You gonna try the new MT09, way back when we got the R3 at the same time, got the new mt09, but wondered what the old ones were like, have rode for 26 years, but don't want to spend a ton on my toys
I've ridden a z900 and street triple, I own a 2019 mt-09. The other bikes are great fun and may have more impressive spec sheets, but for me nothing beat the character of the fz-09 and its engine. It is absolutely a goon bike, but I daily ride mine and it is 100% manageable.
Before I bought my 2018 mt-09 , I tried the Z-900 (2018) and I had the impression that the plastic are even cheaper than on the mt-09. I really don't agree with that part of the video. But handling is not really great in highspeed turns, the rear shock needs to be changed.
As someone who went from dirtbikes to a fz09 as a 1st bike this bike does it all I've taken it down dirt roads long road trips and carved the dragon and blue ridge parkway...its an absolute hooligan machine but thats the joy of it I've let other ride it and it scares em it still scares me but I love it its my forever bike
nice to read it, i've been riding dirt bikes for year and im looking at getting a 2015 fz09 as a first bike. i don't want to go with a fz07 because it only has 14hp more than my current dirt bike and weights 200lbs more. kinda looking at something more powerful than what i've been riding for years already.
Yam, I'm so proud of you for how your career has succeeded. Ad-pocalypse was the death for a lot of my favorite motovloggers, Snowcat, DIWD, and others. Around the same time you had a horrific crash and have bounced back better than anyone can dream of. I love every video you publish even as an experienced rider watching something designed for the new guys. Keep up the great work. Maybe reach out to C2W and maybe collaborate sometime on some first rides and even track days, I've never seen that guy on a track. To comment on the actual video, I feel like the KTM and the Triumph is comparable to a car enthusiast buying anything German. They are designed to be as good as a vehicle can be.... briefly. IMO the MT-09 is sway more attractive that the 2021 model. If I were to buy an MT-09 today it would be the 2020 or before. the new one is butt-ugly and IDC how advanced it is. in fact this year I plan on trading up from my MT-07 to a Tracer 9 GT. I think a full windshield to protect the rider from bug-strikes and cruise control is an often overlooked detail.
Honestly don't understand what their talking about when saying it feeling like it's going to fall apart while riding but it's ok. Great vid, great bike speaking from experience.
“Bring in our resident fast boi to explain it to me like I’m a 5 year old”. 😂. I love their relationship. Feel l like spite is my funcle and yammie is my favorite cousin.
Got at 2020 mt09 equiped with k-tech razor rr rear suspension, an kyb front suspension. Mapped and tuned to 132 bhp. An absolute blast - i love the bike :-) best regards from Denmark.
I REALLY like the z900, but...... If I had to make a choice for this class of bikes to own for myself.... I'd go with the Suzuki GSX-S750. I absolutely LOVE how that bike rides and sounds.
I rode a 2016 FZ09 demo bike several times here at Gingerman & Grattan raceway in Michigan. Fun bike, front wheel floating slightly coming out of every corner! Of course the front forks are soft as hell if you are 200 lbs+ but aside from that, I didnt have any bad things to say about it handling wise. Ergos felt pretty close to my 09' 650R, only took a few laps to get used to it. :)
I have a 16 FZ-09 and it's a fun bike, yes there is bikes with more features, but for the money, it's fun. I've done more than a few multi day mountain rides with it, and looking forward to many more.
I’ve heard hundreds of sports bikes in person, and to this day I swear nothing sounds better than an mt09 with full yoshi exhaust. It’s so mean and deep sounding.
Bought one new in 2014 still own it today and love it. have not fixed a single thing everyone complains about except for a more comfortable seat. I ride it all over the mountains of eastern TN. and we have a few corners around here. Sorry you guys dont like it but I love mine and your opinions dont seem to effect my enjoyment of the bike :)
The original 09 had a great motor, but was high up with hobby-horse suspension. Sounds like Yamaha is moving more in the Triumph direction for 2021 which this engine deserves.
The MT09 is my first bike , I absolutely love it , I can’t comment on the others but I find my 2020 is a well made and nicely made bike , but I suppose I’m just a noob
When Dave Moss set up the suspension on my MT-10, he mentioned the front end was too high from the factory. After adjustment, it is now a beast in the corner (for a naked bike).
I honestly love the way my fz handles I can get it on the way side of the tire and sure it walks and sways a bit but it's never really sketchy. If you let the bike do it's thing it'll eventually settle down.
The way I view it is the FZ/MT is a blue collar bike. It may not be as refined or pretty as it's white collar competition, but it gets the job done for people who don't need track features. And for the $$$ saved you can get custom suspension which is better than name brand but still factory stock stuff on other bikes. Edit: granted I got my '15 FZ09 for $3500 with only 2k miles through pure luck, but I still wouldn't feel as bad if I wrecked an FZ versus wrecking a Triumph.
I had the new street triple RS and although it’s “refined” enough, it was an absolute snooze fest when it came to character of the bike. (Some disagree). The older models had much more character which is what the MT09 brings. As for reliability, triumph is still far behind other manufacturers; riding in dry conditions only, maintained well and garage kept, problems with the bike would still arise. TFT display would completely break, quickshifter/blipper failing, traction control and abs failure, all consistent issues which unfortunately occurs often. I can’t wait to here peoples reviews on the new MT09 to see if it does indeed take any character away from the bike. Refine a bike too much and it becomes lifeless. Hopefully it still retains that character whilst introducing more options of riding style for the rider.
Just bought a 2021 as my first sport bike. I’ve only ever owned and ridden Harley’s so this is going to be a very new experience. I’ve wanted an MT-09 or 07 since 2015 and could never pull the trigger because of one of the dealerships that was so bad I walked out and uncertain how the suspension woes would be with my fat ass on it. Now that they have a new frame, geometry, 6 axis imu, added quality to things you touch. Figured it was time for me to finally experience the hype. Maybe if it’s good enough I will sell the Harley or trade it for a cheap daily.
My MT09 replaced a Tuono 1100. With some fork valves and a respring it is an excellent bike. As an Advanced riding Observer I do some milage on it as well. Will look at the new one when my current one hits 150,000 miles.
I've had bussas zx12 and atleast 1 1000 from every manufacturer over the years. Local dealer has a 21 I'm interested in but do not allow test rides. Is it worth my while?
I started riding on a chopper for about 1000 miles. Sold it and got an mt07 for about 3000 miles. Thought i was ready for more and did a test ride on an mt09 and oh boy im not ready
Y'all are crazy, I have the 2020, and I've had a zx10, r1, and a naked kawasaki... That bike is by far the most fun. And it's a great commuter. I keep up with liter bikes through turns (street riding) and don't have any issues with the suspension. I literally can take on ramps and off ramps at 90-100 if I want to. That bike handles fine.
Guys FFS stop using the term 'cross plane' when referring to a 270° crank. There is nothing in a 270° crank setup that resembles cross plane. Nothing less than 4 cylinders can have a cross plane crank setup and that is at 90°.
I think you guys really under appreciate how most people want a reliable bike over some euro bike that will cost as much in maintenance over its lifetime as the cost and that people who only have one bike just want to get on and ride and not need more time spent on maintenance than in riding
Haha. I swear. I bought a 2020 mto9 today. And I put it in my garage next to my dad's versys 650. And we were cross comparing. Thought it was funny when yam said " riding to the office on a versys 650.. not that anyone would cross reference these two bikes"
Back in October 16, I was all set to purchase a 2014 Street Triple R at a multi franchise dealer near me after a couple of test rides. I thought it was fab coming from a 650 twin Kwacka and I really had a boner for the matt black with red accents paint on the one I was after. Which was a super low miles bike used in a movie apparently, they had 4 of them, it had a dented tank but they were going to replace it with a new one which was no biggie for a main Triumph agent. On my way out of the showroom I saw a brand new MT09 Sport Tracker on display. I really loved the look of it and was standing there a while looking at it. In a bike store that's equivalent of playing a 'can I help you riff' in a guitar shop and sure enough their Yamaha guy materialised out of nowhere. Ended up taking a test ride of their MT09 demonstrator upon the return from which I placed a deposit on the Sport Tracker I'd just been quietly jizzing over. Which I may add was almost an identical price to the used Triumph, for a brand new bike with warranties etc. Best way I can describe the difference is that the Triumph felt like a scalpel, cuts easily, surgically and with a minimum of fuss. I was bouncing off the limiter in a few gears during the 1st test ride and it was fast, no doubt. But like a scalpel should be, it was a little sterile because of it's ease to go fast real easy. It kinda rode itself, with amazing out of the box handling, made a great noise too and I liked it enough to very nearly buy one. Not slagging them off at all. In contrast, the MT09 nearly killed me three times on my test ride, scared the living crap out of me. Never got near the limiter, the ABS kicked in multiple times becase I was braking hard. Mainly though, It pulled like an absolute 8astard. However, at 80mph plus it felt like a jet powered pogo stick. Every corner or bend survived at 80 mph plus on a 2016 stock MT09 felt like a real achievement In comparison to the scalpel of a Triumph. I think of the Yamaha bike as a chainsaw, also cuts easily but makes a huge mess doing so and if you mishandle it then you're likely to accidentally end up minus a limb or two. SOLD! Now I don't know if this says something about my character or not, but I'm about to trade my 2016 Sport Tracker in for a 2022 MT10 in Tech Black after 5 happy years of ownership. Got a great trade in price. It's lost £2000 of value from new in 5 years, but she's almost completely pristine, with great add ons. Also, mine has the awesome (not at all road legal in UK) Akra carbon race can and straight through stainless headers, sounds like a frigging TIE fighter sometimes... or maybe that's just my imagination. We've been on some adventures and ended up in just the one ditch after a 3 mph spill (Don't go there.....) with somehow literally just the radiator as a casualty. Hilarious that this animal of a bike only ever came a cropper at such a low speed but still, it's time for something new. Gotta keep pushing that envelope and the new MT10 looks a hoot. It's an early 50th birthday present to myself. Also, I feel it's my duty to tell you Mr Spammy Boob that your moustache has to go in every comment I make on your videos. Peace.
I trust yamaha quality more then the other brands listed. It may not be as good on the track as a few but that's not what people are going to buy this bike.
I have a 2016 FZ-07 and that GSX-S750 gets no love 😂. They are a great deal, around me they go for less than 7 grand brand new. That's a lot of bike for the money.
My first bike was a honda cbr500 now i want to upgrade to the mt 09. And i dont think the handling is so bad for the street I think it just has a lot of power and pple overrated it :))
Saw the Euro Cycle and whoo boy, so here in Las Vegas we had Bike Night last night at the local Euro Cycle. Someone came flying in shit hot and slowed down, then suddenly some douchebag comes flying in in a red suv slams his brakes and almost hits a few bikes, at that moment said motorcycle fucking disappeared lol and out of the SUV jumps Mr Miagi ready to fucking go, turns out someone on a motorcycle possibly a scooter (his words) punched his mirror off because he blind turned into them. Yeah needless to say we all backed the random motorcyclist, all around great night. We'd love to have you guys come out one of these days if you ever want to visit sin city
I've sat on an mt09 and the only part that I didn't really like about the feel of it was the seat, it didn't sit as snugly as I'd like, but I guess that helps it to come off so justified I guess
I own an MT-09 and i disagree with your percieved perception about the bike. I have no problems cornering, power to weight is really good, fuel consumption is excellent. Alot of what you are saying about it is not well founded. Cheers from New Zealand
Very well explained, big impression on my test ride, snatchy throttle and something weird about the handling......my friend has really improved his with the suspension mods you mentioned, I’m happier with my 2006 FZ1N than I would be with this...... does that mean I’m a dinosaur?
It’s kind of not a competitor. It doesn’t really have any competition in the us anymore. It’s a competitor for the the old fz1 and z1000, which were different kinds of bikes in all actuality
Here is the challenge, find a bike for the price you found that mt09 that can replace it and do everything as well as the mt09 does.... That's why MT09 s are so popular, best combination of power, performance and value.
What do you guys think of the BMW F900R? The price and spec is quite comparable but seems to have so many things going for it. Seriously considering it
The best thing about the mt09 is that its a basic motorcycle with nothing it doesnt need..... at least the old was.. the new has so much tech on it that i have no use for..
coming from z1000 - >mt.09 all day all night(maybe lil slower, but i dont care, love the grunt and sound also), yeah the seat is shit but i made it softer and of some mods, its a GOD
I add the first MT09 Tracer. It was fun, but no way to "fix" it, even with aftermarket forks & shocks. There was always something wrong with the chassis
After about a year of research and testing I decided on the 2020 aprilia tuono factory and its amazing. Suspension is amazing, exhaust is perfect and its pretty comfortable for longer trips I'm 6'5 and 195 lbs and the seat seems like it sits higher then others. I like the Ducati street fighter v4s but it was about 5 grand more which I didnt think was worth it. Plus af1 racing had a heck of a deal of 0 down 0% interest. I pay just 350 a month for 60 months. All around its a great street bike you can take to the track and be full of confidence in every corner. Dont love the paint job on my 2020 its the atomic racer black but id recommend finding a 19 with the red wheels. Personaly thats my favorite paint scheme but it was more inticing to buy a new bike with no interest. Hope I could help buddy. Safe rides!
@@michaelmorrison8846 man I tell you I went to af1 for my 600 mile service and they had a preowned 2020 790 Duke there and it was really hard for me to not get it I love the way they look. So afterwards, I went to the ktm dealer which is like a mile down the road and looked at their 890r, if I wouldnt have just bought my tuono I would definitely be a proud owner of the 890r. Its a middle weight bike but in my opinion I say it's top tier. Here soon that'll be my second bike. It to is very confidence inspiring I dont think you can go wrong on either one, the 790 or 890r but I did hear someone say if you like the 790 Just go ahead and buy the 890
Refined=Boring, give me the fun factor. The rough, ready, edgey and cheap bike any day. The one with character, I ride for frills. The MT09-SP is the best of what you need.

“Hand job machine” lol
@Ryuseix Nope, It was a great quote and should be part of a Meme contest
I thought I was hearing wrong😹😹😹
Think I need a super duke
The limited edition comes (heh) with a handjob machine/built in full set of Manscaped stuff.
I intend to ask the Yamaha dealer about that feature. Seems like it could be useful for long rides.

I ❤ my 2018 MT09. Super fun bike. Great daily driver after an aftermarket seat replacement. It's also still better looking than the new model.
What kind of seat did you get?
I just bought an mt-09 and the main issue i have with the seat is that I'm sliding foreward when driving slowly....

Which was a super low miles bike used in a movie apparently, they had 4 of them, it had a dented tank but they were going to replace it with a new one which was no biggie for a main Triumph agent.
On my way out of the showroom I saw a brand new MT09 Sport Tracker on display. I really loved the look of it and was standing there a while looking at it. In a bike store that's equivalent of playing a 'can I help you riff' in a guitar shop and sure enough their Yamaha guy materialised out of nowhere. Ended up taking a test ride of their MT09 demonstrator upon the return from which I placed a deposit on the Sport Tracker I'd just been quietly jizzing over. Which I may add was almost an identical price to the used Triumph, for a brand new bike with warranties etc.
Best way I can describe the difference is that the Triumph felt like a scalpel, cuts easily, surgically and with a minimum of fuss. I was bouncing off the limiter in a few gears during the 1st test ride and it was fast, no doubt. But like a scalpel should be, it was a little sterile because of it's ease to go fast real easy. It kinda rode itself, with amazing out of the box handling, made a great noise too and I liked it enough to very nearly buy one. Not slagging them off at all.
In contrast, the MT09 nearly killed me three times on my test ride, scared the living crap out of me. Never got near the limiter, the ABS kicked in multiple times becase I was braking hard. Mainly though, It pulled like an absolute 8astard. However, at 80mph plus it felt like a jet powered pogo stick. Every corner or bend survived at 80 mph plus on a 2016 stock MT09 felt like a real achievement In comparison to the scalpel of a Triumph. I think of the Yamaha bike as a chainsaw, also cuts easily but makes a huge mess doing so and if you mishandle it then you're likely to accidentally end up minus a limb or two. SOLD!
Now I don't know if this says something about my character or not, but I'm about to trade my 2016 Sport Tracker in for a 2022 MT10 in Tech Black after 5 happy years of ownership. Got a great trade in price. It's lost £2000 of value from new in 5 years, but she's almost completely pristine, with great add ons. Also, mine has the awesome (not at all road legal in UK) Akra carbon race can and straight through stainless headers, sounds like a frigging TIE fighter sometimes... or maybe that's just my imagination. We've been on some adventures and ended up in just the one ditch after a 3 mph spill (Don't go there.....) with somehow literally just the radiator as a casualty. Hilarious that this animal of a bike only ever came a cropper at such a low speed but still, it's time for something new. Gotta keep pushing that envelope and the new MT10 looks a hoot. It's an early 50th birthday present to myself. Also, I feel it's my duty to tell you Mr Spammy Boob that your moustache has to go in every comment I make on your videos. Peace.
8:24 Spite, let's not talk about Bangs while showing that massive banana exhaust right underneath where our bum is supposed to be.
Hi! Do you plan to make any reviews of MT09 2021 SP?
Really wish it had a better display
I trust yamaha quality more then the other brands listed. It may not be as good on the track as a few but that's not what people are going to buy this bike.
What we really need is a Svartpilen 901.
The day that bike gets here I'm buying it!
Well, it's out... Did you get it? @@James_765
I have a 2016 FZ-07 and that GSX-S750 gets no love 😂. They are a great deal, around me they go for less than 7 grand brand new. That's a lot of bike for the money.
When are you guys gonna check out the new Triumph Trident 660
My first bike was a honda cbr500 now i want to upgrade to the mt 09.
And i dont think the handling is so bad for the street
I think it just has a lot of power and pple overrated it :))
Saw the Euro Cycle and whoo boy, so here in Las Vegas we had Bike Night last night at the local Euro Cycle. Someone came flying in shit hot and slowed down, then suddenly some douchebag comes flying in in a red suv slams his brakes and almost hits a few bikes, at that moment said motorcycle fucking disappeared lol and out of the SUV jumps Mr Miagi ready to fucking go, turns out someone on a motorcycle possibly a scooter (his words) punched his mirror off because he blind turned into them.
Yeah needless to say we all backed the random motorcyclist, all around great night. We'd love to have you guys come out one of these days if you ever want to visit sin city
I've sat on an mt09 and the only part that I didn't really like about the feel of it was the seat, it didn't sit as snugly as I'd like, but I guess that helps it to come off so justified I guess
KTM Dukes: Super fun everytime you ride...when it's not in the shop. Which it will be... a lot. Trading mine in for an MT-09 or Z800/900
Gotta give this a test ride. Been a cruiser/sportster bro, kinda looking to expand my style. But YAMMES! Review the new Hyobooooooosa brooooooo 😎
I own an MT-09 and i disagree with your percieved perception about the bike. I have no problems cornering, power to weight is really good, fuel consumption is excellent. Alot of what you are saying about it is not well founded. Cheers from New Zealand
Damn straight 👍
Very well explained, big impression on my test ride, snatchy throttle and something weird about the handling......my friend has really improved his with the suspension mods you mentioned, I’m happier with my 2006 FZ1N than I would be with this...... does that mean I’m a dinosaur?
Forgot to mention the CB1000R in the competitor section but still a great vid as usual ✊
It’s kind of not a competitor. It doesn’t really have any competition in the us anymore. It’s a competitor for the the old fz1 and z1000, which were different kinds of bikes in all actuality
*That Original MT09 is my dream bike* ❤
8:13 🤔
LMAO
You guys planning on reviewing the 2022 Hayabusa? Just saw the ad for it today.
Here is the challenge, find a bike for the price you found that mt09 that can replace it and do everything as well as the mt09 does.... That's why MT09 s are so popular, best combination of power, performance and value.
love how 3 minutes of the video is just advertising jesus christ
There’s like 5 or 6 people making a living on this channel, what do you expect
Makes me want to not buy the product they are advertising even more...
Love my MT09... but agree totally with you guys. This bike has a certain set of skills and I don't recommend it for beginners at all
Sooo if im rinding an R1 as my daily to work, this would be considered a smarter idea?
Tried and raced z900 , its a doll comparing to mt09, its better, more fun, harder pulls 10/10 and soo sext
I might get trashed for this but I think the GSX-S 750 It's a very very worthy competitor and it's way cheaper.
Right, they sound sick while being absolute screamers like a naked r6 if you know what I mean with the high rpm power and at a cheaper price
What do you guys think of the BMW F900R? The price and spec is quite comparable but seems to have so many things going for it. Seriously considering it
It's well specked but the motor lacks charisma and power next to the competition.
Hey y'all I came late to this party but I had a blast sharing the breakdown with y’all 😉
3:52 x2, 9:38,
Anyone notices how he just stealth listed a "handjob machine" as a KTM feature at 8:13? xD Sneaky bastard!
when’s the mt09 sp review coming?
Did Spite say a “hand job” machine? I gotta check out KTM.
The best thing about the mt09 is that its a basic motorcycle with nothing it doesnt need..... at least the old was.. the new has so much tech on it that i have no use for..
coming from z1000 - >mt.09 all day all night(maybe lil slower, but i dont care, love the grunt and sound also),
yeah the seat is shit but i made it softer and of some mods, its a GOD
That ktm comes with a hand job machine?!
Sold....
just went to yamaha dealership today having a hard time deciding which one i should get MT 09 or MT 10.
Is there any chance to win any of those bikes if we are from another country ??...cauz they both look really good & winning 1 would make my day.
I add the first MT09 Tracer. It was fun, but no way to "fix" it, even with aftermarket forks & shocks. There was always something wrong with the chassis
MT09 or Z900? Any thoughts?
What naked style bike should I get for a daily driver price isn't a huge concern
After about a year of research and testing I decided on the 2020 aprilia tuono factory and its amazing. Suspension is amazing, exhaust is perfect and its pretty comfortable for longer trips I'm 6'5 and 195 lbs and the seat seems like it sits higher then others. I like the Ducati street fighter v4s but it was about 5 grand more which I didnt think was worth it. Plus af1 racing had a heck of a deal of 0 down 0% interest. I pay just 350 a month for 60 months. All around its a great street bike you can take to the track and be full of confidence in every corner. Dont love the paint job on my 2020 its the atomic racer black but id recommend finding a 19 with the red wheels. Personaly thats my favorite paint scheme but it was more inticing to buy a new bike with no interest. Hope I could help buddy. Safe rides!
@@mysticherbalist1029 what do you think about the 890 duke r
@@michaelmorrison8846 man I tell you I went to af1 for my 600 mile service and they had a preowned 2020 790 Duke there and it was really hard for me to not get it I love the way they look. So afterwards, I went to the ktm dealer which is like a mile down the road and looked at their 890r, if I wouldnt have just bought my tuono I would definitely be a proud owner of the 890r. Its a middle weight bike but in my opinion I say it's top tier. Here soon that'll be my second bike. It to is very confidence inspiring I dont think you can go wrong on either one, the 790 or 890r but I did hear someone say if you like the 790 Just go ahead and buy the 890
@@mysticherbalist1029 yeah I definitely don't wanna get the smaller cc then regret not having as much power
@@mysticherbalist1029 right now I have a 1973 yamaha tx650 it's a good bike but very slow cause it's old
Refined=Boring, give me the fun factor. The rough, ready, edgey and cheap bike any day. The one with character, I ride for frills. The MT09-SP is the best of what you need.
8:14 - Tell me more about this feature
Quickshifter/auto blipper come as standard on the Street triple R.
Ummmm, did I see a husky svartpilen 701 in the garage! Papa yam I need more of this Contant!!!!!!
Pretty sure it belongs to Whitney and not a giveaway bike
Yam do you know about the dominar 400 ??
