Yamaha MT09 2024 vs XSR900 GP Test Ride Comparison
Hey everyone! Welcome to an exhilarating Yamaha Live Weekend experience! Join me as I take on a back-to-back test ride of two of Yamaha's most anticipated models: the all-new Yamaha MT09 2024 and the stunning Yamaha XSR900 GP.
In this video, you'll get an up-close look at both bikes, their features, and my personal impressions as I put them to the test. From the aggressive, streetfighter vibe of the MT09 to the retro-inspired elegance of the XSR900 GP, we'll dive deep into what makes each of these machines unique.
I'll cover:
Performance & Handling: How do they fare in different riding conditions?
Design & Aesthetics: Which bike grabs more attention and why?
Comfort & Ergonomics: How do they feel on longer rides?
Technology & Features: What's new and exciting in these 2024 models?
After the rides, I'll share which one I prefer and why. Whether you're a fan of modern performance or vintage style with a punch, this comparison is for you. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more motorcycle adventures!
Stay tuned till the end to find out which Yamaha bike wins my heart! 🏍️💨

If I had to choose definitely the XSR 👍🏼

@thatbikersimon Ай бұрын

it’s got to be the best looking sports retro of 2024. It was a pleasure to ride

I sold my 2022 MT09SP last year, I found the lack of decent fairing and wind noise/ buffeting (even with Puig mid size screen) to be hard to deal with when on long freeway trips, but way too much fun around town.

You could certainly get yourself into trouble with the MT09 beasty, but yes it’s probably not the best for longer distances. What did you buy instead?

For almost every year I have preferred the aesthetics of the XSR, but the MT/FZ looks great this year. Might look better with the XSR bars and light, though.

Quite the demo fleet - R7 looks fantastic, love the XSR and the GP. MT09's trail bike riding position is too upright for anything above town speeds, and the bulbous tank, Darth Vadar headlight and cyan wheels are... well, you wouldn't look back at it after a ride.

@thatbikersimon 28 күн бұрын

There’s to much choice, I’m my ideal world one of each would work for me, but if I had to pick one it would be the MT-09, saying that I’ve not riden the new SP version yet.

What’s the seat like on the xsrgp, is it the same as xsr. Hard??

@thatbikersimon Ай бұрын

I personally didn’t find it to bad but I’m use to riding a racing seat on a R6 so anything would feel better than that. I’ve not riden a XSR for a while so I could compare it to anything

Would not have killed them to price the MT-09 at £9999, not impressed by the build quality of 2020 XSR900 nor the 2018 700 Tracer, and both had clunky gearboxes and did not run that well on very hot days. Well under 10k on both, BTW. In the end, went back to Triumph but Honda was also tempting.

There’s a lot of choice out there for sure. I agree on the price it would of made a difference but they’ve got a good bike for 2024 I think it’s takes some beating

@stevecoinitin7521 27 күн бұрын

Neither. I kept hearing about a comp on the radio to win a MT 09. Now I see it, it's just another modern style bike that ain't my cup of tea. Think I started backing away from bikes at some point after 2008 based on looks alone! I was close to buying a 2nd hand 600 Divvy with half fairing. Respectable, reliable, lower cost to run, but regret not buying it. A few years later I saw it's replacement and was horrified! And now it's a come theme, jacked up/trail bike look. And why would I want an aggressive look styled bike....no thanks! As for the tech on bikes these days, that's even more off putting! Guess it's the EU at it again, killing off already pretty safe bikes if ridden responsibly. But the EU just love the few idiot bikers making headlines to throw the book at bikers and give them no option to buy a simple, low cost bike without needless expensive clutter on them. Yes, I can go with fuel injection and ABS on bigger bikes, but nothing else! Modern bikes are pretty much a copy of modern cars. Gotta have aggressive looks whilst still looking the same blandness as each other!

@thatbikersimon 26 күн бұрын

I get what you're saying, but I don't really agree. While the MT-09 and many modern bikes might not be to your taste, I think there's a lot to appreciate about the advances in technology and design. Bikes have become safer and more efficient, and the aggressive looks appeal to many riders today. I also believe that regulations, whether from the EU or elsewhere, aim to enhance safety and performance rather than limit our choices. And even though modern bikes might seem similar, there's still a variety out there to suit different preferences. While classic styles have their charm, embracing some of the new features doesn't necessarily mean compromising on the joy of riding.
