Source: yamahamotorsports.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by totalmotorcycle.com. The Yamaha Motorsports USA specs page for the 2025 MT-09 confirmed model identity — the base "MT-09", explicitly distinct from the "MT-09 SP" ($12,699) in the same lineup — and rendered the full US spec sheet verbatim: "890cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline 3-cylinder", 6-speed transmission, "Final Drive Chain", "Fuel Capacity 3.7 gal", "Seat Height 32.5 in", "Wet Weight 425 lb", dual 298mm front / 245mm rear hydraulic discs with ABS, plus base MSRP "$10,899". Total Motorcycle's dated review (published Dec 10, 2024) reproduced the identical Yamaha US spec sheet and independently corroborated every figure, and its Canada spec section states a Yamaha-claimed "Maximum Torque 93 Nm (68.6 ft-lb) @ 7,000 rpm", the source for torqueLbFt. Horsepower is not disclosed by the manufacturer on either page, so horsepowerHp is left null rather than guessed.
