Review

The 2015 Yamaha MT-09 Street Rally ABS emerged as a more aggressive, adventure-inspired variant of Yamaha's popular MT-09 naked platform. This model built upon the success of the standard MT-09, offering a distinct aesthetic and enhanced rider features. In its segment, it faced competition from other versatile naked bikes like the Triumph Street Triple R and the Kawasaki Z800, all vying for riders seeking a blend of performance and street presence.

At its heart, the Street Rally ABS is powered by an 847.00 ccm (51.68 cubic inches) in-line three, four-stroke engine. This robust powerplant generates a substantial 115.00 HP (83.9 kW) at 10000 RPM, providing ample power for spirited riding. Torque figures are equally impressive, reaching 87.50 Nm (8.9 kgf-m or 64.5 ft.lbs) at 8900 RPM, ensuring strong acceleration across the rev range. Fuel capacity stands at 14.00 litres (3.70 gallons), offering a reasonable range for daily commutes and weekend excursions.

The Street Rally ABS differentiated itself with specific components designed to enhance its rally-inspired character and rider comfort. While maintaining the core naked bike philosophy of an upright stance, it featured a higher, flatter seat at 850 mm (33.5 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting), designed for improved leverage and a more commanding view. Additional components like knuckle guards, wider footpegs, and a revised headlight cowl contributed to its distinct look and offered practical benefits for varied riding conditions. The ABS system provided an added layer of braking confidence, a welcome feature for any rider.

This motorcycle is ideally suited for riders who appreciate the raw performance of the MT-09 but desire a more distinctive aesthetic and enhanced practicality for longer rides or light adventure touring. Its blend of a potent engine, comfortable ergonomics, and rally-inspired styling makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile and engaging naked bike experience with a unique flair. The Street Rally ABS caters to an audience looking for a motorcycle that stands out from the crowd while still delivering the dynamic riding experience expected from the MT-09 lineage.
