Definitely pull the trigger. My MT09 makes me feel like a kid, I am a complete idiot on it and I love it. I keep my wheel down as much as I can though, which isn't really as hard as people make it seem.... unexpected wheelies can lead to problems. Its possible to have fun on this bike, but also minimizing risk. The rider finds that balance, not the bike.
I agree with God father Yam here. I bought an MT09 as my fist bike, and I've been riding dirt bikes since I was about 5 or 6 years old. I've ridden a 50cc dirt bike up to a 500cc dirt bike. I thought "Hey I could handle an mt09 no probs." But boiyo I was in for a treat. The only reason I would say it's a bad choice for a beginner bike is cause of the bottom end tourque. It creeps up on ya faster then Jason creeps up on a group of college girls. While there's settings on it to adjust the throttle response and what not, you are not gonna keep this baby from being a unicycle at any point in time. You hear alot of people say its a tourque monster and they are not lying. Im about ready to just throw out my from wheele all together cause I barely use it.
I talked to my mechanic about mine I asked "It used to wheelie all the time but now I crack the throttle and it stays down" That bikes as fast as it ever was. Thats your self preservation instinct. You are leaning forward... Listen to it and stay alive.
@@Libadergiotis First off you don't drive bicycles, you RIDE them. From that statement alone its clear to me you have never actually rode a motorcycle. Let alone know anything about them. Second have you ever ridden and MT09? Do you even know what the MT stands for? I'm not sure if you're trying to insult anyone here but from the statement you made, you just made yourself sound like an idiot.
I bought a 2020 MT09 back in March, This bike is not as fast or torque monster like everyone says, If you ever rode a 450 dirt bike you will be disappointed in this bike. Every review I watched before buying it was like "Wheelie all the time" bull shit!! I can full throttle in 2nd without pulling the front wheel unless yanking back. and cant get it to pull the tire in 3rd without clutch up. Also tops out at 134 MPH. As far as maintenance goes- this bike is amazing can change the oil in 5 min. I really love this bike its just not nearly as powerful as I was hoping
@@adamknight2623 Try putting it in A mode not keeping it in B mode and you have to turn off the traction control or it will purposely bog the engine down so you won't flip it over backwards. Get a little hair on your chest and let the baby rip and you'll see what it can ACTUALLY do. If you're gonna sit there an putts around on it and not let the engine do what it was made to do, you will be disappointed. Thats not the bikes fault tho. You just have to have be able to Crack the throttle and let that ol gurl sing.
Yammie I swung my leg over my first bike since I was Court order not to own or operate a motorcycle till I was 21 when I was 8 and a dirt bike brat. I'm 45 now and decided it was time to learn something I promised myself I do when I grew up, still have a lite hoodlum in me but I'm older and have slowed down a little and it was fun even if it was in the parking lot for a couple of hours practicing friction zone, taking off, stopping and turning.

Thank you for your videos, I love watching them and they have inspired me to get back out there

I own a xsr900 and my wife has a street triple and she got hers for cheaper. After riding both I think it’s fair to say that the street triple feels a lot better and it’s built better... however my xsr900 is more fun to ride. I’ve taught some people the basics on that bike and when it’s in B mode it’s not crazy. But I do see how someone who is learning by themselves could get into a bit of trouble. It’s all on the rider and how they learn and how invested they are into perfecting there riding technique. Take a riding class or work with someone who has... it’s only going to benefit you in the end!
I bought one about the same time as you! Had it about 2 months now. I LOVE IT. Too bad they just released a new 9 yesterday and pretty sure an all new 10 is coming out for 2021. Should have waited!!
I just got an MT09, is my first bike and also I’m learning how to ride on that bike. I feel scared all the time but I have a strong discipline and I respect the fact that I am just a new rider. I take the bike after work every single day about 8:30pm to 9pm where the sunset is on point. I’m getting more confident day by day, is my third week but I have never send it like I do in my 11th gen Si. 😂 One thing I have to say: I feel embarrassed when people look at me on a tragic light and after I start moving all shaky trying not to fall they look again like “why are you on that monster😒” however I enjoy it 😂 Confidence it’s a double edged sword, as soon I start feeling over confident I just go back home and chill. I’ve realize that sometimes I’m shaking 🫨 so yeah… a lot of self control. Not a beginner bike.
@@yammienoob I do not like that bloke one bit. I have lost count how many times he has said not to buy a particular motorcycle, then within a few months he goes and buys that motorcycle he said not to buy.
I just think his YZF450 has spoiled and ruined him too much. How else do you get to the point that you call a 420 lbs 115hp bike a heavy bike that's only good for cruising? Lol
2020 MT-09 owner here, overall I love the bike and would recommend it. However I would recommend to Yamaha, it REALLY REALLY needs cruise control in the USA. I also think they should by standard come with some type of mini windshield so it deflects the wind a bit so it doesn't hit my chest creating drag/resistance. Also I find the seats unbearable for long rides even with the MT-09 comfort seat upgrade. I will soon upgrade to a saddleman but little disappointed I have to spend 500 for a saddleman seat. Coming from person who only ridden 2007 GSXR for 10 years and then this, OMG the torque is awesome and makes city commuting bearable. Anyways over all this bike is awesome but this is coming from a person who really only ridden two types of motorcycle.
Even tho its better its still very flawed and in some cases i would say dangerous, i have ridden the 2019 mt09 on good rubber with correct suspention setting & SAG and the bike was unstable while doing more than 170 km/h in straight line and in fast corrners (110km/h) with high lean it was more than unstable. I loved the engine and the ergos (and the price ofc) but i knew this would end badly. The bike works great unless you start pushing it hard. Today with things like the 790 duke or the new street triple R with full electronics and great suspention its hard to choose the mt 09 even if its a bit cheaper...
2019 MT09 owner here, first bike at that. Now with that said I would've did things differently a second time around and went with a less powerful bike.
Yeah, it's just like an anxiety attack all the time. A less powerful bike is more fun when learning, plus they're cheaper so you aren't afraid to drop them as much.
After my first bike which was a MT07 for 2 Years A2 I now own a MT09SP since oktober 2019 and I love it so much character and the Suspension is so good
As a 2019 MT-09 owner, for about 4 months and 7k miles, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a rider in the market. The 2.7 second 0-60 is an unbeatable feeling at a manageable price.
@@Tonyx.yt. true, got one, had to chang both, and still the bike is realy scary at the acceleration. (and scary in a bad way, you dont feel in control of the front). It's a realy good engine but with poor engineering around it.
@@Benxley-m1n The MT09 is like an American muscle car. Just a whole lot of engine and not much else, just the basics to hurl you into all kinds of trouble lol.
Yammie, I ride a 1979 ,1000 cc plus Harley Davidson Sportster, 800 miles! Now the fun! 11.5 foot hard tail ! Easy Rider tribute chopper! Only bike I've ever rode! And a handful of pain! Love your videos!
I was really close to picking up a FZ-09, but after doing some research it came across as too much of a hooligan bike. I wanted something with power and handling, but was still tourable. Ended up grabbing a FZ1 Gen 2. Changed out the sprockets, put an R6 throttle tube on, and flashed the ECU. It's now nicely schizophrenic depending on where you are in the RPM range.
Wanted fz09 to upgrade after the fz07 but got the fj09(Tracer 900) instead because frickin highway commute to work. The engine is amazing it puts a smile on my face everyday.
As someone that got a GSXS750 last year, I have been thinking of the MT09 obsessively since then. The lack of low end on the GSXS is brutal, and as a city rider it was probably the worst motorcycle decision I’ve made, and my first bike was a KLR250 that barely ran.
Have the 2017 MT09 (UK) model, pros - it's awesome, I commute every day and it's great whatever the weather done 27k miles. Cons went through 2 starter solenoids, 1 starter switch, and a side stand cut off switch in the first 2 years. The controls are cheap and nasty and the horn button is in completely the worst place ever, my thumbs aren't 5" long! Would I recommend? hell yeah!
i agree i have 25 motorcycles over the years its fun , light , plenty of power and has a very light front end that give accidental wheelstands now and again lol
Can confirm 2014 Mt09 throttle... good motor but not sure what they did to connect it to the throttle. Hopefully the newer ones they fixed it. And the suspension.
Love my 2018 MT-09, I started on it as MY first bike but I've been on dirtbikes for 20 plus years and had my endorsement for over 10 years just riding family and friends bikes and finally bought one of my own. 100% agree that I love yamaha engine character across the board that's why I bought it.
I switched from a Harley Sportster 1200 (my first bike) to an MT-09. It was quite the learning curve, but about a year after getting the MT, I finally feel like I'm understanding the bike much better. I agree that it would not be responsible to get one for your first bike. But who am I, just some random dude on the internet who's name is cooked bread. Preach, Papa Yam.
i dont really like hondas 35kw 500ccm bikes in general... i made my A2- bike decision between fz07 and cbr 500r and i think my decision for fz07 really is the best one i ever could have made.
@@angolischesilberruckenmowi246 In terms of going from an A1 to an A2, I can totally get that. I don't think I'd pick the 500 series of bikes if I was on the tiered system either. I'm in Canada though, which is like the US in terms of licensing. As a first bike, which was my case, I think they make much more sense. Has enough punch to not get bored immediately (this year is my 3rd year with my 500R), but still friendly enough to not get yourself yeeted off into the sun. I know Honda made that engine for the tiered licensing system in Europe to accommodate the A2 tier, but I feel they have more use here in North America as friendly yet still fun and punchy first bikes that one won't immediately get bored of in the first 2 months.
@@Gofr5 yep, cbr 500r does really make sense for you i guess. dont understand me wrong, the honda is a fuckin great bike, i just decided to took the fz becauce im able to drive it with 75hps (which really is enough for first two years with unrestricted license in my opinion) and i dont want to buy a third bike when im 21 because i dont have got the money for that. always ride safe and have fun with your beautiful cbr my friend!
I’m still pretty new to the riding world, I haven’t had a chance to ride the mt09 but I have rode around on his taller brother the Tracer 900GT and those bikes are bad ass... but not the best beginner bikes so I said screw it and got the bolt which is also a damn good bike.. Yamaha bikes are just so damn awesome
Thought of getting one as my first bike. I was riding a MT-07 in driving school, so it’s just a natural step up, right? However, I never really liked the MT-07, partly because the on/off throttle response in gears 1-3. Pair that with more power and torque? Just no. Thankfully Papa Yam recommended the SV650 often enough! As soon as I jumped on that bike for a test ride I felt right at home! It put a huge smile on my face. Signed the sales contract for my own one just yesterday!
Yeah, the SV650 is basically the perfect middleweight. Gotta say though, *not* a great first bike. That still has a ton of power and torque for what it is. Please please please take it slow and practice in parking lots as much as possible so you can keep riding for years to come.
@@jonathanesqueda3452 It's an amazing bike, and I had one and loved it to death (literally, it was totaled in a wreck that I had no control over). But it's certainly a bit too powerful and heavy for someone that's never ridden much before. That power to weight ratio is like having a 500HP car at around 3000lbs weight. Would that be appropriate for a new driver? Now couple that with the immensely different skill set and higher risk that comes with a motorcycle in general.
@@Cheezmonka i can see your point but if they have done the msf course its totally fine but tbh i really have no place to talk, my first street bike was an r6 that i bought at 15, im 16 now and havent dropped or crashed it. Ive had it for about 8 months and i had like 6 months of dirt bike experience so the r6 wasnt too powerfull at all could be because all the power is at the top end so whenever i do want that i just drop a gear and twist the throttle
@@jonathanesqueda3452 Ah, gotcha. Well, all I ask is that y'all study and practice, always. Even veteran and expert riders should do meaningful and focused practice often. Check out some of the other channels like Motojitsu and McRider to learn some stuff that may not be taught in the basic rider courses. Just tryna keep everyone a little safer.
After 4 years of a cbr 125, 1 year of a virago 535 and just bought my mt07 a couple of months ago, i tell you something, the progressive evolution of power is the way to go! i just feel sorry when my friend who just got his A license wanting to go directly to a mt09. The guy doesn't know what his getting into
I've been watching your videos for the past year before I've decided to buy my own Motorcycle. Guess what, I've got a Yamaha Mt09. Despite you saying MT07 is better, I still got the Yamaha Mt09 as my first bike! FIRST BIG BIKE! oh, I own an XC Bicycle Trail Bicycle, and a Scooter 125cc at only 1800kms. I consider myself a beginner rider but still, I got the Yamaha MT09. I've been following all of your advise tho. Thanks for your videos. They also inspired me to start Vlogging. Hahaha.
Hey Yami, newly endorsed motorcycle rider here and I have to say, thank you for all your beginner bike videos. They have helped me so much in my search for my first bike. I’m proud to tell you that you’ve helped and lead me to purchase a Turbo Busa with Hentai graphics. Thank you! ❤️
I bought a 2014 FZ09 last month, after riding a R3 for a year. "Luckily", the prev owner haven't done the throttle remap, so I can test it. Every millimeters of the throttle matters lol. I didn't even use standard mode for commuting. After the dealer remaps the throttle, it smooth out a lot. I never did any unwanted wheelie. So if you smooth out your throttle at start, you will be fine. The down side of this bike is the fuel tank is a bit small for triple-cylinder imo. It will get quite hot to your leg under the sun (maybe I was upgrade from a 2-cylinder fairing to 3-cylinder naked). BTW, I am 5'5 so I have a difficulty to walk the bike backward, but otherwise is okay.
I have had the 2015 FZO9 for 3 seasons now. I'm 52 and have ridden the old 1977 - 1980 KZ'S and Suzuki gs850 1982 . Dirt bikes etc.. but yes this pulls harder than any I've rode. Light weight and tons of torque. Yes if you even hit a bump in the road and your hand twists a fraction the throttle pulls. I never did wheelies on street bike until this one. Not big long ones but HUNDREDS of them. Experience helps. Respect this bike or it bites
Tha'ts the bike I want for the 3rd bike...maybe 4th...also. Did you get yours yet? How you like it? Cant' wait to get mine! I looked at the BMW F900 XR pretty hard too but, going with the Tracer now.
@@kee7678 yeha have it for just over a month now. I looked at the BMW too, but didn't try it. Different price range too, the Tracer just delivers more value. I tried the Tiger 900,beautiful bike but I actually preferred the Tracer and Triumph was also more pricey. Over the moon with the Tracer, already did a 3 day tour in Wales, great for touring, amazing engine that'll make you giggle anytime you want, comfortable, sporty and nimble as hell. Great upgrade!
@@HellRyder18 Congrats and good to hear!! Are you doing any mods to it at all? I"ll probably put a touring screen on it, another power USB/outlet, eng guards and a top box.
@@kee7678 of course, Givi engine protection arrived today, will probably install over weekend. Also need to install front led turning signals (oxford nightrider), will do rear ones later. Got the yamaha official 50L top box and rack too. Will deffo get an exhaust maybe a cheaper option like Scorpion, Black Widow, or Delkevic (all half the price of Akra). After that, maybe a different screen? But I don't hate on the stock one. Oh and some better tyres when these stock ones wear out.
Love my 2017 but the ABS light randomly starts flashing after a quicker than usual stop. The ABS system isn’t engaging, I’ve had that happen once for the rear brake.
The 2016 MT09 has the old style headlight but features traction control and ABS (at least in the UK) im pretty sure the throttle response on it is more refined than the earlier model. If you are going second hand and like the older styling try and aim for a 2016 as youll get features from both although it does still lack the fully adjustable suspension. I own this year and believe it to be a good compromise although ive swapped out the springs and shock for something that wasnt designed for a monster truck :D
I’ve ridden liter bikes, mt10, mt07, and I’ve yet to find a more fun bike than an mt09. With a full system and tune and upgraded suspension, there is no more smiles per miles than an mt09
If you keep it in b mode and traction control 2 it’s just a normal motorcycle if you have self control this could make a great beginner bike and one you wouldn’t have to replace for a long time
I am old...63, and cut my teeth on motocross bikes and vintage brit bikes. . . And im thinking about tge mt09 or cb1000r cuz i wanna have some sporty fun w/o the clip ons and crappy foot position...think I might be happy with the yammie?
Will the BMW F900R ever be on your radar? I picked one up lately. Its base price is $4 less than an MT09 and offers quite a lot, and a longer warranty.
I started on a fz09 and I'm fine... I do just fine on my fz09.. I do real good and I do wheelies everywhere with it!! Seriously though, it wasn't too difficult to start out on. The bike is very capable, but respect it and you will survive
I test rode a 2020 MT-09 at a local demo day and wow, coming from a 2004 R6, I couldn't get used to the throttle at all. The MT was jittery and twitchy and way too responsive. And that was how it felt after being tuned down from earlier models? I can't imagine how twitchy the earlier models were.

I’m getting more confident day by day, is my third week but I have never send it like I do in my 11th gen Si. 😂
One thing I have to say: I feel embarrassed when people look at me on a tragic light and after I start moving all shaky trying not to fall they look again like “why are you on that monster😒” however I enjoy it 😂
Confidence it’s a double edged sword, as soon I start feeling over confident I just go back home and chill. I’ve realize that sometimes I’m shaking 🫨 so yeah… a lot of self control. Not a beginner bike.

Cycle Cruza has bad opinions about almost everything
@@yammienoob FACTS
@@yammienoob I do not like that bloke one bit. I have lost count how many times he has said not to buy a particular motorcycle, then within a few months he goes and buys that motorcycle he said not to buy.
I just think his YZF450 has spoiled and ruined him too much. How else do you get to the point that you call a 420 lbs 115hp bike a heavy bike that's only good for cruising? Lol
I want to see a show a la The Grand Tour with Yammie Noob, Cycle Cruza, and Hammy Moto. One can dream right?
Tfw when u found a motorcycle channel run by a man of culture
Yammie is scared of the mt09
First gen Fz-09 also has ride modes A-track; STD; b-rain. XSR900 also had slipper clutch from the get-go.
A little over 10,000 miles on my mt09. Wouldn’t ever recommend for a first bike. Loved every mile
2020 MT-09 owner here, overall I love the bike and would recommend it. However I would recommend to Yamaha, it REALLY REALLY needs cruise control in the USA. I also think they should by standard come with some type of mini windshield so it deflects the wind a bit so it doesn't hit my chest creating drag/resistance. Also I find the seats unbearable for long rides even with the MT-09 comfort seat upgrade. I will soon upgrade to a saddleman but little disappointed I have to spend 500 for a saddleman seat. Coming from person who only ridden 2007 GSXR for 10 years and then this, OMG the torque is awesome and makes city commuting bearable. Anyways over all this bike is awesome but this is coming from a person who really only ridden two types of motorcycle.
Just bought my 2020 today, melts your face everywhere.
2019 MT-09 throttle is waaay better. How do I know? I own one... oh and btw, the suspension is better also.
True, just got a 2019 SP version myself :)
Even tho its better its still very flawed and in some cases i would say dangerous, i have ridden the 2019 mt09 on good rubber with correct suspention setting & SAG and the bike was unstable while doing more than 170 km/h in straight line and in fast corrners (110km/h) with high lean it was more than unstable. I loved the engine and the ergos (and the price ofc) but i knew this would end badly. The bike works great unless you start pushing it hard. Today with things like the 790 duke or the new street triple R with full electronics and great suspention its hard to choose the mt 09 even if its a bit cheaper...
And now the 2021 09 makes the rest look like garbage tech-wise. The front end on the 2021 is ugly AF though
When did the suspension get redone. 2018 or 2019?
@@gavinpaterson3658 2017 I think
Rode a grom for a year and traded it in for an 09
Thank god I’m alive
How did you perform on the bike tho? Did you struggle
@@jacobmarquez4638 not really - I just took my time and left it in B mode for months
2019 MT09 owner here, first bike at that. Now with that said I would've did things differently a second time around and went with a less powerful bike.
Yeah, it's just like an anxiety attack all the time. A less powerful bike is more fun when learning, plus they're cheaper so you aren't afraid to drop them as much.
I have been looking into getting one of these over the last few weeks. This is a sign.
my friend bought an fz09 for his first bike, did a power wheelie and crashed it after 3 week of owning the bike
yet im 64 ride like a hoon and manage to keep it upright lol
After my first bike which was a MT07 for 2 Years A2 I now own a MT09SP since oktober 2019 and I love it so much character and the Suspension is so good
I started on a 2016 fz-09 on my first bike, loved it
As a 2019 MT-09 owner, for about 4 months and 7k miles, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a rider in the market. The 2.7 second 0-60 is an unbeatable feeling at a manageable price.
too bad mt09 suspension are pathetic and unsafe
@@Tonyx.yt. true, got one, had to chang both, and still the bike is realy scary at the acceleration. (and scary in a bad way, you dont feel in control of the front). It's a realy good engine but with poor engineering around it.
@@Benxley-m1n with similar price and power i prefer by far bikes like z900 and suzuki 750, both them with decent stock suspension
@@Benxley-m1n The MT09 is like an American muscle car. Just a whole lot of engine and not much else, just the basics to hurl you into all kinds of trouble lol.
"why does he talk so fast?" ive got u on 1.5x speed cause i just don't have time to watch videos all day!
Getting one in about a month. Excited!
Yammie, I ride a 1979 ,1000 cc plus Harley Davidson Sportster, 800 miles! Now the fun! 11.5 foot hard tail ! Easy Rider tribute chopper! Only bike I've ever rode! And a handful of pain! Love your videos!
I was really close to picking up a FZ-09, but after doing some research it came across as too much of a hooligan bike. I wanted something with power and handling, but was still tourable. Ended up grabbing a FZ1 Gen 2. Changed out the sprockets, put an R6 throttle tube on, and flashed the ECU. It's now nicely schizophrenic depending on where you are in the RPM range.
So being able to hold wheelies at balance point is squitting now?😂😂😂
Wanted fz09 to upgrade after the fz07 but got the fj09(Tracer 900) instead because frickin highway commute to work. The engine is amazing it puts a smile on my face everyday.
You make the best content bro y’all are the 🐐s
As someone that got a GSXS750 last year, I have been thinking of the MT09 obsessively since then. The lack of low end on the GSXS is brutal, and as a city rider it was probably the worst motorcycle decision I’ve made, and my first bike was a KLR250 that barely ran.
Have the 2017 MT09 (UK) model, pros - it's awesome, I commute every day and it's great whatever the weather done 27k miles. Cons went through 2 starter solenoids, 1 starter switch, and a side stand cut off switch in the first 2 years. The controls are cheap and nasty and the horn button is in completely the worst place ever, my thumbs aren't 5" long! Would I recommend? hell yeah!
i agree i have 25 motorcycles over the years its fun , light , plenty of power and has a very light front end that give accidental wheelstands now and again lol
Can confirm 2014 Mt09 throttle... good motor but not sure what they did to connect it to the throttle. Hopefully the newer ones they fixed it. And the suspension.
Love my 2018 MT-09, I started on it as MY first bike but I've been on dirtbikes for 20 plus years and had my endorsement for over 10 years just riding family and friends bikes and finally bought one of my own. 100% agree that I love yamaha engine character across the board that's why I bought it.
I switched from a Harley Sportster 1200 (my first bike) to an MT-09. It was quite the learning curve, but about a year after getting the MT, I finally feel like I'm understanding the bike much better. I agree that it would not be responsible to get one for your first bike. But who am I, just some random dude on the internet who's name is cooked bread. Preach, Papa Yam.
Nice video, would you be able to do one of these about the KTM 790 Duke I'm thinking of getting one
I love my MT-09 and I love you Hammie Lube!
Another sweet bike vid. And then you should do a review on a CBR 500r cuz I like
I know for a fact that Spite likes the 500R as it's the only beginner friendly sportbike he's tried that actually fits him. lol
i dont really like hondas 35kw 500ccm bikes in general... i made my A2- bike decision between fz07 and cbr 500r and i think my decision for fz07 really is the best one i ever could have made.
@@angolischesilberruckenmowi246 In terms of going from an A1 to an A2, I can totally get that. I don't think I'd pick the 500 series of bikes if I was on the tiered system either. I'm in Canada though, which is like the US in terms of licensing. As a first bike, which was my case, I think they make much more sense. Has enough punch to not get bored immediately (this year is my 3rd year with my 500R), but still friendly enough to not get yourself yeeted off into the sun. I know Honda made that engine for the tiered licensing system in Europe to accommodate the A2 tier, but I feel they have more use here in North America as friendly yet still fun and punchy first bikes that one won't immediately get bored of in the first 2 months.
@@Gofr5 yep, cbr 500r does really make sense for you i guess. dont understand me wrong, the honda is a fuckin great bike, i just decided to took the fz becauce im able to drive it with 75hps (which really is enough for first two years with unrestricted license in my opinion) and i dont want to buy a third bike when im 21 because i dont have got the money for that. always ride safe and have fun with your beautiful cbr my friend!

Yo @Yammie Noob Can you do a Tracer 900GT review?
I’m still pretty new to the riding world, I haven’t had a chance to ride the mt09 but I have rode around on his taller brother the Tracer 900GT and those bikes are bad ass... but not the best beginner bikes so I said screw it and got the bolt which is also a damn good bike.. Yamaha bikes are just so damn awesome
The mt10 thumbnail triggers me 🤣
Sometimes we get it wrong 🙃
@@yammienoob All good Papa Yam
Thought of getting one as my first bike. I was riding a MT-07 in driving school, so it’s just a natural step up, right?
However, I never really liked the MT-07, partly because the on/off throttle response in gears 1-3. Pair that with more power and torque? Just no.
Thankfully Papa Yam recommended the SV650 often enough! As soon as I jumped on that bike for a test ride I felt right at home! It put a huge smile on my face.
Signed the sales contract for my own one just yesterday!
Yeah, the SV650 is basically the perfect middleweight. Gotta say though, *not* a great first bike. That still has a ton of power and torque for what it is. Please please please take it slow and practice in parking lots as much as possible so you can keep riding for years to come.
@@Cheezmonka its really one of the best... dont know what youre talking about
@@jonathanesqueda3452 It's an amazing bike, and I had one and loved it to death (literally, it was totaled in a wreck that I had no control over). But it's certainly a bit too powerful and heavy for someone that's never ridden much before. That power to weight ratio is like having a 500HP car at around 3000lbs weight. Would that be appropriate for a new driver? Now couple that with the immensely different skill set and higher risk that comes with a motorcycle in general.
@@Cheezmonka i can see your point but if they have done the msf course its totally fine but tbh i really have no place to talk, my first street bike was an r6 that i bought at 15, im 16 now and havent dropped or crashed it. Ive had it for about 8 months and i had like 6 months of dirt bike experience so the r6 wasnt too powerfull at all could be because all the power is at the top end so whenever i do want that i just drop a gear and twist the throttle
@@jonathanesqueda3452 Ah, gotcha. Well, all I ask is that y'all study and practice, always. Even veteran and expert riders should do meaningful and focused practice often. Check out some of the other channels like Motojitsu and McRider to learn some stuff that may not be taught in the basic rider courses. Just tryna keep everyone a little safer.
After 4 years of a cbr 125, 1 year of a virago 535 and just bought my mt07 a couple of months ago, i tell you something, the progressive evolution of power is the way to go!
i just feel sorry when my friend who just got his A license wanting to go directly to a mt09. The guy doesn't know what his getting into
he will probably shit his pants multiple times!
Get a 2016 XSR900, u get abs, traction control, riding modes all standard. Personally I also love the look.
The MT09 will always have a special place in my heart
I've went from an SV650 to an mt09.
Thank you yammie, for making me happy about my decisions
Thats what i got right now and hoping to get the MT09!
@@evannash1560if you do. Grab a ZX6r shock for the rear, it makes it a hell of a lot better
I've been watching your videos for the past year before I've decided to buy my own Motorcycle. Guess what, I've got a Yamaha Mt09. Despite you saying MT07 is better, I still got the Yamaha Mt09 as my first bike! FIRST BIG BIKE! oh, I own an XC Bicycle Trail Bicycle, and a Scooter 125cc at only 1800kms. I consider myself a beginner rider but still, I got the Yamaha MT09.
I've been following all of your advise tho. Thanks for your videos. They also inspired me to start Vlogging. Hahaha.
Mt09 was my first bike. Love it
Hey Yami, newly endorsed motorcycle rider here and I have to say, thank you for all your beginner bike videos. They have helped me so much in my search for my first bike.
I’m proud to tell you that you’ve helped and lead me to purchase a Turbo Busa with Hentai graphics.
Thank you! ❤️
Please do one on the z900 about where it stands in the market against the competition and who should buy it..
I bought a 2014 FZ09 last month, after riding a R3 for a year. "Luckily", the prev owner haven't done the throttle remap, so I can test it. Every millimeters of the throttle matters lol. I didn't even use standard mode for commuting. After the dealer remaps the throttle, it smooth out a lot. I never did any unwanted wheelie. So if you smooth out your throttle at start, you will be fine. The down side of this bike is the fuel tank is a bit small for triple-cylinder imo. It will get quite hot to your leg under the sun (maybe I was upgrade from a 2-cylinder fairing to 3-cylinder naked). BTW, I am 5'5 so I have a difficulty to walk the bike backward, but otherwise is okay.
I have had the 2015 FZO9 for 3 seasons now. I'm 52 and have ridden the old 1977 - 1980 KZ'S and Suzuki gs850 1982 . Dirt bikes etc.. but yes this pulls harder than any I've rode. Light weight and tons of torque. Yes if you even hit a bump in the road and your hand twists a fraction the throttle pulls. I never did wheelies on street bike until this one. Not big long ones but HUNDREDS of them. Experience helps. Respect this bike or it bites
I'm getting a Tracer 900 GT next week as my 3rd bike :D
Tha'ts the bike I want for the 3rd bike...maybe 4th...also. Did you get yours yet? How you like it? Cant' wait to get mine! I looked at the BMW F900 XR pretty hard too but, going with the Tracer now.
@@kee7678 yeha have it for just over a month now. I looked at the BMW too, but didn't try it. Different price range too, the Tracer just delivers more value. I tried the Tiger 900,beautiful bike but I actually preferred the Tracer and Triumph was also more pricey. Over the moon with the Tracer, already did a 3 day tour in Wales, great for touring, amazing engine that'll make you giggle anytime you want, comfortable, sporty and nimble as hell. Great upgrade!
@@HellRyder18 Congrats and good to hear!! Are you doing any mods to it at all? I"ll probably put a touring screen on it, another power USB/outlet, eng guards and a top box.
@@kee7678 of course, Givi engine protection arrived today, will probably install over weekend. Also need to install front led turning signals (oxford nightrider), will do rear ones later. Got the yamaha official 50L top box and rack too. Will deffo get an exhaust maybe a cheaper option like Scorpion, Black Widow, or Delkevic (all half the price of Akra). After that, maybe a different screen? But I don't hate on the stock one. Oh and some better tyres when these stock ones wear out.

Ride a little tw 200 right now eventually wanna get a mt09 when I can
Love my 2017 but the ABS light randomly starts flashing after a quicker than usual stop. The ABS system isn’t engaging, I’ve had that happen once for the rear brake.
Plz don't change Papa Yam, you're saving the 2 wheeled boogaloo brigade.
"Yet yourself into the great beyond"i gotta remember that one hahaha
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this
I really miss the CP3 of my XSR900....
83k miles on my 2014 fz09 and still going strong
The 2016 MT09 has the old style headlight but features traction control and ABS (at least in the UK) im pretty sure the throttle response on it is more refined than the earlier model. If you are going second hand and like the older styling try and aim for a 2016 as youll get features from both although it does still lack the fully adjustable suspension. I own this year and believe it to be a good compromise although ive swapped out the springs and shock for something that wasnt designed for a monster truck :D
"...squids compete for Darwin Awards..." LOL

Will the BMW F900R ever be on your radar? I picked one up lately. Its base price is $4 less than an MT09 and offers quite a lot, and a longer warranty.
I started on a fz09 and I'm fine... I do just fine on my fz09.. I do real good and I do wheelies everywhere with it!!
Seriously though, it wasn't too difficult to start out on. The bike is very capable, but respect it and you will survive
Soooo would this be an okay bike to get if you've been riding big cruisers for a couple years and you're looking to break into naked bikes?
I test rode a 2020 MT-09 at a local demo day and wow, coming from a 2004 R6, I couldn't get used to the throttle at all. The MT was jittery and twitchy and way too responsive. And that was how it felt after being tuned down from earlier models? I can't imagine how twitchy the earlier models were.
ItsFuchieTime I had a 14 Fz09 if you rolled off and on the throttle it would cough burp then fart. Get the ecu flashed and it gets really good.
Yay for Mt. Lemmon B role 😍🔥
I hear a little RCR coming through during the "first bike/squid missile" rant. i like it!!
I bought and rode one for a few thousand miles after a really big absence from riding. Was great but the suspension man!!
