The reviews with Chris are a part of the few videos on KZfaq that I click like and add to favourites before I've even started watching.

Yamaha should just fire their marketing team and get you to review their bikes.

This needs a million views

10:04 That is such a great fall!!! Clearly a lot of training there. I love Chris, we need more Chris in the world

Hahah, you Sir are a legend. Trashed it, crash it and jump it. Great review, but I wouldnt let you ride my bike🤣😂🤣

Chris is an absolute treasure. He's me telling me about why I like a bike. You can't get more relatable.

I like it, in fact I am actually shopping for one of these. It’s a decent sized 3 cylinder without a lot of bodywork. It’ll be a blast to ride down some fun twisty roads.

Chris could review a child's tricycle and I'd probably watch it. Great, entertaining video, as always! My favourite bike reviewer, by far!!! 👍 I see around the 9:20 mark that you don't have to supply the tires. 🤣🤣🤣

THANK YOU for this review! Finally someone who pushed the MT09 to the limit! Did not expect that off road jump at all, great stuff. This is what they intended for the bike not about cruising your daily commute with a good miles per gallon..

I love how Chris absolutely trashes the bike to show what it can actually do "on the road"

My son has had 3 MT 09s, his current one is the SP version & what a fantastic bike, he loves it. So yesterday we went to our local Yam dealer to see the new version intending to order one. OMG!...What have Yamaha done, I'm not talking about the dynamics of the bike, I'm sure it's fantastic to ride, but the looks & finish. Take a look at the rear brake & gear change levers, they look like they were knocked up in someones garden shed. The horn sticking out at the front under the ugly headlight with the wiring & connectors exposed to the elements. Flimsy plastic & exposed taped wiring everywhere. We were so disappointed, even the dealer couldn't really show any enthusiasm. So were off to our local Triumph this weekend.

I love his reviews, always lighthearted and fun, never dull.

Glad they left the "hooning part" in the updated version of this bike and managed to not choke it out for compliance. Also glad you left the drop in the video, its like a great commercial for sliders and bar end protection but also shows that when you are goofing around, and you will be goofing around on this bike, drops are going to happen and it is not that big deal. I love it , thrashing these things in a proper review is what makes us end up buying them. It has an easily replaceable rear sub frame which saves a lot time and some money after it gets looped as well.

A bike that can jump, survive, and then ride you around in relative comfort is sure one to consider.

this is slowly becoming one of my favourite youtube channels

This is, by far, the most fun and mental bike review I've seen. Love it!

One of the best test rides I've watched recently! Thanks a million! Sound lad by the way!

And this is why you hope you never end up with a secondhand press bike 😂

This is the review we've been waiting for, you always do an excellent job! well done Sir.

One of the best guys for reviews. Thumbs up for Bikeworld testers as always been the preferred choice in honest thorough reviews

Top notch review. It's like living in an oversaturated polluted city and then taking a trek out to the deep country side , just a breath of fresh air. Subscribed!

John and you are among the best reviewers. Thanks!

A blast of a review from Chris. As always 😀.

He can even fall off with style and grace!!!! Legend. Stonking review too. Loving the Dark Synthwave style soundtrack too 😎👍

I think this is the best review video I have watched. Good job. I would love to see Chris do some comparative videos with other manufacturers.

Great stuff Chris as always you are the man for hoonage! 👍

Your very good presenter, enjoyed watching the rebuilds aswell, hope you do more of that

Best MT09 (2021) bike review to date. Great job Sir!

Another great down to earth review! This is what we want to see and hear haha!

You really took the "Hooligan" concept to max level with this one. 😆

Awesome review Chris can't believe you jumped it🤣. Keep up the good work.👍🇦🇺

Keep up the good work, especially in reviewing bike,be patience,soon you guys will reach over 500k subs(hopefully).because,with this kind of review,make us as a motorcycle fans feel entertain,we enjoying this kind of review.thank you.

Absolutely lovely review! This makes the wait even harder until it finally arrives to test '^^

The headlight is actually growing on me

Chris is the best bike reviewer. I trust his opinion over everyone else. Who agrees?

Another excellent review, I'm going to have to get one of these 09SP this year I think. It's good to know I can jump it and drop it considering I do a lot of that currently on my dirt bike/supermoto..... I wish more reviewers purposely crash tested the bikes! That's the kind of insight we truly need! 😂 If I'm spending 10k on a bike I have to make sure I can drop it every now and again and get back up and keep riding!

There is no better reviewer than this larrikan!! Love this stuff.

Thats the best test I have ever seen...greetings from germany

Best and out enjoyable review so far :-)

Hysterically awesome review! I love the off-roading...entire video had me smiling.

Best review seen in times , fun time !

What a review! Mt09 at its best.. Love it😎🤟

Another top notch review by Chris!

I've watched this review 4 times. Can't wait to ride this bike!

Great job as always, love these videos. By the way, Chris looks a bit like Aphex Twin lol

Isn't this what motorcycling is all about? Having fun on two wheels? Whatever it may be. Round that favorite twisty bits, wheeling to the coffeshop or just being a hooligan. And if you really fancy you can strap some bags to it and go on a tour without sportsbike aches all over. And to boot, it is one of the most reliable machines ever made (just beaten by MT-07). And Chris is such a fun guy to watch. :)

After watching this review I can never go back to watching boring reviews ever again.

Wow nice this looks a real interesting bike gotta see more on this on great watch cheers : D

My kind of guy with my kind of bike 🙌🏼 just subbed 👌🏼

Just what I needed lol, staring at my computer screen at work tryna put together a parts list for a customers 2021 KTM 1290 SDR, but seeing this made me stop because some of us can’t drop $20k plus 🥲 but still want to be a hooligan... theres this and the 890 Duke R🤷🏾‍♂️

I absolutely despise the fact that this is going to make me sound like a fawning sycophant, but simple fact is........ Chris is without doubt the best bike reviewer on YT.

Hello Chris, I can't wait to see your reviews of the new Speed Triple 1200 and Tuono V4 Factory. I want to know everything about their qualities & negatives (about brakes, suspensions, ABS, handling, engine buzz or not, etc.) 🙂👍

Old Skool review How to review the MT-09 refreshingly. Well done Chris

Great review, looks like an impressive bike.

Great review, Never grow up 👍🏿

Awesome video!

I was wishing I could Wheelie like that. Then you fell off and it reminded me why I don't dick about too much. Great review of a fun bike. 👍

I've been waiting this entire time to hear one sentence about the new 09. The throttle is fixed. Thank you for finally saying it. Everyone else keeps beating around the bush. 😅

Really nice real world review. Love the crash and roll. U could probably audition as a stunt double. Some director will pick u up I'm sure. Keep up the good work

Glad to see your human! And your big enough to share the little tip over!

Honest review, love it :)

You may be may favorite motorcycle journalist right now. I'm not even interested in buying that. Enjoyed the whole video though. You always deliver. If they put that motor in something sportier with a stiffer frame, I'd be very interested.

Hi Chris, brilliant review, as always. I'm particularly grateful for the intentional lay-down. Very informative. Every review I see of this bike shows endless burnouts and wheelies. While I have been riding a long time (over 50 years!), I have reached a point where my body can't take all that flinging around. Do you think this bike can be ridden without all that and still be fun? PS: I'm drawn to it because it's 26KG lighter than my GSX-S1000f. Thanks again. Mike

The bike is nice but you certainly gave us a few more perpectives to look on!! 😀 for a small amount of time thought u were reviewing a dirt bike...eheheh Keep the pace Chris...

A proper bike review! Cheers Chris!

Underrated Channel!!

FINALLY, A proper review! I'm buying one.

Just just got yourself another subscriber.

That jump test and crash test netted you a new subscriber

awesome review

When I saw the thumbnail I knew it was a Chris video...and then I'm like ahhh yeah!

Love this bike already!!

Chris is my favorite reviewer by far. And he’s plain mad. In a great way.

A very good review.

Now THAT’s a bike review! 💪🤪

legendary review

Man, most motorcycle reviewers strip out the fun of bikes and spew specs. I love your reviews. Kudos

Great review! I'm between hypermotard 950 rve and this bike, which one you liked more?

wow these guys are thorough!

Not only can this dude ride his ass off but he can stunt pretty damn good to.. impressive man...lol

Hi great review, if it was your money MT09 SP or KTM 890 duke R. Tough choice I know but which would u take home

Nice to see someone ride the mt09 just like I'll be riding my 24' 😊

Best bike review ever

Great review! I've seen a lot of roadtests lately about how the suspension does this and that, specs on the bike bla bla bla. (Like I haven't looked at the brochure before I preordered it) A proper review on what I need to know, will it wheelie for a distance? Will it break when I'm trying to look cool by the local hamburger place and send it to the curb? Thank you for answering my questions! Now I just have to wait for the damn thing to arrive in Sweden..

Good review. How do you compare it 890 Duke R since you test rode it as well? Who would win in the race track you think?

Chris, great review. Practical yet entertaining. How would you compare the MT-09 to the KTM R890?

10:04 what did you tell Yamaha ? 😂 extremely fun review, first KZfaqr to trash the MT09 for a facelift.

Reminder to everyone that this isn't even the review, just first ride impressions. Can't wait for the full review.

Excellent and super entertaining review as always Chris!! How did it feel compared to the KTM Duke 890 R that you loved so much?

Chris, you are the Chris Harris of motorcycle reviews. DO you have a video btw where you tested the previous model MT-09 ? Great content my man !

Having test ridden the first MT-09 I got the overwhelming sensation that it was a bike that keeps egging you on. I simply would not be able to behave myself it lol. Nice to see it's not toned down at all.

I rode one on track, it's awesome i'd buy one if I could. So fun!! I love the way it has power instantly :D

I love the bike, I’m really considering getting one this summer. It’s just... the headlight. It needs to grow on me still I guess

No offense to other reviewers who may not be as good, but Chris alone will shift enough units to more than cover that little drop. Can't wait to see how many I spot off road now 😁. Thanks as always Chris! And the race will be on to see which after market company fixes that headlight! It really is terrible and that WILL cost Yamaha sales.

I love this channel. Could the ride position be between hypermotard 950 and duke 890??

I had a we test ride on this & was a first gen' owner - i can only assure you that the new exhaust now is the best sounding ever whilst riding...much nicer looking than the 2nd gen'... `sound is great from underneath ⬆️

Everything about this bike just looks so dope especially the headlight with that dark mecha look….although the display could’ve been better designed like previous models

I instantly liked this video 🤘

You had me at "jumps".

'... and we even did a crash test for you'... now that's a review!!! Thanks Chris for doing a proper bonkers test for the new bonkers bike :-) Traded in my MT09 Tracer in for a Tenere 700 but missing that sexy triple... should I buy a new MT09 or a previous gen MT09 SP???
