i think bike choices always follow our state of mind. It's a complement for our needs. Freedom, speed, style, work. Name it. Constant changing experiences. There is always a bike to fit our needs. that's the biker life i think. And each one teach u something about riding and yourself.

Since you choose MT09 for the 3rd time, you seem to be indeed keen on this model, why not get yourself a higher performance SP version with superior Ohlins cartridge in a golden tube and rear full adjustable Ohlins shock, plus a very handy cruise control function.

I DONT KNOW WHY ,BUT YOUR VIDEOS ARE TOP DRAWYER ,REALLY ENJOY THEM IN THE PHILIPPINES

I bought the exact same MT09 just a few months ago. The second gen is so much nicer, with TCS if we are on edge and you don't want to die. The headlight looks angry making it the best so far. The blue color is just awesome in the sun, making it the eye catcher for the ladies. I love it so far, this summer going for a holiday in germany, gonna open the throttle on the autobahn!

I recently moved from a 2008 Kawasaki KLR (you loved that bike :)) to a 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900. Holy crap! You are spot on regarding the torque, desire to rip my arms off and all things fantastic about that triple! I am so in love with more than quadrupling my horsepower! Looking forward to more videos!!!!!

I almost bought this bike. A 2020 model. Even went to the dealer, sat on it, did my homework. Then covid hit and I had to put off buying a bike for awhile. When I did buy a bike last year, I ended up getting a Honda CB500X. I was worried about the power and what not, but I wanted a comfortable bike that I could ride for hours. Ended up being the best bike I've owned!!! Never thought a sub 500cc motorcycle could be so much fun, and I've done several weekend trips with it. That being said, I do think a 650 or 700cc version would be the perfect bike for me.

Absolutely stunning mate these yahamas are so special

After having seven different bikes including a DRZ400sm, R6, triumph street triple, R1, I am back on a modded DRZ400sm. MT09 is a bucket list though and I have spent enough time on a borrowed one to know id love it. Always torn between it and another street triple though. Thanks for great content as usual. Cheers

For anyone owning a Gen 1. Kemi moto make a really stylish LED replacement light. I had one on my Mt07. Best upgrade ever. Also makes riding in the dark wwaaaaay better

I have my MT 09 SP RN43 since two years now and it still is a lot of fun everytime I ride and look at her 😁👍🏼

I had a 2014, 2017 and now 2022 and 2022 is just great, love it

own a 2019 mt09 best bike ever, i just cant get tired of sensations this bike gives

I bought a brand new Triumph Tiger Sprot 660 in june. I was originally curious about the Trident 660, but heard about the Tiger Sport. After trying it, I fell in love with it I've tried sport bikes and other brands, but love my Tiger more and more the more I ride it.

I had a 09 to 2014, this is really a great bike ! But I agree with you… the headlight of the 2018 is so amazing ! I don’t paid my bike so much and only 14k Kms the only reason I keep them ! Nice vid 👌🏻

Great video because of the thought process you put into it 👍 The make\models don't really matter but I went from a Ducati Multistrada 1200 DVT to a Versys 650, no crashes involved just a change of country. What a smile on my face with the little Kawi, I can ride it full throttle, fell like 'I know how to ride it', it puts a smile on my face every ride... The Multistrada was a brilliant bike but I could never do it justice (not good enough), so like your 3rd MT09, I have found a happy place 😎😉 Just wondering if an MT09 might be the next Versys for me LOL!

Really like your videos, keep up the good work! I still own my first big bike for 8 years now, a 2011 Yamaha XJ6 naked, a absolute joy to drive. Only my ass doesn't like the long drives. To have some extra fun I also drive a 140cc honda monkey that I have for 15 years. Keep making great videos! Greetings from Belgium

I have the same, same color and she’s a very special companion

I came off of super sports also but now I just want a fun street bike so I bought a 19 mt09. Haven’t really had time to really try it because of winter. I hope I love it and not regret it

Awesome video love it I'm hoping for my Yamaha Tracer 7 soon.

Excellent video, thank you very much. Have you tested the KTM Duke 790/890? Looking to get back into some bigger bike action again, after few years into Vespa mode, MT09 & Duke 790 and Yamaha Mt09 both 2019 models are battling it out... (I had a Gixxxer K8 1000 and HS1200 before, but they are too big/serious, all I want is some fun

Back in day I had numerous cbr600s just loved them.

My XR650L was one that I've had a love/hate relationship with. Then when it was time for me to move with my family, I was going to sell it. But when I road it around, to take it to the self serve carwash, I couldn't stomach it. I was thinking about the prospect of it being my last ride, as I listened to my exhaust crackle in the downshifts, I that was it. Not gonna happen.

Right on. Great insight!

My road bikes started on an RD125 then a TZR125 YPVS then back to the RD250 then a RD350 YPVS. The a Reverse Cylinder TZR 250 with 350 barrels . Then a RGV 250 then the first R7 the R1 . With ZX7RRs & ZX12R

Great storytelling, Chaos!

I suggest you to buy the DPM Gullwing Windshield to enhance the look of your MT-09 even more. A friend of mine has it and it really is brilliant.

Awesome bike currently saving up for my second 09. You can get a get a screen protector for the bikes dash laterally the first mod I do.

I really enjoy your videos!, thanks for the entertainment!

Your edits are sick!

The biggest grower I've owned (stop laughing at the back) was my 2009 Kawi Versys 650. I got the bike after a series of short-lived bike changes, and it felt like an anti-climax. The two bikes before it were big, loud, shouty cruisers with wide pipes and lots of character. Next to them, the Versys was extremely bland. However, before them I had a V-Strom 650, and that was an incredible bike. The Versys was faster and more agile, sure, but it was also way less comfortable and the parallel twin lacked character compared to the V-twin in the Strom, so it even felt like a downgrade from that too. However, I swapped the massive riot-shield windscreen it came with for a nice little short, tinted number, which somehow made the bike feel so much more agile and nimble purely by placebo. Then I put an aftermarket can on it. And boom, literally overnight it was a fun bike to ride, with character and enjoyable shifting. It was always competent at what it did, but now it was enjoyable too. And then a couple of weeks later I got hit by a car and the Versys was shrapnel all over the road, and me along with it. Typical.

I have the same with the Street Triple, I'm on my 3th one now with a few bikes in between every other year. I even had an MT-09 but I hated the seating position and suspension (although I fixed that with a hyperpro street box). I miss the powerful engine of the MT09 but the Street is so much faster and more stable around corners.

planning on upgrading to an mt09 next year:) think the second generation looks sick

I've had bout 20 bikes including super sports,sport tourers and naked like mt10,super duke r,zx14r,cbr1000rr,this is one of my favourite ones.

I rode a Duke 390 2015 for 5 years. And also own a husky fe plated dirt bike. Found my self riding more freeways so went to a mt07 2021 a couple of years ago. I am an old lady and Prefer upright bikes, handles so well on freeways. Maybe one day I will be ready for Mt09.

Will you try and run a lower profile bar on this MT? if so witch one? I've tried the Pro Taper Universal low and the Carmichael bend. But I'm not sure what to think of either of them. I think I like the stock bar better, I just with it was 800mm like the Pro Tapers.

I've had 1st gen and I now own the 2022 MT09 and I must say there is a huge improvement over both 1st and 2nd gen, best thing about it is the wheelie control & auto blipper! 🤌

Hi,like Ur video,I have a 2021 mt09 and am really enjoying it, keep up great work ,thx mate

I'm in my 3'rd year with my mt-09 second gen. Waiting patiently for the 4th gen of mt-09, if that looks cool and maybe replacing my current one.

My headspace on my first (new) bike was my cbr500r and almost immediately i wanted more powah! But i got used to it and learned to corner on it (for 1.5yrs). Strangely i bought a Versys 650 next which only had like 15-20ish more horsepower but that seems to be enough to soothe my power thirst (l o l - i guess im not really that thirsty). Oddly though i wish it handled more like a sportbike…. It took some time to realize that bikes can be cornered in a variety of ways and deep leans is not the be all end all. Also my back doesn’t hurt, im comfortable to ride all day aaand BAGS! BAGS FOR DAYS! My headspace changed to match the logic that my brain knew the Versys offered….i just had to give it time 😊

Hey CC! Great upload! Can you please do a video where you compare sport bikes with naked bikes? Pro's/con's and what you personally think. Thanks! :)

Just get a tracer I had 2 mt the tracer took my heart ❤️ goes everywhere does everything more comfort same power ✌️

I was a bit late to the motorcycle world, ie: 32 years old. That's because I needed a place to live, and buying a bike would have ended that. At least that's what my mum told me! I have had only five bikes since then though. I love MotoGP and Superbike racing so I have an affinity for Sportbikes. I currently own two. Both bought new. A 2001 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and a 2010 BMW K1300S, and I love them both. However, at 64 years young, I am starting to think that I might want something a little more relaxed. So at this time I'm open to suggestions! I love your videos, just wish you posted more and more consistently. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻 from Canada 🇨🇦

I learned to ride on a Suzuki GS1000S (with clip-ons!) when I was 18 ... and survived. I kept it for the better part of 15 years and then got a Honda XL500 which I used to go on a trip ; overland from Belgium to South Africa (1 year trip, 30.000km) These are the bikes I remember best. I now ride a BMW R1200R. It's good and reliable.... It's also boring. 🙂

I hope so my boy, looking at mt09s now switching from a zx6r need some comfort the zx6r hurts

You're right about headspace, but that refers to a lot more than just motorcycles. And we're not crazy! 😛

I actually had the opposite. Always wanted a new triumph rocket 3. Finally bought one and after 2 months I’m ready to sell it. I love the bike but the things I want to do to it cost as much as another bike. Definitely an amazing bike but riding it as my daily has become a chore and think it’s time to sell or trade it in

I love MT-09’s Always will!!! Best all around Bike ever!

Have you seen the new triumph street triple? The entry Triple R is honestly looking like really good bang for buck and a bit different iteration of the sick triple engine. Would be cool if you could test ride one and compare it to the MT. Much love from Puerto Rico dude

So you could have done the upgrades and wrap to the first one :). What do you think of the Street Triple ?

My dad has the same issue with GS’S, he had a cast wheeled one but sold it for a K1200S, got a second one which was spoked wheels and had to sell it, then got a 2017 GS and sold it in 2020 cause it got too heavy for Him, and he still wants another one 😅

great content. mt09 nation!

Hey bro I can see in the videos we live in the same area….seen your work on the project R1 and liked that content as I have one of my own….I need tips in the cooling issues bro please

Absolutely love the content

Have you ridden the 3rd gen MT-09? From pictures I didn’t like the front, but it looks so much better in real life. And after riding it you will never want to go back to a previous gen, it handles corners soooo much better than the 1st and 2nd gen

I have a 2022 mt09sp you should test ride one you will be more in love with the platform

Fantastic video

Mr. Causes, whats your opinion on that ls2 helmet. Seen them pop up and I'm in the msrket for a new helmet

I have a 2016 fz09 blue, but definitely want to go to 2019 mt09 blue

Please review an XSR-900, its basically a mt-09 but i think the aesthetic changes and some subtle changes in the throtle response (so i've heard) would make a pretty entertaining video

With the knowledge that in south Africa you drive on the left hand side of the road it makes me wonder. As a motorcycle rider how do you (or do you) use the motorcyclists greeting when riding? In the United States the greeting is your left hand extended outward with your index and middle fingers only extended. This greeting is basically saying be safe. In south Africa you'd have to use your right hand for another motorcyclist to see it.

Can you please review the dji osmo action 3 ?

I Bought MT 25... Looks same but with less power of course... Yamaha MT series are respectable motorcycles

Well said bro! Wish I can ride that bike but my body and height just fit only for a scooter😅

Next bike should be Triumph Trident 660! You might like that bike even more!

Last year l bought 13 bikes and it was quite fun but this year l had only 9 of them... Am l getting old or what? Each bike had its qualities so l can't decide... Last month l bought my 185th bike and l think that that's it, l'm gonna keep it till march, that's for sure. Or l'm gonna change it one more time in this season..? I'll see. Have fun buying! Changing bikes is so addictive. Cheers!

I want one for ages!!!

Hey finally got a notification. Woo

Whoah whoah!! upright riding position is a stuck up riding position? the hell man... @ 4:25

just one question what do you think about kawasaki z900

Wait till you try the new 2022 mt09

My buddy has the mt09 loves it and rides it he’s at the track but you either love or really don’t care for it. Got to say I’m in the camp that doesn’t care for it the bike seems so confused about what it’s trying to be0.

What do you think of the 07 ?

Will there be a 4th mt09 .. the latest ver. ?

Nevermind after my comment on the previous video I watched this and most of my questions where answered 😂

Now you have to modify the heck out if it and get at least 120hp!

you ma friend, need to buy the latest gen :D

2:58 what happened to that radiator? :D

Problem is the 1st gen visually, it looked like a cheaper mt07...and pogo stick suspension ~

You should just have gotten a Kawasaki Z900, then you would never have been in doubt :) 4 + years of ownership and still a grin on my face every. single. time. I. Ride!

Kinda want one ngl

My 2022 MT09 has grown on me. At first I didn't like it and wanted an GSX-S 1000 or MT10 but couldn't afford it new. A good in used condition was hard to find and so I bougth the MT09 and start looking around for a good MT10. But after riding it for a few months I've stopped looking for an MT10 because the MT09 has grown on me and it has showed me why she's a keeper. It's in yamaha blue obviously😁

NICE

But have you tried the tracer 🙂

If anyone can help a fellow biker. I don't know which bike to get, cb 650r or mt09 (2nd gen). I do like 10km a day, and every 2 months or so a little 400km trip. Anyone can help?

so is it about time to buy a new sport bike?

street triple 675 r 2009. bought it cheap as my everyday bike and ended up falling in love with it, sadly had to sell it as money was tight, now i have got a 2019 mt09sp,

2021+ is where it's at according to strangers on the internet. I was trying to decide between Rs660 or mt07 and mt09 new gen i bought the Aprilia and still wonder if the Mt09 sp is a better bike. Rs660 is awesome on the twisty roads but wonder if the torque is more fun...

Bra, you're going to get another bike pretty soon.

Wait, are you South-African?! That means dat jij "Nederlands" spreekt, toch? From your accent I thought you where English. But people from England might hear it, as I'm not. I'm Dutch :D Great video though! I got my license about 3 weeks ago and bought an MT-7 2nd gen. But might need a bit bigger one because I think I'm a bit too big for the bike (1,80m) Do you know if the MT09 had a higher seating position?

Should picked the sp

Is it true what they say that your motorcycles never reach their top speed ever?

👍

6:36 I don't think that Tuono price is ridiculous because it is MSRP so far or close to it Here in Belarus I paid $8700 for 390 Duke two weeks ago. It's ridiculously high Guess how much is the 1290 R here? Insane $34000 at official dealership 💀 If I somehow was suggested to buy brand new Tuono v4 for $19000 I would not even ask for 5 minutes to think, it's a bargain

Why did TRC make MT09 Worse?

if u wanna something better than japanse motorcycles, just try triumphs or husqvarna

I don’t have balls to sell my F4i, i fucking love it to much it’s extension of my soul. Im just trying to get second bike :D

i always wonder why he hasnt tested out Supermoto`s

Get a Triumph Street Triple R or RS

I think you will like the 2021+ modals even better. This is coming from a 2021 owner.

Why dont you want a mt 10 ? love you video's keep going!
