looks the goods

[stiffsimon]

That looks like a tame and much watered down version of the promo video for the KTM Superduke. Why not get a Speed or a Street Triple though if you want a three cylinder?

Yamaha MT-09 is powered by a 847cc three cylinder mill, which it says, delivers 113 HP at 10,000 rpm and 64.5 foot pounds of torque from 8,500 rpm. In comparision, Yamaha FZ8, which the new bike is set to replace, produces 104.7 HP at 10,000 rpm and 60.5 ft-lb of torque at 8000 rpm from its 779cc inline four cylinder engine. At 414 pounds the MT-09 is also 51 pounds lighter than the FZ8.

Its a fagaha and its missing a cylinder and it looks like a BMW how can it ever be good?

[Hagarr]

I'd need to see one in the flesh before saying too much.

Never cottoned on to the triple thing, although theysound horn!

[fimpBIKES]

at least the mt-01 took a risk, this thing looks like a tame attempt to beat triumph in the streettriple market...

[Chase]

Great ad.... What's it about??

[StuNVA]

It looks like it would be more at home with long travel suspension parked next to a Tiger800. It's fuggly.
