tbh i still ride it. i rode it as a beginner bike a few years ago. it is a good bikke although the torque is quite powerfull despite what its meant for
Idk what I like more, watching the bikes or watching Chris, my favourite reviewer .. 🔥🔥❤️ but between these two though the hypermotard is more my type. .
It’s not even comparable to the Ducati. How can you take a video seriously that says “Yamaha tried to move the mt-09 away from its supermoto roots?” There is literally nothing supermoto about an mt-09, of any model year. As an ex owner of both, there is NO comparison.
I gave myself the Hypermotard SP for my birthday this past May and I have to say, that even within the Ducati range, it has the personality of a rambunctious puppy. Yes, the seating position drapes your nads onto the fuel tank and the field of view is that of a hood ornament, so it does require some getting used to. Lots of torque! Also; you did a review of the 950 SP sometime back and it aided in my decision to go with the 950 SP. Thanks for all your reviews Chris.
I’m an average ability rider and I’d say, having done test rides on both the MT (prev version) and the Hyper, that the MT is a much easier bike to ride and therefore gives a lot more confidence. And the newer MT even more so. For a pro, the Ducati would prob be more fun.
Love the country lanes footage. If that were me, I'd be avoiding all the gravel and debris in the centre like the plague - Chris heads straight for it! Kudos! By the way, are you planning any comparison tests with the new Monster?
Great video. I always wanted a Hypermotard. Been drooling over them since the concept model. Bought an XSR900 instead about 4 years ago. It was just too much value. I don't regret it.
I bought a new 2016 mt09 put a full race akra exhaust on it and it was f***ing insane! The power and torque would keep the front wheel just kissing the road,a real nutters bike Dam I must get another!
Did a testride on a Hyper and when I came back my wife said she can't remember when was the last time I had such a wide grin on my face. She basically forced me to order one for the next season.
Interesting I have the Hyper 950SP 2019, has the 939SP previously and love the mm both. I rode my brothers MT09 for a few months and thought it would make a great fun commuter.
I have 4 Ohlins equipped bikes and got the RVE because it looked crazy and I told myself “it’s not like I’ll ever take it to the track”. I did. It kicked ass. If the SP can kick more ass in the case you do track it after you tell yourself you’re not going to, you should go that route.
Since we spend imaginary money I would go for Ducati SP. And since a bicycle is in the garage most of the time, I would get a fireproof window between the garage and the living room. And enjoyed the sight of the SP every day all year round!😱
I never thought of the MT series as hyper motards at all. I always though they were hyper naked bikes. For this comparison however I couldn’t of thought of such a decent bike to compare it to, solid choice.
been looking at a previous gen MT09 and a 939 sp hypermotard used as a second bike. It really is head vs heart, i've owned Ducati's and they are special, and you pay for it. On the flip side the Yamaha is nearly as wild, but will never let you down and sounds amazing in its own way. Spoiled for choice really.
Brilliant video as always Chris. If I had the money I would take the awesome looking rve or the sp. The Yam in comparison looks dull and plain (although to ride it certainly is not). The fit and finish on the Duc is also in a different league. I just wish Yamaha would design the Mt series to look sleeker and more desirable.
bikes like this "looks" LOL how much and WHY would that even be of much importance? Impressing WHO? Ducati fanboys? Neither one is impressive to the general public they are both optically wierdos to all those outside the know
Glad to see your thoughts on these. I’m a happy Hypermotard 950 SP owner. And a Tracer GT owner which is not too far from the MT-09 engine wise. My experience…. The Ducati is hard. The day after riding the Hypermotard, i have backpain. I don’t have this on the Yamaha. Admittedly i have a small back/hip issue. Just saying…. The clutch on the 2020 Hypermotard is worse then on the Yam. I’m sometimes somewhere in the middle of two gears…. The Hypermotard 2021 has a revised clutch so probably much of these issues have been solved. Two other things…. The Ducati does not have a fuel indicator. And no cruise control. The first one i don’t get…. The second one…. Well, i kinda understand the concept…. But most people travel 100 km first before starting their playfull journey…. And a cruise control is superhandy on the highway to unstress your right hand after a 400 km twist and turn…. After all, Ducati added self dimming indicators…. Why not a cruise control…? It’s expensive enough…
The Tracer 9 is SEVENTY pounds heavier than MT! I own one and stuggle to keep pace with ligher bikes and flat get left for dead by the knee draggers. My guess is my fun factor will increase significantly with MT09SP since over half my riding is fast twisties ...thinking I will keep the tracer 9gt for the other half (all day rides "sport touring" southern ca awesom curvy routes where some wind protection and stability really do add to comfort! Not to mention extra fuel capicity and heated grips plusher suspension wit one minute of fiddling etc...or really 2 seconds if no luggage simply switching to A2 mode Also with the MTSP I wont feel wasteful mounting trackday tires like I WOULD with Tracer! Which even high end sport touring tires I never see more than 3500ish miles to the wear bars in the rear...Q5s or S22s would be long gone at 1500miles riding fast on the heavy bike!
Have you sat on one before? If not don't rule it out!! I'm 5'8 with a 29-30" inseam. The mt09 is comfortable, like, perfect for our size. I can flat foot easy. That said, I had a 690 supermoto with a 35" seat. It just requires a different stance. One foot on pegs and slide a cheek off the seat at a stop and you can get a solid foot on the ground. If you're not comfortable with that then the mt09 all the way, but I reccomend sitting on both and seeing how you feel. Everybody is different.
@Bike World would you be able to get a royal enfield interceptor 650 and put dirt tires on it and review it as a scrambler theirs tons of people doing it world wide but they never take it off road properly
Would the 890 Duke or Duke R also be in this group? Where would that sit in comparison to these two, if MT09 is more road focused and hypermotard more single track lanes etc?
I own a 790, which is basically the 890 R but a bit lower spec. The 790/890 are not so much hooligan bikes, they are "scalpels" as KTM calls them. Made for backroad bombing and mountain pass slicing, not so much supermoto esque stuff. The MT-09 already feels more hooligan compared to the Duke, the Duke is more of a road bike.
The only other big Supermoto was the Aprilia Dorsoduro 900. Sadly just discontinued due to Aprilia not bothering to make it Euro5. I was in the market for a Hyper but ended up the Aprilia instead. Every bit as good in the real World as the Hyper after losing that bloody great stock exhaust. Unfortunately if you buy on published specs (hint: they are a lie) you would go for the Ducati every time. I still desire a 950 SP but the jump up in price means I could probably put a late low mileage MT-09 in the garage, keeping the Dorsoduro and change. Choices, choices....
Ducati tells some WHOPPERS with their "dry weight" claims! If you compare TRUE wet weight minus fuel weight they are exposed as HUGE liars ....My guess is they subtract wight EVERY drop of liquid including coolant battery gel suspension oil brake fluid and likely every hint of grease! Used to be unscrupolous marketers omitted ALL "consumables" from weight which might include battery and tires even! Japanese companies take a higher road these days. But to ME? If you cant trust a manufacturer in one area? Why ANY area> Will they REALLY honor warranty claims? Or will they look for any reason to DENY??
It’s funny how torn I am between the 2022 mt 09 sp vs a 2019 Ducati hypermotard base I did find a guy that was selling his hypermotard tune decay exhaust the works with 325 miles for 13k though so tough thoughts
I’m getting the 2022 MT09 SP I hope It has better colour and and looks better slightly 😂 I really can’t wait it’s going to be my fist big bike after ride a 125cc scooter since summer 2017 on L plates
Why not compare mt09sp with monster+, this naked vs supermoto that cost 5k more for a base model doesn’t seem like something that someone thinking of either would consider the other no?
The Ducati will likely be more costly to own and in the U.S. depending on where you live, it probably be harder to get parts that will be a big consideration for most sensible consumers outside the UK
I'd take the one that has no electronic "aids", has a hydraulic clutch ,wire throttle and NO secondary butterflies. I'll pick that one ty very much. :)

I own the SP here in USA, and it is exquisite! My prior bike was a 2014, 1st year FZ-09, and the new SP is a huge leap above.
tbh i still ride it. i rode it as a beginner bike a few years ago. it is a good bikke although the torque is quite powerfull despite what its meant for
Idk what I like more, watching the bikes or watching Chris, my favourite reviewer .. 🔥🔥❤️ but between these two though the hypermotard is more my type. .
Seeing the mt09 compared to the hypermotard, just shows how good of a bike it is.
This is a trick statement isn't it.
Not really. It's the Hyper's only competitor
It really is a bad ass Beast!!
Mt09 has become an important part in the motorcycle world, that crossplane engine has that kind of pulse..
It’s not even comparable to the Ducati. How can you take a video seriously that says “Yamaha tried to move the mt-09 away from its supermoto roots?” There is literally nothing supermoto about an mt-09, of any model year.
As an ex owner of both, there is NO comparison.
That Hypermotard being ridden like that.........😍 Absolutely love it. Keep 'em coming Chris! 👊😜
Another great review Chris 👌🏻 oh and the intro music and cinematography was on point!

Unexpected comparison, but when you think of it for a second, it makes a lot of sense.
Since I love being on the road and not the workshop I think I will pick the MT-09.
Meow
I would love to see a comparison between Monster 937 , MT09Sp , Z900, KTM 890 Duke and Triumph Street Triple
Who wouldn't?
And the F900R.

dirt bike mentality makes that doable. especially with tire choice and lower pressures
This is one of the most honest reviews .. awesome
Another great video Chris
purchased a 2015 Hypermotard SP because of this great video! helped me narrow down my purchase
Nice!
Great video. I always wanted a Hypermotard. Been drooling over them since the concept model. Bought an XSR900 instead about 4 years ago. It was just too much value. I don't regret it.
The xsr 900 is a top bike.. for me, with another suspensions, the best bike for the money
Sad Yamaha does not do an SP for the XSR also! That an add a frame mounted cafe fairing and I would SO be in line to buy one!!
I bought a new 2016 mt09 put a full race akra exhaust on it and it was f***ing insane!
The power and torque would keep the front wheel just kissing the road,a real nutters bike
Dam I must get another!
Dude, your dog is awesome. :)
Love , love your videos Chris. can we expect a 2020 1000cc superbike shootout soon?
Did a testride on a Hyper and when I came back my wife said she can't remember when was the last time I had such a wide grin on my face. She basically forced me to order one for the next season.

Outstanding review. I love my '20 Hypermotard for curvy roads - guaranteed more smiles per mile, but it's an unpleasant mount on the freeway.
sprocket's a great name for a spaniel..gonna remember that one for the future
Another great review.
Chris the O.G.....insightful review as always.
My ultimate dream is to ride a Ducati one day.
Your confidence on those street tires in the dirt is impressive!
Them pirelli street tires on the duca grab everything ..that bike just makes me giggle everytime I'm on it
Would have been nice to have the 701/690 involved and then the duke 890 too. PLAYTIME BIKES.
I never thought of the MT series as hyper motards at all. I always though they were hyper naked bikes. For this comparison however I couldn’t of thought of such a decent bike to compare it to, solid choice.
Hey Chris, what happened to the detailed review on ftr
been looking at a previous gen MT09 and a 939 sp hypermotard used as a second bike. It really is head vs heart, i've owned Ducati's and they are special, and you pay for it. On the flip side the Yamaha is nearly as wild, but will never let you down and sounds amazing in its own way. Spoiled for choice really.
Brilliant video as always Chris. If I had the money I would take the awesome looking rve or the sp. The Yam in comparison looks dull and plain (although to ride it certainly is not). The fit and finish on the Duc is also in a different league. I just wish Yamaha would design the Mt series to look sleeker and more desirable.
The Yamaha will outlast the Ducati
For me the mt09 looks exotic . It's looks very different than any other naked out there .
bikes like this "looks" LOL how much and WHY would that even be of much importance? Impressing WHO? Ducati fanboys? Neither one is impressive to the general public they are both optically wierdos to all those outside the know
Too true, good comparison. Hyper is also good in congestion, footpaths, parks or any shortcut.
Ordered a 2022 hypermotard 950 with QS. Can't wait. Didn't go for SP as I ain't doing track.
Can you do a comparison the 890 duke R vs The MT09 SP??
please between this bike and the Yamaha mt09 sp 2022 for street riding, which is better?
When I saw the MT 09 in the air at 3:59 !!! Crazy!
I knew i had to like before even watching!!
Same here
How does the 950 compare to the old 1100?
What a cracking video, Chris you absolute god! Loved how your pooch just bulldozed itself in 😂
Thank God I will buy one of each of them
1100 Hyper, 50k km on the clock, love it!
Wow increíble video
Es fascinante te felicito
hand guards compatible for MT09??
More comparison.... Plz😇
My Hypo RVE is on order can’t wait. This will be my 3rd Duke. Just a class motorcycle.
Congratulations 👏
Is that RVE model available by order only? I have never seen one at a dealership here in the states, they only seem to have the base and SP models.
@@johnridesadv2512 here in Australia they are in the dealerships.
My best bike ever Ducati Hypermotard Rve. Just fun everyday. No regrets 🏍🏍🏍🥳😂

I would love to see a cb500f or mt07 or both just get hooned around on like these two bikes went through.
I luv my Yamaha 2117 FZ-09,runs great.
Nice video!
Can you please compare street triple rs and hypermotard 950 sp.
Awesome riding on the Ducati! balls of steel.
I love both but the hypermotard can happen after i buy my house. Ordered a mt09 a few weeks ago. Both are awesome
The hyper is so much fun to ride.
I'm 5'8 - too short for the Motard. Motard looks like it has more raw, gritty power delivery. Does the Yamaha cater better for shorter riders?
Youre taller than me!
Have you sat on one before? If not don't rule it out!! I'm 5'8 with a 29-30" inseam. The mt09 is comfortable, like, perfect for our size. I can flat foot easy.

You re not too short at all
Anyway we could see Chris compare the 2016-2018 Hypermotard 939 SP vs the new 950 SP?
you really smile a lot while talking about the Ducati...
I would love to own a Ducati, but Japanese motorcycles are just so damn good....
@Bike World would you be able to get a royal enfield interceptor 650 and put dirt tires on it and review it as a scrambler theirs tons of people doing it world wide but they never take it off road properly
About to pull the trigger on the RVE and so I’m biased - to me there’s no question!! Brother Had an R1 and loved it but yams plastic in comparison !
It’s a great bike, we did see an SP the other day though. 😳
The crash in the intro was the most graceful I've ever seen 👍🏼
Better comparison would have been the new monster 937 vs the MT09 SP
Would the 890 Duke or Duke R also be in this group? Where would that sit in comparison to these two, if MT09 is more road focused and hypermotard more single track lanes etc?
I feel that would be the best of both

There is a comparison from Chris between the 890r and the hypo sp on their channel. Chris choose.....ahhh you have find and watch it lol
Dog said MT-09 good enough for me... where's my cheque book!
Can you also check Suzuki GSX-S950. It has insane torque
So what kind of pup is that?
Answer this question please Chris!! Whats sorta hoond is he?

What about the duke?
As a kid your heart want a ducati but when you realise you are matured, 'yamaha for life'. freakn brilliant motorcycle brand...
Should you be comparing SP to SP?
Either way, the Duke 890R is the ultimate hooligan bike.
No way. Ktm's 500exc is. Add supermoto wheels to increase your GTA wanted level
@@kwaufwhesjwjks1753 I've got a 2013 hypermotard, and I can confirm that this is true

Outta these two Mt09sp all day
I’d choose the Hypermotard 950 SP over the RVE
Nice!
I still can't get over the terrible headlight of the MT09.. it's such a good bike.. but..
I know man the japanese can't design a good looking bike for the life of them most of the time
Was in dealership seen one on floor it was hideous
Ure riding is incredible
The Ducati will likely be more costly to own and in the U.S. depending on where you live, it probably be harder to get parts that will be a big consideration for most sensible consumers outside the UK

Are those bikes classified the same category? If not, why compare them?
They both wheelie well, so yes!
