I had a 2017 R6 and it was an awesome bike but the R9 will be better suited as a street bike and track bike. The R6 is a track bike first with the high revving engine and the ergonomics. The R9 has all the tech you can think of more torque and better brakes. I don’t get attached to my bikes so I sold my R6 that i originally bought for $8k back in 2021, sold my KTM RC8R and Ducati Panigale 1199S. All iconic and discontinued bikes. Can’t wait for my R9 to get here. I also don’t think they will make an SP version as they already threw everything plus the kitchen sink at it. Only think I can think of is carbon and Ohlins suspension. If that’s the case they would have made and SP version of the R6 and the R7.
I like the R9 not the winglets on the front. But everything else I like. Tech, sound, and price. I think you should get one but KEEP the R6. 😅 I like the R6,7,9,1000 but the R6 looks the most unique.
I'm going to the bike show tomorrow here in the UK to finally have a look at the R9 in person. I like the overall design with the integrated wings. I will most likely change from my current gen 4 MT-09 SP.
Get the DJI Mic 2 kit and I swear your audio will never mess up. It syncs with the Action 5 Pro so flawlessly. I have both and it's amazing. You can put one in your helmet and one in a jacket pocket or magnet stuck to your frame and your audio will be insane. Plus you'll have two channels to play with in post. For the R9, idk man. I love my 2024 MT-09 SP so I'm sure I'd love the R9 but that R6 is iconic. If you have to sell the R6 to get the R9 I say don't do it. I took my bike down 66 out to Skyline Drive the other weekend and it was an amazing ride 💪🏻
I love everything but the winglets. Makes the front end look wide and less aggressive but im not going to be staring at the front end while driving so its whatever. Cant wait to upgrade from an FZ07 in a couple years. Also the R9 has everything the MT09 SP has so not sure if they will have another package. Guess well see.
R9 will sound great but sound aside it should be a little quicker than an R6 because it has only a little less horsepower but like 6000rpm earlier so it's gonna be pretty faaast
@@nate9479 Yes the R9 reaches max hP and torque sooner in the RPM range than the R6. It also has a higher torque figure. I wasn’t saying I disagreed with your statement.
@ yeah i know but I’m just saying it would always need to have more peak torque to reach the same horsepower earlier in the rev range … unless the torque would peak extremely late I guess … ye nevermind 😅

what mic do you have set up? once you fixed the settings I feel like it's the best sounding in-helmet mic I've heard on YT

How would they make an SP version when the R9 has the features of the SP MT09 😂
Congrats and enjoy your bike 😊😊
That Grom is 🔥🔥
What tires are you running on your bike?
Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsas
Rather sell that r6, scrap that r9 idea an scoop up r1m

@ well ye that’s how it gets to a similar power level in less rpm, that’s kinda how that works

hello from Türkiye, good video
I’ll take that r6 off your hands if you’re selling
Nice chicken strips
