Brake calipers are by Advics, not "own brand".

After 2 months of waiting I finally got my MT09 2021 and i am just loving it 🤩 comparing to my 2017 MT09, MT09 2021 is just brilliant and i am the happiest person alive on earth 🌎🥰

I'm one of those who changed their mind about the headlight.. really liked the 2nd generation, which I think is still the among the best looking bikes out there due to the headlight, but this one has grown on me to the point where I actually do like the look of it. Can't wait to have my hands on one of these in a few months.

That is one fugly looking exhaust, looks like they just opened one end of the cat and call it a muffler.

I am using 2021 MY09 for the past 3 months. Its an amazing machine so far. Good review 👍

Triples have always been my engine of choice, I had and have MVs and Triumphs. I did checked this bike out in years past but wasn't sold. The latest version has addressed some of my issues I had, (hate the rubber brake lines). Overall it seems like a good bike in a very competitive field. I still love the Streety and Brutale.

I went out today to check out some bikes I'm considering for my next bike. It's amazing how small differences in a bike can make a huge difference. I was keen on the Z900, but sat on one today and found I didn't really like the ergonomics, the slightly higher bars on the MT09 felt really good for me, even sitting still the MT09 just felt light, it fits me far better. it's now down to the MT09 and the XSR900. Looks like I'm buying a Yamaha lol

Good review. Hate the tumorous cat/ silencer system. Never seen uglier.

Great review on the MT-09. Just sold my Aprilia RSV4 and currently in the market for something new. Looks like I've found my next bike 💯

Great review 🙌 Thanks for featuring our screen protectors!

Best overall review of any motorcycle on KZfaq. Thank you, young man.

Great review Bob. I thought someone had stolen the side panels. I still don't like the headlight set up but bike looks good side-on and I agree a super paint job with those Honda orange wheels. 😉

I personally like the front end. It’s unobtrusive but practical and the cyclops main beam is something unique. It looks a little bit sparse when viewing it from above (all the bolt heads make it look a little unfinished) but the look you get from the side, showing off the shape of the bars and forks, makes it look really edgy. If I hadn’t just got a new bike 9 months ago, I’d be testing one of these 👍

The exhaust note sounds similar to the old exhaust when you're on the throttle. But I don't hear the gurgles and bawbles when you're off the throttle? Who doesn't love a little extra torque! Nice bike!

Getting my MT-09 SP tomorrow! Can't wait 😁

Bought one back in May. Have the catless Akrapovic system on it. Needs to be tuned to really take advantage, but honestly, I love the damn thing

A nice wee fly screen would do it wonders

Revving the engine from idle doesn't do it justice. I test rode one recently and the noise it makes even at city speeds made me giggle the entire ride. The sound it makes is pure music to my ears. No need for an after-market exhaust. Everything is just buttery smooth: fueling, transmission, quick shifter. You can use the quick shifter and blipper even at lower RPMs (take that BMW). For the blipper to work correctly you do however have to completely roll off the throttle, otherwise it does not activate at all. This bike has come a long way from the 1st generation jerky wheelie monster and Yamaha has really dialed it all in perfectly now it seems. This would be my next bike if it would just look less ugly. I know, there's the XSR, but over the years the design has lost its appeal to me. It has not aged well and has started to look a bit goofy to me. I'm more leaning towards "authentic" neo-classic bikes like the Kawasaki Z900RS these days (which can be customized to make 130hp for less than $500) and has a similarly giggle inducing engine. Also, you sit really far forward under the fuel tank, at least that's how it feels like. It reminds me a bit about supermoto ergonomics. Very different from my SV where the ergonomics are more neutral.

breakdown is gold Bob ,,one of the best channels 4sure,got the stat,got the knowledge,,cheers m8💪☘

Excellent review, thanks for sharing

They should've covered the hole where the rectifier sits. It looks incomplete.

Such a great producer of moto vids.

There’s no low seat option but there are 2 positions for handle and 2 for foot pegs which you can adjust at any time.

I have the 2021 Tracer 9GT and can confirm; the MT platform is... ::chef's kiss::

Idk of I’ve changed my mind on the look of the headlight, but I definitely think I could live with it now considering the new specs and reviews of the SP

You’re absolutely on the point buddy 👌👍👏🏽

It seems like a great value. My only gripe is the tank is a little small for what I need, but I understand that lowers the wet weight.

Excellent demo , thanks dude, i am going to buy one

Great review MB!

I see a future R9 on the way😂

I love everything that Yamaha did to the Mt09

Am getting mine in tech black in June and i CANNOT WAIT :P

I'm looking forward to what they do with the XSR. And the 700 version. I need to see an MT-09 in the flesh to know what I think about the headlight. I like the lack of plastics. The frame looks miles nicer than the old one. I like the look and sound of the exhaust.

Great review.

For bangs for your buck the MT-09 is unbeatable but in MCNs 250 test of the MT-09SP ,KTM 890R and Street triple RS they had the RS as the winner even though they gave the MT-09 the same number of stars with the 890R third.

Looks terrific value for money, the looks are a bit quirky and will put some off though. Needs a screen to tidy up the front I would probably need to add a sports screen, really don't like the exposed regulator perhaps future bolt on options will cater for this. Likewise underslung exhaust ports also seem odd. Still definitely on my options list though, wonder how good a weekend mini weekend tourer this would be? Probably going to be either this or a Kwak 900RS.

Excellent review, thanks very much.

good review bro

Gonna get this as my first bike was gonna be the MT 07 but just can't get this sound outa my head makes me happy

Great colour scheme, looks nice side on and from the rear, don't like the front light area, stunning engine, great review 👍

Great review!

Just watched this again, Bob. I am seriously considering one for use in northern Thailand. 120 miles to the nearest dealer, but that's not really a problem. I am probably the only person on here who really likes the look of this exhaust. Nice TFT, too. Not too big. And yes, I love the projector headlight.

great review!!

I still think I prefer the previous mt09 with the bug eyes I love the new 07 though

Love the way you say 'egg sauce'. I'm literally never saying exhaust again. Brilliant

I love the Storm Fluo paint scheme; I'm currently trying to find one of these through a dealer.

I hated the design at 1st, but it has really grown on me now, my local dealer had the 2020 model and the new model side by side and I honestly prefer the new shape.

Hey ! Many thanks for the Speedo Angles coupon code ! Got it for my new MT-09 ! :-) Love your channel ! For the past few months was only ogling at the MT-09 videos and finally got it on 1st June 2021 Even then I am still ogling at the MT-09 videos ! My wife and kids have had enough of me already ! :-) Life has been feeling so MT ever since !

I hated the looks first, now a few months later I love it. 🤣

I am wondering why do I always think about the KTM RC8 when I look at the exhaust of the MT-09

Liked the look of the 1st gen hated the 2nd gens droopy stick out lights and now the 3rd gen and i love the cyber punk stripped out look, best of all generations imo. Hopefully no one else likes it's looks so i get a good deal on the sp next year. Was thinking mt10 having always had litre bikes but the mt09 is now so good it just makes more sense.

There's another competitor to the MT-09....that would be the MT-09SP

Another great video mate, what do you think about the new Ducati monster as a competitor now it’s been updated, maybe more of an SP competitor? Have you ridden the new monster yet?

I've started to like the headlight design. Very futuristic and looks mean with just the drls switched on.

I like the risky direction they took with the looks, took a while but im ok with it now. While the trident looked great from the start... its starting to look more and more "typical". Theres so many other options for that sort of look now

If I was buying just one bike I'd get the 2021 mt09sp as the do it all bike, as it covers all bases for me. Luckily I'm going to have two, so I'm keeping my 2015 mt07 as my runaround and in going to buy a 2021 s1000r as my sunny weekend blaster.

I demoed it a couple weeks ago and it sounds bonkers for a stock exhaust.

The tech of this bike is impressive. If only it didn't look like a dead alien...

Wait .. what restrictions you talking about there when you talked about the sound ???

Test rode the SP yesterday, nice. Unfortunately nobody has any in stock

I heard the handle bars and foot pegs can be adjusted stock. Is that true? If yes can u have a vid showing the difference

Here in the US, they are $9399, which sounds good, until..... Out the door price? $11,283.. Not all dealers charge as much on fees, but the one by me does.. It was a bit of a shock... Still haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I want one, so probably will. Just need to shop around a bit.

Is there a way to lower the handle height without getting into any metal work?

This bike looks a lot better in person. Please Yamaha give us updated xsr's and a xsr900sp.

Hey MOTOBOB, how does MT-09 compare to MT-07 in terms on size? I have sat on '21 MT-07 but I didnt have the chance to sit on MT-09 and compare them.

Love the package, just not the packaging.. When will you get a chance to ride the new XSR900?

As many comments state. Competitors for Price are Z900, KTM 790 / 890, BMW F900R , Aprilia Shiver 900. Its was lazy to forget at least 3 major brands in the video... A bit more expensive you got new Ducati monster 937 cc.

I love my 2021 MT07. I like it more than MT09. It suits my type of driving

I cant decide whether to buy mt09 2021 or monstet 2021, does anyone got any toughts on this two beast ? :)

I hated the front lights at first but then i started to think they were alright then i bought my bike and now i like it heheh

Have 3k kms on mine already. Absolutely loving it. I also love the design and I think it’s better then previous models. Stock exhaust system is amazing, it’s just enough loud for me and even makes the “pop” noise on shifts. And man, up/down shifter is the best thing ever!!!

Front end was downright weird in the beginning but now everyone is doing it - GSX8CS(sic) . It’s a race bike with lights,indicators and rego. I’d prefer a Guzzi V1000- Italian shaft drive cafe racer.

i work in the industry. only reason everything ends with a 2, is because the tenere was £9499 on the road but road tax went up £3 last year.

Methinks à flyscreen would fit nicely, might make it look better too. Yo Bob, are you going to try out the new tracer 7?

Love it!

Money being no object would you buy a new Mt 09 ?? I enjoy your reviews Motobob keep it up and ride safe.

I’m thinking about getting one but not sure it can be lowered enough for me. 😜

What I couldn't stand on the MT07 and 10 previously, were the false air intakes. They really annoyed me. There was no aessthetic reason for them and they did nothing. The front light looks fine on both bikes. Test ride of 09 soon. Seems pretty perfect to me; I'm not a tourer. Small dash- Who cares?

Just ordered mine 😁

I have a 2018 bike and think I prefer the new look. The old twin angled headlamps transformer style just looks a bit dated now

The only gripe I have with it is the sound, 3 cylinder is fugly. 4 cylinder sound has always been my standard.

The Mt09 ist a really nice bike 👍 Thumbs up 🍀

Absolutely love this bike! But the exhaust has to go and be replaced with an aftermarket exhaust! Great review ✌🏻🇨🇦

Does the chassis get too hot, as it used to be with the old FZ1?

I would argue that the MT09 is the best in its class, for fun, reliability, and for a day to day rider. Only the Duke 890R would match in for fun but it’s a shame KTM have there reliability issues. The street triple might be a better track bike although that remains to be proven, but on the road feels a little to grown up and sensible. Having said that, all three a very good and I wouldn’t say any are the wrong choice, I’d be happy with either one but the Yamaha would take my money for ease of ownership and fun value

So someone as tall as 5’5’’ is definitely to high for me,,, also want to mention a after market exhaust it would sound much better, congratulations on your new bike.

MT09-SP is never sold in my country, so i rather have the 765 street rs, if i had to choose between the two

Powerful and agile naked. I will definitely ad a steering damper. Headlight is definitely unique, but I like it... Finally, a modern display cluster that complements the 09 update. Having test ridden the Z900 and MT09, I will go for the Yamaha without a doubt. Personally, I think that the MT09/MT10 will become cult bikes just like the VW MK 1 Golf :) I ride a 2018 MT09 and love it. To be honest I prefer the second generation over the new models. What do you guys think? The 2 head lights looks great not to mention switching to high beam... Look, i am probably biased when it comes to the headlights but the new model is worth every penny.

TF the rear Brake pedal what is it..they didnt make an aloy

Hmmm Beeline Moto, good call. Love that thing.

Nearly every first ride I have watched of the mt09 has had the rider literally laughing out loud at some stage. Proof enough for me.

Still on the Z900 side of life

Having the digit on the end makes it seem like they actually value the bike based on cost and not marketing or for as much as they think they can get for it.

The XSR 900 you complaining about has been totally revised now. All your complaints are sorted in that one. Looking forward for your review of that one.

That headlight looks about as useful as a candle in a jam jar!

Loved my 2015 MT09 in grey, I don't think this paint scheme compares to it, that "sticker" on the swing arm looks cheap and nasty. Exhaust note is nice for a standard system, could learn to live with the headlamp as long as it gives off a decent beam.

Loved it

When you are mentioning that passive cooler on the side under the seat, what is it? I was wondering what it might be but have no idea.

I really hope they release a r9 very soon
