I just purchased a new 2023 MT09… it’s an absolute riot for just under 11k. I’ve rode a variety of motorcycles and this is my first “light/fast” bike, and this bike is amazing for the street. Plenty of power, great handling, good aftermarket, and reliability! I honestly can’t think of a better motorcycle for your intermediate rider looking to crack up into the sub 450 pound/sub 3.5 second motorcycle. Thank you Yamaha! Fell in love with the brand because of a 1998 Yamaha virago 1100xv

Most people just can’t wait for the R9 (me included) but most people don’t realise that the MT-09 will be the more fun bike to ride & do it for longer periods 😎

Ive just got back home after test riding one of these in the same colour. Great bit of kit. Test rode the bmw F900r shortly after as well and the Yamaha is smoother and I think more value for money. Great video chopsy!

Having owned one of the previous MT09 models, I can fully concur with your sentiments on this machine Chops 👍. I can see that Yamaha has improved what was previously known as a bonkers bike. Love it, Chops ❤😊

I have the 2021 and this is tempting but things like the seat and bars are stuff I like and prefer. Also that with everything they changed, the only parts I’d be able to switch over is the frame sliders and maybe radiator protector. I would probably hold off for the SP for the brakes and suspension. I will say the exhaust is definitely if you’re doing it for the looks. The exhaust gets louder as you break it in. I love the sound and I’m pretty sure if I knew how to mic it up and post a video riding around. Most people would probably think it’s aftermarket

I enjoy your videos and comments very much. As an old fellow myself, I can identify with your thoughts. Everyone talks up SP model because of the improved suspension. Truth be known the base model can provide all the handling abilities ninety percent of riders can use. Most people in the states never really adjust the suspension and when they trade the bike it is the way it left the factory. I have tinkered with my adjustments and found better track handling. I put it back however to the original settings as the rider’s comfort in daily use is way better than track settings.

As "20 stone fattie" you should really tweak the suspension. I've never ridden a bike that felt right for me on stock settings. I got my 2nd gen MT10 (at a great price) as I thought I'd always be looking at what I didn't have with the MT09 but this one has me reconsidering. So much fun for your money.

I have the Z900RS for general riding but need something more tour oriented for longer stays etc. While looking for something, i took this out as it caught my eye and it was brilliant and. For the money exceptional.. Didn't solve the storage issue though, so took the Tracer 9 GT out afterwards. Tracer 9 it is then, never been so at one with a bike. Sound, comfort, enjoyability..luggage and all the extras as standard with the same CP3 engine.... The RS is brilliant, now I'll have a tourer that is brilliant too, time to treat myself before i get too old..😉.... I can vouch for the MT09 ( 2024). Its superb, but so is the Tracer 9 GT with better touring capabilities..😉👍

Great review ❤. The looks are a lot better Tony Shark would approve. However the wheels would require a makeover for me . Great sound and obviously a lot of fun , as demonstrated by yourself. Looking forward to to the comparison with the KTM . Keep it black side down Chops .

Hopefully I'm on the SP launch 🤞

It's not for me, but a brave guess would be that this fun toy will - vastly - outsell the expectations that Yamaha have for it. The supercrisp and clear display is a really nice touch, the general behaviour looks to be able to titillate quite a few types of riders.

I asked a pervious gen Mt09 sp owner about the bike and how is it. He asked me what bike do I currently have I then pointed at my s1000r and he was like 😂 no need to even look at this bike stick with the s1k. Such a humble dude. He wasn't on that I own one so it's the best bike in the world. Nothing can compare sort of mentality. Admittedly I have a soft spot for the Mt09 however as I'm a spec snob I wouldn't buy anything but an sp though. If I was to down size this would be 1st pick followed by street triple 765 rs. Had the triumph had the Mt09 eminge I'd pick it but I prefer the sound on the mt

I had the chance to demo one of these last week but took the XSR900GP out instead. I found that bike too uncomfortable. I wish I'd taken the MT09 out instead. For the price if it wasn't for the divisive looks which are growing on me this is probably a better machine that the Street Triple R which cost about the same but has a lot less tech on it and a Micky mouse dash taken from the 660 Tiger sport.

I've got the Suzuki 2024 gsxs1000 and the induction noise pisses me off tbh. Not their fault as it's the euro emissions but I can tell you it's a good job I don't have an MOT for 3 years so I can mid pipe it with an SC project end can. 🤣👍

Great review & bike. Although I'm definitely getting old as it looks like a handful & I don't want one. I can't be arsed having a wrestling match with it when I give it some beans & also having to faff about with all the electronics so I don't loop it & end up in a ditch lol. That's a bit tongue in cheek tbh as I'd more concerned about my licence.

Thanks for the review. Anyone who had a Z900 and now has the MT09 can give some pros and cons of each model?

after riding this would you skip it just go to MT 10 exhaust ecu flash say DONE ?? or this that good to not get MT10

This really is the best sector for a road bike. Eveybike is this category is amazing. This MT09 is the best value in class. I wanted one, but the standard version is not being released in my country, and eho knows when the SP will arrive. KTM done an awesome promo here on the 2023 but new 890r. So im waiting on delivery. It's a tough choice with the MT09, street 765, and the 890r/990. Although the 990 is overpriced, IMO.

How would you compare it to the Ktm 690 smcr?

Good suspension and good tyres are what makes a bike great to ride. Throw in a CP3 engine and your golden. I own a first gen MT09 which I almost didn’t buy because of the terrible stock suspension. Now with Hyperpro full spec shock (slow- and high speed compression adjustability) and front springs it is one of the best bikes I’ve ridden. Not just fun but serious carving business. Just like the S23’s from the factory are not as good as the aftermarket S23’s, so is the SP’s Öhlins. The price of having aftermarket suspension set to your weight and riding style installed by a professional, is as about much as the price difference between the standard and SP version.

I currently own a 2018 MT10 SP and was seriously thinking about the new MT09 SP but I am going to wait a little while because I am sure there will be a new MT10 with that same updated looks and electronic package coming out in the next year or two.

I looked hard at the MT09/XSR900 before I bought my Z900. It’s got a few more tech goodies over the Z900, but I liked the ergonomics of the Z900 more, it’s more in the bike and a little more leaned forward, more tucked. Both have more than enough power on the freeway but the Z900 definitely has a little more grunt, the power is also a little smoother. The longer swingarm on the Z900 also aids in it feeling more stable at higher speeds. The Z900 needs a tech upgrade though, the MT09 has a 6 axis IMU, cruise control and an up/down quick shifter… the tech doesn’t matter as much to me, but for some it definitely does. I also like Kawasaki’s TFT more, that’s subjective though.

Yam are the only Japanese manufacture actually looking at the market movement. I'm sure you could dial any quibbles out of the suspension.

Great bike. I prefer the XSR900.

Getting really impatient waiting for my SP to arrive, (I ordered it over a month ago) won’t be here until the end of August, so won’t be getting it until September 😮

I've got the base Tracer 9, and I'm saving up for full Ktech suspension (about £1500) coz again........amazing all round bike, but the suspension is quite basic : a bit choppy at low speed, and lacks control when going for it on a bumpy B road

This or the monster? Or the xsr900?

I tried to buy a new MT09 back in 2021, but couldn't due to supply problems. So glad I didn't, because I found out afterwards that the handling wasn't great on that model. Time moves on, and I'm looking for another bike and this is back on my list, but it's a pity the looks are let down by that hideous exhaust. Never mind, there's always the Yamaha MT-10 SP and a belly pan!

Important question, for you! This Yamaha MT09 or Ducati Hypermotard 698 mono, for just FUN, and beating the traffic??

Nice bike to be a hooligan but the street triple is better looking especially the new baja orange and of course the carnival red and the yellow on the rs

Looks like it ticks a lot of the boxes, and sounds like it comes fully loaded, but not sure I'm a fan of any of the 2024 colours for this bike.

The color on your demo bike in the video makes the bike look "Barbie" or "Ken". I know it's the contemporary "in" color pallet but the bike will look dated in a few years. Kudos to Yamaha for all the latest improvements.

Interesting. I'm picking mine up today, after six years on two 1290 Super Adv. I just wanted to start over, without the weight and the bulk, even though the (esp latest) SAS are really fine motorbikes. And I was never able to travel as much as I thought I would. I test rode the MT-09 a few weeks ago, and that was it. Funnily, I disagree with all the comments about the SP being worth it, and here is why. First, Yamaha is pushing so hard to make people wanting to buy the SP that there is a catch, of course. They do much more money out of the SP. Now, can you get the same quality out of a regular MT-09 and some aftermarket changes, for less money, without the scale savings? I'm convinced you can... And here is the kicker: I weigh about as much as you do, Chopsy. And the first components to tune, in the suspension department, are the SPRINGS. The SP will have better components, sure, but, as every single Japanese bike, it will be set for a 70 kg rider. Exactly the same as the regular one. So, better damping, yes. Finer control, yes. But way too soft for heavy riders anyway. And, because I know that a lot of people are confused with it, I feel the need to point out that NO, adjusting the preload doesn't change the stiffness of a spring. Those who think otherwise, ask Neevesy. My English is way too bad to do a better job than his, of explaining this. Of course, 'standard' riders will get benefits from the SP. And if they like the colour scheme (I don't), it will be worth the bonus to them. But for a heavy rider? It's a waste of money, because you will always have to respring the thing. Oh, and as for almost everybody here, from what I can read, an R9 might be my end game. Cheers.

Nah! you want an old 900cc engine in it, I think they deliberately make them underpowered to not compete with their own 1000cc bikes such as the eMpTy-10. My 2000 E1 ZX9r was a 144bhp 101Nm bike with a short ratio gearbox (around 75mph out of first) that done 0-60 in 3 secs stock, and was the first production bike to do a sub 10 sec quarter mile run (some of these modern 200bhp bikes that cost ridiculous money can't quite do that), and that was the heavy 98-99 C models, the E and F models are so much better with lots of changes all over. With some tuning and mods and replacing the very heavy original exhaust, my ZX9r no doubt accelerates just as quick if not quicker than an H2 to 100mph+, top speed is a fair bit lower around 175mph, but how often do we need even that, and that bike cost me only £2400 three years ago. It is so scary I barely use first gear since I made quite a lot of changes 😂

I actually like the cyclops eye haha, no complaint, been riding the 22 version since mid 22, fantastic, only possible complaint is that its not a MT10. And ohh no you changed your intro! I liked that old ones musical

Hate sitting upright, wind blows u backwards, the buffeting is horrendous and my back start to get tired after a while. being slightly tilted forward like on the old Ducati streetfighter, new streetfighters at least is a must as it actually helps u when u travel long because the wind will lift u up instead of fight u. have the ktm 950sm and I hate the seating position. Think the new mt09 looks nice comapred to the old one, especially the frame but it kinda looks budget:ish somehow. Almost like it looks like a stamped steel frame that is welded together instead of alu twinspar/deltabox frame. But the bike is so fun, my d675 and my friend st765 felt pure ZzZzZz engine wise compared to this(gen 1 mt09)

Many reviewers of the latest gen bike create the impression that the previous gen was reasonably flawed. I feel that in the case of the MT09, other than the looks, the criticisms are mostly personal preference and in some cases ignorance (i.e. they just didn't realise that gen 3 also has the feature. E.g. range & fuel consumption). The heart of the bike is the engine, gearbox, chassis and electronics, and nothing has changed on that front. The rider triangle is adjustable on both bike's and the new version just uses the alternative position for the foot pegs and handle bars. The only functional difference is the addition of the maps. While maps are cool they are not really necessary on a sports bike. If you are going touring and needs the maps maybe the Tracer is for you.

Hi! I have a question. Between this MT09 2024 & the current XSR900 (not the GP), which one has more aggressive ergonomic riding position? Or which is more relaxed? Up right position or more relaxed position is very important to know for me. Thank you.
