The distinctive roar of the MT-09 SP's crossplane Triple powerplant is one of its most defining characteristics. The MT-09 SP features a new two-duct intake design with Acoustic Amplifier Grilles located on top of the fuel tank to accentuate high frequency induction sounds, delivering the CP3's thrilling note directly to the rider for an enhanced sensation of torque and acceleration.

Aggressive next-generation styling takes the Hyper Naked look to a new level with sharper, more defined lines and minimal bodywork. A new bi-functional LED headlamp is now shrouded in a cover, creating a more compact and unified relationship with the redesigned fuel tank and tail section. The new fuel tank also sits 30mm lower for a more forward-leaning stance while maintaining the edgy street aesthetic synonymous with the MT name. SP specification raises the bar even further with a distinctive SP colorway, polished aluminum swingarm, premium suspension, Brembo brakes, additional electronics and a new smart key for an unmatched Hyper Naked experience.

A new five-inch full-color TFT display provides the rider with the option of five different themes, including the SP-specific TRACK theme, to suit different riding situations or individual preference. The new display is navigated through all-new integrated handlebar switches. Button shape and feel have been extensively refined to provide intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-use solution.
