Triple treat! Why the 2024 Yamaha MT-09 is one of the best sporty nakeds on sale | MCN Review 

2021 model also has an up and down quickshifter from the factory. The '24 model just gets the next gen software so it works off throttle up and on throttle down.

Invaluable historical context, peer comparison and unsurpassed delivery.... Primo Can't wait for your light/middle weight sport bike group test... Zx4RR, CBR600RR, R7 , ZX6R etc...

Ok now I want one. 😊 Great review Carl!

Seems a fantastically well-rounded bike, now! In the competitive company, it's now kind of no-brainer. Yamaha's reliability can't be matched by any of the European brands. I'd MUCH rather spend time riding than socializing with my dealer/mechanic/or by myself in the garage all damn night! That's real-world ownership-experience value.

Nearly got an mt09 in 2013 - early pre ABS - and the only thing that stopped me was the poor p/e the dealer offered. I brooded and got something bigger and faster instead,; nice, but maybe the mt09 would've been ridden more. This new mt09 is probably all the bike I need. An sp would be wasted. Mmmm.

The MT series have been the ugliest bikes Yamaha has ever produced.

the entire motorcycle industry just straight up forgot how to make a headlight look good, huh

wish the mt10 looked as good as this. That thing is disgusting

This bike is fire. Dayum Yamaha

Mine is on order, can't wait!

Still looks like a lotta weight over the rear wheel but great to hear front end feel has improved. Hopefully front brake feel better too.

VALUE FOR MONEY, Its the best right now. Imagine buying two 2024 MT 09 for the price of one european bike. NO BRAINER MAN.

Bigger fuel tank please

Carl, has the ABS intervention improved, or does it still kick in way too early? The previous gen's system was too conservative, both in base and SP-form...

I been waiting for this

Is cruise control standard on all mt09 2024 or just SP?

Great vid

Excellent review 😊

I'd still quite like a Mk1. Good review. Good reviewer.

any idea, in which area did the new model gained weight?

This chassis has the same problem as the previous one?

Great review, I got mine or order!

I’d have one!

I said that MT-09 is fucking dangerous bike . Fucking suspension ! Maybe I am wrong now in 2024 because Yamaha has changing his suspension but I am still angry against this MT-09

Hey man, wich one sounds better? 2023 or the new 2024 model? Do u think there will be after marked exhausts for the 2024 Euro 5 plus model?

Why would you downshift while opening the throttle though? Vice versa why would you upshift and not be getting on the throttle.

Why cant we turn on de subtitles, pity for those whos hearing is not 100%

Is it worth it to upgrade from a 2023 model?

Hi, guys. Checkout my GTA San Andreas motorcycle videos : ru-vid.com/group/PLI6Vqibp8n8f2gsZWm_B1QdUvvpe40eh2&feature=shared

The previous generation came with a QS+Blipper standard too. And what do you mean it feels like a supernaked? It is a supernaked......specially that the R9 is in the line which is a supersport

Am I the only one who likes digital panels than TFT ones.?

Looks a little like the first xsr900

I have an sv650 that I use daily for my commute. I have a 47km twisty commute with no traffic whatsoever (I can take the highway which is much faster but so damn boring) . I love the SV, but I've been thinking of stepping up to a more fun ride. I might just consider this. I've been looking at the Z900 but I've never test ridden one and I don't know anyone who has a Z900 that I can ask. I tried considering the GSXS-1000 cuz it's pretty good for the price. I have an affinity to Japanese bikes, which is why I haven't considered European manufacturers, although an MV Agusta Rush wouldn't be too bad, just can't afford it.

Second fiddle to the Street Triple in every regard. Especially looks

2:04 why can't yamaha give us this type of exhaustsystem?

How is the low down fuelling?

What a great review - thank you. Is it more fun than a Tuono V4?

That front light nacelle is hideous imo

I just want the screen

2:30 Not tall, but what about kinda short, kinda chunky?

Whens that r9 coming???

I think the mark one version looked far better.

I really don't understand why everyone is so happy about cruise control... my 2023 SP has it... I've used it one time... absolutely unnecessary.

i don't know why it's face looks like megatron from transformers 😂

This year's changes are all because of the upcoming R9

Dynamically this is the best naked per dollar on the road. The gas tank ? Umm 🤔

With every new version of the MT09, Yamaha manages to successfully make it uglier. The headlight on this is horrendous. The best thing is the engine, I'd much prefer an xsr with a modified rear end and seat cowl.

I just don't like the way it looks...

2021 was not a new Motor .. It was the same Motor with a longer stroke , more Torque and better MPG

Yamaha once made the most beautiful looking motorcycles you could buy from the japanese manufacturers. Now they make the ugliest in the motorcycle industry

The Mt09 seems a small bike, I wish it was a bit bigger.

Color is awful

Iwish I had before I die but almost half million here..so sad can't make it I'm getting old and my salary is $10 a days🥹🥹🥹

Great review. Thank you. I’m looking forward to test riding one.

FYI the previous gen also came with a quickshifter and auto blipper on the standard model.

The new master cylinder helps with braking too.

The engine puts it right in that sweet spot where you get to punch through the gears , really keeping you involved, rather than hitting lose your licence speeds in 2nd like you can on a super naked...and it screams like a banshee when you give it handful

Looks like a great bike. I'll stick with my 21 SP for now though.

19" front, 18" rear (tyre choice),lower the suspension, would make a great flattracker?

New '24 MT-09 video to fuel my excitement. Thank you!

Italian Designer for the MT10 PLEASE

Can’t wait to get mine!🥳

Try putting your butt on the rear seat and stretching out into a race tuck. The MT-09 has one continuously moulded seat which lets you slide back and forth between an upright commute position and an aggressive lean across the tank. Go for it!

God i cannot wait for the R9 with the bits of an Mt09 SP.

Great review, thanks! Would be incredible if you did a comparison video vs. the new 990 Duke.

I want one now.

Very good review. You were ready with all your facts. Thanks for not using annoying music.

This was developed during covid, that's why it looks like it's wearing a mask!

bike finally looks good enough to consider buying

Apart from the great bike, I noticed that stunning road. Can anyone tell me the location/name of that road? The one with the drown shots 🙏

Meh 🙄

Yamaha MT-09 and MT-09SP (890cc, 2021+) Maintenance Schedule and Service Intervals dana maintenance schedules profile image By Dana Hooshmand January 19, 2023 Updated on April 8, 2023 This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the 2022+ Yamaha MT-09 and MT-09 SP with the upgraded 890cc engine, released and made available in 2021. The 2021/2022 model’s 890cc inline triple is an upgrade over the 847cc triple in the original Yamaha MT-09 (which was originally released as an FZ-09, but which has always been the same bike) and XSR900, which shares the same base platform in a more “modern classic” design aesthetic. The new 2021/2022 MT-09 and MT-09 SP have a host of improvements over the outgoing models with the 847cc CP3 engine. But the star of the show is the engine, an 890cc liquid-cooled 12-valve inline triple that makes a claimed 87.5 kW (117.4 hp) at 10,000 rpm, with a generally fatter torque curve.

Nonetheless, the fundamental parts and tools required to service the MT-09 haven’t changed since launch, so this maintenance schedule is for the FZ-09 and MT-09 from 2015-2020. In 2021, a new MT-09 and MT-09 SP were released with an updated 890cc CP3 engine.

I was all set on a new Street Triple 765 RS next year - an upgrade and treat to myself after what will be six years and probably 65,000 km on my KTM Duke 390 - but the 2024 MT-09, specifically the SP, has grabbed my attention. I would love to see a group test with those two bikes despite the capacity difference - pricing is very similar in Canada after add-ons - to help with the decision. Also, great video and breakdown of the new MT-09. Thank you for the detailed overview and introduction to what will obviously be a smash hit for Yamaha.

I rode a 2023 recently. It was more to do a friend a favor (he wanted to hear something like "hey what a gem of a bike") , I did not expect too much. But even the "old" modell is so much fun. I knew the gen 1 one and the chassis was not exactly brlliant, to be graciouse But the new 890 cc engine is brilliant. And you can ride it far more hard than the privious modells . I guess i will sell my Street Triple RS for it, cause i'm not a track rider, and at the end of the day it's a cheap ,reliable, fun to ride Package.

Let's be fair Gen 3 you could dial the suspension in to suite the rider.. Gen 1 I agree But still improved dialing it in slightly Gen 4 suits track day's more Gen 3 day out riding.. I've seen minimal if not any bad reviews on Gen 3 the looks that personal.. At the end off the day it's the cp3 we are buying the mt09 for.. Over 50 Gen 3 I think would suit.. Young guy track days go for it.. Any mt best bikes I've ever owned..

Yamaha totally destroyed the looks the mt 09 had..it was perfect and if now i was about to buy a bike i would never buy the mt 09

There was a MT09 with a windscreen and sidebags. Do you happen to know the brand? Thanks!

Just who was the genius that decided the indicator control switch needed to be reinvented!?

Damn. I have a 2023 mt09 in the garage right now. Better call the dealer 😂

Love the bike but Yamaha needs to move away from that wheel color already.

Names on top of a few lists of dealers here on the East Coast for the SP. Cant wait!! Had a 22 and had to sell it when moved to TN .

Idk what is it, it just looks like every other bike out there. I prefer the street triple

I don't like how i fit on the 09, it's too small for me like most bikes

Just when i think Yamaha can't get any uglier..

How about the Triumph Street Triple 765 R 🤔

Yamaha has hit the ball out of the park, with this one !

Any comments on the brakes? How good or bad are they ?

Which is better a new mt-09 or a used sp?

Looks very small for small men

Hey, quick question ----- Why is the 990 so expensive?

Bring on the sp!

is the sp worth it?

Triumph Street Triple RS does have cruise control as an option

The 2021/23 looks different, hooligan decepticon. The 2024 looks more tryng to be cute and a super hero ( iron man). We do not want to be cute and softy, we like to ride as it is. Hooligan.

So what does the sp get over standard ?

Does anyone know if the new switchgear is venturing over to the XSR900?

2 generations later and the 2017-2020 is still the best looking 09

Turn on the subtitles please!!!

very good review. thank you.
