Actually they are Sumitomo, Yamaha s own brake and suspension company. They been building them for Yamaha forever then became a subsidy of Yamaha. Pretty impressive, I have one bike with ohlins and brembos. My other has an R1 Sumitomo rear shock and calipers. I much prefer it for ride quality and braking on the street especially.
@@musguelha14 yeah I stand corrected. I saw that once my new mt arrived. The brakes though look identical to the r1(sumitomo) set up on my other bike, are nowhere near as strong. One of the things don't see none of the reviewers mentioning for some reason unless comparing it to a Triumph or KTM R. . They suck. ,.The rear with the Nissin is very strong. I'm going change pads see if that fixes them. Lot of hoopla over this bike. Some deserved, some not.
I'm one of those who changed their mind about the headlight.. really liked the 2nd generation, which I think is still the among the best looking bikes out there due to the headlight, but this one has grown on me to the point where I actually do like the look of it. Can't wait to have my hands on one of these in a few months.
it can happen , nothing is far , no one absolutely noone ever thought that r6 will someday come with twin engine instead of 4 , if u have told a any person a year ago r6 will be twin they would have laughed 😂😂
I'm so hyped about the prospect of an R9 on the horizon. Same powertrain, better suspension and brakes, clip-ons, maybe slightly stiffer frame and sexy fairings similar to those on the R1. We can dream right?
Revving the engine from idle doesn't do it justice. I test rode one recently and the noise it makes even at city speeds made me giggle the entire ride. The sound it makes is pure music to my ears. No need for an after-market exhaust. Everything is just buttery smooth: fueling, transmission, quick shifter. You can use the quick shifter and blipper even at lower RPMs (take that BMW). For the blipper to work correctly you do however have to completely roll off the throttle, otherwise it does not activate at all. This bike has come a long way from the 1st generation jerky wheelie monster and Yamaha has really dialed it all in perfectly now it seems. This would be my next bike if it would just look less ugly. I know, there's the XSR, but over the years the design has lost its appeal to me. It has not aged well and has started to look a bit goofy to me. I'm more leaning towards "authentic" neo-classic bikes like the Kawasaki Z900RS these days (which can be customized to make 130hp for less than $500) and has a similarly giggle inducing engine. Also, you sit really far forward under the fuel tank, at least that's how it feels like. It reminds me a bit about supermoto ergonomics. Very different from my SV where the ergonomics are more neutral.
After 2 months of waiting I finally got my MT09 2021 and i am just loving it 🤩 comparing to my 2017 MT09, MT09 2021 is just brilliant and i am the happiest person alive on earth 🌎🥰
@@santiagomoralesgarcia1802 personal preference really. We’ve got two at our local dealership and I gotta say, it didn’t get any better. It looks cheap!
I recon best bang for the buck is the new Suzuki GSXS1000. More more powerful now with a up and down quickshifter better looks bigger tank and only a bit more weight. And the price is almost the same. So I hope Suzuki UK will provide U one and then we will know what's what :)
I went out today to check out some bikes I'm considering for my next bike. It's amazing how small differences in a bike can make a huge difference. I was keen on the Z900, but sat on one today and found I didn't really like the ergonomics, the slightly higher bars on the MT09 felt really good for me, even sitting still the MT09 just felt light, it fits me far better. it's now down to the MT09 and the XSR900. Looks like I'm buying a Yamaha lol
@@MachoMadness69420 the z900 is boring. Literally a sewing machine appliance. A heavy commuter bike without the top-end power or looks of a supersport.
I personally like the front end. It’s unobtrusive but practical and the cyclops main beam is something unique. It looks a little bit sparse when viewing it from above (all the bolt heads make it look a little unfinished) but the look you get from the side, showing off the shape of the bars and forks, makes it look really edgy. If I hadn’t just got a new bike 9 months ago, I’d be testing one of these 👍
Don't take me wrong but, straight up big fat no. 890/R duke is still superior on any aspect (power, torque, the engine itself runs at 5.5k RPM something yama can dream off, a lot better suspension, brembo calipers, sturdier builld like everything is rock solid, while yamaha floppy pegs are just horrible... lighter bike and specially the looks). And that orange wheels are just psychological chass game of Yamaha trying to go away from blue and stealing KTM's signature orange color. We all know what's up, they try to compete with KTM but they really can't in naked world.
Nope, hasn’t changed my mind sorry, it’s still a very ugly bike and Yamaha needs to make some serious changes to it! The head light sits too high above the bone line and the arch on the tank doesn’t help disguise it. Motorcycles are designed to look like bullets, this looks like potato mash… Sorry Motobob but I’m sure most would agree.
I don't get it with motorjournalist and the Yamaha MT lineup. They should do back-to-back testing on its competitors and MT-09 will come out in the bottom. But i guess Yamaha treats them with nice trips to exotic places for testride and you don't want that to stop...
I cannot unsee the lack of those side panels. It looks unfinished and like they fell off or someone just forgot to put them on. It's really off-putting for me and I do like the bike, apart from that. Looking at this bike or the GSX-S 1000, which is more money. Wonder does anyone make side panels for this. F-me...
Here in the US, they are $9399, which sounds good, until..... Out the door price? $11,283.. Not all dealers charge as much on fees, but the one by me does.. It was a bit of a shock... Still haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I want one, so probably will. Just need to shop around a bit.
Nope, still can't stand the look of it. Saw it in person the other day and hated it even more. It's really just the headlight that bothers me, but boy does that weirdly-too-high cyclops eye ruin it. I reallying hope they update the XSR soon, preferably without ruining it's looks.
Triples have always been my engine of choice, I had and have MVs and Triumphs. I did checked this bike out in years past but wasn't sold. The latest version has addressed some of my issues I had, (hate the rubber brake lines). Overall it seems like a good bike in a very competitive field. I still love the Streety and Brutale.
Liked the look of the 1st gen hated the 2nd gens droopy stick out lights and now the 3rd gen and i love the cyber punk stripped out look, best of all generations imo. Hopefully no one else likes it's looks so i get a good deal on the sp next year. Was thinking mt10 having always had litre bikes but the mt09 is now so good it just makes more sense.
This bike would kick so much ass in American cities. I hope they sell the fuck out of them here in the states. Also, your videos kick ass. I wish you well
If I was buying just one bike I'd get the 2021 mt09sp as the do it all bike, as it covers all bases for me. Luckily I'm going to have two, so I'm keeping my 2015 mt07 as my runaround and in going to buy a 2021 s1000r as my sunny weekend blaster.
I would argue that the MT09 is the best in its class, for fun, reliability, and for a day to day rider. Only the Duke 890R would match in for fun but it’s a shame KTM have there reliability issues. The street triple might be a better track bike although that remains to be proven, but on the road feels a little to grown up and sensible. Having said that, all three a very good and I wouldn’t say any are the wrong choice, I’d be happy with either one but the Yamaha would take my money for ease of ownership and fun value
For bangs for your buck the MT-09 is unbeatable but in MCNs 250 test of the MT-09SP ,KTM 890R and Street triple RS they had the RS as the winner even though they gave the MT-09 the same number of stars with the 890R third.
As many comments state. Competitors for Price are Z900, KTM 790 / 890, BMW F900R , Aprilia Shiver 900. Its was lazy to forget at least 3 major brands in the video... A bit more expensive you got new Ducati monster 937 cc.
Stock exhausts don't usually bother me in terms of looks, but man, that just looks unfinished. Quite ugly, in my opinion. It'll get taken off by probably everyone no matter what it looked like so I suppose it doesn't matter much.
Looks terrific value for money, the looks are a bit quirky and will put some off though. Needs a screen to tidy up the front I would probably need to add a sports screen, really don't like the exposed regulator perhaps future bolt on options will cater for this. Likewise underslung exhaust ports also seem odd. Still definitely on my options list though, wonder how good a weekend mini weekend tourer this would be? Probably going to be either this or a Kwak 900RS.
What I couldn't stand on the MT07 and 10 previously, were the false air intakes. They really annoyed me. There was no aessthetic reason for them and they did nothing. The front light looks fine on both bikes. Test ride of 09 soon. Seems pretty perfect to me; I'm not a tourer. Small dash- Who cares?
Hey ! Many thanks for the Speedo Angles coupon code ! Got it for my new MT-09 ! :-) Love your channel ! For the past few months was only ogling at the MT-09 videos and finally got it on 1st June 2021 Even then I am still ogling at the MT-09 videos ! My wife and kids have had enough of me already ! :-) Life has been feeling so MT ever since !
Familiarity brings acceptance, the grasshopper headlight of the KTM or the bug eyed look to the speed or street triple. Their not pretty either. I personally like the modern look to this. In a few years, no one will think twice about the looks of the headlight
I love the new look. hated the previous one, but to me it is a no no. The tank is just too small. When I take a break, I prefer taking a coffee instead of filling the tank.
I had the 2018 MT09 SP I loved that bike, but from the looks of this one I could throw up everytime I see it. I oredered now the 2020 MT07, I'm really sad Yamaha hired some kindergardeners who designed this bike.
Exhaust -> Ugly, Brake reservoir -> Ugly, Headlight -> Ugly, Open side -> Ugly. Fix those things & I would have bought it because the new 09 is a nice bike to ride, but my eyes need to like it too.
Blinkers not very visible when lit. In sunny daylight Crap exhaust. Crap Throttle system I've heard, front light looks crap too lol Shame because bike looks nice
Loved my 2015 MT09 in grey, I don't think this paint scheme compares to it, that "sticker" on the swing arm looks cheap and nasty. Exhaust note is nice for a standard system, could learn to live with the headlamp as long as it gives off a decent beam.
The exhaust note sounds similar to the old exhaust when you're on the throttle. But I don't hear the gurgles and bawbles when you're off the throttle? Who doesn't love a little extra torque! Nice bike!
I'm looking forward to what they do with the XSR. And the 700 version. I need to see an MT-09 in the flesh to know what I think about the headlight. I like the lack of plastics. The frame looks miles nicer than the old one. I like the look and sound of the exhaust.
A screen protector for your motorcycle dash has got the be the dumbest thing I've seen in recent motorcycle trends. Also, I can't stand the new headlight design. 2nd gen best gen.
I loved the headlight of my 18. Don’t much care for the 21. Ruined the front end look but I can live with it for now. Can’t wait for an aftermarket replacement. Not going to change my mind, yamaha should never change their “angry eyes” headlights, it’s part of the reason dedicated yamaha buyers keep buying blue. I will be purchasing the first aftermarket option to make the front lights look closer to the 18 design.
Nice bike. I enjoy watching your channel. Did 3 maintenance videos so far on my bike (BMW R1200RT) will be making more videos in the future, hopefully it might help a few motorist. You don't have to subscribe but I'll be more than happy if you did. Thank you for sharing. Ride safe.

That is one fugly looking exhaust, looks like they just opened one end of the cat and call it a muffler.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an exhaust as ugly as that thing
Pretty interesting, I honestly love how it looks from factory.
Good review. Hate the tumorous cat/ silencer system. Never seen uglier.
Yeah, I love a good short exhaust system, but this one does look particularly ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb here.
Thinking a black matt paint job would make it look much nicer.
Looking at it at a foot above the floor it does look hideous, looking at it standing up, you hardly see it
Wonder if some matte black high temperature paint would help camouflage it...
The tech of this bike is impressive. If only it didn't look like a dead alien...
If you think it looks bad in this video, try having a look in person… it doesn’t get any better haha 😂 🤢
The could of done much better job !
I guess for those who don't like the design, there is xsr 900 for them 😄
And still no word on an updated XSR....

That is, without a doubt, the ugliest exhaust system I've ever seen.
They should've covered the hole where the rectifier sits. It looks incomplete.

Grotesque exhaust system which will probably blow dirt and grit up onto the chain. Front end ugly. Rest of it not too bad. Good explanatory video.
I am using 2021 MY09 for the past 3 months. Its an amazing machine so far. Good review 👍

I am wondering why do I always think about the KTM RC8 when I look at the exhaust of the MT-09
I'm waiting patiently for the updated XSR900
(if it ever happens)
They should have done this to the xsr instead of the mt, they ruined the look trying to make it look like something the xsr delivered on already
z800 z900 , z900rs and gsxs750 is best bang for buck forever
Unfortunately the SP version has a terrible paint job yet again 🤦♂️
Really, the SP has a truly great paint job
Duke 89R is better.
UK bikes all sound like hair driers. You pretty much need to upgrade your exhaust immediately

I need to see an MT-09 in the flesh to know what I think about the headlight. I like the lack of plastics. The frame looks miles nicer than the old one. I like the look and sound of the exhaust.
Pretty keen to see an updated XSR also, but the exhaust on that 09 looks like a cats rear dot lol 😂
@@Matt-wg1xi It's out of the way; that's what I like about it.
I demoed it a couple weeks ago and it sounds bonkers for a stock exhaust.
A screen protector for your motorcycle dash has got the be the dumbest thing I've seen in recent motorcycle trends. Also, I can't stand the new headlight design. 2nd gen best gen.
The Mt09 ist a really nice bike 👍
Thumbs up 🍀
You really took time out of your day to comment that garbage lol
Absolutely love this bike! But the exhaust has to go and be replaced with an aftermarket exhaust! Great review ✌🏻🇨🇦
Agreed 👍
Such a bad intro :( I'm writing this comment and I am still shocked
-Maaaan. I ht you :) Damn :) :)
I'm sorry i dont care how good it is - the front looks like shit. Not spending £1000 never mind £10k.
I hate the neo retro, so the new mt09 looks just fine
I loved the headlight of my 18. Don’t much care for the 21. Ruined the front end look but I can live with it for now. Can’t wait for an aftermarket replacement. Not going to change my mind, yamaha should never change their “angry eyes” headlights, it’s part of the reason dedicated yamaha buyers keep buying blue. I will be purchasing the first aftermarket option to make the front lights look closer to the 18 design.
Why did you get rid of your 2nd get in the first place then? I don't understand that.
Bike very nice, is bike 125cc and is bike available in India, me want bike, it's nice very much
i work in the industry. only reason everything ends with a 2, is because the tenere was £9499 on the road but road tax went up £3 last year.
Haha interesting! Thanks mate
Where do you stay in uk ??
Bristol area 👍
people lost interest in purchasing yamaha MT series because of changing looks more often than other manufacturers
Terrible sounding bike but way to be optimistic please dont its not a fake it til you make it type of deal 😉 horsepower and sound very important
Damn the quality looks horrible. I'm glad I bought a duca instead
You’re absolutely on the point buddy 👌👍👏🏽
I love the styling. Cyberpunk 2077 styling
what a ugly design new mt09. Why yamaha change so nice look and balanced bike?
my mind say can't afford it.but my heart say atlases wach the video
Nice bike. I enjoy watching your channel. Did 3 maintenance videos so far on my bike (BMW R1200RT) will be making more videos in the future, hopefully it might help a few motorist. You don't have to subscribe but I'll be more than happy if you did. Thank you for sharing. Ride safe.
