The 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP is the ?Sports Production? version of the MT-09, which is now in its fourth generation since it debuted 10 years ago. The SP ups the performance with better suspension and brakes, plus a few extras.
High-quality components on the SP include a higher-spec KYB fork with DLC-coated tubes and full adjustability, a fully adjustable Öhlins shock with remote reservoir, Brembo Stylema brakes, a wireless key system, and special settings in the electronics suite.
We traveled to western North Carolina to try out the SP on some of the area?s most famous motorcycling roads ? including the Tail of the Dragon, Moonshiner 28, and the Cherohala Skyway ? and to find out if the higher-spec SP is truly worth its $1,700 premium over the base model.
