  • Curious about how the revamped 2024 MT-09 measures up to the venerable Kawasaki Z900? Join us in this video where we'll compare everything from engine power and technical specs, to color options, sound, chassis, dimensions, prices and more!
    For those curious about what goes on behind the scenes :
    All my videos are 100% edited manually by human, no fancy AI, or programs that automatically generated video, just a simple vector based and video editor app.
    Scripts? Yep, human-made too.
    The only thing not human made is the voice, cause, well, budget.
    Making these videos is incredibly time-consuming (around 25-30 hours per video), so I can only make three or maybe four a month.
    Thanks for watching! Your Super thanks, or even a simple like and subscribe, means so much for this small channel to keep going!!

    • @toofastnobrakes
      @toofastnobrakes 3 місяці тому +4

      @@JoeStanek-vu7rl no, they are not. The term “cross plane” refers to an engine that has a 90 degree phase in rotation between crank rotations making the crank profile appear to look like a cross “+”. “Standard” triples have a 120 degree throw. Give them what is technically a “Y” plane crank. The new tiger triple is considered crossplane because it fire is a 90,90,180 degree interval. Making it a “T” shape. 3/4 of a crossplane. Just like a 90 degree twin is considered crossplane because it half of one. So no, triples are not “inherently” crossplane

      Well as I've ridden both bikes ... And i own a duke890r.. I'll say for my pov and experience z900 got more power definitely more cc more hp and extra cylinder on paper but in real life except comfort and riding position and flashy electronic features.... Mt09 is more fun to ride cuz it's quicker but the real difference is when we hit corners.... See z900 is powerful but the weight is what i xan feel while doing corners and mt09 is more nimble and light and easy to maneuver.. so on a straight mt 09 will go quick but then z900 wil definitely pull up after 100mph i guess

But honestly it’s not a big difference despite how the weight looks. Like you said how they look on paper isn’t all it seems. the MT is a little faster off the line Atleast. But the Z does seem to pull for longer. The Z also feels a lot more planted most of the time in corners or at highway speed. And its over all is a smoother ride that can still hoon. I love the MT as well, it’s a wheelie machine, and it’s a very visceral ride. But I liked the z more as an all rounder

    Just SAD that ALL THE UNIQUE SELLING POINTS of the MT-09 got eliminated. In 2023, it was the last upright naked bike that people over 1.85 m (6.1feet) could still right comfortably on, that didn't look like an insect but like a Transformer and that still had a subframe/pillion footrests with luggage attachment points, as well as the option of fitting a windshield.
    I like every of the other Transformer light masks in the MT series better than this new one. For the GEN 3 to 2023, Givi and Shad had hard case mounts for larger cases, than on a standard GS in their linup and you could attach a large windscreen to the light mask. The subframe load capacity has been removed from the MT-10 from 2021 to 2022 and now from 2023 to 2024 for the MT-09 as well. It's a pity that none of the reviews mention this.
    If the display becomes so large that it protrudes forward over the light mask, you can no longer retrofit a windscreen. Who convinced the manufacturers that naked bikes have to be made for the racetrack? I've been riding an MT-09 for 30,000 kilometres in 2.5 years and love this engine.
    With in the commuteabilty gone, the last real UJM is unfortunately dying in my eyes.

    Power to weight ratios become less noticeable when the rider’s weight is added to the equation. If you weight 200 lbs and you’re adding that weight to a bigger, stronger bike, it’s less of a loss of the ratio.

    Ride both, but 19kg is something you can really feel when you ride both. MT-09 is much more flickable and fun to ride and to me the chassis and damper setup is better than the Z900. Although, the Z900 sound better but that's it, tech wise it's quite basic as well and to me it is outdated compared to its rivals. So it's an upgrade for me.

    z900 is a really nice bike but i’ll take the 2024 MT-09 every day.
    That triple cylinder engine with quickshifter have one of the best exhaust sounds you can find in a motorcycle. Sounds much better than a z900 if you ask me.
    i have also always dreamed about having a bike with cruise control. All those other features are nice as well.
    and that speed limiter can easily be removed to make it as fast as the z900.
    Also i really like how the new MT-09 looks. I have even started to like that weird headlight believe it or not. The headlight on the previous model (2021-2023) looked like actual shit but the new headlight looks much better.
    The MT-09 is just a little tiny bit more expensive than the z900 so it’s definitely worth it to save up some more money and get the MT-09.

      It's just an impression of the design of the gen2 model! Compared to performance and options, gen4 is the most comprehensive 😂
