Monday I have to contact Yamaha Thailand, last night (Friday) Yamaha has updated the spare-parts numbers to the Thai logistic spare-parts warehouse to include all parts for the all new triple-cylinder Yamaha MT-09.. Which simply means that the warehouse in the near future will be handling and stocking spare parts for the Yamaha MT-09.

This generally only happens if Yamaha Thailand will include the motorcycle in the lineup, otherwise it would not make sense to stock parts.

Any idea about the price as I am thinking to buy a Kawasaki Z800?

Thai language bike forums are saying that a few dealers took delivery of some bikes last week and that when officially released the price will be 459000 baht. Thai riders are asking why a bike that is 5000 baht cheaper than the V-Strom 650 in the UK costs 109000 baht more in Thailand, although both bikes are made in Japan.

The all-new three-cylinder Yamaha MT-09 will come to Thailand.

We already uploaded the Yamaha MT-09 Parts Catalog (in English and Thai language)

You can download the parts catalog here:

For people who would like to know more about the Yamaha MT-09, attached to this post you find the English Yamaha MT-09 brochure.

Finally, it appears that one of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers gets it. There's a large group of riders out there who've been waiting for a motorcycle that offers good power and handling that we won't grow out of while costing a fortune. I don't want flashy bodywork that can get cracked or scratched when I make my first small mistake. I don't want some freaky styling or crazy colors. I just want a good, simple motorcycle with good performance that won't empty my bank account. Seems that the Yamaha MT-09 will fit that idea perfectly. Thanks, Yamaha.

Another Thai based bike site has a 'concept' idea of an MT-09 Tenere cross.
Nice.
The bike options here sure are improving.

MT-09 will be unveiled at Yamaha Square, Chiang Mai 6pm Saturday 8th March.
Price 435,000 baht.
Red or Grey.
