I have 3rd gen mt09sp. I am looking at mt10 sometimes, but I am afraid I will lose mt09 lightness and wildness on lower speeds. And that’s why I love this bike so much.
I test rode MT09 SP few months ago and it felt like that bike was much easier to turn and go faster in corners than the MT 10. It probably has to do with the weight difference and the fact that 09 SP had 180 tire in the back.
@@SludgedB Probably so. But I've tried motoymkhana for the first time this Sunday. I think I felt in love,. I think in terms of flickability MT09 is exactly what I need for this kind of sport. Feels like it will be harder to do motogymkhana with MT10.
Both nice bikes and one is not necessarily better than the other... just what is best for each one of us. The MT09 SP fits my needs perfectly... and it's fast enough for me.

Just bought a 2018 MT-10 with 1,000 miles on it. Thanks for all your videos which helped me make up my mind on which bike to get! The MT-10 is a beast, love it!
I first saw the MT10 (FZ10) in your test ride video 5 years ago. Last August, I flew to Dallas to pick up my dream bike. Thank you for the reviews and inspiration!
i'm riding for 25 years. last seven of then on mt-09. did on it 50,000 kilometers. thought about mt-10. for the first time i'm planning to get another mt-09 at some point. i must say 90% of my ride is in urban area.
MT09 will be my next bike for the sole reason it being lighter and more compact. If I wanted the bigger MT10, I'd go with the tracer 900 instead. But I wanted a lower seat height and lighter weight naked bike. I already have a tall KTM 690 SMCR so a shorter seat height would be a good addition that my current bike doesn't full fill. Although the KTM is much lighter and nimble. And the power is way more than I need. I originally wanted the MT07 but I don't like it's looks. If the MT07 looked more like the MT09, I'd get that.
The fact then iv been doing some hard research on both bikes past couple days then you post this. It's a sign I definitely need to get one of these. I have 18 mt07 now love it but changed jobs and have almost all highway riding now
Highway riding? Wouldn't another naked be relatively similar on the highway? Get a faired bike, R7, Tracer 09, Ninja 650/1000 (probably not the ZX), or similar.
I own a Ninja 250 and an FZ07. The 250 is generally my preferred bike for the highway. A Ninja 400 would probably be a decent choice to, and probably get you a bit of gas savings over a naked 700/900/1000.
@The Wired Fox mostly for having lower rpms and the cruise control. The wind doesn't bother me. it's screaming at 6000rpm the whole time is what bothers me. And even though they weigh practically the same its still a bigger bike. I know I can change gearing but overall I want more power.

I've ridden both and I own a 2020 MT-10. Two excellent bikes but I prefer the ergo of the MT-10. As far as power, both have enough power to bring a smile in your face and it's almost impossible to use the full potential of these bikes on public roads.
I disagree.. any aggresive riding will have you thirsty for more then the mt09 can offer.. a vrod shouldnt be able to keep up with a sport ike like it does an mt09.. I need also to be able to get away from arse holes on the highway.. the mt09 just doesnt have the juice to dust what the power sports cars come with nowadays.. after about 70-80 mph the mt09 feels sliggish.. even with a ecu tune and exhaust.. MT10 ftw!
The truer comparison would be waiting to see where the MT10SP improves on the MT10. Then compare to two SP. Too much hype over two mismatched and unequal machines.
Honestly I love both bikes, normally if it has an engine and wheels I’m happy. But for me personally it’s that CP4 all day. The torque the sound and the true potential, it’s simply in a different class. SP Versions are also nice as any special edition, but in either case, with that being said no matter the bike you need to wake them up to reach their potential, stock tunes meeting emissions regulations have manufacturers pinned down. Flash the ECU’s and install a real intake and exhaust and test them then.
Agreed. One of few things about the bike looks bad! I took mine completely off (idiots ignore 18 wheeler horns what's my little fairy horn going to do) Removed the rear fender, smaller signals, hub guard, aftermarket sprockets, brake lines, levers, removed reflectors, pegs, it is nuts how much weight was dropped, and the bike looks much better. It's a really good bike for a decent price, and lots of room to customize, improve, and make it your own.
MT09 is a lot better than the MT10. I have the 2022 MT09 and had the MT10 for 1 month. I have to say that the MT10 is really an overkill and not needed. Plus the MT09 is a lot better when it comes to agilty, fuel consumption and price
It is not really a crossplane. Neither is the Cp2. It is just a sale gimmic. The reason they made the "crossplane" cp4 engine is to prevent 2. Vibrations (forces from the acceleration and deceleration of the piston in its rotating path). That is why the MT10 has such a smooth engine. A inline 3 will never be as smooth. It is physicaly impossible. Hope it helps :) sorry for my english @@JLondono86

i don't understand why you compare a 1st gen mt10 to a 3rd gen mt09 SP. i had an xsr700, great bike with bad suspension. wanted something bigger, tested both mt09 2nd gen and m10 1st gen. well, the mt09 was nervous, i just didn't feel good on this bike. the mt10 is perfect for me, you can hoon, you can commute. the suspension is well enough for me and the sound is just mindblowing. wouldn't trade my 10 for anything in the world.
I can tell you new gen mt09 does feel considerably more "flickable" than '18 mt10 because it weighs 56 lbs less than mt10. New gen mt09 weighs 8 pounds less than previous gen, 6 of those pounds were saved in the wheels alone, they are REALLY light, that helps contribute to flickability a bunch!
I love big bikes, but honestly the mt-09 sp or more likely the Duke 890 r are my style of riding. Light, flickable, and hopefully less speeding tickets. I challenge any big bike to keep up on the twisties.
I bought a '21 non sp mt09 new about 6 mo ago after having an awesome '18. While impressed with the new gen mt09 I found several REALLY cheap, cheesy pieces on it. Front blinkers that fall off on their own, pathetic excuse for a rear brake pedal, THE most budget rear shock I've ever seen put on a bike. Much of this would be solved with the sp, I know. I found a screaming deal on a blue '18 mt10 with 1k mi on it. I bought, yes it's a gas pig but has FAR superior components on it, R1 suspension sprung softer, just way better stuff! Mt10 easy and cheap to get big power out of also.
Hei Chase, the SP version of both MT-10 and MT-09 has been available in europe since 2016. It's not a special thing to have super good suspensions from factory.
@@bthemaster7830 yeah the Cyan blue is the new gen but they haven't been delivered to customers yet. I'm the admin of the MT10 owners FB group and I haven't seen anyone posts saying they have picked up their new bike yet. Also as far as I can tell no one has done a test ride/review on UA-cam yet. Hopefully in the next few week people will start getting them. I've ordered an SP but I don't think I'll see it until may probably here in Australia.
@@TAR_MEDIA_AUS Ahh ok. Just have to stay awake until May then😜 What are the significant improvements on the gen 1? I have an MT09 2021 and it is not comparible to the previous gen, other then the name…
I couldn’t agree more. I own a 2021 MT10. Shortly after I purchased my bike a friend bought the MT09 (not sp model). I love the MT10, but for daily riding, around town and even more aggressive riding I feel the MT09 for a few grand less offers more for the price tag. Up and down QS, color display, and more modern ergo. If I could go back, I’d have bought the 09. Love the new motor and how much smoother it is then the previous generations. Quality video, Chase. Keep up the good work!
I would like to see you do some reviews on the new kawasaki Z900 and how it compares to the MT09. I know there's videos of them being compared but not with the new 2022 models and not being riden and compared side by side
Wait for the MT10 SP. I am a bit biased because I have owned an FZ1 and test ridden MT10s but not had a chance to ride an MT09 to date. Hope i get to some day
09SP is really good. Looks aside, it fixes almost every issues the previous gen has. But, the bigger brother, MT10, even though lacking in the latest gadgets department, has the fundamental advantages, the engine and the chassis. The de-tuned R1 engine is still the crown jewel of the brand, and that main frame and swing arm directly from R1 are also more performance oriented than 09SP, which, despite the latest upgrade, is still designed as a road bike at the very beginning. So if you don’t care much about IMU and you like the simple fun of a great engine and chassis, MT10 still wins it.
Buying a new bike. These two are my top choices (along with the XSR900) right now. Leaning a bit MT-10 at the begining of the video (non-SP), thought he MT-09 SP makes this a tough choice... After watching this, it Gets confusing. NOt sure I'd go for the MT-10 SP, maybe buy MT-10 (non SPP) and upgrade suspension to Ohlins?)
I’m with 👇this first comment. Wait for the 10sp….my theory is this…. I 100% agree 09sp over current 10, buuuuuut….that R1 beast of a motor is the ONLY part of the 09 that I’d want from the 10. The triple is sick but that R1 motor is insane. The 10sp is a perfect overall recipe. Hope they bake it right!!!
Owned 2017 mt09 and 2019 mt10. Done 40000km on mt10 and 20000km on mt09. Prefer mt10 by far, but haven't ridden the latest mt09sp so can't compare. Definitely getting the new mt10sp this or the next year.
I'm currently on the mt07 an was looking at the mt10 but the mt10 I've been told is very thirsty not great on fuel an the mt09sp has the power as good fuel for long days out riding il test ride then both though to get a good feel
why wouldnt you wait and compare? I love my 09sp its my 2nd bike and it is a finisher bike. I have put 1450 miles on it in 1 month as a commuter and plan to continue to do so.
What are your thoughts on the new mt10 2022 with all thé new stuff? Because i own a mt09 sp 2021. But im looking to upgrade to thé new mt10. Would this be a good choice in your opinion?
Have you ever had an issue with the MT09 throttle response dying and cel coming on? My throttle loss all input twice now and I had only put about 30 miles on the bike at the time.
I’m with you!!! I’m here after googling mt-10 sp vs mt-09 sp. besides the obvious 100cc difference…the 09 has manually adjustable suspension vs electronically active adjustable suspension. Plus, the fact that the 10 sp is basically an R1M with even better suspension at almost $10k LESS than the R1M!!! Let’s see the 09 do THAT!
OC Do you think you will ever get to first ride on an BMW s1000rr You have said that the new Ducatis have the best TFT dashes but the BMWs have new ones that are great it would be cool to see your thoughts 😁
Power difference If you have the willpower to stick it in mode 4 for a few months while you get used to it, yes it's do able. Size/weight difference - Depends on the rider.... and experience.
I ride a MT09, and rode MT10 at Yamaha demo event. The MT10 made me list my MT09 on craigslist almost that same day. No comparison, the MT10 felt better in EVERY way. Looking forward to the 2022 MT10!

Hei Chase, the SP version of both MT-10 and MT-09 has been available in europe since 2016. It's not a special thing to have super good suspensions from factory.
Good compairison, but you will need to do another when they release the next gen MT-10!
They already did, right?
@@bthemaster7830 the Gen 2 mt10 isn't available yet.
@@TAR_MEDIA_AUS o my bad, I thought the blue-ish mt10 was the new gen..?
@@bthemaster7830 yeah the Cyan blue is the new gen but they haven't been delivered to customers yet. I'm the admin of the MT10 owners FB group and I haven't seen anyone posts saying they have picked up their new bike yet. Also as far as I can tell no one has done a test ride/review on UA-cam yet. Hopefully in the next few week people will start getting them. I've ordered an SP but I don't think I'll see it until may probably here in Australia.
@@TAR_MEDIA_AUS Ahh ok. Just have to stay awake until May then😜 What are the significant improvements on the gen 1? I have an MT09 2021 and it is not comparible to the previous gen, other then the name…
Finally a great comparison video of MT09/mt10
I couldn’t agree more. I own a 2021 MT10. Shortly after I purchased my bike a friend bought the MT09 (not sp model). I love the MT10, but for daily riding, around town and even more aggressive riding I feel the MT09 for a few grand less offers more for the price tag. Up and down QS, color display, and more modern ergo.
If I could go back, I’d have bought the 09. Love the new motor and how much smoother it is then the previous generations.
Quality video, Chase. Keep up the good work!
Trade with me asap
OC - MT-09sp and triple is great, but wait for the 10SP!!! just see the difference. Then decide!
I may be biased because I own a gen 3 MT09SP so I agree 100%.
Local dealership is having a test ride next week and I will finally get to try both of these bikes
that spiderman reference was actually a good way to explain it lol
I would like to see you do some reviews on the new kawasaki Z900 and how it compares to the MT09. I know there's videos of them being compared but not with the new 2022 models and not being riden and compared side by side
OC: Wait for MT10SP. It will be out soon. Or if you find a great deal on the MT09SP.
Grass always seems greener on the other side. - True that
How about the air resistance while riding? Mt-10 has a visor and mt-09 do not.
Wait for the MT10 SP. I am a bit biased because I have owned an FZ1 and test ridden MT10s but not had a chance to ride an MT09 to date. Hope i get to some day
OC: Gotta check out the MT10 SP
Facts
09SP is really good. Looks aside, it fixes almost every issues the previous gen has. But, the bigger brother, MT10, even though lacking in the latest gadgets department, has the fundamental advantages, the engine and the chassis. The de-tuned R1 engine is still the crown jewel of the brand, and that main frame and swing arm directly from R1 are also more performance oriented than 09SP, which, despite the latest upgrade, is still designed as a road bike at the very beginning. So if you don’t care much about IMU and you like the simple fun of a great engine and chassis, MT10 still wins it.
Finally!!
Thank you 😊
wish I could afford either one
Well said! I’m going for the MT09 SP (or hopefully the R9 SP if they make it)
As much as I LOVE my ‘21 09, an R9 would have my full interest.
2023/24 if at all
@@Discofpv it would be worth the wait. I'll just ride my K4 SV until then
@kandin least your already riding a good bike ☺️ one of motorcycling greats bike after my own heart 💓
Buying a new bike. These two are my top choices (along with the XSR900) right now. Leaning a bit MT-10 at the begining of the video (non-SP), thought he MT-09 SP makes this a tough choice... After watching this, it Gets confusing. NOt sure I'd go for the MT-10 SP, maybe buy MT-10 (non SPP) and upgrade suspension to Ohlins?)
OC: comparison between the 09SP and the 10SP and then decide.
They need to drop the headlight down a few inches to complete the look. I might do that to mine
OC: for sure wait to see what the new MT-10sp is like
I’m with 👇this first comment. Wait for the 10sp….my theory is this…. I 100% agree 09sp over current 10, buuuuuut….that R1 beast of a motor is the ONLY part of the 09 that I’d want from the 10. The triple is sick but that R1 motor is insane. The 10sp is a perfect overall recipe. Hope they bake it right!!!
Owned 2017 mt09 and 2019 mt10. Done 40000km on mt10 and 20000km on mt09. Prefer mt10 by far, but haven't ridden the latest mt09sp so can't compare. Definitely getting the new mt10sp this or the next year.
that thing is fkn hideous, im keeping my 2019 MT10
Tell Yamaha make a cruiser with that mt-10 motor. I'm a cruiser/bagger guy and that bike would be fun to me
Why wouldn't you compare the MT10SP to the MT09SP?
I'm currently on the mt07 an was looking at the mt10 but the mt10 I've been told is very thirsty not great on fuel an the mt09sp has the power as good fuel for long days out riding il test ride then both though to get a good feel
why wouldnt you wait and compare? I love my 09sp its my 2nd bike and it is a finisher bike. I have put 1450 miles on it in 1 month as a commuter and plan to continue to do so.
What are your thoughts on the new mt10 2022 with all thé new stuff? Because i own a mt09 sp 2021. But im looking to upgrade to thé new mt10. Would this be a good choice in your opinion?
I'm curious to say an MT-09SP vs MT-10SP comparison. Is the 10SP REALLY worth the price hike?
Yes it is
I absolutely love the new design
Have you ever had an issue with the MT09 throttle response dying and cel coming on? My throttle loss all input twice now and I had only put about 30 miles on the bike at the time.
I think blockhead might be able to help he has a 2021 mt09 sp
Have you done a vid on mt-10 sp yet
First year riding mt07. I really want to upgrade to mt09sp
Definitely wait for MT-10sp
Im going for the MT-10, thanks
How about a XSR10SP?!!
OC: definitely wait for the MT-10 SP!!!!
The previous gen headlight was way better and I don't like the new exhaust either. Other than that it's a cool bike
OC: Gotta wait for the 10SP before you jump ship. Mt 10 is an amazing machine and the sound is way better than the 09.
I’m with you!!! I’m here after googling mt-10 sp vs mt-09 sp. besides the obvious 100cc difference…the 09 has manually adjustable suspension vs electronically active adjustable suspension. Plus, the fact that the 10 sp is basically an R1M with even better suspension at almost $10k LESS than the R1M!!! Let’s see the 09 do THAT!
OC Do you think you will ever get to first ride on an BMW s1000rr You have said that the new Ducatis have the best TFT dashes but the BMWs have new ones that are great it would be cool to see your thoughts 😁
Hello community, is it okay in all your opinions that I can upgrade from an MT125 to the MT09?
Power difference If you have the willpower to stick it in mode 4 for a few months while you get used to it, yes it's do able.
Size/weight difference - Depends on the rider.... and experience.
8:03 "byyeeeee" 🤣🤣🤣
I ride a MT09, and rode MT10 at Yamaha demo event. The MT10 made me list my MT09 on craigslist almost that same day. No comparison, the MT10 felt better in EVERY way. Looking forward to the 2022 MT10!
You're talking about previous gen mt09...
I'm chomping at the bit to read or watch a review of the 2022 MT-10sp. OC
would be great if your could do a review on the 2022 BMW S1000R
OC crew: I’d wait for the MT10sp, and see if it’s better than the MT09sp. Unless it’s going to be a long time before that bike comes out, then I’d go for the MT09sp 😁
I really don’t like the design of the new mt09 so much so that I would rather get the previous year or just get a Triumph street triple.
Isn't mt10 share frame with r1,unlike mt09 share frame with mt07🤔
I still have my 2016 FZ09 and I love it. It’s a supermoto on steroids. Lol
Be interesting in the comparison with the new gen mt10
owned both
to me mt09 is better
I remember the red cbr you used to ride 600cc lol
