I fell in love with Yamaha after seeing the MT-09 when it first came out. Did a test ride with an MT-10 in 2018 and never looked back. All of the MTs are amazing. Kudos to Yamaha, I hope they keep their dark side alive as long as possible.
The real BEAUTY of these bikes, is 😊the fact you can buy one and never have to worry about any mechanical issues no matter how hard u ride it. Ya can't say that for many of its competitors.
Nonsense. You can say that about every Japanese competitor.
@@flamintasty I meant KTM, genius
Well the only japaneese competitor to this is kawasaki Z900 and thats a different story cause its 4 cyllinder. @@flamintasty
@@cube1cze and that weighs as much as the moon so barely a competitor.
@@viezeturk8191 Nothing to do with the weight, it’s just flawed chassis of the MT.
Ducati Monster 1200 have same weight as MT09, more power, and don’t wobble.
Same for street and speed triple…
So many people seem to think these bikes are ugly. Keep doing you Yamaha I think this redesign looks fantastic
Having ridden an 2021 MT09 for a year, what an absolute hooligan bike. Its very nice to see it growing up as for technology. I will definitely own one again.
Still love my 2016 XSR900. Nice to see the 24 MT09. They grow up so fast.
Same. Love my 2019 XSR900. Would love all this new tech with the looks of the old XSR900.
@@adioheadyou should check what powerbronze do to the 23 XSR. Same colours as the 2016 XSR900 anniversary
Waiting for that R9
ew😂
Same. Hopefully it comes out soon. Want upgrade from my mt07
Get comfortable 😆
My first bike was a 2014 MT-09, branded as an FZ-09 at that time here in Canada. Was a total blast to ride for sure.
Good to see you back on a launch Chris .
Great review Chris as always. If ten years is making you feel old then for me looking back at my Australian Superbike racing years, when the road bike I had was the first Fireblade then I’m all of a sudden feeling each heeled broken bone from the thousands of laps I did around my home track being Phillip Island. Coincidentally, when typing this it’s Sunday, race two for round one of the Supersports and WSB at PI. Should be an interesting day as the sky is blue, track looks amazing, and not a drop off rain on the radar for over 800 kilometres.
Still got my 2014 MT-09 never missed a beat and with upgrades Suspension and Mapping its super crisp 👌
I prefer the ergonomics on the Gen 3. I specifically avoided the 765 rs because it was too cramped and aggressive but the MT was the only option for that kind of bike where it was truly upright, maybe with the KTM 790 Duke being a close second.
Bike manufacturers are constantly changing things, most of the time, well established naked bikes are just becoming more aggressive to the point where they might as well just stick on a faring and clip ons.
Exactly. Happy I got the Gen 3 with the higher bars and lower, more forward foot pegs. If I wanted an aggressive riding position I'd buy a sport bike.
Funnily enough, I had the same experience. I test rode the KTM, Triumph and then the Yamaha. I ended up buying the MT-09SP as it had the more upright and comfortable riding position. Even though the Supermoto type feel with the higher bars does spoil some of the handling front end feel, for the majority of riding, it is made up for by the comfort.
Amazing bike. Thanks 4 the intro.
Appreciate your review Chris. Always a pleasure watching you ride. Unrelated, but what boots are you wearing?
Finally 09 can be ridden more like a sports bike in corners and not super moto style. Loving the dropped front end and cornering now. Didn't want to go 09 mainly because it never gave that sport feeling in corners. This one changes it, as it seems. Will test it first chance.
It’s funny that the reason you avoid is exactly why I chose Mt09 instead of duke 890r or Ducatis.
Interesting to see how the sales would be for this one.
@@jun701 it's all personal taste, I understand that. 09 was much more comfortable than other bikes in a class because of its geometry, though. 👍
@@veljkovic92 Honestly I expected (and my local dealer friend) that Yamaha brings new MT(gen4) at least later 2025. Then it happened 2024.
I was happy with 701SM with all the racing preps. But I bought 23 MT09sp a couple weeks ago, because it’s the last model year. Depending on personal taste, it’s one of a kind, unique in good / bad ways, like hypermotard. 23 Mt09sp’s handling is agile but not sharp due to its unique geometry, (890R has the BEST handling in this class) but it also provides kind of funky feeling when I cruise fast.
I testdrove new MT09, and yes it fixed & improved key components. Very solid naked bike, but also more competitions.
@@jun701older and unsorted 09s are for real men (i own one)
Yes Yamaha made it more fun❤,more versatile and it’s price for new it's unbelievable ...this is from a ktm 1290 superduke owner 😂
Fair play Chris, that's some serious pace on hospital visit on every corner roads.
already got mine on order!!
Thanks for mentioning the abs thing for the sp, It's a deal breaker for me and I'm happy they're going to have it in the sp.
Got a flashed gen 2 09. Absolutely love it. Don’t know if I could own anything other than a triple
I wasn’t sure on the looks until I saw this video! Love it. Wish we had more fun colours. I just hope it’s not too uncomfortable on my old wrists, I really like how upright the current model is.
I didn't know gg's Bajo was an mt09 enjoyer. But yeah I think this gen looks awesome especially at night
I like how they did an lfa sort of thing with the vents channeling sound up to the rider I like that kind of stuff
I have an MT-10 and it's nuts. Probably to fast for the road, but i love it. 100cc less to me with the 09 is still gonna be quick as hell. I have a 98 Kawasaki ZX-9R and that's pretty rapid for its age, same displacement...do we need litre bikes...no, of course not, but they're so bloody cool and that's what draws people to motorcycles. I like the fact that bikes like the 09 are great all rounders, and they sell in spades for that reason. I think Yamaha could have the next great all rounder here, and it looks better than its predecessor. Also, Chris, can you teach me to wheelie like you? lol.
Awaiting the inevitable R9… now THAT’S gonna be “dark”…
Can't arrive soon enough..
That’s gonna be a whole lot of fun if it’s not too heavy.
Do you need to use a Yamaha specific app for the maps? So you'll have to share your location data and all the like with them? Or is it just a Google maps/waze/apple maps screenshare? I'm hoping the former but probably the latter...
I am interested in upgrading from my 2016 MT-07 to the MT-09 SP model. I appreciate the new and refined look of the MT-09.
It's time for a new Darkside of Japan journey.
Love my 09
I am also looking to move from an 2017 tracer to the MT09 SP.
It's interesting that the first bike Yamaha are fitting the brembo stylema's to is the mt09sp. You lads coming from other bikes, make sure you get a test ride on one. That way you know it fits right.
@@shadowred1980 Yes it is interesting but with the R1 it was the obvious choise. I think it will be in the next Mt10. The previous MT09 was almost perfect for me; my only major issues with it were the very supermoto seating position and the brakes compared to the ST RS.
Love my MT09 but seriously miss my FZ07. FZ07 is a better bike, just less horsepower. 07 torque hits harder and lower, handling and steering is far nimbler. I also miss the 53mpg the 07 got. But I'm 6'3" and just fit more comfortably on the triple.
Damn I want one, looks like a more modern snappy version of my 919. Gonna go to the dealer this weekend.
I would love to see this in a comparison with the Duke 990.
Urrrrghh I want it now!
worthy machine
Chris "Put a smile on your face" Northover 😁
Love my 2021 MT09-SP
I might upgrade mine, still hate that front
@@Bugside Don't like it either. Hard to believe they greenlighted it.
Gen 3 SP? That's what I have and it's brilliants even though people shit on the bike because of the headlight.
@@yayoi1 enough people complained that they did something about it😂
does anyone know what countries in EU the tour will be held? i cant find any info about a 2024 mt tour anywhere. Thanks!
Nice!
How's the vibration at the handlebar at various RPM? I rode a 2022 that had some high frequency buzz.
How does it compare with the new 990?
Chris, did you still notice any of the overly intrusive ABS the prior model had? I had the 22 SP model and ended up getting rid of it cause I couldn’t get the brakes to work well outside of turning ABS off.
The accent drew me in. The amazing content made me stay. Have you had the chance to try the sp version? If so, does it come with the ability to tweak the brakes for skids? Does the 2023 sp have the features as well?
YAMAHA 👑👑👑
Seriously the most enthusiastic reviewer of bikes today, and my favorite hippie. Good stuff. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
Thanks!
What’s his name ?
Chris Northover, he's the main Bike World presenter.@@Fittednocap
I really like that offset funky little dash the first 2 gens have though.
If Yamaha could spend more time on developing the aesthetics that would be great.
I loved my MT09SP 2021 bike, I swapped it for a GSXR 1000 and honestly I was quicker through country lanes on the MT by miles, miss that bike
0:38 anybody saying the KTM is better looking than the MT09 is lost and needs a map. Lotta people smoking crack when comparing this bike to others.
very good 👍
When is Chris getting his hands on the BMW F900 GS off road?
Well one thing is damn good sound from those mesh thingies, however what i'm interested in is you sir said its straight to the airbox.. so is it water proof ? Or will you wet your air filter every time it pours down ? :D
It's basically a U-bend with a drain away for water. They did think about rain
This or the new street triple? Street triple sportier than this one when comes down to riding position? Street triple looks somehow even smaller .. I’m 1,87
I saw the launch last week in lanzarote. Tracked down a group of testers with my KTM 950 SM in northern roads. Caught them in the Mirador del Rio, hoping to see you there but they were from eastern Europe...what a shame! Can I ask when was your road test/Shooting??
Hi, Chris was riding on Tuesday.
Chris, do the changes bring this closer to the 890 Duke R? Not liking the direction of the 990 Duke so I'm between the new 09 SP and a left over 890 Duke R
All depends on the type of riding you do but on paper, you get way more for you money with the 890R. It's lighter, has better suspension, brakes and chassi. You can watch Chris's review of the 890R, it should help if you haven't made your decision yet.
If you're worried about handling then you're better off waiting for the SP version since it comes standard with ohlins suspesnion.
I miss my white Gen 2 every day. I added LEDs, a tail tidy and quick shifter, and removed the eyebrow fairings around the headlamps-made the “face” look like a cobra. ZERO mechanical issues in three years. Great bike.
Triumph Street triple 765 is a contender with 3 cylinders.
Nice bike❤❤
thanks🙂
What's better this or the street triple. Rs?
Upping the preload doesnt stiffen it though does it? It alters ride height not springrate. Naughty, lol.
Superb hooliganry! 😂
The screen to border ration on that tft is like the vintage tv's/monitors. In 2024 theres no reason the screen couldnt have been bigger. Whats the point having an inbuilt dash if you need to squint (hyperbole) to see where you need to go
Is it reasonable for this cp-3 engine to be used as a superbike engine (obviously with some tune and internal bits changes)??
Considering the latest hot rumours of Yamaha R9 and also a possible decrease in capacity of motogp for 2026 regulations
Wait a minute, does it have navigation directly on the stock screen? Can it be connected to the phone?
You connect it to your phone.
As usua the best review
Well, well, well, look who's making a grand return! My favorite auto guru is back in action, and boy, does Chris know how to spin a tale about motorcycles! If you're on the fence about buying a bike, his reviews are like the holy grail-just what you need to seal the deal.
Now, don't get me wrong, this motorcycle's got some charm, but the MT 07 or the KTM 890 Duke? Now, those are what I call a proper caffeine fix!
But let's talk dream bikes, shall we? Picture this: the Ducati Hypermotard, chilling in my garage, waiting for its moment to shine. That, my friends, is what I call "Me-Time" on two wheels.
Oh, and have you seen the new KTM 390 Duke Gen 3 2024? That bike is straight-up fire emojis! 💣💥🔥🔥🔥---If you're in a budget!!
The designer was sick on the day they had to deliver the headlightdesign tho😂
You are not wrong. It wouldn't be hard to make a better design but they just keep fucking it up.
Jesus, practically any shape, a star, a pentagon, an octagon, put some attractive daylight running lights.
WE WANT THE R9 NOW!
Waiting for the new z900. ❤
what about the braking and abs problem that the previous gen had? is it fixed?
What problems?
The only issue with this bike is the short revs. It feels like it can rev a few more thousand. I find myself hitting the limiter way to fast lol. Finally getting used to it.
Hi Chris, gut feelings, this or the KTM 990 as a gift you could choose to own? Not including the unreleased SP and R spec ones…. Which I’m sure you’re looking forward to getting your hands on.
The ktm is all fun but still a ‘new’ ktm, which means all sorts of problems gonna occur. You just buy the mt09, ride out of the dealership and never return.
@@viezeturk8191 I can understand your point and agree to a point. Just hope those KTM days are now behind us. If reliability wasn’t a potential issue then the question still stands. Remember, the history of the MT-09 isn’t flash, being a previous owner of the first and second generation I can say they were rubbish when it came to handling, regardless what was done to the suspension. I even had my race mechanic swap out the suspension a know brand and it helped, just not by much.
I just bought the 2023 Mt09sp due to the fact that the new mt09 24 “fixed” some issues. 😂
- Geometry
New-gen raised the bar by 3 cm, so now Mt09 is no longer semi-supermoto handling but solid naked. Lowering the fork a bit/brake upgrade is a common upgrade(?) for Gen3 Mt09. Personally, I highly praise the brake upgrade. Stylema seems overkill (I rather keep an existing caliper but choose Brembo RCS racing ver if I had a choice.)
Anyway, the new Mt09 is a very good choice as a naked bike. But inevitably, this upgrade kills very unique character of the previous Mt09. It’s a weird situation - personally, I have very mixed feelings about this rational decision of Yamaha.
For me, if I want a naked bike, I’d rather go for
1) Ducati SF V2 or Monster SP
2) KTM Duke 890r
I have similar doubts. Few mounts ago I spent one day visiting few dealerships and MT09 was by far the best fit for me. Much better than Tuono, Street and Z. And a bit better than 890. The only drawback was it looks.
Now they fixed visual aspect but changed what I enjoyed, so completely different riding position. I know that pegs can be adjusted. This is good thing. Yamaha mentioned that handlebar's position can also be changed. I keep my fingers crossed that it can be put more or less where it was on the previous gen.
Right now I'm waiting for the information from the local dealer that they have new MT in their showroom so I can compare it to the previous gen. If riding position will be to similar to ST I will consider buying last year model😢
Looks like the same place they first promo'd the MT01 a long time ago.
I recon you could actually pull off a Sherlock Holmes biking vibe-get a Deer Stalker!!!
I like the Improvements but still would prefer an MT-09 Tracer with out Electronic shocks. You probably could unplug the rear ABS in a few seconds. In other words not the MT-09 Tracer GT which I think is the only Tracer model available in the USA
I loved the off center instrument cluster on the 2020 😢
2020 SP is the perfect MT09.
I like yamaha
Any Tracer riders here? Loving the glorious CP3 engine!
I just wish they made these with a half fairing like the old FZ1s, FZ8s and FZ6s. I prefer having a windscreen.
What riding boots are those. Can someone please let me know thanks.
Does standard version have cruise control?
Yes it does , both the base model and the SP
that front wheel did half the distance of the rear
But…where is the crash testing? What were you even doing there man?😂 Just kidding, man can’t wait the review for the SP!
Yamaha would have it 10/10.... if they would have given it a 4.5gal (17L) tank finally, after all these model refreshes. Now with cruise control, it could tour no problem. Would be nice to have that extra 3 liters of flexibility. The weight penalty would be a mere 4.8 lb weight.
Tank and headlight much improved, but the stock exhaust could look better. Gen 2 MT-09 had an amazing looking exhaust
That’s the first thing people are going to rip off the hear the triple sing, so I don’t think they care too much lol. As long as it passes euro5…
I always ride my mt09sp 2019 with abs plug out/tcs off and ride mode a with a acrapovic and tune 130hp… love it!
2nd gen the best design 🐉
Where is it again?
Looks good too. Don't like that the ABS can't be turned off 😣
I will like to have this bike😊... And i will
Little laugh at the end said it all..
Thoughts vs hyper 950SP?
Test ride it, if you like it by it...
I had planned on picking up a new MT09, but $1200 off a 23 XSR900 was too good to pass on.
XSR900 is such a beautiful bike! Did you get it in the blue or black color? I know the display might be "outdated" compared to the new one in the MT09, but I don't mind the small(er) screen. It shows you every info you need; I even think that the bigger screen on the MT09 looks like you put an iPad on top of your bike.
So all in all you definitely made the right decision, I'm also planning on picking up a 22' or 23' XSR900 this summer :)
I was going for the mt09 but ended up on a gsx.
Just out of interest, how can you say that Yamaha streetfighters will safe have you not ridden Vmax?
i see a dutch licence plate but you are not in the netherlands
Can we have the R9 soon please Yamaha?
How?
Yamaha announced a few days ago that there will be an 2025 R9 to replace the R1.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
New bike this year. Very tough decision.
Street triple RS.
DUKE 890 R
DUKE 990
MT09 SP.
thats the short list.
Is the ride location in Greece or Iceland?
The location is Lanzarote Canary Islands
It's in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) if I am not mistaken.
Imagine that, the MT-09 was “perfect” at a press release ride. Hmmm strange that every bike is always “perfect” when the manufacturer pays for you to go on vacation!
Everyone has Dutch plates and you are nowhere near DutchLand.
Then I realized that the EU HQ for Yamaha is in DutchLand.
Song name ?
Where is R9?
May finally upgrade from my 20 SP, especially for that more sporty riding position
Looks good, I just want nicer colours.
so did they address the frame issue?
The one that if you hit a vehicle, the front of the bike falls apart?
@@wirenut3020 something about the steering part and mid section of the frame will crack over time, especially if theres slider installed.
