What's your favourite generation of Yamaha MT-09? Let us know below 👇
That'll be the R9. Come on Yamaha, get on with it.
ps Carl did a great job! Best!
In person, it's a much nicer looking bike than in photos. And such a great bike to ride!
I think that my Gen2 is the best looking. The cyclopes front end of the Gen3 has been improved with the latest version but, I still prefer the second generation.
With the Gen2 the fueling / snatchy throttle of the first generation had been resolved and there was an improvement to the front fork but I agree that the suspension is still a little floaty. I played with the rear preload which helped a little.
Then again if you look at it as a less extreme naked the Gen2 is still a lot of fun. The (up-only) quickshifter works very well if adjusted properly and the CP3 engine is one of the best out there.
The seat on the earlier models is awful but can be replaced with a comfort seat (if manufacturers make a comfort seat why do they offer the naff version?)
Hope my comments at least help anyone looking at a used Gen 2...
keen for gen 5. Waiting on a speed limiter like the mt10 has.
The judge dredd styling just makes it an impossible choice for me. I've tried very hard to look past.... cannot.
Xsr900
"I am the law!"
Yes I,Agree😂
I have the xsr900 it’s a keeper!
@@paultaeza6054agree
Upgraded to the new 2024 MT-09 SP from a gen 1 MT-07. The bike is so much fun to ride with it feeling planted and smooth, and that CP3 engine sound projecting out of the acoustics is a sensation to listen to.
the exhaust is sooo fugly
They got everything right with the exception of the looks.
Exactly and it's s no go for the looks
@@WojciechKalka looks way better in person, especially with a tail tidy and bar end mirrors.
I'm hoping Yamaha bring out an updated XSR900 for next year with better looks and maybe an SP version like the MT-09.
Carl and Neevsey such good presenters, you can be the most talented rider of all time but it's all for nothing if you can't convey how a bike makes you feel or how the bike feels beneath you. These two do it so well. Top job!
Thus will be bike of the year. My 2024 SP is the best bike I've owned to date.
Urgh, it's sure not a looker. Give me a Street Triple RS over this.
I own this bike after riding for the last in 12 years.... Its a gem.... Feeling realy confident at the first 500meter...
I looked long and hard at the '24 mt-09 and ultimately wound up buying the '24 tracer 9gt+ Probably both would be a solid choice....
Would be interesting to hear how he fares with two up riding on the tracer 9 GT+. I do two up riding and not enough reviewers mention it
Fantastic bike, considering what it costs and what is offered, it’s an excellent proposition. Unfortunately, I can’t connect with its looks, and happens the same with the MT10. This assertion is valid for the KTM Dukes, also. Although the XSR 900 GP…is a serious option. Great video, with a complete experience description of the positives and the not so positive aspects of the machine. This video content is really useful and informative. Thank you!
Am i the only one who actually likes how the bike looks? I hear people absolutely hate this bike because of its looks everywhere. But I personally find it pretty modern looking and it looks fine honestly.
I don't love it, but it's fine. I think if I owned one it would actually grow on me.
I think it looks nice as well
Each to their own , in my opinion the 23 model Versys 650 in gold looks much better than this kitchen bench top look .
i like the front of the mt09 a lot. especially compared to the street triple where the headlight is to far away from the forks.
i have ridden both bikes for half a day. i thought it it would make it easier to decide which one i like more. But now i want both :D. And i have to say after riding the 765 i absolutely understand why it is part of the super sport comparisons.
gen 2 and this gen are good looking imo
The video image quality is amazing guys well done!
I have a 23 xsr 900. This is one of the best motors on the market in my opinion.
100% à XSR with the MT 10 engine would be awesome
The XSR has a much longer swingarm.
How does that factor in all this?
I know most people replace their exhaust, but my god. They couldnt at least paint that thing?
It looks like a Zebra thats had its guts ripped open by a hyena... its hideous
Awesome video! Well done! Keep'em coming please!!
Like Carl says, I just couldn’t buy a bike I don’t like the look of… hoping the R9 comes up trumps in that department
yep 14 model started with very ordinary suspension some dodgey low throttle mapping and a screen really added something but was somehow a good bike , so I'm glad it evolved sooo nicely
Strange comment about the gen 1, gen 2 bikes . Besides the cheap shock and fork internals, they are amazing bikes.
i had the Tracer 9 2024, amazing engine ,handling , very sharp! I chose the Tracer coz the mt09 was small for me ,but im sure that mt09 is amazing bike too !
Nice presentation, but I question the rating of aftermarket tires/accessories as part of the review. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, makes absolutely no sense.
"The thing I like about this bike is the tires that don't come on it".
Love these vids, great job, chaps!
Fantastic bike
Best in class
Can’t be beaten as a complete packaged road bike
I've got the original 2015 MT09, & while it's a great commuter bike I've never been happy out on the open road with it, & that's even after changing & tuning suspension, changing brakes & changing the Bars to get it lower over the front end, to be honest the only thing I haven't changed is the frame...... But that engine dose have some great pulling power & its reliable 70k & it never misses a beat.,
I have a 2015 and I found flatter bars , the later 2018 comfort seat, Gsxr 600 rear shock and k tech fork springs sorted it to near perfect. Great bike.
Ducati refusing to implement cruise control on the Supersport 950 feels almost spiteful. It’s such a mystery to me.
saying the headlights are bad is a pretty big hit, to me. the way i look at it, if they don't illuminate the road very well, then that's a pretty good indication that they're not shining in anyone's eyes very well either. meaning you're not showing up as brightly in their mirrors. and it makes a huge difference with how often people will pull out in front of you on the highway.
Great review by the young lad ,knows what he,s talking about .Had an MT 10 , great bike but the looks made me get rid in the end . Would love that xsr900gp in my garage . Great format Neevesy , really watchable 🏁🏍️🇮🇲
Love the xsr700
I thought it was the only bike I'd ever need... Then I quickly discovered it wasn't a good match for my personality. Welcome the ZX-4RR 🚀
Love the comments on the tyres since I just put them on my VFR 800. , !4 litres sort it rules it out in some parts of Australia. Especially if you are used to 21 litres on the VFR,
Only thing that turns me off is the small tank and range
I would love to know what budget you guys have to modify your long termers
Could never buy this bike knowing there's a SUZUKI g s x s1000 out there with that legendary motor, Perhaps the best motor any motorcycle has ever received.SORRY YAMAHA .
"You've never been old enough to use a tank bag" 😂 Great review btw!
Hopefully the Gen 5 MT09 Has Apple Carplay/Android Auto with a smaller bezels on the screen.
Loving they Grey/Cyan paint scheme on the Gen 4. Looks better than the Gen 3 but the Gen 2 has my heart
love this subtle sense of humor )
Actually don't think the new one looks *that* bad to be honest. Especially in SP colours.
Wish they’d change the colours.
Looks amazing! Just not the blue wheels! I’d just spray them black!
I’ll take the 2024 GSX S1000 thank you! 😉
The Suzuki is more of a match up to the MT10 which in that case I'm going with the MT10.
Are there any annoying high-frequency vibrations?
mine is older and it is super smooth. pegs vibrate when chain needs adjusting.
Great review! Waht Metzeler tyres are these?
Roadtec 02
Awesome video! Garage wood!!!! I'm definitely remembering that. 🤣 Actually I like the looks. And I think it's a very approachable bike for around town and commutes. I would definitely get the SP version. 2024 version is my favorite. Best!
Would be nice now to make a comparison to triumph 765 rs
Why didn't you include the final question as usual? "would you buy it?"
What screen is that?
I have 2017 MT-09. Love it. Its pretty wild. But probably get a bigger bike for Touring. Kawasaki SX 1000
You might or might not like how it looks but either way nobody can deny its a mess, Exhaust and front mudguard are horrible and none of the main parts gel with each other.
these guys yap on about the bars but you compare this to any other naked and it is so upright it feels like my tracer. My f900r is so much further forward and lower i had to get risers and its still way more aggresive. striple is waaaay different, feels like you are over the headlight.
I wanted a Mk1 when it came out, but I never got one.
Too old for the XSR 900 at 29 years old. 49 years old here and been riding the XSR 900 on long days just fine 😀
I'm 72 and ride my xsr 900.
i dont like the frame and the tank. the frame is ordinary and the fuel tank is ugly....i think
I like how it looks but after test riding it on track, I prefer the 990 duke
Great bike, but I still prefer the Street Triple in this class.
Couldn’t live with those looks especially compared to a Street Triple 765, Triumph’s much nicer finish too …
Yamaha should have given the standard exhaust of the MT10 to the 09. That heap of unfinished metal called a muffler looks horrid.
_Because you couldn't afford the Street Triple 765 RS_
MT's are like herpes in Australia, everyones got them. Would prefer a sportsbike over comfort
XSR900 for me
Same, got the
Legend blue 23 and it’s the best bike I’ve ridden
It doesn't have speakers, they are grilles for induction noise. Come on guys, expect more from you especially with such a controversial thing!
This is from the MCN website! By Ben Purvis
“The new MT-09’s sound is further amplified by a revised airbox featuring two newly designed air-intake ducts, which accentuate the high frequency sounds while maintaining a linear throttle response.
“This sound is then emphasized, especially at higher speed and revs, by the introduction of a new acoustic amplifier grille on top of the bike, delivering the CP3’s vibrant note directly to the rider.”
"There are no speakers though. Those grilles are the visible exits of a convoluted passage that leads directly to an opening in the top of the airbox, allowing the noise from the intake to be channeled out, directing it straight up through the grilles towards the rider without increasing outright volume."
Sounds( no pun intended 😊) like speakers to me 😉
@@dougalmanzar "A speaker is a device that converts electrical signals into sound waves."
@@Druezy so…they aren’t speakers yet do exactly what speakers -amplify sound 🔊 ! Brilliant! 🤣😂
@dougalmanzar What a dumb thing to say. I'm sure you use a sword to cut your steak too? Apparently all exhausts are speakers by your logic.
@@Druezy so absorbed in your nonsensical rant that you didn’t realize you were being made fun of 🤣😂 🤡 💯
Ugliest exhaust ever?
The MT-09 is the kind of bike I'd buy to ride at night... 'cause that way when I turn around to look at it, I wouldn't be able to see it and ruin the experience!.
Always wonder why there isn't a r9
All you need is a Honda Blackbird.
I am not a fan of the pre wrecked front end look.
But looks hideous. Deal breaker. You have to like how your bike looks.
2025 YAMAHA YZF-R9 ❤❤
359 Howe Track
Why I bought the GSA smh. Maybe some day…
My next bike was between this and street twin,triumphs mess up of the update means its the mt09 for me
2 very different bikes! How did the mess up the street twin update, and why not a street triple?
6:08 Speakers for engine sounds? If so, I find that utterly silly.
@@stefanhansen5882 there are sound limits now with exhaust systems, so Yamaha is getting creative with providing some additional sound to the rider. It actually works.
@@churchofbrap876 I know. I find it funny and silly.
Headlight is bad? Try a 6 volt system like my old BSA M21 had!!!
Mt09 is like a good girl without looks.
Well i want both. So a skip for me
Guy is hanging off the bike like if it was Toprak, where speed limit is probably 40mph... 😅
I can never watch your vids, you’re the only one that doesn’t have subtitles. Why???
Why is that young boy saying so many inaccuracies?
29 lol not young at all.
@@dreamcrusher112 29 is very young, and most people at this age still haven't fully matured.
How hard is it to understand that they need to bring back 2020 looks? ffs
Who’s Alcoholic Chris!😂
I own a 2024 tracer. I've ridden the earlier models of MT09 range, and I love it. My question still stands. How do manufacturers get it so wrong on the first model?
PMSL Yamaha keep phoning, I keep hanging up!!!
Superduke 1290r is the one, definitely not MT09!
I commute in to London five days a week and have mt07's and 09's trying to race me all the time they are annoying and sound shite
Its a perfect bike....except that headlight..🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
How do these large motorcycle manufactueres, with all the technology and knowledge at their fingertips, make a bike so badly, like the MT09's first bike? Then it takes years to get it right?
Clearly you’ve never ridden one, I have an early bike and it’s brilliant, my favourite bike out of a stable of 7 bikes including a Gsxr1000 and a Panigale.
The first generation always looks bad in hindsight. However, at the time of launch, it's always at the cutting edge. Also, people have a budget. That is why Ducati looks nice but costs so much, if all bikes looked and were amazing, no one would afford them.
Sorry. I'm talking about the handling. It wasn't good, for the first few models.
Too much plastic looks for me is a big thing this isn't a looker , front end is an appalling design ,, I wouldn't buy one on looks alone,
Speakers? I never thought I'd see that on a Yamaha... especially a middleweight naked.
They aren't speakers, they are just openings so you get more induction noise. I'm so surprised by this error from them!
I have a suspicion that Stevens is actually a bit thick. I like him, but he is quite thick......
In my old age of 29 “really old” 😂😂 michael may have lost his youthfulness but not his sense of humour , good one old fart 👍🏻
I don't agree. I have the gen 3 and I test rode the gen 4 and after a hour I knew I wanted to keep my gen 3. Cruise control is nice and the TFT screen but not worth the upgrade.
Guy in the left: Talks...
Guy in the right: mmmm, yeah...
So fucking annoying!
Mmm, yeah…
“Partner on the back”
Whats his name?
Bahahahahahaha
SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. SUBTITLES. And how is it that literally any video you guys make never gets any feedback? Like ever. Isn't anyone interested in your viewer's opinions? Your video elements, however well shot get pumped onto TH-cam and forgotten about. You are supposed to be the bastion. We buy the paper. We read the paper. And yet you insist on shunting out the digital aspect with seemingly no understanding of how it works. If Bennetts had a paper guys, they'd eat your lunch. Ride off. Then come back. And then drink your pints.
Garage wood!!! 21:00
Awesome bike but that exhaust is hideous!
