I'm getting the SP at the end of May - Test rode one today, for a second time. The handling, the plushness of the suppension, the rider triangle. It's really good. And it went like stink, 236 km/t was the max on a windy day 🤣 it's all the power you would want on the road 💪

I think the entire bike, headlight included, is so amazing looking. Extremely industrial looking, almost anti-aesthetic

I really love my SP - got it about a month ago, and have already ridden a little over 2000 kilometers on it. This bike is SO GOOD!!!

it looks better IRL but it still looks odd :) it seems like you had a great time, and thats what counts! great clip man!

definitely thinking of an upgrade from the 1st SP ...mine is the 7th SP in OZ... the colour scheme on this new SP is outstanding! ... and all those goodies onboard....including Cruise Control

I had a ton of fun demoing the SP. So much, that I actually rode it on 3 different sessions. I felt the quick shifter was super fast and solid but a bit clunky. The power delivery was awesome and the brakes were solid. No power surge in the lower RPMs which was good. The clutch grab was a little far out for my liking and felt like it bogged a bit in first gear getting going, but all in all I loved it. Also, I'd have to set the suspension for my weight because it was super stiff

Great vídeo! I hope soon I can drive My Bike Like You. I still driving it in mode 4... Missing all the fun, but after the first service I will make a try. Congratulations!

Nice one Spencer. Looks good. I'd have one but the mighty Buell would never speak to me again.... 😂😂

I like the looks, especially the SP. With the front cowl and black hardware the headlight looks a lot better. Love those gold forks, silver swingarm...and the sound!!! 👍👍

I put 11290 miles on a '19 MT-09 and the throttle was not "snatchy" in any mode. I think it's excellent torque right off the bottom makes rather delicate hand motion necessary, otherwise it may seem to many to be a snatchy throttle by its software. I now have a Speed Triple but I didn't let the MT go easily. Mine was not an SP and had it been this '21 I would probably still be riding it. It needed suspension & a frame tweak bringing the headstock down a bit from its original "hypermotard" design - that was it. The Speed Triple has a noticeably better seat, better suspension (mines an S with fully adjustable Showa front and rear) and is a generally more "relaxed" torque monster for my old bones.

Nice video. Currently shopping around. Any thoughts on the Kawi 2021 z900?

I'll take an SP. I think this bike is beautiful. Test rode both models the Sp handles better and feels more planted. Gave a deposit on one should be here in July. As for the headlight? Looks weird at first, but looks so sick with the lights on and that triple screaming down the road! Im in!

My first bike was an 2015 MT-09 Street Rally version. Loved that bike. This new one looks even better and has been refined to make it that much better.

Mate, I think your shifting foot is a little unaccustomed to quickshifting. Also no throttle twitching is necessary with either shifting up/down. Steady and positive, the bike does the rest.

I'm hoping to get one soon.

I'm 1,80 tall, you think it's small for me maybe?

I’m not sure how tall you are, but I’m a taller rider and one of my concerns looking the bike is the handlebars seem a bit narrow. The specs on the bike seem very impressive. In real-world road conditions, it seems to make more sense than a lot of liter bikes, such as the MT-10. The 0-60 mph times are on par with MT-10, if not slightly better, but it falls slightly behind 0-100. The gas mileage is also much better on the MT09 at approximately 49 mpg compare to 30 mpg for the MT10. The MT-09 SP adds a lot of rider safety and comfort features and seems like a good value. I have to see which bike fits me better, considering I’m on the taller side, but on paper it would seem like the MT-09 SP is a more sensible street machine. I like the looks of the bike, including the headlight, but I wish these naked bikes would come with an option windscreen to make them more practical on the highway and other high speed riding. Something along the lines of the old FZ1 makes a nice balance for a naked street bike.

Can anyone describe the difference in feel of the suspension from the SP and the standard version. Obviously the SP has higher spec KYB front forks and an Ohlins rear shock a the standard is all KYB but how much of a difference is their when it comes to handling etc?
