Yamaha, just shut up and take my money. This bike is a straight win. I am absolutely getting it as soon as it comes out. I personally love the keyless, all my cars are, so happy for the bike now too, which will hopefully help as a theft deterrent device.

Bloody fantastic! It was great before... now it is even better and finally beautiful. Yamaha is killing it right now. First the GP and now this. ❤ Keyless is crap though. I just want to have a simple key. Thanks for the quick, superb video! Only SP for me! Hope it still comfortable for tall riders. Lower bars and the new S23 are a win.

Something beautiful about putting a key in a motorbike, part of the experience✌🏽

The changes made were the only reason I picked the 890R instead, mainly the brakes. This is going to be a gem!

I've been watching this on repeat. By far the best video out right now showcasing the new 2024 MT-09. I appreciate all the work you put into this. It has me so excited! I will be selling my '22 MT-07 and picking up the new MT-09 SP as soon as they're available. This bike looks beautiful from every angle. Yamaha nailed the front end this time, I love how you can see the LED's from the side...gives the bike a very aggressive look. So many tech features to love also, especially for myself transitioning from a bare bones MT-07. That 3rd gen quickshifter is calling my name, I've never used one. Yamaha all the way!

Ok , but R9

With the new position and the new brake, they sre Clearly going toward a track machine instead of s wheelie machine. I have the sp 21 and i love it. That new 2024 looks even greater!

Maybe I’ve missed it, but I think clutchless downshifts while accelerating are quite important to mention, thanks for the great video💪🏼

I prefer the aggressive look of the old tank, the way it slopes forward towards the front of the bike, the new tank looks a bit flatter on the top!!

Keyless ignition on a motorcycle sounds great, and it is great in terms of convenience....until that system stops working correctly. They're pretty susceptible to interference, and my KTM 1290 SAS has had its fair share of issues with the fob not being detected at times. Multiple full batteries, changing pockets and finally testing it in the storage up near the dash. Turns out my new, larger phone was causing some interference. Probably the Wi-Fi, BT and NFC all being on all the time...but at this point I am fully over my "keyless fob" feature. FFS, just give me a damn key. The last thing any KTM needs is another thing to break/stop working, because they've already won that contest, lol.

Gen 2 is still the best headlight for me

I like keyless ignition on a bike because I'm annoyed at having to put my gloves on after taking the key out of my pocket, start the bike, then put the key back in my pocket, then I can put on my gloves. I would love a keyless ignition... Walk up to the bike fully geared up, hop on it and go

Keyless is not a big deal. I prefer old school key. No need for battery for the keys.

Didn't like the front of the current MT 09 when it came out And this 2024 model looks even worse especially in the overall shape of the bike I'd personally go for the current version The only thing that they made better is the new TFT display

I can't unsee a mini welding mask covering the headlight..lol

If only it didn’t have that random rectangle in the middle of the headlight assembly. Almost good looking.

after having keyless on my 2022 Superduke Evo for ignition, steering lock and gas cap, id say on this bike I'd prefer a regular key. But it seems everyone will eventually go fob

Nice one Bob. Thank you. Love keyless in cars, prefer a key for two wheels. Perhaps this will change as in the 80’s and 90’s when ABS started to appear on two wheels I was on the side of never wanting it on any bike. Now I’m happy it’s there even if it never get used.

Good upgrades, but what's up with the rectangle light in the middle of the headlight assembly? Seems uglier than before. Let's hope the windscreen will help somehow with this.

The MT09 finally looks like a motorcycle. I never really considered buying a new motorcycle, but this could be the Jack of all trades i´ve been waiting for.

I just don't understand motorcycle companies today. 20 years ago you'd have a motorcycle model in production for 3 or 4 years. Now they're making new models every year. How you do get parts for a 5 year old model if it was 4 models ago?

Wow. It’s really getting better. Love the change in headlight. Much better. I hope the mt10 gets some of this treatment too.

In the U.S. the 2024 MT-09 Sp is $12,299 plus dest., the 2023 was $11,499 plus dest. The standard 09 (2024) is $10,599 plus dest.

Very nice looking bike… had the 2021 standard and the 2021 SP. day nigh difference… I’ll go 100% with the SP model. No question asked

Absolutely love the backend of this bike... WOW, what an amazing-looking bike!!

Honestly, the only reason i wanted the sp was for the cruise, with it being standard on the base model now, they saved me a little bit.

You did a same day update! nice work Bob!!

Some great updates. Love the brand already owning an MT10 and XSR900. BUT. Keyless is a huge turn off for me. I've had a bike with it and it was a nightmare. Why Yamaha, why!

Nice updates, here's to the R1 being updated with the Brembos at EICMA next week too!!

There are just too many awesome bikes to choose from! MT-09, XSR900 GP, or fingers crossed... the R9.

Keyless for me is good as it saves time and reach time to on the bike. Saves a heap of a hassle of reaching keys in pocket. I have a 2023 Tech Max which I love the features

Looks much better! But don’t like the keyless option

Im already planning on trading in my 2019 SP for this. Looks amazing. Only thing im not keen on is the keyless ignition.

Looks like they’re moving the bike posture a little closer to the Street Triple.

Lets wait for the 2024 MT10 then

Keyless… NO NO NO! Everything else looks like a great update.

Torn between this and the Street Triple 765. I can't be the only one.

I have the gen 3 sp bought it in June absolutely love it I would buy the standard version as it's got everything you need as for keyless on the sp I'm not a big fan I had it on my BMW f900 and wasn't keen

Finally MT09 is likeable. Looks way better than prev gen

Keyless is useless, and that knob looks ridiculous....

Any info on what is happening with the xsr900? Is it going to get that same new dash and connectivity...?

Defo the SP version for me, if I was in the market! I had the 2021 model and I loved it. If I did'nt have a 2020 BMW R 1250 R, would any day choose a Yamaha MT 09 SP, SUCH a good bike, so can only imagine that the new 2024 will be even better

SP all day. There were a few at Philip Island for the World Superbikes, standard and SP versions. Riders were enthusiastic about them.

The 2023 SP's springs were too stiff if you were not over 170lbs, nobody wants to quick shift to a higher gear while slowing down nobody wants keyless ignition. Dash is better... seat is worse, tank and headlight are debatable.

key less more to go wrong

Came out of Fort William in the truck, spotted something on the road...a BMW keyless fob...someone could then be 2hrs away before the bike is immobilised ,stupid idea on a motorcycle...i phoned the dealer,and told him to expect a call...left it with the Police!

I don’t understand why they released my XSR900 with the smaller screen when they had this 5” unit waiting. A bit annoying.

The front headlight needs to go back to the 2020 version, they're almost there...

The base model is an extra 900 dollars over the 2023 model in the states,so I expect the SP to be at least £2k over the base model in the UK

I think the regular MT09 is worth the money over this version of the SP. Feels like the regular MT09 is basically an SP just with all the new upgrades in my opinion.

Sp is worth every penny!

Yamaha finally has a decent face back!

Nice vid. Looks like a great spec. Although I couldn't care less about it being keyless. Seems like a pointless gimmick with more cons than pros to me.

Cant wait to see how the 2024 MT10 evolved! MT 9 best in class IMHO.

Not a fan of keyless. Brembo brakes are a real plus point, I think the price will go up a lot though.

Absolutely love it..could be trading the 07 in for this machine

My new duke 890 rear shock seal gave out with only 1200 on the odo so I’m definitely going to trade it in for this SP

This new redesign has been heavily borrowed from their little known 150cc bike that's been available in India since 2015. The M Slaz. If only they went the whole 9 yards. That little thing is a true beaut. This Gen of the Mt 09 left a lot to be desired looks wise. On this one, It's a big improvement over the base model.

bought the 2023 sp in September, just traded it in for a Panigale V4s before the announcement. So glad I did it. The new bike looks ugly AF. Even worse than before. Love the new tech but it reminds of the cyber truck which is an abomination.

seen some of the 25 model which I probably will wait for.

It looks WAY better then the last two years. I may be upgrading from my MT 07 to this one next year.

Keyless sucks on a motorcycle, at least Ducati had a code you could punch in if your key fell out of your pocket, but you still couldn't put fuel in it. I would pay extra to have an actual key, I mean if you take it for a track day then where do you put key?

On my 2020 Triumph Speed Triple RS the keyless ignition was somewhat pointless as the rider could fire up the engine and drive away few hundred meters and nothing happened (I was still holding the key in my pocket staying stationary). Not tested on greater distances but someone could steal your bike still and hide it within this range o_O

I've got a 2020 MT09SP i only paid £800 pounds more it was well worth it what absolutely brilliant bike. Never liked the GEN 3 but the new sp is well worth considering.

sounded great until you said they lowered the bars and raised the foot pegs. that was the whole attraction for me that its sporty but you sit upright without your knees bent too much so its more comfortable to ride.

I have been looking for something like this. The MT09 SP may be my next bike. I was thinking seriously about the KTM 990 Duke. It looks great in reviews but is is a KTM and there is nothing cool about missing big chunks of the riding season with your bike in the shop. I have spoken with owners of earlier models of the MT09 and they gush like smitten young girls about them. Current KTM owners are still in love, but former KTM owners tell different stories. Stories I do not want to live through. I need reliability and excitement in my life as far as my bike is concerned. To me, the SP is worth the extra cost. YMMV.

Looks good, and nice that Yamaha have slapped some decent stoppers on there too! I was thinking of 890R as the next bike, but I might need to take one of these out

Keyless is useful for us who ride in dangerous towns

I love the look of the SP. the color is great I hope they keep up with it. I want one

they have to make this mt09 sp model a R9 model!! will sell like crazy! i want one!

I'm really curious to see if there's going to be any major changes on the 2024 XSR900

One of the most amazing bikes in the world just got better!

this is a massive win for yamaha the tweeks make all the difference

Great another bike video without any on the road biking or touching a bike fantastic

They need to take the cyclops light out and it would look alot better lol. They took the 2018 light and last lights and smashed them together lol. They 2018 lights are undefeated so far

Head light is definitely a improvement to the last one

Yeah, if I'd go for an MT, it would be the 09 and it would be the SP version. Anything else would be missing the point. I've been slowly upgrading my 2020 CB1KR to meet the kinds of features built into the SP. The only thing I won't be able to get (decently) is cruise control. And of course, the connectivity stuff and great TFT display. But, I can wait on that. Next year, the rear shock update is coming. :) Yippeee!

At least on US site, it does show a price. $12,299

I had to sell my 21 MT09SP as I couldnt put it in my moving pod. I will be getting the new 24 or R9, I havnt decided yet. But with the lower bars and rear sets moved I may just go with the MT.

I don't care about the Keyless. But the Brembo callipers might allow the legal upgrade of those callipers on the base mt09 here in Germany. And that's fabulous news, if they bring out the R9 with the same forks.

im buying one the triple engine is perfect and the new brakes styling beautiful.

I prefer a good mechanical key.

1# R9 GODDAMNIT 2# just put the gen 2 headlight on the new one and it's perfect

Glad they did something with the riding geometry. Thats the only reason I stayed away from buying the current MT 09

Great information .I have had few MT09s and they all have improved with each new model release. I currently have the MT09SP 2022, looks like it could be replaced now in 2024. I am a short legged rider hope they have not change the seat height.

INFELIZMENTE AQUI NO BRASIL AINDA SÃO PRODUZIDAS AS MT-09 DE 2° GERAÇÃO, POR ISSO COMPRAMOS HONDA QUE ESTÃO SEMPRE ATUALIZADAS COMO A CB 650 OU A CB 1000.

its abit prettier now i guess but its not that hard to put in and turn the key to start a motorcycle.

Is there really anyone who likes this new headlamp? It's just made out of cheap plastic with some holes to let light trough....

The sound is needed for the surroundings and not really the 'cockpit'. Hearing it from the 'cockpit' makes you think its loud enough they will hear you while it actually will not be the case so lesser safe.

Definitely looking better.

With the keyless, Could somebody try to ride away on the bike if say you're paying at the petrol station? Is there any option to turn it off and just have a normal key?

I'm getting back into riding on the street after nearly 10 years and can't help but see these naked bikes as lacking fairings. Shrinkflation, if you will. Sport bikes with removed body work were always a downgrade compared to full fairing bikes. Like a car with no hood. Sure you can see the engine, but there's more character when there's more body work. I get that their fast and light, but why the Mad Max aesthetic and random flat screen and preying mantis headlight slapped on? I'm obviously in the minority since bike makers follow what the market wants.

I'd say hands down, the base bike is the best value now. Less of a difference now between the two.

I've already made up my mind on replacing my 2022 MT09 SP for this new 2024 MT09 SP, with all the new updates, I think it's VERY MUCH worth the upgrade

Now we just need an XSR update.

The front view is much better.

Keyless another answer to question that was never asked.

Maybe I'd like the keyless entry but Ive already broke the back of my last 2 phones over the years because it flew out my jacket that I thought I had closed. Guess it needs to be a inside the jacket with a zipper type of deal.

Just an update..... Yamaha Motor Corporation just announced That The 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Model will not be being released to it's Canadian customers for the 2024 Year model... this is very sad!!! The fact that they had a huge campaign promoting the model, as well as having it available on there Canadian website, four months ago when the news that the re-designed 2024 MT-09 SP model was coming out late spring, early summer release, I had put a deposit at a dealership on one not too far from where I am located, and just got the call yesterday from the sales person at the dealership, that they weren't going to be able to fulfill my order as promised as the updated 2024 MT-09 SP Model year was not going to be coming to Canada as previously promised to the Canadian customers.... all I can say as past and current Yamaha owner... what a slap in the face!!!! like why would Yamaha got to all this effort with an add campaign for the new model.... have dealerships taking deposits for the new model.... only to tell customers that they won't be delivered as originally promised 2 month's before what was suppose to be the perspective delivery date... Yamaha should be absolutely ashamed... by the hyping up of this newly re-designed model, only to pull back and tell there customers that they won't be able to deliver 8 weeks before the suggested delivery date, or that certain countries won't be receiving the model as originally promised!!! Sorry to break the bad news to the Canadian customers... but you won't be able to get this model for the 2024 model year... even if you had already put a deposit on one... Yamaha should be be embarrassed and this is absolutely shameful behavior by them to act in this way!!!

The new headlight is much nicer.
