i just bought a very lightly used 2021 Matte Raven Black MT-09 a few weeks ago. I've been riding for 50+ years, this bike is the most fun bike I have ever ridden, I love it!
Hey Lynn and congratulations on your new ride. What a machine. I truly so love this bike, was just saying at the weekend that it pretty much all the bike you could ever need in most situations. Enjoy 😉 cheers 🍻
Riding for 42 years, bought a 22 MT 10, as Lynn said, the bike is just plain good fun. Comfortable, fast, and fun. Puts a huge, child like smile on my face every ride.
Just traded in my 22 suzuki gsxs1000 for this yesterday😊. No regrets that mt09 is more.than you could want on the road. This Engine is a Gem💪😎. Good review as always
I really love mine. It is the perfect bike for the street if you’re not someone that does touring. Yes it would be nice with a bigger steering sweep. I navigate through heavy traffic without any issues but it would still be nice if it had it. The abs kicks in on the rear pretty easily over imperfections in the road too. Last thing would be the stock fuel mapping to meet noise regulations in 1st and 2nd. Those are the biggest issues that really aren’t going to make this bike anything less than amazing. Two of them are easily solved for a couple bucks and the other is less issue if you’re comfortable with leaning at very low speeds. It really is an incredible bike that I’d suggest to anyone that isn’t a beginner for daily street hooliganism. Last thing is the bike you’re riding is a 2021, the 2022+ has cyan blue wheels. Everything else is the same but the wheel color is different without the option to choose which is weird because I definitely prefer my fluo red wheels. Stupid that it’s only one year when the less attractive color gets two years
Hey, congratulations mate. You can probably use the MT-09s power in more places perhaps. Such a great bike. Powerful and light. Love it. Enjoy mate! Cheers 🍻
@@Revviews test rode the Rebel…🥴 not for me don’t like the pedal set up I feel like want to poke me feet out lol No room by foot peg and gear lever..The meteor way better comfy ride..love the Vulcan 650 now that’s on my list🤔
@@fastestonearth1 Hello mate, was wondering how you got on. I've not taken one out myself. By sounds like I'd dwarf it then. Yeah good shout there. Cheers 🍻
@@Revviews omg. You wood hate it…I am 5ft 7/8…felt like nowhere to put me feet..🙈..meteor way more better .the ride of the rebel quite Nice but this pedal issue..plus your right leg very close to engine..you would be cramped me thinks…I am looking for my first bigger bike Love the way the meteor went..sat on the Vulcan so nice…..you must do one 🙏🥂
I have this in the SP version and love it, as the owner of a ZH2 would you upgrade from the SP Yam to the Kawasaki which is what Im thinking of doing ( this is my second bike ) lucky I know cheers Pete
Hi Pete, thanks for watching mate. It's a tough one as the ZH2 isn't nearly as agile as your MT-09 SP but in terms of raw power its another level. If I hadn't got the ZH2 I probably would have got the SP and tuned it. Best thing I'd say is book a test ride and see what you think. It's incredible fun that's for sure. But needs and exhaust for sound. I've done some videos if you haven't seem them already if that helps.
@@paulboyle8522 Hi Paul. Only had the MT-09 for a couple of hours, but for that it was good comfort. I think some recommend aftermarket comfort seats for longer trips.

Thanks Michael and congratulations mate. If I had the money and space I'd 100% get one and I would probably be out on it most of the time as its just so fun. Great machine. Enjoy. Cheers 🍻
@@nmi8286 i actually own a 2022 mt09 and the turn radius kind of sucks. Youll need every bit of that 2 lanes to turn around. The first time you push those handles all the way to one side it will catch you off guard because how limited it is
Hmmm, good question. Personally if I had the money I'd go with the SP, mainly because you then get a great specced bike for the price. The GSX-S1000 does have the edge on power but overall the SP woukd be the more enjoyable ride day to day. But my thoughts but hope that helps. Cheers 🍻
Hello mate. Yes you can, from memory I think you have to go from the main screen, select TCS and hold the up arrow button and you should see it go to off. You can't to this from the settings screen. Again that's from memory. Hope that helps. Cheers 🍻
Don't think you can disable abs in the setup, you either have to pull the fuse, do a burnout or pull a long wheelie to fool the system into thinking the abs sensor has gone faulty which then disables it.. I've also seen some people add a switch to the abs sensor wiring to achieve the same thing.
@RaGiNg88 did you get your new bike? Was wondering if you liked it? I got one in 2021 and it's a ball to ride! I always have a smile on when riding this bike. Stay safe and hope you enjoy your bike!
Did you say you were 6 foot 4 and a larger framed chap.. How does the bike feel for your size? I am just about same height and larger frame. Have mt09 on my shopping list, just don't want to feel like a gorilla hanging off a scooter.
Lol, I know what you mean. Let's be honest we will both dwarf most bikes but the MT-09 is actually a good fit. The MT-07 seems a little more compact but the 09 is great. Take one for a test ride, only way to be sure. I think you'd get on Well. Cheers 🍻
@@Revviews cheers for info.. yeah think I will book a wee test ride. Struggling to find something to replace my 1290 Superduke. This might be a decent replacement.
Man this review was absolutely brilliant. Just the pure natural excitement and honest review. You really showed me so much and answered all my questions, doubts and positives of this bike!
Hey Tony, thank you my friend and I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I do enjoy making them, just wished the channel got a bit more time in the limelight, hard to compete if you know what I mean. I'll keep pushing on in 2023. Cheers 🍻

Literally, the best demo of riding modes I’ve seen mate. Superb.

Thank you mate and it's a superb bike. 👌 cheers 🍻
Just bought a 2023 cyan storm and I'm loving it. Moved from an r6 and its the best thing I've done.
Hey, congratulations mate. You can probably use the MT-09s power in more places perhaps. Such a great bike. Powerful and light. Love it. Enjoy mate! Cheers 🍻
Thanks for detailed feedback on quick shifter. I couldn’t find much on it elsewhere. Great review!
Thank you mate, much appreciated and glad the review helped. 👍 cheers 🍻
Great review, was nice to meet you this morning at p & h and chat, you now a new subscriber 👍
Hello mate, good talking with you earlier. Let me know if you take the GSXR out or if you think the MT-09 is a winner. Cheers 🍻
Thats the storm fluo, not cyan. Storm refers to the grey tank then the wheel colour, fluo (fluorescent orange) Cyan is the turquoise blue Wheels.
You should have got the black version IMHO.
Test driving the Honda Rebel 500 tomorrow in the morning….🥂 nice video 🥂😎
Yes Terry! Top man! Thank you mate. Hope the test ride goes well. Cheers 🍻

Great video, tanks.
Your welcome mate, cheers 🍻
Great review, I've just part exchanged my 1st gen MT09 for the latest gen, I totally agree, its amazing, love it.
Thanks Michael and congratulations mate. If I had the money and space I'd 100% get one and I would probably be out on it most of the time as its just so fun. Great machine. Enjoy. Cheers 🍻
How's the turning radius for this bike? Does it need more than 2 lane spaces to do a complete U-turn?
Hello, no mote than 2 lane spaces. Very easy to maneuver. Cheers 🍻
@@Revviews That's great, thanks mate.
@@nmi8286 i actually own a 2022 mt09 and the turn radius kind of sucks. Youll need every bit of that 2 lanes to turn around. The first time you push those handles all the way to one side it will catch you off guard because how limited it is
@TEXASBLAZE 101 i agree, I have the 2021 and it's not a turning bike lol. Have to be moving or do a donut lol
How did this compare to gsxs1000? That and the sp are very similar price
Hmmm, good question. Personally if I had the money I'd go with the SP, mainly because you then get a great specced bike for the price. The GSX-S1000 does have the edge on power but overall the SP woukd be the more enjoyable ride day to day. But my thoughts but hope that helps. Cheers 🍻
@@Revviews thanks for the reply. In my country the sp and the Suzuki are the exact same price so that's a great perspective
@s4m130 Any time mate. Have a great Christmas 🎄
can you disable all traction control&abs if you want to?
Hello mate. Yes you can, from memory I think you have to go from the main screen, select TCS and hold the up arrow button and you should see it go to off. You can't to this from the settings screen. Again that's from memory. Hope that helps. Cheers 🍻

What kawasaki do you have?
I have a Z H2.
Review it with a new exhaust
Would love to, I bet it sounds incredible 😍 👌 cheers 🍻
It is this or the KLM300sm - lol - decisions, decisions.
Lol, MT-09 ftw. A real peach of a bike.
Im 6"4 and found the my07 a tad small for long rides, were you still comfortable on a long ride?
On the 09, yeah super comfy. It's obs not a big bike but it's spot on. 👌 cheers 🍻
You make me nervous driving on the wrong side of the road. Got a mt09 today and I love it.
Lol. UK right. Congratulations mate. Enjoy. Cheers 🍻
At 57 years old after not riding for 10 years, I just picked up my mt09sp 23 , the ride home was fun fun, fun....
That's awesome to hear and congratulations. What an epic machine you have. So good! Enjoy mate. Cheers 🍻
took it to the track (as you advised lol) - even more fun!@@Revviews
