Honestly, its no exaggeration that this is one of the best motorcycles in history
For the same Price, better get a Street Triple !
Which is the current best bike in that category.
Frame and motor are insanly good (Moto 2...) , and the suspension is top notch.
MT09 is super fun, dont get me wrong.
But if I Can have only one, the Street Triple is so.good stock for commuting, canyon carving and track than I could not chose another one 😮
@@neodurden6793I don’t think the Street Triple RS can challenge the MT-09 SP.
And at the moment the Duke 990 is the highest rated Mid-Naked.
@@DJAceBlack I had them both at the same Time for few months. Street Triple Rs 2022 and Yamaha MT09 SP 2021.
Street Triple is just a scalpel compared to the MT09SP.
MT09SP has more a fun Factor for me, I loved it.
But Street Triple Rs, Man... It is just superior ! I kept the Striple Rs.
As far as the Duke 990, I never tried it. Heard real good feedback from Friends from.the 890
@@DJAceBlack you gave me the need to try a duke990 now haha
@@neodurden6793 I just tried (and bought) the 2024 MY. I think you can’t compare 23 and 24.
I tried the Streety RS (23).
I think the SP will be better. No joke. Only reason to buy the Triumph: You are a tall guy with long legs.
I own an acoustics consultancy and we often conduct noise testing against the Aussie design guide for vehicle exhaust noise. That exhaust is interesting. Standards require measurement at 45 degrees to the side of the exhaust outlet. With a horizontal exhaust, the measurement point is 45 degrees off-axis which is only a couple of dB quieter than on-axis. With a downward facing exhaust the measurement point is at 90 degrees to its axis which is typically up to 8 dB quieter (maybe 5 with ground reflection). The exhaust can therefore be louder and still comply at the measurement and bystander locations. Same goes for the amplifier grills because the measurement points are lower to the ground. Very clever, Yamaha. Beats the way Harley cheats their way around the noise emission standards!
Cool story bro
That's really cool engineering! Don't leave me hanging, how does harley get around the standards? Haha I'll look it up
@@whitejtw I have read that Willy Davidson came out some years ago and said they insert small washers in the header pipe to choke the bike during homologation testing and can tune it to every country they sell bikes in. In Australia it's a 50km/h drive-by in third gear and throttle roll-on. The bikes meet our noise standards. The washer is removed at the first service and the bikes properly tuned.
@@NealosMetropolos Omg thank you so much. I've been wondering for days after I couldn't find a documentary on that topic.
Stock Harleys are plenty quite lol
Great video overview as always. Keep up the great work
Awesome video! Best value for money, no doubt. Especially the SP. Best!
I pick mine up Saturday! Beyond stoked!
Looks stunning. Very sharp. I love it.
I love the sp model
🍪
#10 is an extremely based take. Objectively, on paper, this bike is the best value-per-feature in class. Probably one of the best in all of motorcycling right now. I was shopping between all models you listed for comparison and none of them come close to the MT-09 in terms of monetary value.
lol not in my country, 12800 euro for base MT 09 and 14800 euro for SP
All the bike you'll ever need..love it.
My favorite bike 😍 Love it!
Yes the headlamp design is diffrent quite alien looking, and im freaking looking it 👌
Love the redesign. Looks so much better. Gonna stick with my 23 MT10 for now.
Looks well finished this time
This is the way the bike should have came out back in 2020. It finally looks good again!
Older ones look better to me 😂
The third gen looks way better than this ninja 650 knockoff but nothing beats the gen 2 in looks.
@massimohack1367 me and 29 people disagree🤪
Look like this one became mature, quick shifter, normal TFT dashboard, good brakes. Definitely an improvement. Would still keep my mt09 sp 21 because i like it very much :)
My wife's just arrived and nearly ready, I'm waiting on my SP to arrive.... Fantastic review mate.. 👍
Just picked my Matte Raven Black yesterday here in PA 🇺🇸
Damn it looks good, glad they finally made the headlight decent looking
Can't imagine thinking this and still considering yourself sane
@@DB-sd3cwdecent looking compared to Gen 3 i guess
I'm glad that Yamaha updated the MT-09, however I just can't get passed headlight cluster look. It's so bad, better than the gen3, but still so bad.
The design of the second gen is still undefeated
Its good they got the XSR that looks a bit better I think.
Evolved from welding mask this time😅
@quapa4991
Absolutely agree with you.
The 2nd gen Yamaha MT09 headlight was the best-looking out of all of them. The 3rd and the 4th gen are so ugly.
The new headlights feels like a mirrored beefier mt-03
Ordered mine yesterday. Waiting for the delivery.
June, which is when mine arrives, just feels so far away when waiting...
Love it! I’d go the extra yard and have the SP version, though.
Love the SP and can't wait to see a XSR update. Well done Yamaha.
The XSR had updated already?!
Just got a mt09 gen 3 last year I love it seems that this one is last years mt09 sp
SP model adds supermoto-ABS mode for those skids, backing into corners if you want. Besides that, Stylema brakes and increased suspension capability. Otherwise, I don't know if SP is worth the price hike. I'd modify suspension to my own liking anyway, and I would fit it with BETTER shock and cartridges than what comes on the SP model. I really don't ride to the extent of backing in to corners (even though it looks super cool and would be a fun skill to have).
The XSR900 GP is the one that gets the '24 updates (electronics, TFT, switchgear, suspension tweaks, etc). The standard XSR will have to wait another year to come in line with the MT.
Value for money? Yes, the best in the 890cc category. Probably the most reliable too. I'd say the Z900 is probably potentially the second most reliable, also a great value, powerful, but really paired back in terms of technology (a lot of tech these days is not really tangible, more emotional and mental in practice).
Previously not a fan of naked bikes, but this one has a really sci-fi feel about it... bringing the 'cool' vibe that I've not felt in a while!
Z900 is the best in all terms be it looks and performances, none can beat the beast.
Sold my R1 and R6 for this. Haven’t looked back to sport bikes. So much torque and fun at lower speeds without needing to go insanely fast. It scares me more than my past bikes too. So much more street usable and comfortable. B mode TCS2 keeps my front wheel down 😅
You sold 2 bikes for the sake of buying 1.
Interesting..
I understand the r1 but selling the R6 was probably one of the dumbest moves I've ever heard of.
The stability of that bike with S23 is outstanding.
@@DJAceBlack which bike also how do you know s23 hasn't long been out
@@512460 I tried last year the MT-10 SP with the S22.
I mean… it is great.
But the stability of the MT-09 is even in small corners like a train on trail.
Never experienced anything like that.
Need the R9!!!
I'd love to buy one, been waiting since I first saw reviews of it. They just don't have any available in my area, let alone in the midnight cyan color I'd prefer.
I was absolutely convinced by that bike 👍
It feels a bit like Street Fighter V4 😂👍
Please tell me you’ve done a motobob vlog bud on this mate? I love those vlogs.
Excellent!
Nice Review! ❤ Please Tell me what shoes are that on the Quickshifter part? 😊
Vans Sk8-Hi MTE-2
In another shot (while riding), he has on Furygan shoes, it seems. French brand. I have a pair and they're great.
Thank you! Can i ask you wich Model you own?
Absolutely love it apart from the Colour choice & that exhaust needs to be changed for a Yoshi!! The Sp looks more my cuppa tea!! Great review fella please do get the Sp to review??🤞🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Like everything beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I personally think it's a nice looking bike
Amazing sounding cute triple cylinder bike :3 ❤
Morning from San Francisco, California 🇺🇲 🌴 ❤️
Alright, I will put one on your card, thanks mate! I go just buy one on your expense!
Sounds like a fantastic bike, not crazy about the Sonny Crockett wheels
Have a 22sp love my bike
Hopefully the xsr900 gets the updates, looks better.
Handles differently. Longer wheelbase and rack.
It was updated not long ago. I agree it's a far better looking bike. With a tail tidy and seat cowl to finish it off. 😊
@@trevorphillips3055 XSR900 doesn't have the new tech yet. The GP model does but not the standard one.
Looking forward to the next XSR900 - current one despite only being a few years old already feels a little bit lacking in certain ways… plenty of room for improvement on an already awesome bike.
@adiohead yes I know. The gp is at a higher price point, though.
i hope mt-07 got cool redesign like this in the future
Putting my order in
This bike is amazing
When it comes to MT series of Yahama, the design of the bike is not for showing off the beauty of the bike because it’s not, but with the rider on it.
The left-control switch design is awesome and it feels like we have easily manage through the settings in the dashboard.
Besides, if comparing to Ducati Hypermotard 950, I would pick the Ducati because it’s v-twin engine and the look of it given that there’s no CC or immediate blinking lights stop…
It is awesome. But i want the SP version which looks even more awesome. Fantastic job from Yamaha
I've been wondering, is the motorcycle viby? Like does it have a lot of vibrations? I've been looking into buying one but have never had a triple before. I have only had 4-cylinder bikes before. Cbr600rr and a mt10
I know it is a bit of a “first world problem” but I genuinely do struggle to choose what bike I like best in the middleweight naked market!
I tried the ST and it was awesome. I tried the Monster and the torque was just unbelievable. The MT09 looks great. The KTM, although a bit divisive in looks, does standout in the crowd.
What a time! 😅
My dilemma too. I don't like the looks of the monster. The ktm 890r is close, but I don't trust the reliability, and also I think it's looking dated.
My next bike in 2024 is between the street rs or the MT09sp. 🤔
Best update for me is the key position of the seat! 😂
I've got a gen 3 had it a month or so now. While the bike as a package is bloody brilliant the damn wheel switch on the right hand side for heated grips and other settings is an absolute ball ache to use!!! Good to see they got rid of it!
Agreed. Switchgear is miles better both in layout and tactility. Switchgear has been a complaint of mine since 2014 on the MT-09 and it's only take this long to get some decent stuff.
Hi you referred to a comparison of the MT07, 09 & 10 that has no link and I can’t find
I agree, the MT-09 has steadily got better looking and this is the best one yet. Great bike. Good enough to tempt me away from my Striple 765R... probably not. Thanks for another great review
It all depends on what the bike is for. For mostly city raiding, Yamaha is way more comfy...although new changes to the handlebar could possibly make it worse, similar to striple.
@@HosuyakawaYazuki- Agree. I think the changes to the riding position are clearly aimed at the Street Triple. For me, the quality of the Triumph outshines the Yamaha, great value bike though
@@scottbailey5644Quality 😂
No want buy that bike except you
YAHAMA always sold and the Big 4 japanese brands are richest motorcycle in the world.
@@scottbailey5644idk man British engineering and quality don't really go together.
What turns me off front the street triple is the reliability. Scares me. Yamaha reliability is priceless
Hope there's an XSR 900 SP...pls!!!
having the acoustic intake in constant rain/dusty environment would be great!!!
I've been waiting for this.
I really want one but couldn't find one in my budget. So I got an 09 monster 1100 instead. Someday I'll have another yammerha
Idk about that front headlight. I also wonder how those vents go with an after market exhaust on. But otherwise nice
Good to know re the riding position, I'd definitely prefer the pre 2024 model. XSR is very ugly in my opinion. Nice review.
Hmm I'm just wondering is it really worth it. In all honesty my only interest is the added brembo caliper (I'm talking sp model) I wouldn't bother with the basic. But they still use rubber lines
Ok this is it I’m getting the sp version
About 5 weeks out from when my 2024 MT-09 SP gets here. It’s been tempting to bite the bullet and grab a readily available base though! Holding strong!
And I must be the minority here about the quick shifter. I have had 3 bikes with a quick shifter and I just don’t like using it compared to the “traditional” shifting.
It does what its designed to do, trim a few seconds off a blast from 1st to 6th, seamless thrust without the dip. It's sort of like cruise control, removes potentially a little bit of fatigue and stress from a ride, which frees up the brain to draw attention to things you otherwise may not notice.
I feel like I only use it about 20% of the time. But I’m super super glad I have it. It comes in handy if I want to hold my phone with one hand and record nice scenery.
@@justinoompa3450 Just don't make a habit of that. Too many auto drivers doing such things.
Damn Yahama's (sic) are fiiiiiiiiine!
i have 1.90m, do you think this new 09 is good for tall guys?
The SP would be my Top naked, if it had a better colour scheme.
I'm not convinced by the new headlight, though...
same here. they should have used the same headlights as the MT03 or MT07
Yamaha need to employ Italian motorcycle designers 😅
@@natural9743buy a streetfighter then...
How about z900 video 😊?
Best looking mt 09 so far
Mate any idea what the range on that tank would be? It’s either this bike, or the street triple Rs. Looks like this has it all to be fair.
I was considering buying one, but seeing that pig ugly exhaust has given me second thoughts. I'm not overly keen on the headlight unit either but I could maybe learn to accept that, not the exhaust though.
Just ugly my choice in this class is Husqvarna Svarpilen 801 love it. MotoBOB can't wait for its review😊❤❤
Well, as an MT 09 firts gen owner I have to disagree in some points. Some of us really got this bike because I was some kind of supermotard when it came to ergos and riding but with a lower maintenance and more comfortable on daily basis, it was special a different approach to a naked. Now they took the bike into the same filosofy as the other bikes on the segment in part I think because of the magazine reviews but not based on the MT 09 owners. Still a great machine, don't get me wrong but sometimes being unperfect is the way to go on the riding experience.
When I compare it to a street triple it just falls way short in the looks category. I’m sure it rides great bur I would rather be on the triumph
i am actually thinking of trading my MT10 SP in next Year for the new MT09 SP.
I tried both and clearly had more fun with the 09, you can't use that much of the cp4 on open roads anyway...
MT10's SP suspension is better quality than the MT09sp. Also you'll miss the extra 40HP no matter what people tell you.
@@kugangles9860 been riding for 35 years mate and used to be an advanced instructor and biking has seriously changed alot in that time. you cannot use litre bikes now the same way as you used to. and both SP Ohlins set ups are as good as each other on the 10 and 09.
@@kugangles9860 the MT10SP suspension with the Ohlin's is no better than the Ohlin's on the MT09 SP that's a load of crap. i have been riding 1000cc bikes for over 30 years and an ex advanced instuctor and you cannot use litre bike power on these roads with the amount of traffic like you used to its all about usable power and the MT09 has far more Usable power
Definitely still glad I went with the RS. Having ridden the last model MT09 SP and both the latest R and RS models I don't miss the torque and find the Striple to be more than perfect for the street. It's just an overall better bike to me. That said, the new MT09 looks so much better than the previous models and in a world with no Striple I'd have no problem getting this one.
Ima get both 🤣
I'm stuck between this or an R1... Very different bikes I know but I feel like I should just get the R1 as I won't have the opportunity to buy a brand new one in a few years and the price of them is probably going to go nuts like the R6! So maybe R1 now, MT09 later (don't want MT10, prefer the triple sound for the naked bike).
I have the XSR 900 first gen and I can not imagine a better engine than the CP3. Moreover, it is very economical. I do 60mpg.
Keep that first gen XSR900 forever man. Probably one of the coolest looking bikes ever made and I'm still trying to get my hands on one.
@@DB-sd3cw thank you! Love your comment.
XSR 900 GP all day anything with cp3 also
The headlight looks like iron man's 'special' brother😂
That should not be funny…but it is 😂
I got a gen 2 that’s flashed. Is it worth it to upgrade?
Definitely
What happened to the Svartpilen review?
Which one?
@@richieclean Rob’s got the new 401 Svartpilen on long term test, considering something smaller for the fleet, although, I might also downsize the fleet and buy the 801 🤫
I actually like the headlight section. I hope they bring it to the MT-10.
Yeah, in my opinion it definitely looks better then the last gen one. And it gives a bit of a R1 vibe...
MT-10 won‘t get an update because of Euro 5b…
I had a 2015 Tracer 900 for a few years but always felt that I should have chosen the naked MT09. This new model might very well be the one for me…………….(if I can convince my financial institution that yet another motorcycle is a necessity 😁)
Good luck 🤣🤣
Would you recommend this for a first bike?
Not really - an MT-03 or MT-07 would be a more sensible idea while you improve your riding. Even the MT-07 has the tendency to pop the front up 🤪
No, get the MT-10 SP.
No, definitely get a turbo busa.
I got a Kawasaki Z400 as my first street bike and I'm glad I did. It still scared me when I first started riding it and then over the course of a year I've pretty much mastered it. Still very fun but it doesn't scare me anymore and I like being a little scared😆. To tell you the truth it's not whether you can handle the power of the MT09 in regular conditions because most people could handle this bike as a first bike in regular conditions. It's in high stress, emergency, or think fast conditions where it will matter. I've rode the z400 for a year and I'm thinking about upgrading to this bike now. But if I would have gotten the mt09 first I would probably be dead or seriously injured right now. Also you WILL drop your first bike. Do you really want that to happen with a bike that will cost at least $13,000 out the door? Or even worse wreck it and have costly repairs or even worse total it and still owe the bank all that money? And last but not least as a new rider bike insurance is much more expensive than for people who are experienced. And the more displacement and value of the bike the higher the insurance. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
Wish it was a 900cc, 140hp two stroke triple🤷🏼♂️?
Thanks for a great review…
I wish CARB and EPA and EURO bureaucracies didn't exist too.
@@exothermal.sprocket Yes, with you there my friend - don’t get me started on Lane Keep Assist (LKA) in modern cars!
Don't get me started on the bureaucratic force to move to EVs, which the majority of the motoring public never wanted, never asked for, and don't want to pay for.
Perfect
I have a 2014 fz09 I wouldn’t trade it for the world best bike ever!!!
I think they look great. Love them.
The MT09 is sweet but the fact that it doesn't have top of the line brakes and suspension is a bummer, but that's just another reason to but the MT09 SP!
That exhaust... that frikin exhaust...
It's Whole Face Has Been Upgraded...
Well Done, Yamaha!!!
❤❤❤
*Its
Looks like a generic 125cc scooters you'd find in Thailand or Vietnam now lmao
I just sold my gen 3 MT09 and bought a Triumph T120, MT09 is just getting too uncomfortable, time to chill, also that CP3 engine noise drives me crazy even at 70mph, sounds like it’s going to explode, I prefer the MT10 to the MT09, the extra weight means you can’t throw it around as much but it’s so much more stable at higher speeds on the highway, and the engine sounds epic
Is it euro5 or already euro5 plus
Also I’d prefer last years wheels with that splash of orange but that’s an easy fix
Is this a good first bike for city ?
No.
Like the bike , but I’m to old to ride one ( oh my back 😂) reference foot pegs please manufacturers go back to rubber ones , and self cancelling indicators, Nope , there dangerous, tried them and they turn off to early , before you even get to the turn , causing confusion to other road users , I just turn them off and use the manual function , as for looks it’s practical not a design thing .
How tall are you? Do you think it will fit nice to someone at 6’4’’ ??
I'm 5"11 and set on an older model and I felt like giant on a kids bike. I interest if the size increased.
It's def. a step forward as Yamaha resolved the main issue why I didn't buy one, that headlight. One criticism with this new one, after having the Triumph is that the bars are too narrow on the MT.
Just get a new set of bars. lol
It may or may not be a looker to some. But if it rides well and fun to punt around then you'd be silly to disregard it.
Beautiful looking machine!
It looks amazing! I think it is the BEST looking generation. I liked everything about the third gen aside from the transformer cyclops headlight. I was back and forth conflicted about that headlight. Sometimes I thought it was okay, other times not so much. And it was WAY TOO HIGH. There is a lowering kit that brought it down by 3 inches which helped significantly but it was still an odd headlight. This 4th gen though? PERFECTION. The headlight front end is lower and the lines smoothly transition into the tank. Those lines then flow all the way into the seat and bodywork around it. I like that the LED 'eye slices' don't look too much like eyes, I actually dislike all the 'eyes' headlights on modern bikes. This has more of an Iron Man mask look, the eyes are still there, but more sci fi and less blatant googly eyes.
Can’t decide between this and the Tracer 9.
Tracer is a touring bike & much heavier, so it depends on your riding style.
