How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's built as a versatile sport-tourer that blends the MT-09's lively naked-bike character with added wind protection and light touring capability.
- Built for
- Expect an energetic, torque-rich in-line three that loves quick direction changes and spirited backroad riding more than long, relaxed highway cruising.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking off-road capability or a plush, long-distance cruiser experience.

As a sport tourer, the 2021 Yamaha MT-09 TR makes a lot of sense. The 847cc engine produces 115 hp and 87.5 Nm, which suits the bike's character well. With an 850 mm seat and a 214 kg weight, it is best suited to covering long distances quickly and in comfort, although it is too heavy and road-focused for off-road use. Worth a close look if it fits your needs.
