Design and development

The MT-09 competes against the Triumph Street Triple, the Kawasaki Z900 and the MV Agusta Brutale 800.[11] It is intended to restore Yamaha's fortunes, as the factory has in recent years lost its reputation for innovation.^[opinion][12] The MT-09's product manager, Shun Miyazawa, said Yamaha had considered parallel-twins, inline-threes, inline-fours and V-twins, but that the inline-three gave the "best solution" of power, torque and low weight. Comparing the MT-09 to the Street Triple, he said the Triumph was a streetfighter, but the Yamaha was a "roadster motard".[13]

Both the frame and the double-sided swingarm are made of lightweight alloy which are cast in two pieces. The frame castings are bolted together at the headstock and at the rear, but the swingarm parts are welded together.[13] The MT-09 is the first Yamaha motorcycle since the XS750 and XS850 to be powered by an inline-three engine. Both are shaft-driven motorcycles produced from 1976 to 1981.

In 2017, the MT-09 was updated with fully adjustable suspension, traction control, ABS, slipper clutch, LED headlights and updated styling.[2]

In October 2020, the MT-09 received the second update with a larger 890 cc (54 cu in) engine.[14]

Tracer 900/FJ-09/MT-09 Tracer

The Tracer 900 (FJ-09 in North America) is a sport touring model introduced in 2015 based on the MT-09. From 2016, in Europe and the United Kingdom, the name changed to Tracer 900 from MT-09 Tracer.[15] It differs from the MT-09 in a number of ways, including that it has a partial fairing, a larger fuel tank, ABS brakes, handguards, centerstand, a 12-volt power socket, traction control, revised fuel map, drive-by-wire throttle mapping with three selectable riding modes. The display is very similar to the XT1200Z Super Ténéré's. It also has LED headlights and taillight.[16]

Shun Miyazawa said buyers are moving away from the supersport bikes, adding, "(Yamaha) aim to create an older and younger brother and cousins (to the MT-09) - maybe the same capacity, but a slightly different concept".[13] This was translated into the creation of the MT-07 (FZ-07 in North America), the XSR700, the XSR900 and the MT-10 (FZ-10 in North America).

Reception

In Motor Cycle News, Michael Neeves said "The MT-09 starts an exciting new era for Yamaha" and "The MT-09 is a roadster for all occasions. It’s fun". However, the ride-by-wire throttle was criticised as "snatchy".[17] Cycle World's Kevin Cameron describes the styling as "V-Max meets Transformers Robot", "like a Supermono" and "an up-to-the-minute streetfighter, no bland revival of a 1970s' UJM. Call it a new synthesis."[18] Cycle World named the FZ-09 'Best Standard' of 2015.[6]

In an MCN 5-bike group test in 2015, the testers felt that the MT-09 Tracer was a better bike and better value than its four competitors, namely: a Triumph Tiger 800XRx and a Tiger Sport, a Honda Crossrunner, and a Ducati Hyperstrada.[19]

Die Yamaha MT-09 ist ein Motorrad des japanischen Fahrzeugherstellers Yamaha. Nachdem auf der Motorradmesse Intermot 2012 ein Dreizylinder-Motorenkonzept präsentiert wurde, stellte Yamaha im Juni 2013, erstmals seit der Yamaha XS 750 in den 1970er Jahren, wieder ein Motorrad mit Dreizylindermotor vor. In einigen Ländern wird sie auch als FZ-09 bzw. FZ-9 angeboten. Auf der Mailänder Motorradmesse EICMA 2013 kam mit der Street-Rally-Version eine Modellvariante dazu, die sich vom Basismodell durch zusätzliche Verkleidungsteile abhebt. Eine weitere Modellvariante kam im August 2014 mit der Sport-Tracker heraus. Zum Modelljahr 2015 wurde die Variante Tracer vorgestellt, die sich deutlicher vom Basismodell unterscheidet und die MT-09 für längere Tourenfahrten mit Beifahrer und Gepäck tauglich macht.
