2024 Yamaha MT-09 - First Ride Review - Is it the best naked triple?
Рет қаралды 12,198
Күн бұрынThe Yamaha MT-09 has been with us for 10 years, and through all the changes over this period, the original ethos of the bike has remained intact. Fast, Fun and Agile. So does the 2024 model just continue the story or does it push it on even further. There's new tech and features, but the important thing is, does it still offer the legendary MT-09 experience? In this video, I look at all the changes Yamaha has introduced for 2024 and offer my thoughts on the riding experience.

Great review up to the old "I don't think I could trust myself" comment. I'm in my 70's and love the machine and I'm no slouch. With age you learn when to apply the power, great bike for all ages.

Never ridden any previous MT but had a 900 triple Triumph Tiger GT and this triple is definitely more exciting, especially in Sport mode 😀. Had a short test ride last weekend and going for another this Saturday but 99% certain this will be my new bike. Tech and display style much better than the Tiger even if not as big. Never been keen on the looks but love this one in Cyan. Thanks for a great review. Watched all the reviews on YT this past week and not heard anyone not love riding this bike.

As ever, informative and relevant for the majority of riders who want an educated and rounded review - keep it up. I think you answered itr already in another comment (not in the review), but you'd take this over the Streety. Can you say why? Overall package, comfort, fun vs serious, etc? I'm hoping to see reviews doing direct comparisons, but your early insight would help fuel my need to replace my aging '11 Street Triple R which with an aging body too feels very firm these days. Cheers!

Nice one Tony. Thank you. The only bike on my list for 2024 is the XSR-900 GP. The original MT-09’s were, in my opinion, horrible. The disconnection between the front and rear suspension and chassis setup made it a very nervous bike when being pushed. At least they have finally nailed it with this generation as it’s a night and day comparison.

I’ve been looking for a replacement for my 2021 Tiger 900 GT Pro, as I’m not doing any touring anymore and I want something lighter, i did have a KTM Duke 890 last year as well, I test road the Triumph Street Triple RS but found it too focused and I refuse to pay the extra for Cruise Control, I then test road the MT 09 and have ordered a SP for August delivery, never rode one before simply based on the styling I’ve also ordered a 2024 Husqvarna 401 Svartpillon for those days when I want to poodle about or if the weather is poor.

Funny, I test road the gen 4 today. In all truth, it didn’t feel to much different from my gen 3 but have to admit, although all the changes are subtle, on the whole does make it a slightly better ride.
@ExcursionRipzz 2 ай бұрын
Slightly better in what way would you say?
@Steve-motorcycles 2 ай бұрын
@@ExcursionRipzz The engine and the performance is the same. There is slightly more weight on the front end which transfers into more feel into what the front wheel is doing. It gives more confidence. The front brake is also improved offering more feel and progression. It’s not a night and day difference but definitely an improvement for sportier riding. What with the new dash and connectivity, it’s a better around experience. Would I say is it worth trading the gen 3 to a gen 4, I guess that’s up to the individual. Its better, but not massively
@DaleMt09sp 2 ай бұрын
Best in class imo I tried the crop when I bought my gen 3 sp and for a road bike it’s better than the triumph and ktm can’t imagine the gen 4 being any different

@jasoncarter7880 2 ай бұрын
My old 2019 MT-09 had a fully adjustable front suspension. From what I've read, the 2024 does too. I remember having mine set to be really soft, which caused a little wobble at hard acceleration at higher speeds. So, I firmed it up and it mostly went away.
@mancavemoto 2 ай бұрын
Yep, I’ve just realised I said it was preload only, when it is of course fully adjustable. My mistake

If you turn down the throttle response etc they’re easy to ride if you dial it up and turn off the aids it can be a bit back wheel happy a bike will only go as quick as you want it to imo it’s always better to buy something and grow into it than buy something and get bored of it in a month which I’ve fell victim to in the past

Nice review sir. I briefly considered this updated Yamaha, but bought a new Street Triple RS in yellow instead. The MT09 has the torque. but the Triumph just looks so much better, and goes and handles so well! Even at 67 yrs old, I still have to consciously think about speed as it begs you to go fast. And track days are a blast for sure.
@MRSMI13Y90 2 ай бұрын
I’m finding the handling to be very good on the mt09 I’m on my first 100 miles and this weekend going to really take it on some curvy roads but even quick shifter felt better on it than the triumph.. which I didn’t get since full coverage was outrageous in the states for me
