2019 Yamaha MT09 SP | Test Ride 

Always ensure to adjust the suspension to your weight😉

@@SirMountainpass first thing I did mate. It was unrideable before that.

@@SirMountainpass Are you calling me fat ?

The earlier models had that problem and were famous for it but now People keep telling me it is fixed.

what's too stressful about it?

Just my way of saying it’s a maniac, amazing, crazy, beautiful bike, that can make you lose your license in a second. I became stressed about that fact (I need my license)...

@@VPB1970 Nice way of putting it! Made me laugh, obrigado

@@VPB1970 what did u replace it with if u replaced it

@@TreyyDaMenaceFan Ups...that a good question: first of all i now have 3 so i can say i "replaced" with my 2nd SuperTenere, but then i could have replaced it with my Moto Guzzi V7. The other is a scooter so it not for the same kind of task...I "fell" (in my "mechanical heart") i replaced it with my italian temperamental girlfriend...it slower (much) but a better (and much more intense) "vibe"...lol.

there is a slight difference between STD and A mode.

@@SplendidCookie not on top end speed just delivery. I did track sessions in all modes and smoother is faster for holding lines. Std was the best for this on my 15 model with full akra. 19 model may be different...

i rotated my bars forward slightly and it made a big difference for me. Much comfier and abit more over the front. That being said.. i've found myself adjusting the SP's suspension, bars etc more than any other bike ive had

@@olivertaylor7427 You can't dial out the geometry for front end feel, but you can learn to trust it. Have you tracked it yet?

Thanks 👍

Bonkers engine for sure!

Hey there, thanks for checking out my videos. I actually have a Niken video review from last year when it first released, hope you check it out. Thanks for the comparison to Chase! He's a great Motovlogger! All the best, Dan

You won't be disappointed,, great bikes

I prefer the MT-07 honestly

@@mindspinn311 Why do you prefer the MT-07? I can't make up my mind between the two.

bmwm3man I like the twin engine character more, the ergos, the fuel economy, it’s a more relaxed and easy going bike that can still be sporty when you want. The 09 is more of a hardcore hooligan and if I want a triple I prefer Triumph.

@@mindspinn311 Thanks a lot. I think you made my decision for me.

But it's over £2k more expensive. I prefer my 650R.

Nope, still a KYB but the dealer said it had full Ohlins. Also if you check the website it basically leads you to believe that it has Ohlins forks. Very misleading.

its a special edition model so it is expected to have a bit of upgrades from its base model

The MT09SP has full Ohlins You were riding an SP

@@phantombigballs8165 Nope, I thought so too but it doesn't have Ohlins forks at all. KYB forks, although they've marketed it very sneakily online as sounding like it has. I'll post a video below from Yamaha.

😂

The Triple Rider I didn’t find it smooth or relaxing to ride, constantly aware that I had to be careful with the throttle. Although I’m not an experienced rider, so it may be down to that.

I saw someone else say that and I can sort of understand where you are coming from. I actually found the MT10 less stressful to ride.

@@LickyDischarge a lot of fun with this bike

Spot on, my mistake.

EnglishBikerDan great video nonetheless, mate 👍🏻

Really? That's a shame.

heykat18 they dont?

Luan Le Nguyen in the US we don’t get any of SP models.

it's in Canada? why not us

Tank scallops are the dumbest angle, not matching the knees whatsoever. On the XSR700 they are correct, the 900 they are upside down.

John Neomaster pretty much the reasons I sold mine! Fun briefly, then just stressful.

Fair enough, it's a very raw experience for sure and I only rode it for an hour!

@Teddy Dragon Slayer basically theyre are saying its scares them , I'm 62 im loving this bike and the power and the light front end

That is why he said it needs some respect when we ride the Mt09. Coz that thing is a beast!

Yep, new bike, new clutch biting point, not used to the throttle. Happens easily.

I wouldn't say better, I'd say more expensive and different. 😉

I preferred the MT10 to be honest as it felt more balanced and I had more fun. Power wheelies in 3rd anyone? 😁

That's cool, whereabouts are you from?

@@Englishbikerdan I live in Aldershot at the moment, I actually just finished my 5 day training from Excelerate in Mychette. Got my tests soon so hopefully all goes well but only getting my A2.

@@Ritalin10mg Very cool, I think I did my CBT there with Steve. Older guy with white hair. Although I did mine in 2004! I used to work just up the road too.

Almost as weird watching barron von grumble park outside aldershot blockbusters!

Very different bikes. Both have pros and cons.

Which engine is louder?

@@TheLandichoChannel Depends what exhaust.

The one you used in your other video, I think it is called akrapovic full exhaust?

@@TheLandichoChannel I've had Akra full systems on many bikes and I'd say they are equally loud.

I see in the comments you already replayed.. 😁

Yeah, sneaky marketing on the Yamaha website made it sound like it had Ohlins suspension all round.

you weight the same as a small child that's why when your 6ft an weight 15stone it's no good

Going to be trying Super view on my new videos which is wider.

can have more fun on the mt09sp but better top speeds on the cbr id take the mt09 myself good all round bike

It's an entirely different animal. The CB650R is quite sedate in comparison except for the top end where it just seems to keep going!

I'm afraid I can't advise on that as I only had it for an hour.

Agreed, not sure what distance you'd get out of this but same size tank as an MT07 and way more thirsty!

I was away for a bit but back in action!

790 😁

Price and suspension. In the UK the Cb650r is less than £7k.

Good question! I'd say Duke 790. 🤔😊

I doubt it to be honest, I've heard these are quite thirsty beasts but it really depends how you ride.

Ooh tricky. I'd say the Duke is a bit more aggressive.

@@Englishbikerdan thanx 👍

Very different bikes, test both and see which you prefer. 👍

@@Englishbikerdan Cant mate! The stands dont have test bikes, and the ones that arrive are all sold! I did manage to see one like yours i find the tank deposit area very small....

This video was sponsored by B&Q

I feel like that's a real con, on the website it says "Ohlins rear shock and adjustable forks". Very sneaky marketing! Thanks for the info!

I did. Meant I couldn’t flat foot and didn’t like it.

@@unenthusiast I think I was flat footed or near it anyway. It's not something I noticed anyway!

KYB forks. As I mentioned somewhere in another comment, Yamaha don't mention the this in their marketing spiel. They make it sound like it has full Ohlins with how they've worded it. Still, nice forks!

Always!

Hahaha I dunno where you're from (you might know this anyway) but snatch has slang connotations in the UK which make that comment kinda funny to read.

@@assortedpov We're from the UK too, he's my buddy just being rude 😂

@@Englishbikerdan Oh, shoulda realised it was a deliberate joke! Duh

@@assortedpov Haha don't worry. You'll see more of that clown on my tour videos!

Sorry mum! 😂

?

@@Englishbikerdan the forks are KYB, not Ohlins. Ohlins rear shock, or it is in Oz.

@@midlifebiker7424 You are right, on the website they say "Ohlins rear shock and adjustable forks". Very sneaky as it lead me to believe they meant both items are Ohlins. I am a bit disappointed in the way they've done that.

@@Englishbikerdan easily done Dan, I just got the CB650R in black and thought it had a fault with the front indicators permanently on... Ive put the R&G tail tidy on which is a bit on the big side but will add a ventura sports rack when they're available for my pillion. I will add the meter screen in the hope it blocks some aussie sun from the screen as even on the brightest setting its dim through a dark visor. I want to change the levers, Clutch is a stretch and grab point is at the end, plus a quickshifter, bar mirrors and eventually full exhaust. Not much available for them in Oz so have to get it from UK or states. It will probably be a street triple rs by the time im finished haha, which was the main competitor for my wallet this time around.

@@midlifebiker7424 Great bike, watch out for water under your seat although you probably get a bit less rain than we do! In love with the 790 Duke at the moment, I really need to try the Street Triple R or RS next as I think that's the way I will go eventually!
