- Yamaha say 90% of the bike is new but the main question is did they fix the weight distribution woes of the past?

I LOVE the fact that THIS MAN, really can speak in the german language but still has the sense of respect for the rest of the world & for that, I salute you.
I'm new to this channel, so beside seeing the German subtitles, how do you know that he speaks Deutsch?
@@daveinwla6360 I really really like this guy & have been with his channel for quite some time now. I must say, he really does put a lot more effort into this whole TH-cam thing than most other people. As for him knowing other languages, he does reference it throughout some of his videos.
@@rabimunif2078 he's an American living in Germany. I never heard him say he speaks German and I watch Scott for years.
@@Comova79 well... How come he speaks German??? I know that he's not a native
@@rabimunif2078 he doesnt speak it. where did you hear it? and what does it benefit for bike knowledge? if you need any language it should be dutch. not German. ;-)
You are the best reviewer,we get enough time to actually see the bike and no unnecessary music.
I am going for the sp!
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷❤️
This channel is so underrated, really one of the bests.
Great review always honest! Like the numbers chart which you prepare for each bike evaluation. The Yamaha MT 09 2021 looks great in black and what a lovely bike now with the new changes.
Top quality review, like always. Interesting technical information as a bonus; thanks again, Scott!
Really great video Sir! Very informative. Appreciate the shot of you giving an indication your height & inseam while sitting on the bike. This bike hasnt yet reached our shores, so for now this is as good as throwing a leg over for me
Hi Scott, thanks for another informative review. And I really appreciate the new useful comparison chart. One thing that might make the chart better, is to have it in the order you’d rank them. Ie, In the order you’d purchase. I look forward to your next video.
Enjoyed your review, as I always do, thanks Scott.
Another great review......a previous review helped me make a decision on a 2020 gsxs-750, and now this review has given me the confidence to pull the trigger on a 2022 cyan storm mt09.....I pick it up in 4 days.....thanks again for awesome reviews!
You are a treasure sir. No one like you. One of a kind. Why are you not popular enough. 😤 Really enjoy watching your vids sir.
Not my style of bike at all but always a pleasure to watch and listen to your reviews. Thanks
the bike looks very futuristic from the front. btw, awesome review as usual. thank to your previous review of Tiger 900 - proud owner :)
Great review Scott...I'm debating between the MT-07 and this MT-09...You are defiantly one of my go to reviewers for the info....Now just waiting for one to come available in my area...haha
This chap is good. Nice review. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks
Great review ! I’m really considering this as my next bike .
Excellent review as always. Thank you sir
If I already did not own a mt10 I would buy this bike in a heartbeat.
Excellent review. Down to the important. Great. Thanks a lot for that! Nice and simple machine.
Comprehensive and detailed review as always...Stay safe sir and Godbless 🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎
@ 7:05: the front brake calipers are the same as gen 1&2, and they where also radial mount. New on this one is the radial brake master!
Nice review!
Thank you for nice review, one of the best I saw and trust me I saw them all :D. My MT09 will arrive soon.
Just idea with foot/gearbox problem. Maybe it could help to move footsteps higher, because they also move backwards a bit with that.
Grande video, complimenti Scott.
Great review Scott. 👍
This guy always delivers
omg ... im glad i subscribed to his channel
none of the motorcycle reviewers match his level of maturity while considering everything & speaking
Claps to you man...😌
Love from INDIA
I am surprised Scott has 22,000 subs... We all need to spread the word. Best statistics all around. Mellow rider but has control
@@josephmicele1297 yes exactly brother 🙂
Awesome review as always👍
phenomenal review, the pros, and the cons
I am really liking MT-09. I was just wondering if you will doing review on the MT-07 and comparing the two. Love your channel, ride safe.
Great video yet again! Vielen dank
I never heard you speaking german, Scott, aber es war wieder ein nices Video von Dir. Die MT 09 ist sicher eine gute Maschine, besonders wegen des 3 Zylinders, aber das Design der Front ist unsäglich - spricht eher Twens an. The XSR 900 should be updated for us 50+ riders! Mach' weiter so.
Hello Scott, thanks for this video l went and got one same color and l love it
Great review!
Nice Review Scott.
Another quality video. 👍
calipers were always radial mount, its the front brake master pump thats now a nissin radial actuated one
Yamaha does it again! Great review!
You do some good reviews man.
Great reviews on this channel. Please do a Z900 review. How does it compare to this new MT09. I think it was better than the previous gen MT09, but now I am not sure. What do you guys think ?
Thanks a lot for this very interesting video.
Nice review!
Love your canal . Lot off interesting facts and opinions. Are you going to review Yamaha tracer 9 gt 2021? I consider this for my next bike. Like your opinion regarding that bike. Ty for a good job.
Thank you!
Yes, I've already inquired about one several times this year and as soon as I can get my hands on one I'll be on it!
take care,
Scott
Nice review, I'm really curious about the Duke 890 (non R), how it will stack up vs this bike.
I can get past the front look, the tiny TFT is fine I suppose but I'm not at the age where I need glasses. I do think the color options aren't very interesting.
Cheers
Interesting detail you mentioned about how EURO5 allows a certain total level of sound and each manufacture ultimately has to fill that with all the sounds of the bike! So interesting I never knew that about the regulations.
Great sound!
I've ridden the prev gen pretty recently and I noticed the transmission butting up against the right boot at times. So probs the same with this one.
Also 100 percent agree re the rear brake. It's robust and very strong.
Also not sure if you mentioned the lightweight wheels. They are 700g lighter.
awesome review 👏
Thanks for sharing scott..watching from philippines.👍
Great review, as always.
Regarding the front brake calipers, i dont think they are nissin. I think they are the yamaha owned brand, sumitomo.
Only the rear brake caliper is Nissin
Im about to purchase a 21 MT09 so of course watching every review I can find in anticipation. This is one of the best I have seen thus far got a sub from me. And now im curious, I assume you were raised in the US or Canada and live in Germany? If not you have a damn good impression of an American accent lol.
Thank you! Yes, I'm from Michigan and now live in Germany with my German wife :)
Brilliant review 👍👍👍
Nice looking bike but pity about the headlight.
The compact praying mantis headlight seems like a logical progression since naked bikes should be minimalist, and LED headlights don't need to be big, heavy, bug eyes anymore. The projector style also has better performance at night compared to the old style. I'm guessing the new look will grow on people over time since it will be associated with the improved performance of the updated chassis and engine
Excellent video!
I had already made up my mind I would keep my 2019 MT'09.... but this guy convinced me to at least try the 2021.... nice review.
I have 2014 model, no changing for newer one. I upgraded mine too much. Love this bike.
Excellent review - Well done Scott!
Good review! I owned a '19 MT09 and liked it a lot except for that "nervousness" factor especially in long higher speed corners. The previous "hypermotard" steering head height does seem to have been the culprit and I suspect the new '21 SP version with its revisions might be the best bang-for-the-buck in the upper mid class of nakeds.
Thank you! Yea, they fixed it, I specifically went out with this in mind when I rode it, to see for myself if it's fixed and YES, finally they found and fixed the problem. Now this (the SP version) is a contender in the high performance middleweight naked group.
ride safe,
Scott
Nice review Scott. I believe the internals of the suspension have also been updated. Yamaha have done a great job of updating this bike. However the TFT is way too small like you said [I wear glasses and still find it too small] and the front headlight assembly is not that attractive. Great motor though and with the new frame it handles like it always should have done. The SP is the one I would go for if it was my money. Any chance of a review on the Kawi Z900? Take care and ride safe.
Thank you. Yea, I'll try to do a Z900 this summer 👍😁
I've been on a demo with the base and SP model both. I also own the previous gen. Agreed with most everything you've said and I do believe the updated model is drastically better. Immediately I noticed the chassis stability, poise, and communication from the wheels even before leaving the parking lot.
Two things: Yamaha, please give us a decent sized TFT that you can read in bright sun, dust, etc. and doesn't scratch; Yamaha, give us a 17L fuel capacity.
Agree on both points, even a couple more litres fuel tank would be appreciated and that small super scratchy TFT..
@@hiddendragon415 Z900 runs 4.5 gals (3 liters more) and GSX-S1000 runs 5.0 gals (5 liters more). So yeah. haha
@@exothermal.sprocket but the range on z900 is not alot more, it consumes more fuel
@@yosefm170 Z900---
4.5 gal tank (43 mpg)
155 miles to fuel light
193 miles to dry
MT-09
3.7 gal tank (47 mpg)
131 miles to fuel light
174 miles to dry
I love the new styling, except I'm on the fence with the headlight. A good looking naked bike needs an esthetically pleasing frame, this bike has that in spades. Add Yamaha's industry leading reliability into the NTP chart and this bike is a clear winner, if it wasn't already.
Hopefully you will be able to throw a leg over the SP for an upcoming review Scott.
I own a 2017 MTO9 in black,I personally favour it a lot more over this bike,looks etc,but that’s just my personal opinion! The transmission sticking out that far on the right would irritate me,good vid 👍🏻
It would be helpful to create a power-to-weight ratio on your performance chart to rank bikes. Thanks for the review, this bike in the SP spec is starting to appeal to me. Given how thirsty a lot of the liter bikes have become, I’m paying more attention to the mpg of these offerings as well as performance.
Thanks for a helpful review. Please comment on riding comfort (aside from transmission protrusion). Also, how does this compare with BMW R1250R….much less costly for sure but in absolute terms which is nicer to ride?
I did a testride today on the 2021 Tracer 9 and have now ordered a Tracer 9 GT. I hope it will be delievered soon :-)
Damn, have yet to find one here in the States. Any thoughts to share?
Great bike, good choice!
Wtf this video is about mt-09 not tracer 9 shut your pie hole goofy
I really love how this bike does not have a useless exhaust running length of the bike and adding weight across the side
Tucking it under the bike like that also lowers center of gravity
This bike a real Hit, except I have to say that electronics display is pretty weak compared to the competition.
But it's certainly reflected in the price as this bike is the performance for value winner
It's a great bike thanks for the video
In this video I liked the jeans you were wearing. What brand are they? I hope to have my 2021 MT-09 in a few weeks. Thanks for your reviews. They've helped me.
Thank you. The jeans are Trilobite Agnox.
Good test👍🏻
that is one nice looking bike Yamaha put alot of thought into that bike
Awesome video, thanks! How is it driving on highways? High wind noise ? I have a sv1000n 2007 now, and maybe I wanna change it to the new Mt09 😁😊
Typical naked, no wind protection at all.
When I was test riding the previous version I had the issue with my shin hitting the clutch cover. It's more pronounced with high boots. The bike is one of my favorites though. I bought an F900R last year, but if I had to do this now, I would go for the MT-09.
Very good looking bike.
Great job with the review. What is your country you're making this footage from, Germany?
yeppers!
Any plans reviewing the new Ducati Monster? Pretty much monster or mt 09, can’t decide!
Forged wheels are why it's feels so light. Good review.
700g less. Yes, thank you.
Excellent review. Heck ya stand up to those numbers they are the most accurate example on the web Period. Please, your thought on seat comfort?
Thank you!
The seat is the same as previous, just higher, nice and wide and soft enough to do some longer day rides no problem. But there are plenty of after-market seats to pad the rear even more if you like :)
take care,
Scott
thanx Scott appreciate info
@@NothingToProve I mentioned seat cuz i had few min mt09sp seat, Very nice
Hello Scott.
The new MT-09 might be the better bike considering her predecessors.
But I think they looked way better. Especially the front light!
Take care Scott and stay healthy 👍
Love the video and the chart 😂😂
I agree on that.
Really good bike but even better review
Love your reviews, if possible if you can do an FJR 1300 review & compare to sports tourers of today since it’s sort of a dinosaur, or is it?
Thank you.
I tried several times last year to ride one but to no avail. If one becomes available this year, I'll do it 😁👍 (Just FYI, big sport touring bikes don't sell so well here in Germany, so my options here are very limited)
Take care,
Scott
Beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beeholder , I don't like the Yamaha Mt front lights but I love the new GSX-S 1000 front lights go figure. 🤔🤔🤔 I wish Yamaha still had the night fluro colour it was a large part of why a bought a MT09.
Awesome review! What jacket, riding jeans and boots are you wearing? Please share links. Thank you!
Thank you.
Those are: Jacket by Rukka, pants by Trilobite Agnox, boots Alpinestars.
4:22 I couldn't agree more, Euro5 gave us more power, more torque, cleaner emissions, and updated designs across the board. I am very grateful for the Euro5 update, looking forward to Euro6!
And a lot less bikes to choose from :)
Scott, Thank you for very pleasant, informative and helpful video, please keep it up. ???; 2021 street triple rs or 2021 Yam mt -09 (sp or base) which would you choose,
Oh, tough one. Well, they are so close in performance ( RS vs. SP), so I'd have to go by looks and take the RS :)
@@NothingToProve Thank you. I have a striple rs and like it a lot. But seeing your review and others describing the mt 09 in such glowing terms - some others have called it a striple killer - makes me wonder if I should make the change. And I like the looks of the 09, sp or base model.
Great videos! New fan! Saw your other video about bmw s1000r. I’m currently in the market to get a bike and a 2019 s1000r with some mods and 8.5k miles is on my list. Along with a 2022 MT-09(brand new) price would be the same but im questioning my decision based on what I want and what I need. I have a commute of 30 miles to and back from work. So cruise control would be nice.I know the bmw has that and for Yamaha the so would have that but none are available anymore. Rider aids are almost the same but not sure if bmw does a better job than Yamaha vice versa. In your experience and based off of this bit of information what would you buy?
Well, in my experience BMW electronics are way better, not as intrusive and makes you feel like a great rider but it's the electronics that are working you just don't feel them working and fixing the riders mistakes. Whereas the MT09 you feel them kicking in and doing their job. The R has way more power too, and will do circles around the 09 in a corner, so it really depends on what you want, performance or less. But you have to remember they are in two different groups. Supernaked and middleweight. So it's really not fair to compare the 09 to the R and this is why the R is more expensive. The 09 sounds better imho :)
take care,
Scott
@@NothingToProve thank you Scott! I do appreciate the speedy response. I owned a fz-07 for 3-4 years clocked about 40k miles so anything is an upgrade from there. I trust Yamaha but obviously the bmw is the bigger more premium bike. Going to reach out to Yamaha dealers and see if I can test ride a 09. The lighter weight is more appealing to me so I’m naturally leaning towards the 09. I’ll comment back to update.
Love my MT09. A great platform to then modify. A great all round bike and very reliable despite all the mods including modified engine. 👍
THAT HEAD LIGHT I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH
In person the bike ( also the light) looks way better then in videos/photos. Believe me ... :)
@@sileniu I HAVE 20 BUT I DO LIKE THE CHANGES AND I WILL LOOK FOR IT IN PERSON
Great Review.. I was just looking on the Yamaha Web site last night .. I already knew about the Ligher Aluminum Frame .. knew about the longer engine stroke.. So many Reviews and no one else told about the changes in the steering head location..
All the Same the Tracer GT suits my needs more and that model seems to have a 2" loswer seat heaight now and I am very short.. so that's a huge plus for me.. Cant' figure out why Yamaha USA web site shows the 2021 Tracer GT weaight going up over previous years..
Also what 6% Fuel milage increase? The MPG was a bit low on the MT-09 compared to the MT-07 Engines with a londer stroke and lower RPP power range tend to get better mpg. I read they made improvents to the fuel injection too for those gains.. in better fuel economy ..
That's a nope on seat heights. Both the MT and GT are no country for 29-30" inseams! The new MT went up .2" and the GT down .2"...that's Point 2"! New MT:32.5", new GT probably 33.5"... tiptoes for me...tired of mounting/dismounting too tall road bikes.
The wheels are lighter too and contribute to improved handling characteristics.
Hi Scott, could you please do a review on the 2021 Tracer 9 GT and compared to your F900XR verbally? Want to hear your view. Thanks and stay safe!
Yea, I'd like to do one as soon as one becomes available I'll be one it.
take care,
Scott
Another great review Scott , thank you. Some say the 2020-21 Z900’s are still better than the new MT09 , even with the quick shifter on the MT09...thoughts on this ?
Thank you. I don't know, I've only been on the 900RS and not the Z900, so I can't really say. I'll try to change that this summer 😁
@@NothingToProve Haha right on , I’m holding you to it chief.
@@jayrock497 Ok, ok, I just made an appointment to ride the Z900 next week! All because you put it in my head! 👍😁
@@NothingToProve Really , that’s awesome !!! I’m stoked to see it 😜 🤙🏼 😃.
I'm still wondering either to buy this mt09 2021 or suzuki gsx s750? Can u help me to figure out from you point of view mate?
they could just bolt the screen right on top of the bars make it closer
sir please do a z900 2021 review
I want the SP. Gotta have my cruise control!
Would love to see you ride the 2020+ z900 as well. Ide like to see your comparison between it and this new mt-09
I was supposed to shoot that video today but instead I'm home typing in comments because of rain & thunder storms 😢😢
@@NothingToProve I know that feeling! I’ve been rained out for a week 😭
Hi Scott Can you do New tracer 9 review.. hello from Greece!!
Yes! That is on my "to do list" but waiting for it to come in...sigh.
take care,
Scott
Hey guys, any idea whether the speedo is showing km/h or mph?
Me again Scott, This or Triumph Street Triple RS? I own a 2020 RS currently. Thanks again, Eric
This is good but keep your RS, the RS has some soul, this does not. :)
@@NothingToProve I do love my RS
I am considering trading my F900R on this model. I liked your review on both bikes. What is your opinion between the two?
it just depends on what you want. Motor and weight are better on this, the BMW is better at everything else. Electronics, connectivity, suspension, brakes, display...etc.
take care,
Scott
@@NothingToProve thanks! I value your opinion. Your reviews are always great
Would you choose this over the BMW F900R? Thank you for your work.
Oh, that is a tough one. I love the triple motor sooooo much more but the looks of the 900R is soooo much better than this. And the BMW electronics are levels above this...hmm.... I really don't know! :(
Curious to see what Yamaha does with the MT-10 to top this nicely equipped & reasonably priced MT-09.
Yea me too, hopefully soon cause it's past time for them to update it. 👍
What do u think about KTM 890 Duke R? İs it better than MT 09 ?
I am thinking of the F 900 XR or this bike. You bought the 900, can you tell us why??? Thank you
Well, I wanted a sport touring bike and not a naked. It's that simple. Do trips, wind protection, hard luggage...etc.
ride safe,
Scott
Is this enough good bike for two people for traveling?
Thanks a lot✌️
That's really really comfortable with MT09 bro
