- Welcome viewers to our 'second' motorcycle review installment here at 6tdegrees.
This episode we have an interesting comparison test against two of the same branded bikes, built with the same 3 cylinder engine...and yet... they could not be so far apart from each other. The results may surprise you!.
Today we have the MT09 (FZ09) vs XSR900.
So what does make these bikes so different from each other?

Thank you all for the “fix the audio” and “music is too loud” comments. YES I am well aware the music is too loud at the start of this video, yes I’m well aware I should “turn the music down”
Don’t worry... we have been with our other video reviews 👍. However since this video review had already been uploaded to our channel over 2 years ago... there is nothing I can do to change it.
So please if we could keep that comment to your selves... that would be fantastic haha.
That way I don’t have to keep removing that annoying comment and be constantly bombarded with the same repetitious comment... BELIEVE ME! it’s stuck in my head.
Are you sure there cross plane mate 3 cylinder I know 👍good video
Benjamin Russell cheers mate appreciate your kind words, but they are a cross plane crank.
6Tdegrees has anyone mentioned that you need to fix the audio? The music is too loud as well!
Music is too loud... 😂
I have an app on my Windows PC called Sound Locker (it's free) - it normalizes sound volume and I HIGHLY recommend. I didn't even notice the music was too loud.
Well the FZ-09 will look good for 5 years, and the xsr will look good forever.
Everette Haire exactly
The XSR will look good as long the Café racers are trendy.
Fz looks ugly af
@@vikifrelih8091 they have always been popular
@@vikifrelih8091 there's such thing as classic lines. You're wrong
I love my 2021 xsr900. When the front wheel is floating through first and second, I'm sure it feels as manic as the mt09. Plus, it's a sleeper. You're almost always the fastest thing on the road, and the harley guys don't know it, until you show them.
Their only difference is that xsr is a good looking bike!

Xsr900 all the way! Great video 👍🏽
She's a beauty..
Pretty much comes down to aesthetics...and for us older guys past our hooligan days it's the XSR all the way for it's throwback appearances. Visual similarities to what we rode during our youth. It's just our style, simply. What most of us like.
Thanks fella's enjoyed the review, I've got the 2017 09, but like em both!
Liked the video, editing and opinions. Hope to see more content from you guys!
Great review. You got a new fan and subscriber from the USA
Saving like crazy for one of these bikes.
I personally like the personality of the XSR a bit more. I really like all of the custom parts you can get on that bike. Definitely need the slim headlight, the bench seat, and tail tidy kit...obviously a new pipe too.
Just watched this again. Good review. I prefer the XSR.
Helo,
I prefere the look of the xsr 900.
Good video
We all do. However I could not afford an xsr. 2000 extra was a lot to ask.
I just got mine 4 days ago super happy with it
@@412stock412 really here is differe ce just 50 euros :D
@@darkmagician2730 I wish that was the price difference in my area.
Yamaha's 847cc Crossplane Triple is a motor that will go in the history books. Triumphs triple is a stout 3 banger with a far superior suspension, but the FZ 's triple takes the cake. Reliable, Raucous, Torque for days and oh so much fun. It's hard not to smile on it. All these bikes are great bikes, but there's just something special about the CP3.
@Ben Daulton i wish the yamaha triple was closer to 1000 cc . i like the power of speed triple but its not as nimble as yamaha. also the over all cost of ownership of triumphs is scary. ive got too many friends with broken down triumphs. i went with xsr900 , its not as well speced as speed triple but i know its gonna run everytime i hop on it. .
Triples has always been the best. Triumph knew it first
@Ben Daulton I recently purchased an Sv and feel the same way. Its a well balanced bike but nothing rowdy about it to get your attention. Will def be upgrading to the mt09
Ben Daulton Triumph makes a 1,050cc triple FYI...
I would put the speed triple engine first.
xsr 900 most beautiful bike out there right now
Great review thank you ☺
Great video. Very informative thanks
Xsr900 looking good! Good review
great review- u got a new subscriber!
Enjoyed the video! Love from India! :) Cheers!
I just bought accidentally a XSR900
I always wanted a mt09
But on the fb marketplace , i made a great deal , and ended up buying it . Man i love my xsr it looks great in person with the 80's Black and gold color .
Thanks guys, love your work, love the music but way too loud 👍🏻
Graham Hodgson yes we know haha 😂
One is modern look and the other is classic, i love the classic one
I want the XSR suspension on a Mt-09 :P Hmm atm i'm leaning at the Mt-09 sp tbh. Havn't tried that one yet doe.
God review guys. I'd be leaning towards the XSR its more my style.
I have the 2016 model since Spring, and its a beaut. Done some longer trips (2500km) and it copes fine.
How can you stand the super small gastank in the M09 models? I dont even do long trips but still i avoid bikes with small tanks...
I do about 220Km on my 2017 fz09... Not too aggressive, not too soft!
That headlight on the mt looks like one off eBay to me.
@@xXxTripleHxXx ride one
XSR700 owner, love it - XSR900 next!
Went with the MT09 in the end, but they were both amazing.
I have the XSR. The power delivery is the same. Are you using Mode A? It just may feel like the power is different because of the better suspension.
Yeah agree. A is insanely snappy on both. i Have the blue 2019 mt09, and my friend a red Xsr900. Very similar in the power in my opinion. I miss the qs on the xsr though. I feel a bit more seated into the bike on the mt, and a bit more on top, when riding the xsr.
Got a 2021 xsr900. A mode is super touchy
Isn't the 21 different than this xsr cu they went to an 890cc? Trying to decide and cabt find any to test ride by me i like the xsr but not sure if my butt does. Also id love if the power delivery is the same @@MrFurley69
Just picked my mt 09 sp up today love em both mightbuy the xsr tank light seat and swap them over every so on lol have best of both bikes lol
thanks, guys. Great video, look forward to your next. How about a Ducati 821?
Can you please elaborate on what adjustments each has on the suspension? I am quite interested in the XSR900 or the MT-09 SP. The SP obviously has much better suspension but is also a few grand more expensive. If the XSR900 has decent adjustments so I can at least get the pre-load and rebound damping set up correctly then it might be a goer. Still considering the standard MT-09 as well.
TheJaisah pIt The suspension is better, but not greatGet xs ? and buy decent Nitron shock, way better than sp. shock
wicked review man! from that supermoto dude up the road
BALLSofSTEEL351ci Thank you so much.
Hoping we can get more and more of these reviews out on a weekly basis instead of monthly
looking forward to seeing lots more!
Great bro, nice bike my dream one, very expensive here in the philippines mt-09 560k php, hopefully in the the future you will be mine.
Love the XSR.
Well done lads
I own and love my 2017 FZ09. What engine modes did you ride in?? Also, doesn't the XSR have the better suspension outta the box.
Yep
I bought the MT09 and I love it. I wanted the xrs but it felt too tall . I love the snappy feeling on the MT09 it always lets you know how aggressive it is . Especially when you need it the most.
Xsr900 in A mode is just as snappy
Dose the xsr 900 have better high speed stability compared to a 2016 fz 09 ? I rode a 2016 fz 09 on the freeway once and it did not have the high speed stability my fz6r has.
Not a fan of the mt09 headlight. Anyone know if you can convert it to the mt07 light easily? If not I like the xsr900
For me the xsr!
"Avocado sandwich guys" I LOL @ work.
Xsr for sure 👌
Seems a fair review, check ur sound level the music drown u out
XSR 900 also comes in blue!
Good video just need to work on your audio quality and edit .
Hooman Mahdavi please was turned off by intro music so loud like it’s louder than the speaker. Don’t need the the music when we have engines
I got rid of my 600rr 2 years ago because my back couldn't take anything more than an hour ride. Now I want the XSR900 but it's 2021 and nobody has any stock :(
XSR900 my dream bike😍😍😍
Hey guys girls trying to decide which to get either one of these mt 09 or Xsr 900 or cb 1000r or Kawasaki 900rz so what do you all think is better out of these bikes
XSR looks great but the MT09 felt more comfortable
Ross Sherwood
It's because of the seat on the xsr. It's not as wide and it's hard as a rock
The word aggressive has basically answered it for me, the mt09 is more for me, I have ridden one and I did love it, actually u didn't find it snappy at all, I thought it was insanely smooth, but to be fair I had the original mt03 (660cc single cylinder) at the time, so I was used to torquey at the time, now I'm on a vfr750 I'd probably find the MT feels about as snappy as a jack russel!
What mode did you ride the mt09 in? B?
You were driving on the wrong side of the road! LoL good review guys!
Its british lol
@@naturescall7441 Australian 😉
The XSR is definitely the classiest and most elegant of the two despite sharing the same hooligan heart as the MT9, which to me just vulgarises the overall hooligan image. The XSR can shine in smooth style and throw a tantrum. Yes please.
MT09 is leaning more towards supermoto seating position whereas the XSR 900 is more of a traditional naked bike position, Ive ridden the 09 and it felt great. It is super narrow between your legs and the bike is super flickable. Takes no effort to turn what so ever. However having the handlebars so close to my body felt weird wich is why i probably would pick the XSR. BTW the XSR does not have the quickshifter installed and wont get it for 2018 either... thats atleast what my dealer told me
xXxTripleHxXx you are absolutely spot on and yes the XSR900 does not come with the quickshifter only the MT09 has that option, but it's up shifts only not down as said in the video review.
I changed my bars out to basically clip-ons and it makes it a whole new bike. Think supersport with no back pain. I love this damn bike, it just makes me smile every time i ride.
Can you give a brand name and style..
Aditya Gohil Hurricane Fat Swallow Bars. Crazy name, I know..but they are made in Japan ...and are QUALITY and just plain awesome on either bike
Is it true that the throttle response is way more different between the two?
It's funny when he says Yamaha, it sounds like "YamahaR"
3:00
Yamaha ARE....
That's right just listen to Japanese pronounce it.
Probably going to buy a XSR, cannot decide between blue and grey.
ruysk I would pick the blue out of the two 👍
The silver is timeless if you plan on keeping it forever. There is so little actual paint on either you could easily have either vinyl wrapped and change the whole appearance while protecting your factory paint.
But the MT looks so much more aggresive. Thats what will get you attention.
I'll pick the xsr. It looks really cooler than the mt09
Sweet
Except rim color i likethe mt09 looks
A remap on either bike sorts the engine out and throttle response. This levels the engine's out.
Moonman Chronicles. I would guess so. I would do a remap on any new bike as a matter of course.
Sometimes it is called 'flashing'.
Not sure where you are in the world but, here in the UK there are a few private companies which will do it. Yamaha I think would not do as it may void the warranty.
Bikes are usually set up for emissions regulations which stiffle's the engine. A remap of the ECU will give better power and smoothness throughout the rev range. The smoothness was what I was after.
You are correct about a remap for aftermarket exhaust fitment.
I went for a standard remap in which you don't need to put your bike on a dyno as somebody else has already done the ground work then sell's the information. So, the private company buys the setting's, hooks up your ECU to his computer and re-sets the ECU.
The difference was very noticeable straight off the bat and worth every penny of £275 I paid. It took about 2 hour's to complete and included removing the 02 sensor.
Hope this helps......
www.vcyclenut.com
The fueling on the 17+ has already been reworked and is smooth. The flash will smooth it out a little more, but also allows you to change what temp the fans come on, top speed limiter, AIS, etc...also required if you add a full exhaust system so the bike doesn't run lean since the drastic change in air flow.
The phrase you're looking for. Is Neo Retro.
XSR900👍
Are they both 2017?
I believe the xsr has 3 driving modes. Those weren't discussed.
I'll take the MT09, just not sure why they off centered the dash
In the UK both engines are identical
Chin Chenzo
Yeah, they're totally the same. If there's any change at all, it's in the ECU settings
Which bike for a tall rider? 1.88m
All 3-cylinder engines are cross-plane except for Triumph which uses a t-plane in some tiger models. So its kinda marketing hyperbole. That being said... yes that engine is superb.
xsr 👍
Man that mt09 headlight is uuuugly ill take the xsr
I like the mt07 one though
8:18...All you need to know. :-) I played that back about 4 times. Put a big smile on my face.
I couldn't agree more. I got the xsr in 60th anniversary yellow speedblock :-)
EastBay MauiBoy 'bang for buck! They are just awesome' we meant it 😉
Can you add the quickshift to the XSR?
nope, that's why the MT-09 is a better bike. There is a slipper clutch that comes stock on the 2017+ models, and quickshifter add-on feature. The riding ergo is more aggressive and more in line with the character of the engine.
Yes of course
I don't think Yamaha went far enough with the retro look on the XSR to justify the "R". Other than the round headlight it just looks like another modern sporting bike.
That headlight on the MT is hideous
Helped me with my choice. XSR900! Check out my exhaust vídeo.
The seat of the XSR is like a stone, and it feels much heavier than the 09..
So, did you do the whole testing in first gear?
Looked like you didn't exceed 50kph for the entire review...
They're in Australia, where police are around every corner with a Lidar gun, salivating to pounce on the next criminal going 1km/h over the limit.
Who else is reading comment's while watching?😜😜😜😜
Same bike one is old school (xsr) and the other new school (mt09).
Thumb down for the sunglasses , but nice pictures .
100% a better looking bike but im going with the 2018 fz09 this week.
There is no 2018 FZ09. In 2018 it's called the MT-09.
@@KoolMada I know that now that I own the bike lol Its kinda hard to call it an mt09 though after so many years of it being called a fz09
@Jeremy R Yeah. I dont mind the name. But its a pain in the ass to explain to people because a lot of people know of the fz09 but not as many know of the mt09. So it confuses them when I talk about it.
Would you buy an MT-09 for your personal bike?
Best all around bike I have owned, hands down. When the time comes for another bike, I have my eyes on that BMW S1000R and the MT10
No. 2021 xsr900 here.
the phewe is quite similar
Yamaha great bike !
A super improved cafe racer.
😊I just turned off the volume 💀
XSR 900, obviously
they must mess the power in oz same engine same power in uk xsr900 rocks
👍XSR 900 is the best..👍
So get an xsr and put a quick shifter on it . Got it.
Mono front brakes? That's a big bike.
What's the song at 5:48 ?
Nevermind it's Bad Karma by Axel Thesleff
Audio bro audio 😑 nice content tho 😁
There's just something so satisfying of Australians reviewing motorbikes 😂
I'm xsr lover bro
Mt09 for me. Both are amazing bikes.
Whats the song at 4:35
damn, I heard this song back in the day but now I need to know, have you found it ? :D
I lIke more the XSR900
XSR
xsr 900 muito mais bonita
The xsr is just an option for the old men. Wouldn't trade my 2018 mt for anything. Great review guys! 👍
Front suspension on xsr900 is fully adjustable not just rebound
Jamie Nicholls last we checked on the 2017 model it only had the rebound adjustment unless the 2018 model has changed.
