@@AdamWaheed Thank you! It's a shame Yamaha doesn't offer Navigation on their display via smartphone sync. Can't believe the MT-10 doesn't have a quick shifter either, especially when the Tuono and the S1000R offers BOTH.
I would be legitimately heartbroken if there wasn't. Yamaha has created an almost perfect bike here, but I just can't live with the hideous wish.com-look of it. I wouldn't hesitate a single second to buy the XSR version if it ever comes out.
Yamaha will sell a ton of these things. Hard to beat it for the money. The looks aren't the greatest, but nobody leaves these bikes stock, and by the time you do a tail tidy and a few other things, it'll look pretty sweet. And you can't beat Yamaha reliability. Personally I can't wait for the revised XSR900.... love my 2016 in the 60th anniversary colors. That triple is so sweet. I'll be in line for one of the 2022 XSR900's you can bet on that.
Every youtuber and almost every manufacturer underestimate just how important price is when it comes to deciding to buy a bike. They think being 0.1 seconds faster to 100 sells bikes.
The headlight has grown on me. Would love to have an SP in my garage when they come out. Working my ass off right now to make that happen. Thanks for the review. Encouraged by how you liked the improvements.
@@diavolorosso69 Credible you mean what? You could just join some triumph groups on fb, 90% of posts are damages. I am not saying you should not buy triumph, I also owned some and I liked them. Their prices should adjust though. Yamaha is made in japan and triumph in thailand with everything that comes with it.
@@panagiotisseventekidis7153 Good to know. I'm not on facecrack & would have a hard time trusting the "information" posted there but I'm sure there're several other more reliable groups out there I can check out. In your experience, is it mostly mechanical failures, electrical or other (e.g. fit & finish issues) ?
Not a fan of the headlight either; but that can easily be changed. I'm sure there will be plenty of aftermarket options. I love the rest of the bike; still very compact and even more of a beast.
Sweet new MT-09, but I really don’t see how this is “a better Triumph”, better MT-09 for sure but the Yamaha is still more motard than sportbike where the Street Triple is like a naked Daytona. This review was really more commercial than review :-)
Seriously? The Street Triple has basically been the same bike for a decade or more. Sure they updated the engine but other that and a quick shifter, this new MT with all of its advanced electronics makes the ST/STRS look old and decrepit.
@@tg8150 electronics is a nice cherry on top. The cake is made by chassis, engine, suspensions and brakes. And triumph's street triple has nothing to envy about the new mt 09
Agreed. It all depends on what type of ride you want. The MT is compared with the ST because of the triple engine. I want a more relaxed riding position so the MT or the 890 Duke is more my style.
Too bad ZERO dealers have any. Distribution from Yamaha is inexcusable. I’m soooooooo sick of seeing this horrible grey color. The all black examples still must be stuck on the Pacific somewhere.
@@giovanniquargentan6198 every Midwest Yamaha dealer I’ve called says that Yamaha is barely shipping them anything and they never know what they’re getting. June is the consensus date frame for the 2021 MT-09 to arrive at US dealers.
Not a fan of that headlight..Throw an oldschool circle headlight like an sv650 and it would even look better then this. This just doesnt flow it's too high.
I was tossing up between the Street Triple R or the MT-09 and ended up with the MT-09. The Street Triple felt much more refined and smooth whereas the MT-09 make you clench your butt. I ended up with the MT-09 and I'm pretty damn happy with it.
@@PetSounds38it's actually very fun to embarrass some MTs on the twisties.. but yeah, it's boring to be able to twist the throtle without having to fight the bike in to keeping the line after..
I still don't understand why most reviewers never talk about engine vibration. To me a engine that vibrates a lot basically ruins the bike. I know a lot of other people feel the same way.
a lot of times, videos like this are part of the manufacturers' "first impression" promotion, which puts very strict limits about what topics can and cannot be discussed. For most of these, they aren't allowed to give rider impressions, which engine vibration would fall into. But if you have watched many of Adam's videos, when he does the commute video, i'm almost sure he will be addressing that.
I think I once read an explanation of the "6 axis" IMU terminology. We all know that we live in 3D space so there's only three axis' (X, Y, and Z which relate to pitch, roll, and yaw). The "six" comes from the fact that each of velocity and acceleration are measured in each of the three axes. 2 X 3 = 6. YMMV
That initially unacceptable headlights are growing in me... Slowly but surely I have started accepting for its look from another planet...❤️ Dude... the future is here...
Triumph has style. This is simply hideous. I wouldn't like to open my garage door and look at this front every morning. Not for me. Triumph wins it hands down.
Sorry but Yamaha didn’t build a better triumph. The mt09 is very motard type while street triple is more sport bike. Different types. I’ll take a sporty bike over a motard bike any day
Can't wait to see what the aftermarket does to replace that monstrosity of an exhaust...thanks Euro 5. I didn't hate the stock exhaust on the previous gen bike and generally do not like making the bike louder, but this one has to go if I ever get one of these. I do miss my MT09 (was actually the last year of the FZ09, but first year of the gen 2 bikes) and Tracer 900GT. Wouldn't mind a 2021 version of either bike.
Does it have cruise control like the SP? I might be willing to spend the extra $$ just to get the cruise control if this version of the MT09 does not have it.
@@pyrolysis2129 thanks for the reply. Its is very surprising that it doesn't have it considering the SP does... disappointing. How ever just gives me an excuse to bite the bullet and grab the SP
@@Anything_With_An_Engine Yep, I want the SP myself. My local dealer is having a yamaha test ride day in April. Really hoping they have an MT09 available for me to try. The Indian FTR1200 is the other bike im considering but this seems to have it beat in price, performance, weight, fuel mileage and capacity and others.
@@pyrolysis2129 its funny the bikes your interested in. I am also interested in haha. Really wanted the indian myself to be different but I already have a vtwin bike. So im sure ill go with the yamaha.
No doubt a great series of bikes, and a big improvement, but seriously Yamaha couldn’t build an uglier series of bikes if they tried,, imagine there sales if they had cared what the -07,-09-10 looked like😳
Their mt series looked decent until 2021 and has been hugely popular before that. This is a big opportunity for other models to finally catch up like the trident, z900, and new monster now that yamaha shit the design bed
Some changes from the previous generation I'm noticing: - New color screen that based on the video seems to admit/indicate that once the first bar of fuel is gone, half the tank is gone. - IMU - More ride-by-wire rider modes - Redesigned headlight - Eliminated the "Euro Style" license plate arm, went back to the traditional under-seat arrangement - Quickshifter standard - New brake cylinder master reservoir - Adjustable passenger pegs - Greater displacement - New turn signals (I guess Yamaha ran out of those hideous signals that came on my 2018 MT09. The list of improvements is quite impressive, I must admit. Is it enough to make me want to upgrade my 2018? Nope. I'm a bit on the fence regarding the new styling as well. But I'm sure that anyone who buys this bike will have a massive grin on their face every time they give it the beans - these bikes and that CP3 engine are awesome. Great video Adam, keep up the good work!
I want to sell my Honda for this. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the looks Yamaha just really made a great product that satisfies the consumers feedback and every way. the only reason why I don't pull the trigger on this is because I'm waiting for them to do the same for the XSR900 🤤
Wahid! Hands down the best motor cycle reviewer. Always a pleasure to see your work and new vids. Hope you get to do the new Tracer 9 GT in a commute review. Keep it up!
Good luck putting an aftermarket slip-on exhaust on that. Gonna have to remove the entire exhaust from the headers back, install a $1,500 full system and do a $400 tune just to get a better exhaust tone.
My problem is that for the new style looks horrible to me, I liked a lot better the old transformers look with the headlights. Also here in Mexico is super expensive, specially since the KTM Duke 890R and Street Triple RS are cheaper, specially the KTM. Yamaha and Kawasaki are crazy expensive here. Also I think the Yamaha is heavier vs the Triumph and KTM, and doesn't have as good brakes or suspension as the other two, specially the KTM. Too bad because I think that the Yamaha is probably the better built and more reliable of the three.
Wish the yamaha would be a Twin cylinder. Or if they would at least make a naked bike with 2 cylinder and 110 hp. i would really consider buying it. Ktm 790/890s are cool but quality wise garbage unfortunately :(
@@giovanniquargentan6198 yea i prefer the Rumble of a twin . But Not harley Style. Like KTM 790 , Ducati Monster 821 Style . But almost everything i read online about the KTM 790/890 reliability wise was negative . So many people have engine Problems or Problems in General with the new parallel twin Dukes.
@@DrKampfpudding gotcha. Yes ktms are not known for being as reliable as Japanese, but still they're not garbage. You might consider to buy the new Ducati Monster. Also the new Aprilias 660
@@giovanniquargentan6198 im looking at the Aprilia tuono 660 at the Moment . But i dont feel the Design 100% . And If i buy a Bike it needs to wow me . Ducati is Just on another Level in Terms of maintanance Cost . Dont want to Check the valves every 15 000 km with Ducati prices
While the FZ/MT 09 is perhaps the best motorcycle Yamahas has ever build due to the entire package capabilities it does in no way take away from the Street Triple 765 RS. The characters of either bike will suit a variety of riders. The MT has it's raw angry engine, Triumph it's clockwork smooth deceptively quick 3 cyl. Ride both and decide neither is any better for those who chose either.
The most important components of any bike is the brakes and suspension. It makes the biggest difference between a confidence inspired fun ride and a scary death ride when pushed hard. Unfortunately they still use ultra low quality KYB disposable suspension that's sprung for a max load of 170lbs, and horrible brake calipers, pads, hoses and small rotors. We need regulations for manufacturers to build quality safe bikes, like Triumph does. And what's with the ugly styling from Japan. The headlight is unbearable. Why not at least offer a real headlight option, like on the Triumph Trident 660.
Yamaha now holds the "worst headlight ever" title. And it's not even close. I'd be less embarrassed showing up with a 50cc moped to a track day, then i would be showing up at a meet with That headlight. WTF was Yamaha thinking. Yamaha Needs to fire whoever came up with that, and who ever greenlit it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Can't wait for a real review between all the new middle weight bikes. They just keep getting better and better. Not a big fan of rider aids, but when you are on the limits it's nice to know they are there to help. Would like to know just how intrusive they are on a bike like this that likes to lift the front wheel constantly.
Styling is awesome? Are you kidding me....This thing is fucking ugly. period. And wtf is up with that exhaust!? jesus! No thanks. I'll spend my money on something else. - end rant.
You are wrong sir, power mode 1 on the previous model was lesser powerful than this one. It's just the difference between mode 2 and mode 1. On the previous model was lesser powerful thus very noticeable difference. This models SP version is superior than any Triumph as an overall package. If you are a committed rider there is no bike to catch you on a twisty road. Even short straights are hard to overtake this bike unless you have double the power. Accelerates so fast with the quick shifter!
Too bad, in India, Yamaha has totally ruined their own chances in the past by pricing the MT-09 above the immediate rival Triumph Street Triple. I hope 2021 makes a difference to that!
You like the headlight? Okay how much did Yamaha pay you to say this? (Joking aside). This headlight kills the bike for me. I've seen better looking headlight on the cheaper Zero bikes and they are not exactly appealing.
How do u compare the torque to 890 Duke R? Similar or does it lack the punch that KTM delivers? BTW what a horrible design in the cat, man that looks like a jet engine :D
Ppl moaning about the headlight. This is a yamaha. Nearly all their modern bikes have caused conversation about their looks and headlight and nearly all of them eventually grow on the haters. I hated the mt10 at first. Now I think its pretty cool. If u dont like it u have to buy it. Very simple life choice.
Great overview video, but terrible clickbait title. Come on, Motorcyclist, you can do better. If you’re going to call out Triumph, then save it for a shootout video.
What the.. is ALL that stuff hanging off the back end ? Looks like a damn ladder bout as long to. Love the bike despise the lack of styling. Hey Yami call in the Italians pls. That gobot look has to go.
Honestly. This is just a big advertisement. I feel like you just say what yamaha told you to say. Nothing against the videography but this is not an objective review

im fine with the design, and the headlight. but the headlight sits too high which makes it unnapealing to my eyes
This bike looks sexy idk
I'm guessin' the XSR will get the updates this fall. I'd like to see the design because the 2020 XSR looks great,
The second Gen mt09 looked original. My problem with this version is that it looks like a Ktm Duke 200.
Yamaha needs to cut this man a check, he just sold a lot of bikes for them.

Good luck putting an aftermarket slip-on exhaust on that. Gonna have to remove the entire exhaust from the headers back, install a $1,500 full system and do a $400 tune just to get a better exhaust tone.
My problem is that for the new style looks horrible to me, I liked a lot better the old transformers look with the headlights. Also here in Mexico is super expensive, specially since the KTM Duke 890R and Street Triple RS are cheaper, specially the KTM. Yamaha and Kawasaki are crazy expensive here. Also I think the Yamaha is heavier vs the Triumph and KTM, and doesn't have as good brakes or suspension as the other two, specially the KTM. Too bad because I think that the Yamaha is probably the better built and more reliable of the three.
Wish the yamaha would be a Twin cylinder. Or if they would at least make a naked bike with 2 cylinder and 110 hp. i would really consider buying it. Ktm 790/890s are cool but quality wise garbage unfortunately :(
Do you prefer how a twin sounds? Also, ktm's are no garbage, idk why you say that
@@giovanniquargentan6198 yea i prefer the Rumble of a twin . But Not harley Style.
Like KTM 790 , Ducati Monster 821 Style .
But almost everything i read online about the KTM 790/890 reliability wise was negative . So many people have engine Problems or Problems in General with the new parallel twin Dukes.
@@DrKampfpudding gotcha. Yes ktms are not known for being as reliable as Japanese, but still they're not garbage. You might consider to buy the new Ducati Monster. Also the new Aprilias 660
@@giovanniquargentan6198 im looking at the Aprilia tuono 660 at the Moment . But i dont feel the Design 100% .
And If i buy a Bike it needs to wow me .
Ducati is Just on another Level in Terms of maintanance Cost . Dont want to Check the valves every 15 000 km with Ducati prices
Highly doubt this is better than the Street Triple. It’s definitely worse looking...
I grew up in La Canada. Was that shot on Angeles Crest Hwy?
Better not let Yammie hear you say this.
I've ordered an SP! Can't wait!
Should have it next week!
Bring back the print mag.
Agreed...and in the format that preceded the last redesign.
I like the bike and your review was spot on.
My god I have been waiting for this video for MONTHS.
I have preorderd the MT-09 SP 2021 and fuck I am glad I did now.
I did the same back in december
I got the 07 2020, the only thing I hate is the exhaust, sounds like a lawnmover
The headlight and the wheels 🤢 Though if I’m riding it probably won’t care too much
Adam is always top notch review. Yamaha seems to have done it's homework with the bike in general.
Except the styling
great reviews Adam, thanks for the excellent "sporty" riding we love it when you give it horns
They couldn't make it any uglier if they tried..
It burns my eyes to see it
While the FZ/MT 09 is perhaps the best motorcycle Yamahas has ever build due to the entire package capabilities it does in no way take away from the Street Triple 765 RS. The characters of either bike will suit a variety of riders. The MT has it's raw angry engine, Triumph it's clockwork smooth deceptively quick 3 cyl. Ride both and decide neither is any better for those who chose either.
It’s ugly asf tho lol
The most important components of any bike is the brakes and suspension. It makes the biggest difference between a confidence inspired fun ride and a scary death ride when pushed hard.
Unfortunately they still use ultra low quality KYB disposable suspension that's sprung for a max load of 170lbs, and horrible brake calipers, pads, hoses and small rotors.
We need regulations for manufacturers to build quality safe bikes, like Triumph does. And what's with the ugly styling from Japan. The headlight is unbearable. Why not at least offer a real headlight option, like on the Triumph Trident 660.
It might be a good bike, but it's ugly as all he&#.
I know, hence why I bought an XSR900. WTF are Yamaha designers taking in their studios? The MT10 is also a visual mess.
Yamaha now holds the "worst headlight ever" title. And it's not even close. I'd be less embarrassed showing up with a 50cc moped to a track day, then i would be showing up at a meet with That headlight. WTF was Yamaha thinking. Yamaha Needs to fire whoever came up with that, and who ever greenlit it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Can't wait for a real review between all the new middle weight bikes. They just keep getting better and better. Not a big fan of rider aids, but when you are on the limits it's nice to know they are there to help. Would like to know just how intrusive they are on a bike like this that likes to lift the front wheel constantly.
We can appreciate their effort in redesign and reengineering in this bike.. but come on with the front end Yamaha..
Styling is awesome? Are you kidding me....This thing is fucking ugly. period. And wtf is up with that exhaust!? jesus! No thanks. I'll spend my money on something else. - end rant.
You are wrong sir, power mode 1 on the previous model was lesser powerful than this one. It's just the difference between mode 2 and mode 1. On the previous model was lesser powerful thus very noticeable difference.
This models SP version is superior than any Triumph as an overall package. If you are a committed rider there is no bike to catch you on a twisty road. Even short straights are hard to overtake this bike unless you have double the power. Accelerates so fast with the quick shifter!
Too bad, in India, Yamaha has totally ruined their own chances in the past by pricing the MT-09 above the immediate rival Triumph Street Triple. I hope 2021 makes a difference to that!
You like the headlight? Okay how much did Yamaha pay you to say this? (Joking aside). This headlight kills the bike for me. I've seen better looking headlight on the cheaper Zero bikes and they are not exactly appealing.
great review BTW!
How do u compare the torque to 890 Duke R? Similar or does it lack the punch that KTM delivers? BTW what a horrible design in the cat, man that looks like a jet engine :D
Ppl moaning about the headlight. This is a yamaha. Nearly all their modern bikes have caused conversation about their looks and headlight and nearly all of them eventually grow on the haters. I hated the mt10 at first. Now I think its pretty cool. If u dont like it u have to buy it. Very simple life choice.
This bike is ugly. Why do they insist on giving us awesome performance motorcycles that look terrible?
Great overview video, but terrible clickbait title. Come on, Motorcyclist, you can do better. If you’re going to call out Triumph, then save it for a shootout video.
Good characteristics but pretty ugly design... they've a long way to get better in that field...
What are you guys getting the 2023 MT09 for OTD? Dealers are really jacking up the prices.
What the.. is ALL that stuff hanging off the back end ? Looks like a damn ladder bout as long to.
Love the bike despise the lack of styling. Hey Yami call in the Italians pls.
That gobot look has to go.
Honestly. This is just a big advertisement. I feel like you just say what yamaha told you to say. Nothing against the videography but this is not an objective review
Technically top bike but...
I'm sick and tired of the "Transformer" look all over the mordern bikes.
Had a guy along side me once in the new MT-09. The bike looked so small and the headlight just takes away the character of the bike.
For some reason I like the looks of the new MT-07 more than the MT-09.
