I’ve had mine now for only three weeks and have been going out on it almost every day. I absolutely love it. There’s only about 260 miles on it so can’t really get on it until after break in. I have the same color as yours. Still getting used to a quick shifter. I’m still in the habit of clutching up and down. Now if I’m just cruising, I’ll use the clutch but if I’m accelerating quickly I use the quick shift. Definitely no regrets on this purchase. It was between this and the Z900 bit the MT has so many more benefits which ,are me come to the decision and purchase. Love your vids. Keep them coming and stay safe.
I have the 21 SP and I love it. I have 5700 miles on it which is about 9000km. Been riding it hard and it’s currently undergoing the maintenance schedule for the winter. It’s handles awesome and ride knee down with no suspension adjustment. I’ll be getting a steering dampener for it soon.
Great machine! If you setup your suspension properly it will ride even better. I thought about a steering damper too but never really had a serious wobble, I'm always light on the bars.
Man you are doing an excellent job with these videos ! I am going to get my own mt09 gen 3 today and i will watch all your videos for sure about this bike !
They have done a great Job on the mid range naked bikes, especially the gen 3. I honestly don't have anything bad to say except for wanting tires that never wear off lol
Awesome review. I recently rode the bike. That engine is probably one of the best in terms of power balance. It’s a lot but not insanely unusable. Keep it up bro!
I've just got an SP new (2023 colours) and comparing it with previous bikes I have owned there are a few things I don't like related to city riding. I think reviewers overlook them rather than risk getting criticised for saying negative things about the bike. TLDR There are some really minor issues that are probably known to yamaha and which can be overcome by the bikes owner. The clutch lever isn't adjustable for position which is annoying for those who like the clutch take up close to the grip. But a set of custom levers will fix it. For people with small hands its probably a non issue. For those of us with big hands it puts clutch control at a really awkward position within their fingers. The quick shifter is great for fast acceleration and deceleration but will fight you and prevent manual shifting if you want to manually shift. For example quick shift up to the general urban speed limit in my area which is 60km/h will leave you in 3rd. But trying to short shift once more to 4th to cruise at the speed limit at lower revs and even doing it using the clutch will have the quick shifter getting in the way and actively preventing the short shift. That's a big no-no. The quick shifter should not block clutched shifts. It's a similar thing on downshifting... If you're cruising in a higher gear on lower revs and foresee that you'll soon need to tackle a hill or some curves or perform an overtake you'll want to pre-emptively drop down a gear or two. The quickshifter blocks the clutched downshift and you have to attempt the downshift twice just to go down one gear. I guess yamaha know this and that's why you can turn the quick shifter off. I just wish the ECU was smart enough to disable the quick shifter rules if the clutch is in use.
Hi, Your video is great. I want to know what kind of motorcycles you had before MT09. Because I now have the ZX6R in production in 2019 and I am very uncomfortable riding it due to sports positions, so I really want the MT09 2021 just to be afraid of wind blowing. p.s. Sorry for mistakes :)
Hey thanks for watching! I had a husqvarna 701SM, ninja zx6r, KX450f. Generally, naked bike are more comfortable than sports bikes. You can solve the wind issue with a large windscreen if you ride alot on the highway.
Great bike. Got 10k on mine before winter kicked in, still around 4 months long wait until riding season... The stock S22s didn't last long, the rear was pretty much worn out at 5k. Replace front and rear with new S22s and the rear seems to have more of a harder compound in the middle compared to stock/oem. They will definitely last longer than the stock ones, so the saying that stock tires are of somewhat "lesser quality" seems to be accurate lol. Can you do a full steering lock with the bar-end mirrors hanging down?
My rear stock tire gave up at around 6k too and I also feel that the new rear I installed is higher quality, we'll have to wait and see on my next track day. The mirrors don't hit the tank but I'll show it in the next video!
It looks like the standard mt-09 has the same lift control as the SP model. Is that correct? Looking at buying one of these bikes, but want the lift control. Thanks, like your videos!
I had a test ride on a gen 2 mt09 yesterday and I fell in love, bought a brand new gen 3 there and then, pick it up on Friday and I can’t wait! 😁 Where was this video filmed? You sound American but I see a lot of roundabouts, I didn’t think the USA had many roundabouts?
It did good on the track, I would need to ride the SP back to back to answer that but I don't think there will be any difference for a novice track rider like me.
@@Moztreet cheers for the reply. I'm a novice track rider too. Very tempted by the new MT. I rode the original and loved the engine but ended up buying a street triple R as they reviews on the suspension were so bad.
@@MaximumProductions70 the newer base model mt09s suspension is upgraded too. If you're coming from a street triple, an SP would be a better choice for you.
@@Moztreet sadly I sold that bike years ago. But maybe I'll have to ride both and compare. I do like the looks of the all black one though. I'd rather one with less 'bling'.
Omaha just got their very first ‘21 in black. Guess what, it was built in December of 2020. Holding out for a brand spanking new 2022 in black. The price only raised $100. Why buy a bike that’s now over one year old when a ‘22 is only $100 more. There are no discounts on these either since they’re all unicorns to start with. Yamaha needs to do better.
Nice video but I'd just expect a bit more details in terms of ride feel itself...like suspension, handling in slow and faster speeds, braking maybe, etc... 👍
hi, how is the seat comfort on the standard and the sp? is it the same or different? i like the standard black tech, you have, but also the sp, but i want the most is to know about the seat comfort on both. long rides, thanks.
@@Moztreet thanks, you have a sub. also i have another doubt, I really like the mt 09, specially that black colour, the new sp doesnt look that good, the 2022. I have seen a lot of videos about the price difference, and its worth to pay, but the new suspension, does it help the bike to be comfort riding or just for tracks makes it better. i wonder if the standard is as comfort as the sp.
Nice video! Really thinking about this bike. I recently owned a MV Agusta Rivale, and it was a BLAST to drive, even more fun than the RR's that I have owned, but the electronics was a pain, and so was the seat... Think i am going for a bike with less gremlins this time, like a Yamaha 😛
Thanks for watching! Never owned an MV agusta, and they are very sexy bikes. You would love the comfort and features that Yamaha have to offer on these nakeds!

Maybe you can put a photo or the name of what you will buy on the steering damper
@@opc8242 I think I will buy the Ohlins.
@@K12-n5l what would be the holders of the damper
Your explanation is perfect man, congrats 👏
Thanks!
Thank you for all your input!! I got mine today 2/22/2022 and O M G I’m completely satisfied. Thnx again

my owners manual said to do oil changes every 6k kms after break in oil change
Planning on selling my zx6r 2021 to buy this baby 2022 model🥳🙏🏼
Good choice! 👍
I try to find out in wich country you riding your Bike?
Israel

Yes the difference is color, suspension and cruise control. Thanks for watching!
Aye what's the fuel range/mpg/kpg you're getting when you're ripping on it a bit vs just casually riding?
As per the dash, 15-16km/liter.
😍
cool videos bud

Congratulations on your new bike! Such an amazin machine. This was filmed in Acre Israel.
@@Moztreet thank you!
Ahhh that makes sense, looks like a cool place to ride!
How do you find it on the track? Do you find you were wishing you had thr SP or didn't need it?
It did good on the track, I would need to ride the SP back to back to answer that but I don't think there will be any difference for a novice track rider like me.

I've wanted to know would you recommend the bike for a beginner cuz i know it has alot of power.
Any bike up to 75HP would be fine for a beginner, preferably under 50HP.
@@Moztreet thx for the help!

I would wait and get the 22. However there is no difference except for some color changes.
Has the exhaust corroded yet?
No corrosion
Man I'm so undecided between the standard and the SP 😮💨...
If you are undecided, get the SP.
119bhp at the crank, just above 100bhp at the rear wheel
Of course
Why do the yamaha MT s have a bad reputation ?
No. This is the gen 3 though. A new improved model.
@@Moztreet of course brethren
I live in Taiwan and want to buy this one recently, but Taiwan’s mt09 horsepower is only 71 horsepower, which is very pitiful.
I thought the mt09 series don't come with limited HP.
Nice video but I'd just expect a bit more details in terms of ride feel itself...like suspension, handling in slow and faster speeds, braking maybe, etc... 👍
That all comes down to suspension setup and your weight. The brakes are fantastic for street, good for track.
But the ABS kicks in early for me
hi, how is the seat comfort on the standard and the sp? is it the same or different? i like the standard black tech, you have, but also the sp, but i want the most is to know about the seat comfort on both. long rides, thanks.
The Sp has the same seat but the stitching and cover is different, for long rides I suggest that you install the comfort seat.
