Design and development
The MT-09 competes against the Triumph Street Triple, the Kawasaki Z800, the MV Agusta Brutale and Yamaha's own FZ8. It is intended to restore Yamaha's fortunes, as the factory has in recent years lost its reputation for innovation. The MT-09's product manager, Shun Miyazawa, said Yamaha had considered in-line twins, triples and fours, and V-twins; but that the in-line triple gave the "best solution" of power, torque and low weight. Comparing the MT-09 to the Triumph Street Triple, he said the Triumph was a streetfighter, but the Yamaha was a "roadster motard".
Both the frame and the double-sided swinging arm are made of lightweight alloy which are cast in two pieces. The frame castings are bolted together at the headstock and at the rear, but the swinging arm parts are welded together. The MT-09 is the first Yamaha triple since the XS750 and XS850, both shaft-drive motorcycles produced from 1976 to 1981.
For 2017 Yamaha has updated the MT-09 with fully adjustable suspension, traction control, ABS, Slipper clutch, LED lights and new styling.
Tracer 900 / FJ-09 / MT-09 Tracer
The Tracer 900 (FJ-09 in North America) is a sports-tourer model introduced in 2015 based on the MT-09. From 2016, in Europe and the UK, the name changed to Tracer 900 from MT-09 Tracer. It differs from the MT-09 in a number of ways, including that it has a partial fairing, a larger fuel tank, ABS brakes, handguards, centerstand, a 12-volt power socket, traction control, revised fuel map, drive by wire throttle mapping with three selectable riding modes. The display is very similar to the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré's. It also has LED headlights and tail-light.

Shun Miyazawa said buyers are moving away from supersport bikes, adding, "(Yamaha) aim to create an older and younger brother and cousins (to the MT-09) - maybe the same capacity, but a slightly different concept". This was translated into the creation of the MT-07 (FZ-07 in US & Canada), the XSR700, the XSR900 and the MT-10 (FZ-10 in US & Canada).
Reception
In Motor Cycle News Michael Neeves said, "The MT-09 starts an exciting new era for Yamaha" and "The MT-09 is a roadster for all occasions. It’s fun". However, the ride-by-wire throttle was criticised as "snatchy". Cycle World's Kevin Cameron describes the styling as "V-Max meets Transformers Robot", "like a Supermono" and "an up-to-the-minute streetfighter, no bland revival of a 1970s' UJM. Call it a new synthesis." Cycle World named the FZ-09 'Best Standard' of 2015.
In an MCN 5-bike group test in 2015, the testers felt that the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer was a better bike and better value than its four competitors, namely: a Triumph Tiger 800XRx, a Triumph Tiger Sport, a Honda Crossrunner, and a Ducati Hyperstrada.
