The much awaited MT-09 naked street-fighter has been launched in India at the ongoing 2016 Auto Expo, priced at Rs 10.2 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi.
Yamaha India’s brand ambassador John Abraham wrapped-off this beast at the event. In the company’s superbike stable, the MT-09 will share space with the Yamaha R1, the Yamaha FZ-1 and the V-Max. And will compete with the likes of Triumph Street Triple, Kawasaki Z800 and Benelli TNT899. The MT-09 is on-sale in India in two colours – Race Blue and Matt Grey.
The monster is powered by a newly-developed 847cc liquid-cooled, in-line, 4-stroke, triple-cylinder, fuel injected engine that produces 115 PS power at 10,000 rpm and 87.5 Nm torque at 8,500 rpm mated to a 6 speed constant mesh gearbox. Yamaha claims the mileage of 19 kmpl. From the safety perspective, the MT-09 gets 298mm Hydraulic dual disc up front and 245mm Hydraulic single disc at the rear.
Speaking at the launch, Masaki Asano, Managing Director, Yamaha Motor India Sales, said –
“We are excited to introduce the MT-9 to the Indian market after its successful run globally. This launch will reiterate our commitment to offer bikers in India the very best mix of Yamaha’s technological expertise coupled with style and performance. The MT-09 is essentially targeted at the youth who are looking for a thrill in their daily rides with great fuel efficiency.”
