Here in Japan, we are still waiting for them too. 😮. Officially, the launch date was 24th of July, but visiting various dealers, no one has them. Unless probably in Tokyo
Like the upgraded damping, but not the stiffer spring rates that comes along with it. Good review stating how the differences between models actually feel for road riding. The standard bike will suit my needs best as I have no intentions of riding an MT on track.
Simon, thanks for an excellent review albeit a quick one. I’ve been waiting for a Bennett’s review to get a feel for real road riding on the MT09 SP as opposed to the other very recent reviews which show skids & Wheelies, which doesn’t really tell us normal bikers a great deal about normal everyday riding. Cheers 👍
I recon with some help from Hepco & Becker or Givi, you could tour on this. Any worries about lack of fuel range? Strap a 1.75gal Rotopax on a tail rack.
Ive ordered one. It was a tough decision as the difference in $ between standard and the sp is significant. In the end, i didnt want to regret not getting the sp. i have the gen 2 sp so i wanted the new one to replace it. Its supposed to arrive this month.
I love mine so far. If you are riding two up, the upgraded suspension is helpful. My wife rides with me periodically and the suspension has worked will with her on the back. It is a little harsh for me going over expansion bumps. I probably would have got it for the color scheme alone.
TO MAKE IT BETTER: 1) Triple cylinder front-brakes; 2) Dual cylinder rear-brakes; 3) 9 in color TFT display with little to no frame (unusable screen space); 4) Optional OEM windscreen; 5) Optional fairing parts (belly-pan, side panels); 6) Backlit handlebar buttons; 7) Textured gel seat; 8) Single-sided swingarm would be a huge bonus. 🙂
I put a deposit down in January in the U.S. they told me by june.. they are saying they haven't heard anything from yamaha. Everyone is getting theirs. I'm wondering if my shop even put the order in on time.. nice review!
Same shit all over the world I am in Estonia. Put my deposit in November, got MT09 SP beginning of August. It's my second order from Yamaha, same was with 2021 version.
SP things that appeal to me the most: Stylema brakes, rear-ABS-off. That's about it. I know for me, I'd upgrade the stock suspension to better stuff than the SP has, with springs that suit my weight, and higher end damping. For most of the stuff I'd be doing on an MT-09, the lower cost model would be plenty honestly. I'd upgrade it over time when I'd gotten completely used to it. More money for ECU flash, exhaust, other stuff.
Good run down on the mt 09 I love the look of these and I love Yamaha and £11,800 I think is a descent price for that maybe I’m wrong wether I’d buy one 🤷♂️ I don’t know would be nice to have along side my rocket gt different style and still loads of fun
Aside from the h2, the Kawasaki zx14 is also a good big bike considering it has all the same functions as a little bike such as throttle, brake, clutch etc. It’s just heavier and faster that’s all..
I’m guessing you’re referring to a magnetic tank bag…I don’t know the answer to that question, but I would recommend going with a Givi TankLok (ring that mounts on the fuel cap fitting). Easy on/off, secure, and no contact with the tank/paint. I’ve been using them on my bikes for many years with no issues experienced.
Was there any comment or explanation as to why the 09 gets the upgraded stylema and keyless ignition but the mt10 doesn’t, given that’s the top of the range?
you can assume because the MT09 is the most popular and most sold bike out of the entire range. The demographic for the 09, being a middle range makes it one of the best bikes on the market.
The previous gen MT09 came year 2021, and the update came this year 2024. This current gen MT10 came 2022, I assume it is going to get the same update next year 2025.
@@photographer-x I don’t deny it. Valid point. But (entirely from a selfish point of view as an MT10 owner looking to upgrade to an SP) it still seems strange to me that the top of the line model is out speced by its leaser model?
I want the fluro yellow with either grey or black. The fluro yellow on the wheels is admittedly a total pain in the ass to keep clean but I just like it.
😂 Sorry, that's all down to me. I've tried rock, rap, disco... nothing seems to 'fit'. All ideas welcome. Meanwhile, have you tried The Midnight? Awesome band.
Love it, 2:21 nice video if only i could get one but now at 73 years Young I don't think so. My best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💭🤔💪👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴
3 weeks with my new SP and it’s by far my favorite bike so far and I have owned a lot of them!
Wasn't going to watch this but then I saw it was presented by Mr S H, so definitely worth the watch. 👍

Still waiting for mine... as I see others have already received theirs. Good lesson in patience!
Hahaha When will they deliver it to you?
@@rubenleon7208 only God knows. every time i ask the dealer they tell me Yamaha tells them nothing
Ditto, got told the 11/8 yesterday 🙏🏻

That was a great review. No bollocks. Just a short cut to the meat.
Is it better than a 1050 Speed Triple R with Ohlins?
If you aim for KTM like seating position..

Tyres, luggage, spares, servicing?
Still love my 2018 SP dual headlight’s look heaps better. 😊
Duel is that fight with pistols, or swords. When there are two, it's dual. :)

Well I do carry a very large knife sometimes 😜.
My mistake corrected lol.
@@jg5930 I shall be careful, not to cross paths with you, then!
That software update is looking a lot like a new R9 is coming.
You cannot tell if Brembos are better than stanard brakes on the road? Wow...
My next SPeee 😅✌️🔥🏁
Cannot find these bikes anywhere near me. No one has them. They have a couple 2023 mt 09 sp. But i want the 2024 models. Just cant get them
I feel you, there are no stores near me who have these bikes. I can't decide between mt09 mt09 sp or xsr900 (youtuber say it's sportier).
Awaiting for the revised XSR900 with bated breath! This thing maybe an awesome bike but it’s no looker….
They just revised the XSR for 2022. Probably not until 2026/7 will we get a refresh. Every 4 years is new body refresh
@@MotoRacoonATX It will get the bigger TFT from that daft way too small 3.5" on the current model and the latest quick shifter.
In about 3 months i'll be applying for a full licence, could you recommend a good large starting bike?
Mt07/tracer7
Sv650
Turbo 'busa
Aside from the h2, the Kawasaki zx14 is also a good big bike considering it has all the same functions as a little bike such as throttle, brake, clutch etc. It’s just heavier and faster that’s all..
Some wise guy beat me to the turbo busa suggestion, but all are just fine ❤
Is this the first Yamaha with Brembos?
I think you must be right. I can't think of another one.
It is mate yes
Thank goodness they have done away with that horrendous Vorlon (Babylon 5 reference) headlight.
1700 for the upgrades seems like a bargain to me
Can you use a tank bag?
Why would you be able to?
Yes. But tank bags are fing ghey
