+bakerXderek Yamaha needs to figure out what colors do not go well together. Those gold forks on a yellow bike makes me want to puke. Almost any other color would look better, including pink, neon green, or torquoise. If they could not figure out how to make them yellow, then black would of looked just fine. Then they will leave just a few touches of chrome, like the yoke nut just to add to the ugliness. Then top it off with a warning sticker on top of the tank.

I think you just helped me choose my next bike. Thank you!

After owning this bike for a week I can't really understand why so many people call it a monster and that it is too much to handle. Quite honestly, I was expecting it to be a lot faster than it really is and a lot harder to ride. Don't get me wrong, it has plenty of power but just a bit too overrated by many reviewers. I had an MT-07 before and the MT-09 is just as easy if not easier to ride. It is a lot smoother in my opinion. It is a great bike nevertheless and it pulls damn fast up to 200 kmh. Just a lot better bike to ride compared to the MT-07 in my opinion. It has a slightly different engine character. Surely it must feel like a torque monster if you are coming from a 300cc or an inline four 600. After MT-07 though, it didn't feel like a monster. It just makes me laugh my ass off everytime I give it the beans. It power wheelies on A-mode, A LOT. Even on 3rd gear at 8000 rpm when you're accelerating hard. It just bends your back and stretches your arms to the max when you push it hard, lol. Such a fun bike. On A-mode, it is surely aggressive. It makes the throttle very responsive and unleashes the full potential of the engine. On B-mode though, the difference is huge. Makes the throttle extremely smooth, good for city riding and for newer riders. Personally, I mostly use Standard mode all around. It is the most balanced one. I barely use B-mode, and A-mode only when I'm riding aggressively at the twisties. A-mode is a bit too jumpy for city riding making it harder to maintain a steady low speed. In total, I would recommend it over the MT-07 any day.

Hows the suspension? Everybody seems to complain about it

@Ta3kno

8 жыл бұрын

It's absolutely fine for a daily bike, commuting and occasional mountain rides. The suspension will only slow you down when you are pushing it hard enough through corners and you can make it slightly better by adjusting it. When you are riding hard, the front feels a bit vague and you can't feel the road as good as you might want to. I just rode the MT-10 and the suspension on that is way better. If you ride the 09 a lot on tracks, you should upgrade the suspension. For daily usage, I have not found it an issue. Maybe the only "downside" I have noticed on the road is when you use the front brake hard, the bike tends to bend over a lot to the point you almost feel like lifting the rear wheel to the air, but it doesn't actually do that. Then again the suspension is what you pay for, and the MT-09 is certainly a bargain compared to the majority of similar bikes. If you are really worried about the suspension you can invest about $1000-2000 more for Öhlins etc. or go for another bike. After all, every 09 owner has their personal opinion about the suspension. You should take the bike for a proper test ride and see for yourself.

+Ta3kno thanks for your reply. a test ride is definitely on the to do list. I am trying to decide if the 09 or the street triple will be a better bike. have you ridden a street? if so what did you think of it compared to the Yamaha ?

@Ta3kno

8 жыл бұрын

I haven't ridden a Street Triple but from what I've heard, it is a better balanced bike all around. It has less power so I doubt I would be interested in it over the 09. And as amanoncrack said I could bet my ass Yamaha is more reliable and cheaper to maintain. MT-09 is just brutal on A mode, makes you a total hooligan. That front tire goes up and down constantly on 1st and 2nd. Shredding through rear tires as well, I had to change my rear tire at 3500 miles because it had literally no tire pattern left. I have about 5000 miles now and expecting to book the 6000 mile maintenance soon.

i watched your video on the Z-07, liked it so much i just went out today and got one. love your reviews, i was on the fence for awhile about getting a bike but after watching your other video i knew what i wanted to do. thanks for push i needed it. i'll keep you up to date on what i think of the bike. late.

This is the best bike you can buy. Does everything you want a bike to do and the power of this three cylinder engine is just superb..

That was nothing less than a sensational ride along, I looked at the F-9 this morning, this one was in a matte black finish (I loved it!) I didn't get to drive it, but I think that is going to be a "must do" before I buy, I'm an older guy (60's) but there is still that little bit of horsepower junkie in me. I've been riding since I was 16, and I did own a Kawasaki H-2 500 triple.. that was crazy wild on torque. I think your vid sold me on this. THANKS!

Thank u Chase :) Knew you would love it. Its a beast and soooooo much fun! Bought it and wouldnt trade it in for nothin!

My friend has this exact bike in orange with the same akrapovic pipe on it. It is amazing. I am finishing studies this year and starting work in January and getting my first bike soon after that. I keep on looking for other contenders to not get the exact same bike as my friend but the more I see and hear the FZ-09 (MT-09 In my country) the more I fall in love with it.

Finally! I love this damn bike, believe it or not I was checking eBay and CL for a used one then said to myself just wait another year, then I came on YT and I see this. lol. The universe wants me to get a FZ-09. lol So much torque and the triple sounds soo gooood!

i got a 2015 Yamaha FZ 09 because of this video. Thanks Chase!

When you made the analogy about supersport's power in a deep dark dungeon that you have to find and then kill a boss to get. What a beautiful analogy; props to you sir and great video!

went from a 2010 1200xl custom to one of these, and WAY more fun and the power is a whole different beast all together. put over 1000 miles on it in less than 30 days, I am extremely glad I bought one of these!

Thanks for covering all the power modes. Lots of reviewers forget to test them. The A is really crazy :) I tried the bike 2 days ago. The torque is really addictive and it's really a problem to keep it within speed limits :)

You are SO right about the seat. It makes you slide forward like mad and you can't sit back and relax. That was a real con when I rode it also.

I bought a yellow one like this largely based on this killer review. Thanks for all the great vids!

I have essentially the same bike (2014 with the same exhaust) and this review encapsulates the experience perfectly. No number or spec sheet remotely describes the ride this bike provides. Compared to my friends 2008 CBR1000rr this requires more focus to ride in STD or A mode, the throttle response and torque is mental. It wheelies on demand under power and puts a smile on my face every single time I twist the throttle. Yes, the suspension leaves a lot to be desired but that can be fixed easily and shouldn't scare you away. I also never thought I'd appreciate the rider mode select, but B mode is fantastic for two up and for those times you need a slightly less wild ride.

I'm stoked to get this bike

finally man ! nice vid.

Yeah that's about how I sounded when I test drove one. And that was the best analogy for the difference in power between that bike and supersports that I've ever heard.

Awesome sound!

Gotta love that Cadmium Yellow FZ !! But then again, I'm bias. Great vid Chase! as always.
