I finally got to ride a 2023 MT-09 SP model and it was super fun. I loved how smooth the quick shifter was and the new one on the 2024 is even smoother and more versatile. I also rode a 2023 765 Street Triple -- didn't like the clunky quick shifter on it -- but everything else on it was amazing. It would be tough to decide between these two bikes. I really like the 2024 MT-09 SP; it's even better looking in person.
@@michaelfrock2473 Well, the 2023 I rode was very smooth up and down in most situations. I think that quick shifters though tend to work better when the rpms are in the roughly mid - higher rev ranges. But like I said, the new MT-09 is reported to have an even better more versatile quick shifter. I would stay away from the KTM in either displacement size as the Japanese make more reliable motorcycles and plus, you can't beat the sound of a triple, particularly the sound of an MT-09. The Triumph Street Triple sounds phenomenal as well. Good luck! 👍 Currently, I can only afford to test ride. 😕
@@michaelfrock2473 Try to find a dealer that either doesn't have a bullcrap ADM fee or is willing to greatly reduced it. That's the fee that they added during the Covid crisis and most have not removed it yet. Many Triumph dealers don't try to screw over their customers like that and in some cases, to move previous year models -- which should be coming up soon -- they'll greatly reduce even the MSR price on certain models. The Yamaha still has a better reliability record though.
Love the bike, looks great in SP colours. 1 question: The track modes just look like they do the same thing as Custom 1 & 2 on my standard 2024 MT 09. Is there anything extra you can set in them or are they just 4 more custom settings? Thanks
I wonder if Yamaha (or somebody else aftermarket) would let you spec a traditional key ignition on the sp rather than the keyless. Awesome bike, but for some reason I’m not all for the keyless system… There’s an override function on it too in case you lose your fob. If I remember correctly, you need to enter a code using the ‘knob’ as the input key. They’re offering a couple of different Akrapovic exhausts in the uk as spec options. I’d love to hear how each exhaust sounds back to back 🤘🏻
@@INFAMAS Thanks for the reply 🙂 Just me being old fashioned I guess. I’m sure it does work great. Makes sense with the keycode being different for each bike. Kind of obvious when I think about it. HaHa! Stay safe man… looking forward to more updates 👍🏻
what you have to remember is that you stated the cost of those parts, brakes, forks, suspension but.. you should have stated the DIFFERENCE in price because if the stock brakes are $800 and the Brembo's are $1250 it's only $450 not a $1250 upgrade (also those are retail prices and Yamaha are not paying those prices)... the average biiker is not going to the track... (or even tinkering with suspension settings) things like that track settings should be optional extras instead of something everyone has to pay... in all honesty, a better rear shock on the base MT09 and I doubt 99% of riders would be hard pressed to think there was any real difference in the ride to justify the price difference.
You shouldnt compare the difference, you should compare the full price. Because that's what you'll be paying if you buy the base model and wanted to upgrade the brakes or suspension, you wouldn't be paying the difference. But you are right, in the end it comes down to preference!
@@INFAMAS Not really.... Because you are talking buying parts in addition to stock. So when we talk about difference in price... if you are talking after market sales you'd have to take into account the price you'd sell your base model parts and subtract that.. it gets complicated and it's like comparing oranges to apples. Real world riding, I've ridden both (gen 3 models) and the base model had a non stock rear shock... and if I had not been able to see the livery I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart. I'm an average rider who has spent more time on one wheel than scraping my knee pads so both models are more than what I require, the base model and new shock would be enough, but if I was going to buy one, I would buy the sp but only for the looks... also here in Britain, the difference is about $2200 between base and SP
Next month im getting my full bike licence (european things, i am currently limited to 48hp max bikes) and i am thinking of buying a mt09 but can't really afford a 2024 model, so I was thinking what should I do. Can't decide between gen 2 and gen 3. You had the gen 2, I don't know if you had the gen 3 but is it worth it? Overall I prefer the gen 3 but I dont know if its worth the money. Here in Spain gens 2 usually cost 7k€ and its sp model 8k. Gens 3 cost 8k€ and its sp model 10k... I dont really wanna spend more than 8k so my question is, do i go for a gen 2 sp or a base gen 3?
Im also considering getting a 05'ish gsxr 600 for 4k€ but I kinda think the mt09 is going to be way better because it's powerful midrange? idk how to explain it
Gen3 should be your goal especially if it's going to be your first full power bike. The base model has all the TCS modes tied to the 6 axis imu that the Gen2 doesn't have.
Had the Gen 3 SP and test rode the standard Gen 4 and ordered a Gen 4 SP straight away fabulous bike 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also ordered one, thay said September😢
I have just upgraded my 2024 "normal" to the SP, and frontbrakes and suspension makes a huge difference - great bike

Is it smooth up and down? Looking at this bike or a KTM 990 as the 1390 seems like it hates around town driving unlike these two.

@@lateralus9244 thanks for the info very helpful. Hopefully you will be able to grab yourself one in the future.

I love the way it looks with the bar-end mirrors and the tail tidy, those mods are a must on that bike..
ordered mine a few weeks ago after I sold my 18 R1. Been looking for a practical bike i can ride every day.
Thank you very much! I was the one on your Instagram live that asked that question. Hehehe
Keep up the good work and ride safe brother! 💪🏽
I love mine especially coming from a 2020 LAMS mt07 OMG the power difference
I'd love to see a video on the mods you've done and the ones you're planning to do. I'll have mine in a month or so, can't wait! 😍
The tank looks really nice and different too. Overall updated design 👍
This bike is incredible. Congrats on your purchase dude!
People are not into the design of the bike. But each manufacturer to their own. I like some differentiation on the origins of each brand.
2024 09SP is about $300 cheaper than the KTM Duke 990 in the USA.
I have a gen 3 standard and the only thing keeping me away from the gen4 sp is the color scheme, really cant get over it :)))
Great content! Curious to know if you were able to get any discount from the Drive Away price at all? Thanks.
Gen3 has kyb on the front and ohlins rear
as well as up down qs
Just put a deposit on one, can't wait

what Mods have you done ??? or are going to do. Like the mirrors look nice?
Definitely a new exhaust and tune soon!
with the keyless ignition i assume you still have a key for the fuel cap and seat removal🤷♂
Not for the fuel cap! Watch my latest video to see how it works!

The key fob works great! And the security code is different for each person :)

I'd like this or the 10sp. The only thing that would put me off is it uses as much fuel as a car 😅
MT-09 is better on gas consumption. Owned a 23’ 10sp and it was very thirsty lol
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve They'd be fun as he'll though
Can you compare to a tuono 660 factory?
Yes it is worth it
Nobody says the breaks are great, i find this to be telling.
can you compare them to other bikes?
thanks.
My latest video goes over it slightly
What about fuel cap? Awesome bike❤❤
Oh yeah I forgot to mention! You simply turn the key off, then when you pull the cap up it unlocks!

I'd say base model gen 3 dude! Still get way more electronics!
Gen3 should be your goal especially if it's going to be your first full power bike. The base model has all the TCS modes tied to the 6 axis imu that the Gen2 doesn't have.
What tail tidy did you go with ??
Mustard 👌🏻
At 120 km per hour how loud is wind noise?
Depends on your helmet bro
Do they give you 2 key fobs?
Yep!
Is this a practical bike to wheelie ?
It is the king of wheelie bikes my friend.
Call it the MT09M, I give you permission 😏😏😏
This may be the last good one. The 2025 is supposedly going to be an automatic!
Yeah, switchable between auto and manual trans. Interesting, not a huge fan
Nice bike
Thanks ✌️
Sp model isn't worth it
First time I have heard that opinion. Care to share why?
