Launched in 2013, the MT-09 has been a huge success in Europe and Australia.

Now, the MT-09SP edition adds a sportier and more aggressive look.

The Silver Blu Carbon colour scheme is reflected through the bodywork, wheel rims and spokes, and even in the stitching of the seat.

Suspension has been tweaked to make the bike better handling and sportier but with a more comfortable ride.

The rear now has rebound damping adjustment.

Speaking of comfort, the redesigned seat now wraps around the tank.
