I bought it in April and I‘m so happy! I‘m 65 and the MT is the best bike I‘ve ever been ridden!

Great review up to the old "I don't think I could trust myself" comment. I'm in my 70's and love the machine and I'm no slouch. With age you learn when to apply the power, great bike for all ages.

Test rode one this morning for an hour. Really liked it and have bought the Cyan colour. Been riding an SV650 for the last three years after coming back to biking late in life. I’m 69 this year 🙂

Never ridden any previous MT but had a 900 triple Triumph Tiger GT and this triple is definitely more exciting, especially in Sport mode 😀. Had a short test ride last weekend and going for another this Saturday but 99% certain this will be my new bike. Tech and display style much better than the Tiger even if not as big. Never been keen on the looks but love this one in Cyan. Thanks for a great review. Watched all the reviews on YT this past week and not heard anyone not love riding this bike.

Test ride this Monday 😬

Great review. Even if it's not my thing. Definitely one of the great engines. Ride safe 👍

Beautiful bike, personally I love the blue wheels ❤

As ever, informative and relevant for the majority of riders who want an educated and rounded review - keep it up. I think you answered itr already in another comment (not in the review), but you'd take this over the Streety. Can you say why? Overall package, comfort, fun vs serious, etc? I'm hoping to see reviews doing direct comparisons, but your early insight would help fuel my need to replace my aging '11 Street Triple R which with an aging body too feels very firm these days. Cheers!

I've got my MT09 on order in midnight Cyan. Hopefully it won't be too long 🤞🏻

Nice one Tony. Thank you. The only bike on my list for 2024 is the XSR-900 GP. The original MT-09’s were, in my opinion, horrible. The disconnection between the front and rear suspension and chassis setup made it a very nervous bike when being pushed. At least they have finally nailed it with this generation as it’s a night and day comparison.

Nice review, thanks mate.

Best in class imo I tried the crop when I bought my gen 3 sp and for a road bike it’s better than the triumph and ktm can’t imagine the gen 4 being any different

I’ve been looking for a replacement for my 2021 Tiger 900 GT Pro, as I’m not doing any touring anymore and I want something lighter, i did have a KTM Duke 890 last year as well, I test road the Triumph Street Triple RS but found it too focused and I refuse to pay the extra for Cruise Control, I then test road the MT 09 and have ordered a SP for August delivery, never rode one before simply based on the styling I’ve also ordered a 2024 Husqvarna 401 Svartpillon for those days when I want to poodle about or if the weather is poor.

Found the seat tips you towards the tank which squeezes the nuts somewhat and is uncomfortable afer about an hour. Would get the ergonomic seat i think. 990 duke seat and position more comfortable for me but £2900 dearer so something to think about for me.Cheers

hi mate i have received mine a month ago and i love it alot

Love to see the 2024 MT10 or MT10SP.

Funny, I test road the gen 4 today. In all truth, it didn’t feel to much different from my gen 3 but have to admit, although all the changes are subtle, on the whole does make it a slightly better ride.

@ExcursionRipzz

Slightly better in what way would you say?

@Steve-motorcycles

2 ай бұрын

@@ExcursionRipzz The engine and the performance is the same. There is slightly more weight on the front end which transfers into more feel into what the front wheel is doing. It gives more confidence. The front brake is also improved offering more feel and progression. It’s not a night and day difference but definitely an improvement for sportier riding. What with the new dash and connectivity, it’s a better around experience. Would I say is it worth trading the gen 3 to a gen 4, I guess that’s up to the individual. Its better, but not massively

Getting this soon..

Looks like a great buy & will consider one but the Sp version so I'm just waiting patiently for a review on that or a test ride?😊 Great review Sir!!👌🏻👍🏻

Is it a good choice for a first bike?

I had the 2020 XSR900sp. I sold it because of the head shaking. Oh if only I bought it this year😪.

Was hoping you'd comment on the fueling/mapping? I tried the Tracer GT+ and found even Street to be too snatchy and on/off for my liking.

Nothing to report on the fuelling, the only issue was a sharp initial bite on the clutch

Is it just preload front and rear. No rebound damping adjustment at all? Thanks for the review.

My old 2019 MT-09 had a fully adjustable front suspension. From what I've read, the 2024 does too. I remember having mine set to be really soft, which caused a little wobble at hard acceleration at higher speeds. So, I firmed it up and it mostly went away.

@mancavemoto

2 ай бұрын

Yep, I’ve just realised I said it was preload only, when it is of course fully adjustable. My mistake

This is one serious contender for my next bike I’ve also thought about mt10 but from what I’ve heard through the videos the 09 is the best one what do you think I’m not real far from you I’m near Colchester and thought of TK copes being my nearest dealer

@mancavemoto

I’d pick the 09 over the 10, but that’s just my own personal choice. Might be worth a trip over to QBS in Maldon, it’s a really nice dealership

Enough power, and the pillion seat isn’t too bad size wise, but a couple of hours would be the limit I’d guess

Nice review sir. I briefly considered this updated Yamaha, but bought a new Street Triple RS in yellow instead. The MT09 has the torque. but the Triumph just looks so much better, and goes and handles so well! Even at 67 yrs old, I still have to consciously think about speed as it begs you to go fast. And track days are a blast for sure.

I’m finding the handling to be very good on the mt09 I’m on my first 100 miles and this weekend going to really take it on some curvy roads but even quick shifter felt better on it than the triumph.. which I didn’t get since full coverage was outrageous in the states for me

hey, i've passed my A license on a 2008 honda cb600 hornet, do you think an mt-09 would be a good first motorcycle in rain mode until i get some experience?

If you turn down the throttle response etc they’re easy to ride if you dial it up and turn off the aids it can be a bit back wheel happy a bike will only go as quick as you want it to imo it’s always better to buy something and grow into it than buy something and get bored of it in a month which I’ve fell victim to in the past

Just bought one last week. Love it but needs an exhaust and flash bad. Has a weird dead spot in 2nd gear
