2024 Yamaha MT-09 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Ten years after its debut in the U.S., the Yamaha MT-09 has been updated and refined for 2024 while maintaining its wild side that we enjoyed on the first generation. Updates on this generation are extensive, including new acoustic amplifier grilles, an improved transmission, more aggressive ergonomics, a stiffer chassis, updated suspension, new Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tires, a new 5-inch TFT display, new switchgear, and a complete electronics package.
We rode the MT-09 in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California during Yamaha’s press launch and then rode the bike home after the launch, testing the MT-09 on a variety of roads. We came away impressed with the bike’s refinements and happy to see how this motorcycle has evolved in the past decade.

Much better headlight
Too bad they made the rest of the bike look like a cb300 or a Chinese scooter. Horrendous redesign.
Love the Killer Look..Dark side of Japan vibes..I got my Bike...and it was Amazing
Yamahas nakeds have been pretty ugly for years now, this is a nice change especially the headlight but still not drop dead gorgeous like the ducati or mv agusta, hopefully a zh2 redesign is coming.
other than that center headlight, the subtle changes really look great!
Nice review, is the suspension capable of having a plush ride, like a Cadillac feel? Or is it just a sporty stiffer suspension?
Thanks
Thanks for posting. Truly miss hwy's 84/35/9 out of San Mateo county down to Santa Cruz. Thanks again.
I live in florida and i never get bugs like that on my helmet.
I think you may have gotten a bug on ya 😂
The bug slayer himself!
I'm not a fan of that exhaust.
I'm not a fan of the EPA.
Same as last gen
There are no "best roads" in California; this due to the high frequency of aggressive and flat-out reckless driver encounters. This state sucks for driving and riding. It takes just about all the fun out of it! 😕
There's an old saying, "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch".
Hard to believe you only squeaked out a 40 mpg. My 2018 gets nearly 50 mpg if I'm rolling around 55-60 mph without heavy wrist.
My '17 would get 38 if I were lucky. You must ride like a geezer.
@@DB-sd3cw Nope. Sometimes I just like to cruise around and look at the landscape, not ride like my hair is on fire or I want police attention. But I'm not a slow poke by any means.
How tall are you?
Well thst music and volume is terrible
The headlamp is getting worse and worse 😂
Many didn't like the 3rd gen cyclops look, so they gone with this now.
Way better than 2021 version
Wrong by a mile @@vpower87
It’s a lot better than the previous. I’d argue it’s the best one so far
@@X4Piper nah this looks like a 150cc scooter you'd see in Thailand. Horrible redesign
