There’s nothing quite like the harmonious roar of an in-line triple. Quite honestly, the good old three-cylinder is quite probably my favorite engine when it comes to sound alone. Nearly all motorcycles equipped with triples sound simply amazing especially when wrung out to the top. As such, it really is no surprise that aftermarket exhausts from dozens of manufacturers are pretty much ubiquitous.
Yamaha’s poster child in the three-cylinder game is none other than the MT-09. Arguably the most popular naked bike in the market, the MT-09 is largely responsible for today’s crop of middleweight naked bikes. Ever since it hit the market in 2014, it put the Tuning Fork Company front and center among squids, track enthusiasts, and casual riders alike. All that being said, there’s no surprise that a vast aftermarket has sprung up surrounding the MT-09, with all sorts of upgrades available for this powerful naked bike. Not least of which are aftermarket exhaust options from top manufacturers like SC-Project.
