I got a full tank of gas yesterday in my 2021 MT07 and discovered roads that I never even existed, so close to me. I spent several great hours riding. It was such a sole full filling day.
I have a 2021 MT-09 too. Instead of using the gas gauge, you can use the fuel consumption option in the instrument selection menu. It is much more accurate.
@@vireshh1059 I have heated grips, windprotectors in front of my levers, good laminated Gore-Tex clothing with removable insulation, Gore-Tex gloves with and without heating. Temperatures can drop as low as -10 degrees celcius.
OC: I had a feeling it would do really well it's a great all around bike. But you are spot on with the suspension not being set up for daily commute riding... but it's not hard to make it soft during the week and stiffen it up on the weekends for those spirited rides on the back roads. Just write down how many clicks and that way you know exactly how many clicks to set it back.
OC: Yep, hwy ride with cruise is one bag of money, add the windscreen and you can get 2 money bags. I've enjoyed it thoroughly. Also....great video as always.
I just bought a 23 SP yesterday! Best 25 miles I've have on any vehicle yet!!! Love every bit of it. Definitely needs a windscreen and fender eliminator which are on the way!
OC: really looking forward to a comparo between this new MT-09 and the new XSR900. I'll be getting one of them, and am leaning towards the XSR, but want to get some more professional takes on what makes the two bikes unique. Great job as always Chase!
Yes, I have owned one for several months so I agree with everything you have said. The suspension is a little harsh over the bigger bumps and a screen helps massively. Overall the new MT09SP is a great do everything bike. I can’t wait for your thoughts of it in the mountains, I know it’s awesome and I bet you must have found the same.
OC: yes I knew it was going to be good. I have the base model because it’s impossible to find the sp in the north east. I’m 5’6” 285lbs and I’m so in love with it. I feel like when I was a new rider all over again. I find every excuse to ride it. I can’t remember the last time I rode in the 30’s on a bike without wind protection and I’ve already done it twice in the past week. I can ride it for longer and be more comfortable than on my softail so that’s how confident I was that you’d like it because that bike has the bonus of cruise control
OC: I kinda already knew it was gonna be good, especially with the cruise control. I've got a '14 FZ-09 and aside from a bad headwind, it does great on the highway. I can't wait for a demo day to give the new SP a try!
The headwind will be exactly the same it will feel absolutlely no different riding it in a straight line. it has superioir suspension compenents if you don't enjoy twisty roads or track days this would be a pointless upgrade.
OC Fell in love when i testrode one and almost immediately ordered one after the ride. Its was a huge change coming from the godfather of MT, the MT01 but im loving every second on my sp Highway with a screen makes a huge difference. I got the touring screen from the weekend pack and it really helped out alot with the wind
Ive been researching this bike as thinking of getting a 2023 mt09 SP in January abd its looking very much that i will get it heard great reports of it. Ive watched a ton of vids of the bike i must say your review is the best review ive seen of this bike fantastic camera shots really enjoyed your video very good best ive seen to date and the camera man done a fantastic job i was hooked watching and getting your thoughts on this lovely bike. Many thanks and congratulations on the best video ive seen to date 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☺️
I am curious too, you don't have the larger back section of the seat on the xsr and I've heard multiple reviewers say how nice the mt-09's seat is for highway/commuting.
You know that the average consumption is 5 litres/100 km. So the range is 280 km. Starting with a full tank, you know that you should start looking for a gas station at the 200 km mark😉
The Puig touring windshield on my 2020 SP makes a substantial difference at higher speeds - I am confident that by now there is a solution available for the new/current model😊
OC: between 500 and 600 miles, the suspension will adjust to your body weight. It won’t be aggressive/harsh anymore, it will be sporty firm and accurate. The Yamaha screen makes a whole lot of difference. I have the same bike.
That is not how suspension components work... yes the oil breaks down and needs proper servicing depending on how often you ride. You are supposed the adjust the suspension to your riding style and weight depending on the adjustments you have.
@@alexduey7868 unfortunately, I did not adjust nothing. My head stopped vibrating in my helmet after a while. come to think of it, there is no manual for adjusting your weight and ride style with your suspension setting, it is all trial and error.
I love my 2016 Yamaha FZ09. I adjusted the stock suspension and made it firmer then stock. It’s not as pogo E, Pogostick. Just have to get used to the suspension. I live in Las Vegas and really don’t do that much highway miles. My FZ09 is just like a steroid out supermoto
likewise I got a 2016 but I got Wilbers rear and fork suspension and it makes a world of a difference! still ride it everyday! Just bought a Power Vision 3 From Dynotune, mann does that make a difference in the throttle response!
I've never seen a windscreen that looks good on a naked bike that a) that doesn't blow a ton of turbulent wind up under my helmet or b) blow a ton of turbulent air at the top / sides of my helmet or c) doesn't do anything at all. Give me all of that good clean air! Or, you know, maybe if I get to the point when I'm 75 years old where I absolutely can't stand to have some wind blow on me, I'd probably just get a bike that was designed to have a proper functional windscreen and fairing.
I have a Duke 390 and used to have the power restricted version of the MT07 (limited to 52hp). I'm thinking about getting the MT09 SP. I would get an MT07 or XSR700 but the suspension sucks so I just think the MT09 SP is a better buy even if it means I have to save some more money.
I sold my car earlier this year and ended up buying a '21 09 non sp. Use it daily for work and obviously weekend fun and I absolutely love it, always in Mode 1 and TCS M unless it's raining where I'll go mode 2 and tcs 1
YOOOO, I know those pro tips! I'm glad they worked for you bro. OC: with the MT line being mostly good all around, I'm not too surprised. I didn't consider just softening the suspension making it even more versatile. Shouldn't be that hard to do either... good deal!
Giving a subjective rating is perfectly valid, but recently the videos have been lacking comparisons with other bikes. Therefore, without being reminded of your preference during rides it is impossible to have a personal reference for you score of 9. Really liked watching your vids before when you referenced other bikes during a review.
OC: with the cruise I figured it would be good. Would love to see a updated highway review if Yamaha would slap a windscreen on it for testing purposes.
Stunning roads and scenery there, thanks for sharing! Ps. You are pretty much responsible for my change from a CB1000R+ to an MT09 - hopefully collect in a few weeks, can't wait! 😁😎👍🏼 Ps. OC
OC: Absolutely love commuting on my SP. The seat slide is a serious pro tip too. I’m glad you have the same perspective on this bike as I do. Looking forward to your mountain ride
I don't know if it is too sporty for commuting, but for a fact I know how fast and tempting this bike is, definitely wouldn't dare to ride it with a paper hat such as RUROC, you have balls.
no fairing for long road trip would kinda suck and i would have adjusted those clickers right away........soften up compression 3 or 4 clicks......actually first thing is to make sure they are in the standard setting to begin with......be surprised how bikes ive bought where clickers werent even close to the factory stock setting.........suspension is the make or break for any motorcycle.....its the first thing i start messing around with
I don't have an issue with the gas gauge , I always refuel my vehicle at around 3/8 tank and if I go on a trip I am aware of roughly how far I have travelled since the last fill.
My XSR900 is fun to commute on BUT, this cruise control added to it would make me very happy because I struggle not speeding when commuting primarily and would consider my bike too sporty for commuting in the fact that I have a really hard time not speeding. lol. Cruise control would allow me to set it and leave it alone at 80 or less like you did.
OC - once more. Love you thought on the 09SP and the MT07 - out to get a new bike and thinking off the 09Sp over the 07 But the power difference is massive to me. It's the first bike. But love the way it Handels
I have a 2023 MT 09 SP, you can't use full throttle in 1st 2nd or 3rd even in ride mode 3 with traction/lift control 2. These bikes are too fast, too wheelie prone and too twitchie for street use. It will exceed the hiway speed limits in 1st gear. Definitely go with the 07.
I thought I was the only one who goes to the same gas station by my house before a road trip to start the trip off with a fresh and full tank.. Something about starting full and being able to power the miles haha
Glad to say the 2024 MT-09 updates fixed all the ugliness about the MT styling. Also made cruise control part of the base model, fixed the switchgear, gave it a 5" TFT that can actually be read, increased quickshifter function, improved suspension rates, added custom settings modes, lowered the tank, handlebars, increased steering lock-to-lock angle, converted it to a double seat, USB-C port under the passenger seat, mobile phone integration with display, better headlight design sitting lower on the forks, better tail light design. New Brembo master cylinder. And more.
I bought the 2020 mt09 a while back but then moved to florida where 90% of the roads where I live are straight. It does great at highway speeds but I miss the twisties like up north. Though I wish I had the cruise control.
@@DudePlays247 ayyy how is it? I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing! Edit: I also have the 21’ 07! Just hit 10k miles! I think I’m gonna try and master wheelies first though before I upgrade!
@@TypicalMT wheelies are so easy with both the 07 and 09 (easiest on the 09). The 09sp just feels better in every way, better riding position, wide handlebars, ohlins suspension which is amazing once youeve adjusted it properly, more power and torque, and you get that amazing 3 cylinder whine from the engine. Plus so far fuel economy has been about 45mpg for me. On the 07 i was averaging 55mpg.
@@DudePlays247 damn 55 mpg?!?!? I’m at 42😂 Yeee i had never been on a bike before up until the June. I’m like inches from balance point, my body is at noon but my bike is almost there. But baby steps! Oh even better to show how easy the mt07 is to wheelie. If you go back on the channel to the 2021 first ride video! I was commenting how I didn’t even know how to get the front wheel off the ground yet😂 Edit: 2021 mt07 first ride video
The mt 09 has a feature in the menu fuel consumption, it counts down from 14 ltrs reset after every fill low fuel light comes on at ten ltrs very accurate why is everyone whining about the fuel gauge with this awesome tech ffs
The king of highways for the price is my Kawasaki Concours with an ATLAS MOD for cruise control wind protection with is huge fairing electronic ajustable windscreen 1400 cc 158 hp and 137 nm of torque 101lbft its a missile on the highway and for commute in town with is inline 4 engine its smooth i can do 50 kmh in 6 gears with no problem.
Could you test MT07 and 09 with windscreen, at least the middle one? Otherwise it does not make much sense to test them on highways, where everyone uses windscreens anyway.
My bike has range of 500km (310miles) and something. So if I want to burn all my gas it is super long day of riding. So the feeeling you are talking about is so much more powerfull :D
Yamaha Super Nekad is really marvelous. The best design among the super nekad are the MV Agusta Dragster/Brutale and Kawasaki Z1000, Z900 & Z800.. other brand do have the look of super naked as the fuel tank do not have the nekad design.
So, think this could make a bike for occasional long trips? a windscreen, Soften the suspension and throw on some sadlebags? I'd think so. I had a bike with similar Ohlins (I believe these are similar to my R1M) and I could make it where the suspension would be good enough for riding in the city, just that that bike didn't care to be riden "calmly" (ig to got, etc), but then I could stiffen it up for aggressive riding/track days. Looking now for a Naked bike, and between this (SP version), XSR900, and MT-10 are my top choices now. I want a sporty bike that will commute and be good for the occasional trip or track day (rather than have two bikes)
The 1st gear power wheelies it's hard to keep front down if you trying to take off fast to sneak onto a two way road from a side road when all the cars are spread far enough apart that it don't give you much room to go and get on the road when they are coming from both directions constantly forever!
a "high speed active commuter" i am calling the Yamaha CEO Yoshihiro Hidaka to change the category from "Hyper Naked" to "high speed active commuter" :D
How come you don't use indicators when changing lanes? It might save your life one day if you get in the habit of letting those around you know what you're doing.
What's i've noticed riding my 21 mt-09, up to half (big bar) is about 80 miles and little ones is about 20 miles per. I usually get about 140 miles full tank on 91(CA) gas filling up 3.34ish gallon.
