For the same Price, better get a Street Triple ! Which is the current best bike in that category. Frame and motor are insanly good (Moto 2...) , and the suspension is top notch. MT09 is super fun, dont get me wrong. But if I Can have only one, the Street Triple is so.good stock for commuting, canyon carving and track than I could not chose another one 😮

@@neodurden6793 I just tried (and bought) the 2024 MY. I think you can’t compare 23 and 24. I tried the Streety RS (23). I think the SP will be better. No joke. Only reason to buy the Triumph: You are a tall guy with long legs.
I own an acoustics consultancy and we often conduct noise testing against the Aussie design guide for vehicle exhaust noise. That exhaust is interesting. Standards require measurement at 45 degrees to the side of the exhaust outlet. With a horizontal exhaust, the measurement point is 45 degrees off-axis which is only a couple of dB quieter than on-axis. With a downward facing exhaust the measurement point is at 90 degrees to its axis which is typically up to 8 dB quieter (maybe 5 with ground reflection). The exhaust can therefore be louder and still comply at the measurement and bystander locations. Same goes for the amplifier grills because the measurement points are lower to the ground. Very clever, Yamaha. Beats the way Harley cheats their way around the noise emission standards!

Thank you! Can i ask you wich Model you own?
Hi you referred to a comparison of the MT07, 09 & 10 that has no link and I can’t find
SP model adds supermoto-ABS mode for those skids, backing into corners if you want. Besides that, Stylema brakes and increased suspension capability. Otherwise, I don't know if SP is worth the price hike. I'd modify suspension to my own liking anyway, and I would fit it with BETTER shock and cartridges than what comes on the SP model. I really don't ride to the extent of backing in to corners (even though it looks super cool and would be a fun skill to have). The XSR900 GP is the one that gets the '24 updates (electronics, TFT, switchgear, suspension tweaks, etc). The standard XSR will have to wait another year to come in line with the MT. Value for money? Yes, the best in the 890cc category. Probably the most reliable too. I'd say the Z900 is probably potentially the second most reliable, also a great value, powerful, but really paired back in terms of technology (a lot of tech these days is not really tangible, more emotional and mental in practice).
Ordered mine yesterday. Waiting for the delivery.

Agreed. Switchgear is miles better both in layout and tactility. Switchgear has been a complaint of mine since 2014 on the MT-09 and it's only take this long to get some decent stuff.
Hmm I'm just wondering is it really worth it. In all honesty my only interest is the added brembo caliper (I'm talking sp model) I wouldn't bother with the basic. But they still use rubber lines

I know it is a bit of a “first world problem” but I genuinely do struggle to choose what bike I like best in the middleweight naked market! I tried the ST and it was awesome.

When it comes to MT series of Yahama, the design of the bike is not for showing off the beauty of the bike because it’s not, but with the rider on it. The left-control switch design is awesome and it feels like we have easily manage through the settings in the dashboard. Besides, if comparing to Ducati Hypermotard 950, I would pick the Ducati because it’s v-twin engine and the look of it given that there’s no CC or immediate blinking lights stop…
Definitely still glad I went with the RS. Having ridden the last model MT09 SP and both the latest R and RS models I don't miss the torque and find the Striple to be more than perfect for the street. It's just an overall better bike to me. That said, the new MT09 looks so much better than the previous models and in a world with no Striple I'd have no problem getting this one.

I got a Kawasaki Z400 as my first street bike and I'm glad I did. It still scared me when I first started riding it and then over the course of a year I've pretty much mastered it. Still very fun but it doesn't scare me anymore and I like being a little scared😆. To tell you the truth it's not whether you can handle the power of the MT09 in regular conditions because most people could handle this bike as a first bike in regular conditions. It's in high stress, emergency, or think fast conditions where it will matter. I've rode the z400 for a year and I'm thinking about upgrading to this bike now. But if I would have gotten the mt09 first I would probably be dead or seriously injured right now. Also you WILL drop your first bike. Do you really want that to happen with a bike that will cost at least $13,000 out the door? Or even worse wreck it and have costly repairs or even worse total it and still owe the bank all that money? And last but not least as a new rider bike insurance is much more expensive than for people who are experienced. And the more displacement and value of the bike the higher the insurance. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
i am actually thinking of trading my MT10 SP in next Year for the new MT09 SP.

Well, as an MT 09 firts gen owner I have to disagree in some points. Some of us really got this bike because I was some kind of supermotard when it came to ergos and riding but with a lower maintenance and more comfortable on daily basis, it was special a different approach to a naked. Now they took the bike into the same filosofy as the other bikes on the segment in part I think because of the magazine reviews but not based on the MT 09 owners. Still a great machine, don't get me wrong but sometimes being unperfect is the way to go on the riding experience.
Damn Yahama's (sic) are fiiiiiiiiine!
having the acoustic intake in constant rain/dusty environment would be great!!!

CBR650R is a good street bike, easy to ride, with smooth linear power. The leg ergos are a bit cramped imho, due to the accessible lower seat height. Obviously, an inline-4 649cc won't punch like an 890cc triple, but that depends on your riding style.
I just sold my gen 3 MT09 and bought a Triumph T120, MT09 is just getting too uncomfortable, time to chill, also that CP3 engine noise drives me crazy even at 70mph, sounds like it’s going to explode, I prefer the MT10 to the MT09, the extra weight means you can’t throw it around as much but it’s so much more stable at higher speeds on the highway, and the engine sounds epic
I was considering buying one, but seeing that pig ugly exhaust has given me second thoughts. I'm not overly keen on the headlight unit either but I could maybe learn to accept that, not the exhaust though.
anyone knows the hadelbars Width
@lifted_above
Ай бұрын
OEM Yamaha part no. BME-26111-00-00. I have no additional specs on that, but if the overall width of the motorcycle is the bars, it's 32.3 inches (820.4mm) wide, otherwise it could be the mirrors reach beyond the bars (cannot confirm).
It looks amazing! I think it is the BEST looking generation. I liked everything about the third gen aside from the transformer cyclops headlight. I was back and forth conflicted about that headlight. Sometimes I thought it was okay, other times not so much. And it was WAY TOO HIGH. There is a lowering kit that brought it down by 3 inches which helped significantly but it was still an odd headlight. This 4th gen though? PERFECTION. The headlight front end is lower and the lines smoothly transition into the tank. Those lines then flow all the way into the seat and bodywork around it. I like that the LED 'eye slices' don't look too much like eyes, I actually dislike all the 'eyes' headlights on modern bikes. This has more of an Iron Man mask look, the eyes are still there, but more sci fi and less blatant googly eyes.
Torque is what we need for adventuring.. Speed is dangerous..especially in Indonesia, where empty street , out of nowhere goat, cow, bull or scooter mom jumping and enter the road😂
The MT09 is sweet but the fact that it doesn't have top of the line brakes and suspension is a bummer, but that's just another reason to but the MT09 SP!
I'm stuck between this or an R1... Very different bikes I know but I feel like I should just get the R1 as I won't have the opportunity to buy a brand new one in a few years and the price of them is probably going to go nuts like the R6! So maybe R1 now, MT09 later (don't want MT10, prefer the triple sound for the naked bike).
What the fuck with the headlamp 🤣🤣🤣
Nice review & it's a great bike but why can't Yamaha make the MT range look half decent. It looks better than the last one but that's really not hard is it. It just doesn't flow. I don't know who in the Yamaha design department is coming up with this look & then which manager is signing off on it. It's looks aren't a deal breaker for me but equally it's not a selling point at all either. If I bought one, it'd be despite them not because of. Obviously looks are subjective but I'd really struggle to part with 10k, which is a great price, if I'm not really sold on the looks.
