Very nice review! Keep it going, love riding!
Great review, ive watched it many times. I bought a black one it will be here next week.
Cheers
You looked really comfortable riding it kinda hard Dan, looks like the MT09 fits you well ;)
Nice review!
Nice review, thank you!
That looks amazing! after the 07 it has to be this
What a beast!
Looking forward to the review of the SP version.
You take care Dan love you’re vid
Don’t know where you’re getting the music from, but I like it. It adds a nice touch to the video.
Artilist.👍
I really like the updates. Much better value than the pervious gen which is saying a lot. Considering the MT09s have been the bench mark of best bang for your bucks.
Lovely review! thanks for the video as always, Dan! Was fantastic. Agree this gen front end looks MUCH better than the previous. Hoping the MT07 looks basically the same 😁thanks for the continued top tier content!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
you know a bikes good when you look for negatives that arent negatives.
WELL PUT !!!!
i love the blue wheels.
I love this bike. I will get one soon within 5 years.
I need it😮🔥
Looks good Dan. Quite like the sat nav in the dash for free, looks good. I recently did a triumph survey and that was asked actually so must be on their radar too. It's Obviously closer to the R than the RS but looks like a really good alternative. Be interested to see your comparisons between them once you've had the chance to compare.
I'm really happy with my 765RS esp now it's been tuned. I reckon the MT09 SP should be that bit better again than the standard MT09.
Did you get the drone shots yourself or were they done as part of the launch?
Cracking vid as always.
Thanks mate, yeah definitely closer to the R and the SP will be the RS competitor. I feel they are a bit different, essentially for me the MT is more raw while the Street Trip is more sedate and refined. Depends on what flavour you prefer really! Drone shots all done by ANT Productions.
Best value bike, no doubt.
Yamaha always king ❤❤
Impressed with how fast it dries out in Lanzarote
The one day we were riding, it was wet. It was sunny and hot both days either side of the trip! :D
Great video Dan. Are you sure there is a cruise control in base trim?
You can see it on the left-hand switchgear 😉
Yes.
What a beautiful place to ride. How nice to not have miles and miles of traffic jams like we have in Washington, DC.
haha im in rva and feel your pain
Those headlights look awesome. Finally a masterpiece
We agree!
Nahh the old one is wayy better
How difficult would it be to add a handlebar fairing to keep off some wind and rain ?
Oh I love this machine
Me too!
Think this could be the next bike for me.
On the tank on those vents is Yamaha sound of the engine comes through when in high revs so the cp3 engine is in your face ❤❤
They are called acoustic grilles.
Have fun and stay safe, or what is the point! Nice video Dan.
Hey Dan! Thanks for the review. Is the seating position still upright and comfortable? Thanks.
Like he said, asked. How is it?
It's a little more over the front, but not terrible for average journeys of a couple of hours. I finished the day with a bit of a sore bum, but nothing horrific.
Thanks. So far I am planning to get one in the coming Months.
@@Englishbikerdan thanks!
They really nailed the neon color! Would appreciate a review on the 2024 model Honda CB650R! You planning on checking that one out?
has to be the e-clutch version!
Absolutely I am. 👌
@@Englishbikerdan Amazing! Not a fan of the 2024 model by the looks but I think I'm running out of time to buy the 2023 model so I have to know if the 2024 model apart from the stylistic choices is just as good as the previous models. Thank you! Will be waiting for this!:)
@@Rookiereece I'm not that interested in the e-clutch but a review on it is always good. I think Dan will do that one since it's kind of new technology as far as I know.
Most fun bike ever and best cp3 engine❤✊️💪🦾
Nice view
I think the front calipers are Advics. Lovely machine. Thank you.
Yep, the Yamaha in-house brake callipers are Advics =D
That's definitely the best looking MT-09 ever. Miles (MILES) better than the single eyed one.
I feel like this two but everyone simps for the 2nd gen
continents better
Agree! Best looking mt 09.
100%
@@ARC-4824because 2nd gen is life
Loving the look of it now,. Dude what are the gloves your wearing please ??
Richa Cruiser 2 gloves.
Hey man, does it have pops and bangs? And do you think there will be aftermarked exhaust like mivv and sc project for the Euro 5 + ?
I don't remember any pops or bangs. There will definitely be aftermarket exhausts.
How can you compare this to duke 890 ? :) which one you like more ?
Worth an upgrade from a gen 2?
Quick shifter is smoother when speed is higher usually and more clunky at slower speeds. Assuming it's just how it's designed to work.
Is it?
@@Englishbikerdanyes. When you’re hauling ass and upshifting, it’s super nice and smooth and same when slowing down
really curios about washing it with those acoustic intake grills on top, maybe there’s an extra set of filters? or some sort of water channeling?
I'm guessing they've tested that extensively, as they will also be ridden in wet conditions.
How does this compare to your Tracer in terms of ride feel, wind, comfort and anything else you can think of? Stuck between this, the Tracer and the XSR for my next bike!
Tracer tempted me for comfy pillion commuting (small city, very low distance and speed), and longer fun rides, but I'm not sure if It's better than the MT for what I need (no rides longer than a day yet)
It's exactly as you'd imagine. Tracer is less agile but more comfortable. Depends what is important to you I guess.
the face reminds me of Yamaha Xabre 150cc in Asia
That front light shroud does nothing for me and I prefer my 3rd Gen rounder and minimalistic bodywork to the more angular shapes. Radiator shroud is an improvement though. Looks aside the improvements are nice strengthening an already brilliant bike.
And that's why looks are subjective, couldn't stand the front face of the gen 3 personally.
Apparently the rear suspension travel is shorter on this chassis. How does that affect handling and comfort?
I didn't notice any issues.
Hey Dan, you're probably a good person to ask, since you've owned/ridden both. I'm debating between a 2021-2022 Tracer 9 GT, or a new MT-09. The MT-09 is lighter and probably funner, but the Tracer is better for longer rides.
Do you think the Tracer gives up a lot vs. the MT-09 in terms of playfulness and fun?
Yeah Tracer definitely does lose some of that, but the trade off is it's better at distance.
How's the vibration at the handlebar at various RPM? I rode an older MT that had high frequency buzzy vibration.
I didn't even notice any vibes, so I'd say that's a good thing.
@@Englishbikerdan Nice. Must have been the one I rode. Had the same issue with Street Triples. Had a 675 that was silky smooth and then a 765 that I sold because my hands went numb despite throttle body synch, re-torquing all the mounting bolts and handlebar mounts, added weight, etc.
gen3 has no vibration whatsoever either.
I'd describe this bike's styling as if Fulgore from Killer Instinct was a bike lol
😂, yeah, but paint up the nose cone and I think it looks like Iron Man with those DRL's!
Killer Combo!!!
Dan are you going to check out the 2024 BMW F800GS? Considering it as a first big bike!
Hopefully in late March.
Wonder how hard it would be to strap a xsr headlight as a replacement. Mounted on the exact same forks.
Or get the XSR?
Is this the SP one and if not do both non SP and SP come standard with cruise control?
This is not the SP, and yes both have CC.
Such a shame they didn't update the MT-07 to match, I guess we'll wait until next year.
We can only hope!
Фара светит также хорошо как и в предыдущей версии или хуже?
รถคันนี้แรงมากๆ
The pegs appeared to be unusually high for a naked bike and your legs consequently looked to be quite bent so it came as no surprise to hear that your knees were aching.
Yeah it looks a bit to different for my liking my gen 3 is right where I want the ergos for a shorter rider probably would be good but
Better for ground clearance though. And let's be honest, who buys a naked street bike for ultimate comfort?
@Englishbikerdan I did wouldn't say ultimate comfort though but if I wanted that sort of foot position I'd of bought a supersport and I can move my rearsets up a notch anyway if I want
as a taller rider (5'9'') im worried this bike will look small, and i prefer more hors powers, such as 150hp+ ideally 200hp but don’t like the mt10 design...
Awesome bike but it's frustrating that Yamaha continues to put sub-par braking systems on their machines. I mean this bike has enough power to get you into trouble and then they don't give you the brakes to be confident that you can stop. Even my CB650R has twin 310mm discs and Nissin 4 piston radial mount callipers. It's one of the few things about that bike that make me think "Nah I'll pass". Sure I could save and get the SP but I think it's a bit expensive and overkill for my skill level.
Get a street triple rs 👌
@@JoLXP I mean, they are great bikes but I personally think they're ugly with the goggle looking headlights and they're known for being unreliable so it's a pass for me.
@@The.JZA.unreliable? Are you on crack? They're super reliable.
I seriously doubt that simply switching to stylema calipers will give the desired effect. The wooden feel is mainly caused by the over intrusive ABS.
Apart from the stock pads being a bit tame there’s not really anything wrong with the hardware.
@@MachoMadness069 I don't know bro, I have never even ridden an MT09 but I do know that just about every single review that I watch of the MT09 mentions the wooden brakes that are underpowered for a bike with so much thrust. With good power comes the need for great brakes. Underpowered brakes are a recipe for disaster. If they just made the discs 310mm then that alone would make a good difference. I'm not sure what comes with the Stylemas on the SP but hopefully it won't just be the callipers but also steel braided hoses and Stylema master cylinder.
How does it compare performance wise on the road compared to the Triumph Street Triple 765RS?
The STR would be the fairer comparison, until the SP comes out anyway. STR feels more locked in, has a better braking feel too and has a lovely engine. BUT, the MT09 has that hooligan factor that's missing from the Triumph. Not everyone wants that, so it's nice to have a choice. And I love the STR.
@Englishbikerdan thanks for your reply. I've got the new 765rs but not had chance to ride it yet👍
I need to try a Yamaha again.
The Tracer 9GT I owned just felt… boring. It might be To good or the design of it just didn’t agree with me?
The 09 have shorter swing arms than the tracer, my gen 3 just power wheelies everywhere due to that. I can't find that boring
I guess it depends what you are comparing it against. My Tracer 9 GT never fails to make me giggle.
Guess it is just to good I guess. It did nothing for me and I should have changed rubbers since the from factory felt pure asphalt.
Not that the Avons on my Triumph would do better but then again, it isn’t an adv.
Maybe I’m a Tenere kinda guy for the longer trips?
And… I haven’t tried the GT+ yet. Might be a different beast? The instrument cluster seems Much better than that of the GT. don’t now if the glaring has gone but just might.
Had the MT07 & MT09 and the brakes on both were pretty bad.
I've noticed the brake fluid was quite dark after only a few months, so I've changed it and pads, and it was a noticeable improvement.
Other than that, the MT09 was an excellent bike and I am sure I'll have another one again.
The problem is that I couldn't stamp on the brakes, but they seemed okay. Certainly better than my gen 3 Tracer 9.
Wish they would make the TFT bigger its got huge borders on it would cost very little more..
That postage stamp sized navigation window would be useless for anyone with less than perfect eyesight
And yet I found it pretty good. If you have bad eyesight you probably shouldn't be on the road tbh.
@@Englishbikerdan Nearsightedness has no bearing on ability to drive or ride. What a ridiculous comment
The map bit of the dash does look quite small. Why wouldn’t you want the biggest screen possible? It’s not just about eyesight, it’s what detail a quick glance gives you as you switch from looking at the road - a bigger map display in the dash would make it easier all round. I suspect that Yamaha, like all bike manufacturers, has budgeted this bike down to the penny, and if they could fit a bigger dash and stay on budget, and thought most buyers would want one, they would have fitted it.
@@MH-xd2nd True. Im now used to the 6.5” TFT screen on my S1000RR and it is so much better than those tiny things the cheaper bikes have. Mt base MT-09 is a penny pincher bike.
Can you tell me, did it have braided brake lines ?
It did not.
Red and white would be an idea
Could be good!
The new front wheel-oriented seating position combined with some brilliant S23 rubber (my next ones after 8 sets of S22’s) make it fun in the twisties 😃🔥💯🏁
Which do you prefer the new mt09 or street triple R ?
A very good question, and one I will answer once I've ridden them both a bit more!
The XSR900 :)
890cc is not a "middleweight." Back in 2003 the Honda Fireblade was a 900.
Is it 2003? Times change.
would you rather take this or striple 765 r?
Tough choice! Probably this as it's more fun.
@Englishbikerdan out of curiosity how?
So my guess is that it uses the data from your phone for navigation that could cost if you cross into another country
Yeah, same as all connected nav apps. Defintely worth checking if you are crossing continents.
Not much of an improvement on the headlight from the previous design. Yamaha needs to go back to the drawing board.
I couldn't disagree more, I think this looks so much better personally.
Always wanted a yamaha mt09 but I'm a short ass of a hight 5ft 4 lol... I sat on one before can't touch the floor 🤣
Where is that? Lanzrote or similar?
Yeah Lanzarote.
It seems Yamaha makes a better triple than Triumph.
Just different approaches.
MT 09 is almost perfect, except that headlight...why cant they put a bit more effort to make it a bit more attractive to a wider audience.
I love it.
Well there's one then 😂
Dutch plate!!!
The CP3 is a gem of an engine, but the rest of the bike screams budget in every way.
That wasn't my impression at all after riding it.
Thats why I as yamaha fan went with triple rs… (also unstable mt09 front is a huge turn off)
@@wojciechkubik2247 triple rs eats the mt09 for breakfast in terms of handling. it handles like its on rails. mt09 is only good for wheelies and stunts
@@bazitube390 thats what i keep hearing! Waiting for delivery… :D
They ruined the SP version with keyless ignition.
And why did they have to put that stupid "BMW-esque" indicators, which just means, nobody will use the indicators now.
This or the XSR900
Everyone saying they need better brakes not realizing the mt 09 sp has brembos
It does, but not everyone wants or has the budget for the SP version. I would like to see some Brembo's on the stock version of this, a la ST-R.
@@Englishbikerdan true but I feel that every review I’ve seen of a mt09 everyone has loved them and it seems like a long term bike to keep so why not just be patient a couple a months save what you can and get the best version 🤷🏾♂️
Idk man it's the new headlight design for me, the previous gen headlight already got a lot of hate an now this -_-
You don't like it?
@@Englishbikerdan yup, I rather go with the previous gen headlight then this. Either way, I'm starting to make a conclusion that Yamaha designers just can't get it right with the headlight design of their Mt series, same thing with the Mt-10, everything looks good expect the headlight -_-
Neverlands?
Plate is NL, but I think the press launch was in Lanzarote
@@Dingy099 thank you
Lanzarote land.
@@Englishbikerdan thank you
R9 incoming 🤔
Oh yes.
Literally needs 4 literations to get polished...
Yamaha of yesteryear is long gone in my books.
Literally like all manufacturers. They make changes as the bike matures.
to be honest the very first Mt09 looks better.
I agree!
Me too the 2019 mt09 looked best now it's like a jokes in terms of look
This 2024 bike marks the death of the MT series. All downhill.
@@SolidPRAWNlol sure buddy
Finally they realized the previous design was a total disaster
The breaks are ridiculous
How do they make the headlight even uglier than the previous one? Gen 2 is still the best looking IMO
Is everyone omboard with the aquablue color? I hate it. Nobody takes this color seriously
Yes I love it.
I don't trust a Triumph, KTM, or Ducati to keep working after the warranty. Yamaha wins by default.
All bikes can have issues though. Case in point, my 2016 MT07 failed spectacularly a week after the warranty ran out. Two new sensors were required.
Why would anyone want those hideous pastel blue/green wheels?
My favourite colour. So yeah, I would
Because we all have differing tastes.
To each his own of course, but the wheels stick out like the old sore thumb.
The BMW fan boys are crying about the ugly headlights on the new GS, wait til they see these.
I quite like them. Something different in a sea of black, silver and wine red.
Yes some will like them, but not many. Bit like the looks of the bike.
launch #yamahaxsr155
C3PO 🤣😂🤣😂
It just looks terrible from every angle
Can't wait for the XSR900 GP.
Subjective, but do you have your glasses on? 🤓 I'll be riding the 900 GP at the launch event in Portugal. Can't wait!
Wiping the camera annoying
Rain on the lens is also annoying. Sadly I've yet to figure how to control the weather.
is it AUTOMATIC ?
No
It just has a quick shifter up and down
The quick shifter has been updated so you can down shift while accelerating and up shift while decelerating... both of which are completely unnecessary... nobody wants a higher gear while on the brakes.
@@JoeStanek-vu7rl true in that case but if your just coasting then you kick up a gear then just back on the gas. I’ve done that before. There are situation where it’s viable. But absolutely not when you’re hitting the brakes.
At least it's less ugly than the last one.
That's debatable and subjective.
@@hiddendragon415 Man the MTs are all ugly AF…
I think it looks stunning.
@@Englishbikerdan sure
😂🤣😂
Wtf is wrong with this cyclope style spam?
Don't look at the previous version then!
Absolute puke of a colour rims are a disaster
Kawasaki is so far behind with the tech lol, hope 2025 will the same features :D
