CREATING A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES

While Brian Jessel prefers the tried and true, managing partner Jim Murray leans electric, and has become quite a fan in the process.

If truth be known, I had a Pontiac Firebird with a 350 small block,” says Murray of his first ride, back in the day. “But I’ve made the switch and I enjoy electric cars now. I didn’t really think that I would, but they’re fun. I also didn’t think that they would handle like a BMW enthusiast would expect. But they do.

Murray admits missing the sound of an engine at first but conceded that what EV’s lack in “vroom vroom,” they more than make up for in performance.

ALL-NEW BODYWORK AND AGGRESSIVE STYLING

Embodying a pure, ‘less is more’ approach, the next generation Hyper Naked styling takes the MT-09 to the next level in aggressive yet minimalist bodywork. The new bi-functional LED headlamp is now enclosed in a cover, creating a more compact and unified relationship with the newly-designed fuel tank, which commands a more engaged, slightly forward-leaning riding position while maintaining the sharp and edgy aesthetic that is synonymous with the MT name.

5” TFT FULL COLOUR SCREEN WITH CONNECTIVITY AND NAVIGATION

Full colour 5-inch TFT instruments provide an option of four different themes to suit your individual requirements and riding situation, which you can scroll through using the all-new handlebar switches.

You can also link your smartphone to the new TFT screen via the free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music.

889 cc CP3 engine

The 889 cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder produces high-torque out of a lightweight package to produce a powerful yet playful MT that emits a beautiful sound to enhance the feeling of acceleration thanks to its tuned intake and exhaust. The MT-09’s fuel injection system increases efficiency, while optimized gear ratios and its assist-and-slipper clutch match the higher output of the EU5-compliant engine.
