The Yamaha FZ-09, also known as the MT-09, was a street motorcycle part of the FZ series in Yamaha's range that debuted in 2014, powered by an 847 DOHC engine in a lightweight aluminum frame.
At the 2016 INTERMOT Motorcycle Show, Yamaha presented the 2017 Yamaha FZ-09, a motorcycle popular for its combined elements from the naked and supermotard concepts but also for its excellent handling.
The 2017 model came with many modifications, including the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), twin-eye LED headlights with two LEDs on each one, and a revised fully-adjustable suspension system.
The 847cc three-cylinder fuel-injected engine tuned for low-mid range torque and linear throttle response didn't need to be replaced or even modified.
The new ABS-equipped braking system comprised four-piston calipers with two 298 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a single-piston caliper with a 245 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel, providing an extra piece of mind in various road conditions.
The bike's suspension was handled by a 41 mm fully-adjustable inverted telescopic fork with 137 mm wheel travel on the front. The rear-end cushioning was operated by a preload and rebound adjustable shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel, offering excellent handling capabilities.
The power came from an 847cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, boasting 115 hp at 10,000 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
