We ride the 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP! The Tuning Fork brand has pulled out all the stops and unleashed its latest iteration of the recently updated MT-09 in Yamaha's coveted SP trim, which includes upgraded KYB/Öhlins suspenson, premium Brembo Stylema calipers, electronic improvements, and a model-specific livery.
Was the base-model MT-09 bad? Nope, not at all. At a $12,299 MSRP and a mere $1700 above the price of the standard model, the SP variant raises the performance bar considerably while also delivering better ride quality. You'd be silly not to look at the SP.
Hot on the heels of the 2024 MT-09 update, the up-spec MT-09 SP charges forward and capitalizes on all those gains. What's left is a motorcycle that is agile, confidence-inspiring and just downright fun. In addition, the Brembo braking upgrade is a massive step forward in braking feel and consistency.
Senior Editor Nic de Sena traveled to The Great Smokey Mountains, hitting the world-famous Tail of the Dragon in Deals Gap, North Carolina, as well as other notable roads such as Cherohala Highway to bring you this first ride review.
