After a bit of research, I test rode a lightly used 2021 MT-09 (standard version). I bought it that day. I've been riding for close to 50 years, I have never ridden such a fun bike!
I have the standard '21 MT-09, and it has been a blast. I am finally comfortable trusting the IMU to manage the front wheel when doing wheelies. The thought that crosses my mind every time I finish a ride is, "That bike is f'ing crazy."
Same bro, love it. To bad its winter in Canada. Im stuck waiting half a fucking year to ride every year.
Haha exactly everytime I get off mine I'm like damn that shits crazy😂
Hands down the most fun bike I’ve ever owned…I waited 11 months for my 21 mt09 (non sp) to come in but it was so worth the wait. I have a little over 1000 miles now and once the engine is done the break in, it rips. All of the rider aids are perfect. I can’t say one bad thing about it honestly. Just get a sh*t eating every time I twist that throttle. Lol.
@@TheChewbaca69 I feel your pain
Does the imu stops you from tipping over in a wheele?
This is the best or one of the best review I have seen on the MT-09. I have watched a lot of reviews on the MT-09 seriously considering buying one now. Just cannot make up my mind up between the XSR 900 22 model and the MT-09 22 model. Thanks for the excellent review. Cheers from Melbourne Australia👍
OC: Absolutely nailed it! I was lucky enough to find one of three available SP's in the country about an hour away at the time when you released the first ride. Immediately threw down that deposit and was riding it home 150mi and riding it everyday for the past 3 weeks. Love this thing to death and doubt I could think of a bike that would replace it. Great content and summary of it up to this point! Looking forward to more
Its such a good bike I love min.
I could think of one: '22 XSR900. Has all the electronics and cruise standard for less money, probably more stable with longer swingarm and slightly lower headstock. I think it looks better too. Suspension? Meh, pop in new cartridges and a shock.
I have the standard mt09 and it's on point for day to day riding, everything just seems so easy, what an engine 👍
With the base version being only $1600 less than the SP I can't see how anyone can justify going for the former. The suspension on the SP is so much better and the difference cruise control makes on pretty much any riding scenario is so obvious that it's just illogical.
@@gregbonham8659 if I wanted to cruise I would get on a boat not an mt09 👍 availability in the uk is not great and was shocking 6 months ago so all thing's considered just getting your hands on an mt09 is a feat in itself, very pleased with mine.
@@mart2089 Good for you man. You still went for the wrong bike, though.
Oc looks cool, still brand new to the bike riding would love to try that one day
@@gregbonham8659 let him try to justify himself man cmon haha
I don’t own one yet but I’m looking into the 2022 and hopefully I can find one within the next month or so here to buy. Video was awesome and super helpful on my decision. Thanks man! Keep up the awesome vids!
Oc I thoroughly do enjoy the way you review bikes. I have to say the MT09 is a pretty solid bike for anybody beginner or intermediate or expert
I've bought the base model in orange/gray color in April. I absolutely love this bike!! Every time I ride, I have smile on my face. It has everything for every day riding bike. Very positive emotions!!
I was going for the MT-07, stopped in my local shop and bought the same bike you have. Love my MT-09! Yamaha calls the orange color "Fluorescent Red", I call it "Safety Orange".
I'm watching this in 2024. I'm about to pick up a leftover 2023 MT-09 SP for $9998. Seems like a deal too good to pass up. This review really sealed the deal for me.
Hahaha I saw the 2024s were delayed yesterday so I bought a 2023 SP model for a discount as well and here I am watching videos on it. Picking it up tomorrow! Can’t wait!! Hope you enjoy yours!
And you as well! I'd rather take the savings because I personally don't think the headlight is an upgrade plus it's heavier and the position is more aggressive which defeats the reason for me buying it.@@justinthomas3696
ur the best review so far... i really enjoyed watching this...from Malaysia..
Wonderfull review !
Very complete. You sold me the SP.
Thanks 👍
I have been riding a mt07 for 4 years now. Great bike. My next upgrade will be a Mt09 sp.
I just got off my sp 30 mins ago, im am sitting in living room with a massive smile on my face
OC: Yeah, I will have one in my garage eventually. There's no doubt. I am excited about the thought.
OC: Im waiting for the release of the R9. Your video gives me insight on how great the R9 promises to be. I'm imagining a more forward riding position, and an adjustable suspension with upgraded brakes. Your review of the MT-09 sets that bar pretty high. R9 will be my dream bike. Thx for your videos and insights
ive had both a 14 fz09 and now a 2021 mt09 and i can for sure say that when the R9 drops, it will shatter expectations
OC: I honestly think this is the perfect bike. I think I’ve said this on every video posted & it’s great to hear someone of your experience to agree. Worst/Best thing about this bike is the availability so not everyone can get one but if you have one you’re a rockstar 😈
OC: I got a base in blue and I agree with everything you said. A phenomenal bike for sure but had to pay a pretty penny to buy one since none were available in my state.
Agree w all of the above, excellent bike, been riding the 22 model, really great fun.
I'm currently saving up and hunting for one of these. I had a WR250, FZ-07, original FZ-09 and next is this bad boy. It seems like the perfect bike.
Good stuff!! I’m planning on picking one of these up when the 2023 model comes out! I really hope they have the 2021 color way available, I would prefer that over the 2022 color.
OC.
I can't wait for you to do a video comparing it to the new MT10 SP and if its worth all that extra money.
I added a steering damper to my 2022 mt09 sp and that my friends is something that you really need to do to your yamaha mt09. You're going to love it, it just changes the feel of the bike ( to 10x better). I always ride on mode 1 and the stability that the steering damper offers is amazing.
Great point!
Definitely come out with more MT09sp content please!! A cool video with a bunch of different camera angles would be great. Just you being a bit of a hooligan on it. I love your content on this bike! Thanks a bunch. PS.. How many miles have you put on this bike? Cheers!
OC: Been trying to find one and finally was able to put down a deposit and be the first on the list. Can’t wait. I’ve owned a gxsr, an R6 and a Street Glide. This will be the last bike I plan to purchase. Just wish it came with the tank color to match the rims.
I have an '18 that guy i bought it from spent RIDICULOUS amounts of money on, K-Tech suspension, best of everything, $7k in parts alone. Just got my new '21 on tues, it's REALLY good!
WOOT INTRO CREW!
(I’m starting a new movement…)
I support this.
OC: Just sold my 2017 FZ-10 and I’m looking for a good alternative bike! Definitely leaning towards this MT-09SP or the New 2022 XSR900! Hearing you say that it’s a proper opponent to the mighty MT-10 is notable! 😎
I have the 2019 MT09SP. Absolutely lovely bike - can't imagine life without it.
As soon as the 2021 and 2022 models were out, I was quite envious of the cruise control and the display but oh well, I still have the nice CP3 engine and quick shifter which makes up for it :)
hi fam question does it have cruise control?
I love these bikes. I have a 2017 FZ09 with about 500 miles. Keep deploying so she’s been sitting around for years. 😢😭
14:04 Fabulous commentary! Excellent review.
OC☆
The only thing that is very wrong with that bike is that you can't find it anywhere. I found one for sale $1000 lower than MSRP and went to buy it and from the time it took me to leave my house and get out to my Yamaha Dealer somone bought the bike. It had literally only been on sale for about 3 hours before it was sold.....🤬🤬🤬.... at this point I think I'll just wait for the 2022 MT10 and Hopefully we get the MT10SP I'm America because if you can afford it I really do think that will be the bike to have that you will never out grow and be very happy with for a very very long time.... and that sound ugh that sound is so beautiful from that MT10 engine. And now it's going to have all the wizbang electronics that you love about the MT09 SP and probably even some even better stuff like electronic shocks you can adjust on the fly or that adapt to riding style automatically.
Was that a lifted rally Porsche at about 5:20? haha love the vids man. Hoping to grab this 2022 mt09 in my area here in the next couple days
its a keeper of a bike, nimble and lots of fun
Bought one today, 2021, used, 9200km.. :D Extremely fun compared to my old ER-6n.
OC. I have the original FZ-09 so i would really like the new suspension. Did you adjust the suspension or leave it at factory settings? Would like to see a proper adjustment of the suspension.
OC: I think the MT09 SP is the best bang for your buck. I’d like to see a slightly bigger TFT, but that’s pretty much it. I like to see Yamaha make a good performance cruiser using that CP3.
All of this.
Also, wouldn't mind the regular model coming with cruise control.
'21 GSX-S1000 might be best bang for buck, with 150 hp and a 5 gallon tank.
@@exothermal.sprocket But with the GSX-S1000, you don’t get cruise control or an IMU.
@@twistieslayer3592 I realize that. I've had neither on the last 10 bikes I've been through.
@@exothermal.sprocket but when you finally get a bike that has one it changes your world
OC: so pumped, love mine even though its the BLmodel so much fun. Agreed on all points except that my butt tends to slide off the back of the seat under heavy acceleration and I am struggling to find an aftermarket seat currently available.
Owning a 2020 tracer 900 gt I have to agree on the fuel gage and the adjuster wheel. I've tackled the fuel gage with resetting my trip gage every time I refuel. Can't beat the cp3
I hope you get to do a review on the XSR 900. That’s what I’m getting next year.
I'm short and have a small body, but I really love how the MT09 even the old models feels lighter than other bikes.
I can ride it like crazy and still go slow anytime I like without stress.
The engine is 900c and is naked, but it does not get as hot as the Monster 821 which bakes my legs.
The speed and torque blows my mind that riding it in STD mode is the perfect mode for me.
What's wrong with the MT09 is I'm not a fan of its too much alien like look. I hope they mix the XSR and MT09 and aim it to younger riders like the CB650r and Trident 660. MT07 is just weird for me and SV650 feels old lol
great video , superb
Just placed one on order. Arriving Jan 2022. Australia.
The new xsr900 looks good too
OC. Just ordered a 2022 model, hope I like the new colour off it. As the 2021 is Sold out. It's my first bike 🤪 but I loved the test ride I did on it
It comes in a 22.885 $$ in Denmark 💸💸💸 💰
Yes, the answer is yes. it should be in your garage. OC: whats wrong....waiting for aftermarket post pandemic. PS: can we get a Altas 4.0 vs RF 1400 helmet review
The biggest thing wrong with the mt09 is it’s looks; otherwise it’s great which is why I might hold out for the r9
So I’m debating between an mt-09 and the ducati monster I see that you’ve rode both and was just looking for your opinion. Which was your favorite to ride? I am planning to test drive them both but just curious for other opinions
I just traded in my 2022 KLR650 for a 2021 MT09... I Love it.
Hi OC if your keeping the bike longer will you be using the same camera shots from your first ride ? How about more onboard 🇬🇧👍🏿
What about the 2022 MT-10? How does it compare to this bike??
OC: 0:20 Guaranteed! This is the only bike I want in my garage. Just one bike, the Yamaha MT-09SP. I'm sure it can handle a few nasty track days, city & highway riding as well as few technical sessions at the twisties at the mountains. There it is. An all purpose bike. I said it.
I recently rode most of the yamaha bikes such as Mt-03/07/09/10/SP and R3/7 Bolt only bike I liked was mt9 sp and 10. What I didn't like is all of the yamahas don't have turn signal canceling which is so annoying especially when your use to that feature. I hate canceling the signal after a turn. What I didn't like about the mt09 is the menu dial it so cheap and should be more user friendly. They also need to make the screen bigger and colored and make the modes more simpler and come with Bluetooth and USB charger.
Great Stuff! Please do a comparison between MT-10 and MT-09SP... and why exactly you'd pick one vs the other.
Mt10 is a different beast. Mt09 is definitely more tame. That r1 engine is no joke
09 has enough power for just about everything you can think of. It's satisfying power. It's not the kind of power where you sort of wish there was more there after a while, where you wish it would just go a little harder. No, it doesn't fail to surprise and entertain most every ride.
10 model has stupid power, will always be threatening to cancel your DL, get you big tickets, and will be less fun at legal speeds. You'll eat more tires, insurance will be higher, fuel consumption will be at least 15 mpg less, the heavier rotating mass in the engine and transmission (to withstand bigger power) will affect handling quickness side-to-side, you'll be less satisfied on every ride as you'll feel you spent a lot of money for a lot of power and you cannot use it much of the time. It can become psychological more than anything.
Finallllyyyy found a MT09 Cyan after 20 dealers up and down the east coast haha
5:15 thats a nice porsche
I was going to get one but the new XSR was announced. I love the styling so much more
I don't think the MT09 looks bad at all but I agree the XSR is just so gorgeous. Worth the wait for sure!
@@zombieRpoint34 it's just the front end I hate. Slap a mini screen on and good to go. XSR is still better looking to me. Definitely getting one this year!
@@zombieRpoint34 I think the mt09 would look better if the headlight was a bit lower. I would try changing it out for a round headlight.
Side note! @5:20 that Porsche is sick!
Lol came here to comment that same thing. I bet it rips off road
I was wondering if anyone else caught that
How are the lights during night time riding??
Enough said I’m gonna get my self one end of this year
OC - tank is too narrow for me to grip, street riding that is. MT10 is where it's at😏
Chase 'I've been riding (like a noob) for 10 years so I know what I'm doing' On Two Wheels.
Nice! Gonna be adding a 2022 XSR900 to our channel soon. Can't wait!
Love my 2019 MT09 -
Can't get any in the UK until May from my local Motorcycle Yamaha dealer , got to take the demo out for a test ride, their demo is the SP , hopefully they might sell that...
Waited four months for one. I'll check back in the spring. I had to buy a new car and I'm in the middle of getting a house. Priorities..
I was between a new XSR900 and this bike about 3 weeks ago and ended up with a new 23 SP because I scored a sick deal! I was looking at used Tuono 1100RR's and BMW S1000R's but decided I would rather go with another Japanese bike brand new and not have to worry about the common issues with Euro bikes. So far this thing has been a blast on curvy back roads. My other bike is a 22 GSX-S 1000GT, which I also love. I would love to get rid of the chrome stem nut though. Just added a 12" Lorababer tinted windscreen and ordered T Rex radiator guard and tail tidy. I decided against the XSR due to the seat and reading about racer who bought that Brembo master from the XSR and installed it on his SP. He noticed little to no difference. The front brake on the SP is pretty good for a Japanese bike. I may upgrade to Vesrah pads just to see.
OC: Only complaints with my 21 SP are what you mentioned. Turning radius at walking speeds, thumb wheel could be a little easier to operate, dash menus look a little too basic. Nothing a big deal at all. Everything else is perfect.
I agree. I have a 2021 standard version as my local dealer has never received an SP version. The only other thing for me is that the front turn signal mounting is very fragile. My right, front turn signal has been disconnected from the mounting for months and I can't seem to get a replacement part from Yamaha. Otherwise I agree with Chase on how great a package this bike is.
I want an mt07 as my first bike, is it stupid to think the mt09 in mode 4 would be the same 'beginner' bike, would save upgrading the mt07 after a year or so ?
I still got my FZ 09 from 2014. I've ridden newer versions, but not the new new one. So far, I like them but I still like mine enough to not want to change it. I have 50,000 miles on mine, 5 track days and a a few low sides and I still love it!
The redesigned engine found on the 2021+ MT09 models are way smoother and more powerful. It's a drastic change in power delivery. Yamaha also refined some features on the 2021+ models as well. I would want to get the newer models simply for the engine. I had a 2017 FZ09...sold it for a 2017 Z900. I still like the Z900's engine way more, but the newer MT09 is a better package than the Z900. The transmission, brakes, and suspension is way more refined on the MT09.
OC: Turn radius is a bummer
I'm waiting for the R9! Was getting this but just heard that the R9 is identical with clipons & fairings! Sign me up
nice video, mate 🔥
Thumbs up and keep it up !
KUKI
Oc: mt09 sp is a awesome bike I prefer the stylings of the r1 better but when I upgrade from my r3 I’ll probably go mt09 … just need to change those mirrors and get a tail tidy stat :p
Have they sorted out the snatchy throttle as my 2014 was only rideable until I had it remapped
Just got a 2022 in Central Pennsylvania (Manheim). Only one though! Gotta act fast.
OC: what's wrong with it? Nit picking: I found if I don't hit the shifter down with enough force from 2nd to 1st, it hits neutral. Outside of that, nothing more than what you've mentioned. I love mines. I go to the garage and hang out with it when I'm not riding it.
5:23 the Porsche was beautiful
OC... MT09SP.... what's up with that Cayman off-road custom at 5:20. LOL. I think you need that for your camera car.
Does it wobble like my09 that much? Sp seems like a better choice 👍👍
I'm gonna buy one
OC had an fz07 when I lived in north Florida been looking at the mt09 for a new bike since I sold my 7
OC!
and I can think one...Ducati new Monster for 12k
In it’s class there’s no better bike
Would you buy the SP or the xsr 900
Was looking for the links to the detailed reviews and they are not linked ugh.....
I like to see him try a Tracer9 GT and compare with the SP
Had both, what do you need to know?
If I showed up to the dealer I went to yesterday a week earlier I would’ve snagged a 22’ sp, it was off in the corner with a big sold sign on it 😩
Awesome bike but couple things, droopy indicators so easily knocked out and hard to get back in, the seat seems to not be the comfort option, it looks essentially just black from the side, best colour is Icon blue IMHO, love the grey ‘cheeks’, little things like very basic levers / pedals, surely in 2021 a hydraulic clutch was doable for ease of use and to get rid of that crappy looking adjustment wheel, TFT is meh, big fat stretchy rubber brake hoses. Super picky but why the retro chrome top nut youll see all the time. All of which I guess can be fixed with the money saved with the standard version…..
OC: I’m going to have to say nothing is wrong with it. The stuff you touched on is notable, with the gas gauge and menu wheel. It’s really nothing more than quirks. I wish someone would make a video with a side view showing the wheelie control at 1, 2, 3 and at different weight riders like 150, 200, 250+ because I come from the Harley world. This bike is the first thing I’ve ever ridden that power wheelies. So at 2 I feel like it barely comes off the ground. But at 1 I feel like I’m going to loop it then the front wheel goes back down and I break out into giggles. I’m curious if it reacts more to different rider weights. I’m over 280 so I’m not sure if the foreign feelings of a wheelie is making my mind think it’s looking up at the sky, or if it doesn’t sense it as fast because my weight puts more grip over the rear tire and it yanks up faster than the computer is sensing it? So seeing it in action from the side would calm my mind from thinking I’m in danger.
So what about a trackday? Not sure how much experience you have in that arena but it's the one thing I haven't been able to find a ton of info on for this new SP. I'm in love with the Tuono, having spent quite a bit of time on one including at the track, it was a bike I felt like I could do anything on. Price, questionable reliability and a lack of dealers in my area mean it's a non-starter though. This bike though, like you said, find a better package out there for $11k. But will it entertain me at the track a few times a year?
1 thing people don't talk about is, and i don't know if the base model has it to. But it has a lap timer built into it.
How hard would it be to put cruise on the base
Maybe the better competitor may be the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR, but price may be a concern. 😎😎 🏍
OC - If I didn’t own a Duke 890R already, I would be buying the MT09sp
U can't say that Suspension is hard, u can adjust it as soft as you want.
OC: They need to add the styling they offer in the standard MT-09 on the sp as well. They have some sick looking bikes and the sp is meh. It would be hard to fork over that extra money for meh.
It's all about opinions because I believe the sp is hella sexy!
@@felixfiset true. But that grey with the reddish orange wheels is absolutely 🔥
Go have a look at the new XSR900. It has all the electronics (including cruise control) as the SP, without the SP suspension costs. Styling is much more pleasing in my opinion. Stability will be greater due to longer swingarm and slightly lower headstock. Stability only makes this engine and chassis more hooked up and quick.
OC: I absolutely love the MT09 SP. Soon as my gf is ready to move up to the MT07 from her MT03. I'm getting the MT09 SP that very day. I've always rode sportbikes and never given naked bikes a real go, but my back fell in love with a naked bikes riding position. Even commuting on a MT07 without a windscreen to start with was better than riding my Daytona while commuting. I'd arrive my back didn't hurt and I felt so much better after my commute.
Chase MT09 with rider aides or MT10?
Had my 2021 sp on order since june. Cant get them in my area, it sucks. Guess I'll order something else next year or two. The 2022 colors imo are terrible so maybe just an mt07 next year.
My dream bike...
OC 🔥🔥🔥
The SuperDuke, Speed Triple or MT?
