New 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP Update Announced: Everything You Need To Know! 

Yamaha, just shut up and take my money. This bike is a straight win. I am absolutely getting it as soon as it comes out. I personally love the keyless, all my cars are, so happy for the bike now too, which will hopefully help as a theft deterrent device.

Bloody fantastic! It was great before... now it is even better and finally beautiful. Yamaha is killing it right now. First the GP and now this. ❤ Keyless is crap though. I just want to have a simple key. Thanks for the quick, superb video! Only SP for me! Hope it still comfortable for tall riders. Lower bars and the new S23 are a win.

The changes made were the only reason I picked the 890R instead, mainly the brakes. This is going to be a gem!

Something beautiful about putting a key in a motorbike, part of the experience✌🏽

With the new position and the new brake, they sre Clearly going toward a track machine instead of s wheelie machine. I have the sp 21 and i love it. That new 2024 looks even greater!

I've been watching this on repeat. By far the best video out right now showcasing the new 2024 MT-09. I appreciate all the work you put into this. It has me so excited! I will be selling my '22 MT-07 and picking up the new MT-09 SP as soon as they're available. This bike looks beautiful from every angle. Yamaha nailed the front end this time, I love how you can see the LED's from the side...gives the bike a very aggressive look. So many tech features to love also, especially for myself transitioning from a bare bones MT-07. That 3rd gen quickshifter is calling my name, I've never used one. Yamaha all the way!

Nice one Bob. Thank you. Love keyless in cars, prefer a key for two wheels. Perhaps this will change as in the 80’s and 90’s when ABS started to appear on two wheels I was on the side of never wanting it on any bike. Now I’m happy it’s there even if it never get used.

Gen 2 is still the best headlight for me

I prefer the aggressive look of the old tank, the way it slopes forward towards the front of the bike, the new tank looks a bit flatter on the top!!

You did a same day update! nice work Bob!!

Nice updates, here's to the R1 being updated with the Brembos at EICMA next week too!!

Maybe I’ve missed it, but I think clutchless downshifts while accelerating are quite important to mention, thanks for the great video💪🏼

Absolutely love the backend of this bike... WOW, what an amazing-looking bike!!

Keyless for me is good as it saves time and reach time to on the bike. Saves a heap of a hassle of reaching keys in pocket. I have a 2023 Tech Max which I love the features

Looks good, and nice that Yamaha have slapped some decent stoppers on there too! I was thinking of 890R as the next bike, but I might need to take one of these out

after having keyless on my 2022 Superduke Evo for ignition, steering lock and gas cap, id say on this bike I'd prefer a regular key. But it seems everyone will eventually go fob

Honestly, the only reason i wanted the sp was for the cruise, with it being standard on the base model now, they saved me a little bit.

I can't unsee a mini welding mask covering the headlight..lol

Very nice looking bike… had the 2021 standard and the 2021 SP. day nigh difference… I’ll go 100% with the SP model. No question asked

Keyless is not a big deal. I prefer old school key. No need for battery for the keys.

I like keyless ignition on a bike because I'm annoyed at having to put my gloves on after taking the key out of my pocket, start the bike, then put the key back in my pocket, then I can put on my gloves. I would love a keyless ignition... Walk up to the bike fully geared up, hop on it and go

The MT09 finally looks like a motorcycle. I never really considered buying a new motorcycle, but this could be the Jack of all trades i´ve been waiting for.

Good upgrades, but what's up with the rectangle light in the middle of the headlight assembly? Seems uglier than before. Let's hope the windscreen will help somehow with this.

Great information .I have had few MT09s and they all have improved with each new model release. I currently have the MT09SP 2022, looks like it could be replaced now in 2024. I am a short legged rider hope they have not change the seat height.

I've got a 2020 MT09SP i only paid £800 pounds more it was well worth it what absolutely brilliant bike. Never liked the GEN 3 but the new sp is well worth considering.

Keyless ignition on a motorcycle sounds great, and it is great in terms of convenience....until that system stops working correctly. They're pretty susceptible to interference, and my KTM 1290 SAS has had its fair share of issues with the fob not being detected at times. Multiple full batteries, changing pockets and finally testing it in the storage up near the dash. Turns out my new, larger phone was causing some interference. Probably the Wi-Fi, BT and NFC all being on all the time...but at this point I am fully over my "keyless fob" feature. FFS, just give me a damn key. The last thing any KTM needs is another thing to break/stop working, because they've already won that contest, lol.

Looks much better! But don’t like the keyless option

Great another bike video without any on the road biking or touching a bike fantastic

I just don't understand motorcycle companies today. 20 years ago you'd have a motorcycle model in production for 3 or 4 years. Now they're making new models every year. How you do get parts for a 5 year old model if it was 4 models ago?

I love the look of the SP. the color is great I hope they keep up with it. I want one

There are just too many awesome bikes to choose from! MT-09, XSR900 GP, or fingers crossed... the R9.

In the U.S. the 2024 MT-09 Sp is $12,299 plus dest., the 2023 was $11,499 plus dest. The standard 09 (2024) is $10,599 plus dest.

Lets wait for the 2024 MT10 then

Yeah, if I'd go for an MT, it would be the 09 and it would be the SP version. Anything else would be missing the point. I've been slowly upgrading my 2020 CB1KR to meet the kinds of features built into the SP. The only thing I won't be able to get (decently) is cruise control. And of course, the connectivity stuff and great TFT display. But, I can wait on that. Next year, the rear shock update is coming. :) Yippeee!

Wow. It’s really getting better. Love the change in headlight. Much better. I hope the mt10 gets some of this treatment too.

Im already planning on trading in my 2019 SP for this. Looks amazing. Only thing im not keen on is the keyless ignition.

My new duke 890 rear shock seal gave out with only 1200 on the odo so I’m definitely going to trade it in for this SP

im buying one the triple engine is perfect and the new brakes styling beautiful.

Nice review

seen some of the 25 model which I probably will wait for.

I don't care about the Keyless. But the Brembo callipers might allow the legal upgrade of those callipers on the base mt09 here in Germany. And that's fabulous news, if they bring out the R9 with the same forks.

Ok , but R9

Looks like they’re moving the bike posture a little closer to the Street Triple.

Definitely looking better.

Finally MT09 is likeable. Looks way better than prev gen

SP all day. There were a few at Philip Island for the World Superbikes, standard and SP versions. Riders were enthusiastic about them.

this is a massive win for yamaha the tweeks make all the difference

Looks better, nice!👍🏻

Absolutely love it..could be trading the 07 in for this machine

I had to sell my 21 MT09SP as I couldnt put it in my moving pod. I will be getting the new 24 or R9, I havnt decided yet. But with the lower bars and rear sets moved I may just go with the MT.

Any info on what is happening with the xsr900? Is it going to get that same new dash and connectivity...?

It looks WAY better then the last two years. I may be upgrading from my MT 07 to this one next year.

The base model is an extra 900 dollars over the 2023 model in the states,so I expect the SP to be at least £2k over the base model in the UK

Defo the SP version for me, if I was in the market! I had the 2021 model and I loved it. If I did'nt have a 2020 BMW R 1250 R, would any day choose a Yamaha MT 09 SP, SUCH a good bike, so can only imagine that the new 2024 will be even better

Keyless… NO NO NO! Everything else looks like a great update.

I have the gen 3 sp bought it in June absolutely love it I would buy the standard version as it's got everything you need as for keyless on the sp I'm not a big fan I had it on my BMW f900 and wasn't keen

Sp is worth every penny!

I really consisded buying the 2023 mt09 sp but when I looked in person I was very Disappointed in the looks, the tiny tft and crappie brakes etc however this 2024 model looks to have addressed everything I didn't like with the previous model.. I will look forward to a close inspection hopefully at the NEC bike show

Brilliant bike worth every penny

Some great updates. Love the brand already owning an MT10 and XSR900. BUT. Keyless is a huge turn off for me. I've had a bike with it and it was a nightmare. Why Yamaha, why!

Came out of Fort William in the truck, spotted something on the road...a BMW keyless fob...someone could then be 2hrs away before the bike is immobilised ,stupid idea on a motorcycle...i phoned the dealer,and told him to expect a call...left it with the Police!

So did did anything changed soundwise ? I is it quiter the the 2023 modell or is it all the same ?

So WHAT’s the suspension upgrade exactly? Stiffer spring and new set up? For me meaningful upgrade is new caliper

Im ok with the base mt09

Brembo brakes I'm assuming that this model gets the brembo master cyl too like base model

Keyless is useful for us who ride in dangerous towns

The front headlight needs to go back to the 2020 version, they're almost there...

they have to make this mt09 sp model a R9 model!! will sell like crazy! i want one!

steering damper would be nice on this bike

Do i get the SP 2023 or wait till march next year and get the base modal the 2023 SP modal on offer at the moment

Hi! For me, the more important question is whether it is worth paying (at least here in Austria) most likely 2.000-2.300 Euro more for the SP variant. Considering how little extra the SP variant brings compared to the normal one (now the normal MT-09 comes with cruise control and Quickshifter), I think many will go for the "basic" one. Thanks for the videos Motobob, keep them coming! 😊✌🏼

Cant wait to see how the 2024 MT10 evolved! MT 9 best in class IMHO.

I don’t understand why they released my XSR900 with the smaller screen when they had this 5” unit waiting. A bit annoying.

Head light is definitely a improvement to the last one

Valuable

If only it didn’t have that random rectangle in the middle of the headlight assembly. Almost good looking.

yea not a fan really brakes defo nice and needed but everything else meh all tho i do like the shape of the new tank that would be cool for an option for the 21/22 models

One of the most amazing bikes in the world just got better!

did they finally fixed TPS sensor issues this this one?

This new redesign has been heavily borrowed from their little known 150cc bike that's been available in India since 2015. The M Slaz. If only they went the whole 9 yards. That little thing is a true beaut. This Gen of the Mt 09 left a lot to be desired looks wise. On this one, It's a big improvement over the base model.

SP upgrades are definitely worth the extra money.

Torn between this and the Street Triple 765. I can't be the only one.

I think the regular MT09 is worth the money over this version of the SP. Feels like the regular MT09 is basically an SP just with all the new upgrades in my opinion.

Top bike !

Yamaha finally has a decent face back!

We need the video for the new Hypermotard

Nice vid. Looks like a great spec. Although I couldn't care less about it being keyless. Seems like a pointless gimmick with more cons than pros to me.

Not a fan of keyless. Brembo brakes are a real plus point, I think the price will go up a lot though.

How much is this SP going to cost? I've got the 2021 SP, I might consider upgrading.

I just wanna know can I switch out this headlight and put the gen 2 headlight on it gen 2 headlight is unbeatable and the best one they made

Getting a new bike tjus year. Mt09. Xsr09. Speed 765. What to choose

I have been looking for something like this. The MT09 SP may be my next bike. I was thinking seriously about the KTM 990 Duke. It looks great in reviews but is is a KTM and there is nothing cool about missing big chunks of the riding season with your bike in the shop. I have spoken with owners of earlier models of the MT09 and they gush like smitten young girls about them. Current KTM owners are still in love, but former KTM owners tell different stories. Stories I do not want to live through. I need reliability and excitement in my life as far as my bike is concerned. To me, the SP is worth the extra cost. YMMV.

I prefer a good mechanical key.

They need to take the cyclops light out and it would look alot better lol. They took the 2018 light and last lights and smashed them together lol. They 2018 lights are undefeated so far

sounded great until you said they lowered the bars and raised the foot pegs. that was the whole attraction for me that its sporty but you sit upright without your knees bent too much so its more comfortable to ride.

Looks good and the sp is definitely worth the xtra 1500

INFELIZMENTE AQUI NO BRASIL AINDA SÃO PRODUZIDAS AS MT-09 DE 2° GERAÇÃO, POR ISSO COMPRAMOS HONDA QUE ESTÃO SEMPRE ATUALIZADAS COMO A CB 650 OU A CB 1000.

Can you bump start a keyless bike?

key less more to go wrong

With the keyless, Could somebody try to ride away on the bike if say you're paying at the petrol station? Is there any option to turn it off and just have a normal key?
