YAMAHA MT-09 Street Rally ABS (2014-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha FZ-09 was a street motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from 2014. The bike, also known as the MT-09, was powered by an 847 cc three-cylinder DOHC engine fitted in a lightweight aluminum frame.

In 2014, in addition to the standard model, the Japanese maker released the Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS, a more extreme version of the regular MT-09, with aggressive bodywork, special chassis elements, and unique graphics.

The high-torque engine and a lightweight aluminum chassis provided the MT-09 Street Rally machine with an excellent power-to-weight ratio, powerful acceleration, and agile handling capabilities.

The bike was equipped with a ride-by-wire throttle and Yamaha D-mode, which allowed the rider to choose between three throttle control maps with different performance characteristics. Also, the engine was equipped with a counter-rotating balance shaft that reduced unwanted vibrations.

Some exclusive features the 2014 Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS version received included fuel tank shrouds, fork covers, side number plates, a new flatter seat, and wider footrests.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 41 mm fully adjustable inverted telescopic fork with 137 mm wheel travel on the front and a single shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel on the rear.

In the power department, the 2014 Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS machine was powered by the same 847cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the standard model and delivered an output power of 115 hp at 10,000 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque with a peak force at 8,500 rpm.
