Things You Didn't Know: If you take this on test ride and think to yourself "How easy is it to get the front wheel up?" and proceed to "give it a bit of gas" you could very well be on your ass in half a second. Source: Me, almost wrecking an MT-09 1 minute into testing one.
How bad at riding are you? I try to wheely (only being held back by my skill and experience) and honestly find it HARD to lift the front wheel, I know I can easily lift the wheel and loop it, but riding without wheeling is prettying easy
Too bad Yamaha decided to destroy the MT-09's design with the 2021 model. I hope they redo the design making it more in line on what the 2nd gen design have. After all it's the 2nd gen design that makes the MT-09 unique and the headlight of the MT-09 is the icon of the MT series to be honest.
Whilst I know it's a big jump from a small 125cc, I'm 6,3 and 120kg and I have heard the leg space on the mt07 is small for tall people. I'll respect the throttle.
@@TURBOTWINKIE New frame, 50% higher frame rigidity, shorter forks, weight bias more forward, Ohlins rear, forged wheels, 6-axis IMU, cruise control, etc. should be a winner I'd say.

Yep I agree, not the biggest fan of the new design
yes,gotta agree there,2nd gen is a design icon,looks pure evil.i cant understand why yamaha have messed it up with the newer model,its a disaster.
if not for the dick looking headlight i would have bought the new mt09sp model
When I saw what Yamaha was doing to the MT-09 for 2021, I instantly rushed out and got my black 2020. So glad I did that.
just purchased my first big bike being the a 2017 MT 09 as an upgrade from my CB125R neo cafe racer, Cant wait for the weather to improve

"Thanks for bending over..." lmao 😂 Truth 100%
Hey Turbo whats up with the videos men?
Love your channel, peace ✌
A little hard to make them with snow outside, I’ll have one more coming out next week :)
Good vid , do u still have your MT 10 ?
does the mt09 have the same stock levers as other bikes? like the yamaha R3?
does this older version mt09 comes with cruise control??
no
only if you keep your hand steady on the throttle 😀
Screen and mirrors please
What happened to your MT10?
It’s in the garage, waiting for the snow to melt :( I had some footage left over so I made a vid about the mt-09
Big fan in India
Thank you!
It's not true this for keys, mt09 have normal keys dude :)
Got a 2018. Going to upgrade to 890cc 2021 SP model (USA) if this year pans out "tolerable" with all the political crap going on.
Hopefully that one handles a bit better than the older models
