Having always had 1000cc bikes, i tried this MT09 SP last April and never looked back. This bike is a absolute blast and not once have i missed the 30-50 extra BHP i have had previously on bikes the last been a GSX 1000 GT. I get between 47-52 mpg depending how i ride, tank range about 140-150. The S22 tyres are really good, but rear one's last about 2000-2500 miles. Bought the SW Moto Blaze saddle bags (£349 including fixing kit) for mine and even been touring on it. And now a triple convert! Great bike/Great value.
Thanks for the comment mate, as you said you dont notice and fall short with the engine, there isn't an area where you are wanting more that something bigger could provide, again Yamaha have done a great job. Enjoy your ride mate.
Doesn't the reported numb brakes bother you?
@@512460 No numb brakes on mine, the slightly light front end took a little getting used to, but in all honesty, it’s an awesome bike, that just puts a massive grin on your face.
@@3kdn nice to hear
@@512460 I had 0 issues with the brakes on the SP. I know my MT10 had wooden feeling brakes and it was the first upgrade on the list back when I had it.
That is a great bike , your editing is superb and really appreciate your opinion on all your bikes reviews ❤ thanks
wow thanks Carlton. Glad you're enjoying the videos, always nice to hear 😁. New demos start coming out end of Feb/march, this winter time can't go quick enough 🙂
Very nice bike, my nephew's got one, very nice engine soundtrack my 2nd choice, my Aprilia tuono v4 in my humble opinion can't be beaten, ride safe 👍
I used to own the tuono as well. Without a doubt that has the best stock sound. Especially when the flapper valve opened up. Man I miss that bike 😁
Just bought a 2023 mt09sp, I love looking at the bike😍there is 2 kind of people ,either they love the bike and headlight or they hate the headlight 😂
Either way its a great bike, enjoy riding it mate, im not jealous at all :)
Nice to see you enjoying yourself on the test ride.looks like a fun bike.
Cheers mate. Some bikes you just gel with nicely and they are easy to ride. This was definitely one of them bikes. 🤙
@@DSR1YTkyb not ohlins on the front mate!😂
@@mart7798 ah man, I thought it was Shimano suspension ?
@@DSR1YT i see you was getting some comments on it.thought id join in.did check yesterday as i thought they were kyb,but i thought it wasnt worth mentioning.
@@mart7798 Hay at least you guys keep me on the straight and narrow. Luckily im not a paid Yamaha rep and mistakes can be made 😁
Great video 👍 love my 09 the only gripe I have is the silly fuel gauge and tank size but apart from them it's a great fun bike to ride 👍 the difference is cruise/suspension and colours
its funny, when I got my MT10 new I went standard and didn't really think about the SP, but with MT09 I would definitely go SP. Fuel range is always an issue with the MT line up haha. But not as bad as what my Aprilia was :P
KYB front forks, not Ohlin. I have a 2022 MT-09 SP and agree it’s a brilliant bike.
Yeah seen my mistake yesterday. Too late now 😁🤦🏻. Still a great bike and great suspension. 🤙
Love the video ! Just a mention, I noticed you leave your feet flared out and rest on the heel? Just be careful with that
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Thanks for the concern 😁. I ride duck foot when I’m just casually riding. Then when I’m going to have some fun I put my toes on the foot pegs don’t worry 😆🤙
@@DSR1YT love that, safe riding man!
Constantly looking at this… and the mt10. The extra 40hp of the mt10 is so tempting
Stop it, you have enough bikes lol. If you want to donate one to me I would love you forever ;) Pretty please, for a fellow Scotsman hahaha
What about he lends one to me for a long term review bike 😁
I had the mt10 for 4 years and loved it. Awesome bike. Awesome engine. You wouldn’t be disappointed with either to be fair though.
@@DSR1YT I do love the MT09-SP, it is on my shortlist for a new bike.
@@Chuubs If I was in the market for a naked bike I think id go for this too
Great bike definitely considering a 2024 sp
You won’t be making the wrong choice that’s for sure 😁
It's KYB forks, ohlins only on the rear
Well spotted mate. You’re 💯 right. I’ll do better next time 😁
Engine braking? Are you saying there is setting for this Gen 3 mt engine braking .. I had 2016 model decel engine braking off throttle changing gears was one of the things I didn't like about mt until I I got flash and quickshifter up the box.. Helped engine braking and decel this is good to know..
Brilliant engine but the ergonomics are way too upright for sporty twisty riding. And I could not get the suspension to work for me at all at 66kg without gear... Went back to the MT10sp with zero regrets. If the new version is 'sportier' in ergonomics, I could definitely be tempted... That motor is so much fun and sounds brilliant with an Akra full system!
Will have to wait and see if they've made any decent improvements this year, glad you're still in the MT line up though. Enjoy your 10 mate.
A bold claim, the best naked, i do like my 1290 SDR, but must admit this bike has almost tempted me to buy
aha, if its tempted you elsewhere then my statement may be correct 😆. the SDR is a great bike, but can be hard to tame in certain situations 😀
Not only the best naked but the best value. Not keen on the colour. Nick
Would you go for a standard colour over the SP colouring then?
@@DSR1YT Yes.
i realy doubt if i should go for the 2023 gen3 or the 2024 gen4 model.
The price difference will be pretty huge honestly, i've seen used/last year models going around 8-9k on the MT09SP yet the 2024 is around 12k. Is it really worth 3-4k? not for me anyway.
@@Mancastle that's it mate, got to see if the improvements are worth the extra cash dollar.
@@Mancastlehowever in that 8-9k price bracket I chose the bmw s1000r instead. however if the Mt09 sp could be found for 6-7k it would've most likely picked the Mt09 sp
Better than the street triple?
I’ve not managed to get on the 765r yet, I’ll hold my final verdict till I do 😁
4:24 @@DSR1YTmy decision came down to the Street Triple versus the MT09. I preferred the Triumph, but you can't go wrong with either. I like wringing an engine out so the higher rev limiter and power band better suited my style. However, I felt the STRS felt far more nimble, and thats not saying the 09 is a bad ride! You should definitely ride one if you can, id watch that video
I'll hopefully be heading to my triumph / KTM dealer soon to test out the new 1390, ill see what triumph demos they have going :)
I love my MT10. But I did consider the MT09. Like you said, Yamaha slipped up on the headlight design on both bikes 😫.
Buy yeah, the 10 is a thirsty girl, but worth it!
It's not miles per gallon it's smiles per gallon!
you got wrong mate, its smiles per miles 😄. Fuel range and rear tyres was the biggest thing with me, always getting through rears very quickly 🤣. Dont know why though
@@DSR1YT yeah, I wonder 👀
🤐
Needs to be black. Silver is so ugly.
id have to disagree with you there mate, in the SP colours this bike looks great, im not a fan of the standard MT09 in Tech black.
