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel Lift Control System (LIF) and Brake Control System. This best-in-class technology also features a Back Slip Regulator (BSR), which offers stabilisation when the rear wheel locks under excessive braking by controlling the level of torque produced.
Customisable ride modes with Yamaha Ride Control settings
Customise your riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC), which works simultaneously alongside the Y-AMT, allowing you to select engine power characteristics and the level of electronic intervention to suit your preferences and road conditions. Three integrated riding modes are programmed with factory settings to suit different situations: SPORT, STREET and RAIN; but you can also create two custom programmes to suit your individual preferences. The YRC settings can be customised directly in the dashboard menu or on your smartphone via the MyRide app.
Lightweight CF die-cast aluminium frame
The compact CF (controlled filling) die-cast aluminium frame design is a modern take on the iconic Deltabox layout, providing a high level of chassis stiffness for excellent rider feedback and stability. Its optimised swingarm pivot structure, light and slim chassis give a more laidback feel making the MT-09 a perfect partner for both short and long rides.
Adjustable suspension and latest generation tyres
Fully adjustable 41 mm front forks run with optimised settings that match the character of the compact, high-rigidity frame, achieving excellent stability and offering a smoother and more controlled ride. The adjustable rear suspension features multiple settings, as well as a revised linkage to allow for a more dynamic feeling in cornering. Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres fitted on Yamaha's SpinForged wheels offer high grip and lighter handling, ensuring you can get the most from the torque-packed acceleration.
Brembo radial master cylinder
In order to match the MT-09's high torque and acceleration, stopping power is enhanced by a Brembo radial master cylinder, which produces a linear supply of pressure to the four-piston calipers, mounted to the dual 298 mm front discs and offering outstanding braking performance with finger-tip control.
Full colour 5-inch TFT display with connectivity and navigation
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 intuitive handlebar switches. You can also link your smartphone to the TFT screen via the free MyRide app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music*. Full map navigation is also available through the free Garmin StreetCross app to make each journey easier. *Requires Bluetooth connected headset linked to the MT-09. Headset not included.
Intuitive switchgear, self-cancelling indicators and Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS)
Integrated handlebar switch assemblies enable operation of the MT-09's wide range of functions, including smartphone connectivity, navigation and riding modes as well as exploring further menu options. Intuitive turn signal functions further enhance the riding experience. A soft click of the indicator switch will flash the turn signals three times for use when changing lanes, while a full click makes them flash continuously. The indicators will also self-cancel once 15 seconds have passed and the bike has travelled for more than 150 metres. The Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) will also engage the indicators when the system detects sudden braking.

Unleash your Darkness
Infused with Dark Side of Japan DNA, the MT-09's aggressive look is designed to amplify the feeling of the CP3's iconic torque-rich acceleration. Embodying a 'less is more' approach, each and every detail is intended to reinforce the MT-09's aggressive style.
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 optional Y-AMT, lean-sensitive rider aids, customisable riding modes and an all-new full colour TFT dashboard featuring smartphone connectivity and navigation.

Why the MT-09 Icon Blue Stands Out:
- Iconic Styling: The Icon Blue finish isn't just a color; it- ?s Yamaha- ?s racing heritage reimagined for the street. With its minimalist LED headlight and "less is more" bodywork, it looks fast even when it- ?s parked up in the Whatever Wheels showroom.
- Next-Gen Tech: A new 5-inch full-color TFT display offers four different themes and full smartphone connectivity. With Garmin StreetCross navigation and the Yamaha MyRide app, you- ?re always connected.
- Elite Handling: Featuring a lightweight CF die-cast aluminium frame and fully adjustable 41mm KYB front forks, the MT-09 offers razor-sharp agility. The addition of a Brembo radial master cylinder ensures you have world-class stopping power to match the speed.
- Intelligent Riding: The R1-derived 6-axis IMU manages a full suite of lean-sensitive rider aids, including Traction Control, Slide Control, and a Back Slip Regulator (BSR) to keep the rear stable during aggressive downshifts.
