Call me weird but I love the older models on nearly every brand. I’m not a fan of the new designs at all. Love yours 👍🏻

Picture yourself back when you were 7 years old waiting for the pokemon episode on cartoon Network that only aired on sunday.... That's exactly how I feel when a new chaos causes video comes out😬🤷‍♂️

6:20 Chaos : Plus alot of guyz love older women Me : Owwwwww

I love this channel. It made my love for riding grow

Been following you since 30k and holy crap you spoiled me on motovlogging quality. Cant see no other channel rather than yours and fortnine. Great job man

I Actually like the 2021 MT09. Yes we are not really used to the new headlight yet but this bold move does make this new bike stand out between all the other generic single headlight bikes. And like you said in your video, you don't even see it when sitting on the bike. Love you videos 💪🏼

I wish all motovloggers shot on 4K. So damn good.

I had no idea you where that young.

I love scooters and cruisers. But I watch your channel because of the quality. Watching how you edit has helped me improve my videos. I'm nowhere as good as you and probably never will be, but like your bike, I'm old. Old dog trying to learn new tricks. Thanks for your time, effort, imagination, and editing skeelz. I have to learn from the likes of you because I don't have the bright eyes, smiles, and giggles of the riders like Itchy Boots to make you guys watch ;)

Ooohhhhhh! Happy 100k subs! Keep it up!😊❤️

The old Yamaha R6 still looks like it's just been launched at some motorcycle expo

Well Chaos Causes you were my inspiration to get the yamaha R6, would have loved to meet up with you back in SA with your one , I know you secretly miss her ...all the best brother keep safe !!

Brother. Your Videos Are Huge Relief From This Stressful World. Thanks Brother. 🙏

Absolutely agree with you. I have a 2015 MT07 for the same reasons. Love your real world vids and dry wit, nice work 😁😎

The gold front forks look so good in combination with the white of the wrap. I got myself the "old" one too because I found a nice example of a unique bike. Buying an older, but modded out bike is the best option with money's tight. I still have yet to cross over the price of a newer model considering the mods I have on the MT right now (Öhlins rear shock from an MT-09SP) Still hate the brakes tho so those will have to be upgraded.

All of those upgrades were a home-run for you for sure. You reading that Ohlins brochure cracks me up!

Completely agree with your choice! I bought the "old" Tracer 700 with a 1500 euro reduction in the price!! Used the money saved to upgrade the front suspension, get a nice exhaust plus a few more bits and used the rest to take a road trip down to Antibes!! Nice.

Always looking forward to your videos man! 😁

I own an XSR 900 ,which is basically an MT09 but neo retro style and i love it

Man, you edit's are superb! Also music selection is perfect.

Man i do love the new models specially those fancy headlights but this mt09 does look really dope and as u said, its the riding experience that matters. And there is nothing as fun as a naked. I have been riding a sport bike for last 6 years and lately i am so fed up of the riding posture that i cant wait to get rid of the clipons and install a high handlebar and have a new experience. And since you got the mt09 after the r1 and r6 😂😂

Great video, I got my 2016 MT09 yesterday and I already love it! Whats the brand of your "windscreen"?

I am considering an MT-09 Mk1. I think that the most important part of the looks is what you can see when riding. These are cheap secondhand - I live in northern Thailand - and if I can find a really good example, I'll certainly consider it. I'll keep my 390 Duke Mk2 as a second bike. Good video.

Another great video keep them rolling mate 🇬🇧

I am eagerly awaiting my new Tracer 9 GT, it comes in March (I hope). I bought a 660 Ténéré in 2015 for commuting, I had a loaner once which was a MT07. Too small for me (I'm tall) but the engine was great. Now I stopped commuting, so I wanted a MT09. After looking at what was available I wanted the Tracer GT, saw that Yamaha was putting new models out so when the Tracer 9 GT was on show at the Bikestore I went there, thought a couple of days and then traded in the Ténéré. I have had a number of bikes, but the electronics on this one are new to me; another adventure :-).

I originally purchased mine a few years ago purely out of how much power you get for such a cheap price. I hated the headlight at fist, but over time it's actually grown on me quite a bit.

I could not ride or even drive on those crazy looking UK streets. I ride a 2010 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic Fire Fighter Special Edition. I chose this bike because I retired from the Fire Rescue Service after 30 years as a Captain. Prior to that I was trained to fight fires in the United States Navy (mostly aircraft fires) and also spent a few years fighting forest wildfires in New Jersey. I just loved the business. I named my bike "Big Red" after a fire truck that I spent many years on. I love everything about "Big Red". I currently have over 71,000 miles on it even though I haven't ridden it much in the past year and a half due to health issues and minor injuries. I'm preparing myself and "Big Red" for my next journey which will take me through many different states in the United States. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Congratulations on 100k chaos causes. 🎊🎉

Nice video and review, what a great sounding engine that triple! We're thinking of maybe moving to the u.k from aus one day, how much did the insurance end up being over there?

I agree 1000% just upgraded from a 2015 FZ07 to a 2015 FZ09 with protaper bars Ohlin's upgraded in the front and rear full yoshi exhaust and a power commander! IMO I could not have asked for a better bike :)

The indicators near the front light housing unit make the most sense in low side you don't risk having your indicators sheared off and you can also get flush indicators to make it cleaner while the side-mounted indicators they use currently are out of place and stick out like a sore thumb.

Chaos Causes, you chose your bike wisely despite your age! Your points make sense! I have an MT09 2020 and I wish it had Ohlins suspension.

Mt09 with upgraded suspension and forks is a keeper motorcycle, fantastic engine, good suspension, its just a splendid bike, not a step, it doesnt matter if its ''old'' if its the one YOU choose , every bike has its own character, and just bcuzz theres newer , it doesnt mean its what a specific person might prefer.

Thanks for the video, it has convinced me to get a good deal on an old MT09 rather than get shiny new headlights. An led bulb is another cheap mod and I'll never miss the light output.

Keep up the good work man 👍

I love your Vids. So clever and authentic 👏🏼🏍

R 1150 RT and a Vulcan 1500 Clasic Tourer....outstanding machines.....as any other motorcycle actually; it's not about the bike but it's about the pasion!....Keep the good work further!

I 1000% like this look better than both 2017 and 2021. I also own a 2015 with front and rear ohlins, full akra exhaust, quickshifter, brembo master, sbb lines, etc and wouldn't give it up for anything. I think what really changes the front headlight is the HID light that's installed and blinds all oncoming traffic, it looks different than stock not only when it's on

I've grown out of these bikes. Considering the amount of secondary roads, sometimes gravel, sometimes even worse, i came to prefer bikes with long travel suspensions. Last one is the Africa Twin, the 2017 one. You can't strap hard bags to a sports naked bike and enjoy a 500kms weekend ride with a passenger, without it being a terrible experience. You can do that with an adventure bike. Sure, it's less fun to ride, but with the speed limits, the state of the roads and traffic, it isn't advisable ride too fast anyway. Also, exploring around now is so much easier since i can basically go anywhere.

I like how you keep your bike look cleaner... Even on that whether conditions... Love from sri lanka....

ha ha great video man!! witty and on point! 👍🏽

Have a 2016 flashed with the Graves system, great bike

Made me think a little bit more about wanting to upgrade to an mt09 next year. Had my eyes on the 2017+ mainly because of the looks, that headlight looks so damn good, but as you said - you don't really see the headlight when riding. So when weighing design vs rideability, if there's and 'old' mt09 with suspension upgrades being cheaper than a 2017+ with stock suspension the choice should be pretty easy.

Bought my used FZ-09 in 2018 and it was a year old.Luv it and it runs great.

I love my 2015 FZ09. She's got 20k on her, and still just as fun today, as it was the first day I rode it!

Right at the 3.19 mark, you had already read my mind! Yes, when on a bike you can’t see what it looks like from the front! In my humble opinion, I don’t ride bikes so “I look good on them” rather and more importantly what I get from a riders perspective! 👍😎🇦🇺 (yes I’ve included a flag) as it just a symbol that means a nation better at motorbikes.... or should I say all sports you South African’s play.... love the review, two thumbs up from me! 👍👍😎

MT09 Gen 1 Owner! Imo i think gen 1 is the best, no abs, no tc and no quick shifter. personally i think the QS is stressful for our chain and sprockets, way more chain adjustment when running a qs. plus gen 1 is the first of a cracking wee bike, i actually love the headlight on the gen 1 , its bright, pretty big but does its job perfectly, i do recommend the SHAD COMFORT SEAT.. A Must for 500+ miles... nice bike btw.. Stay safe

Rebel 500, but I don't own it yet :D I'll be a first-time rider next spring, and I wanted a bike that won't give me hassle in maintenance, that has a comfortable position, enough power to not feel like a moped, but not too much power to scare me. A simple bike with the necessities, but no additional bling.

I still love my old Z900 looks everytime I see her.. also she sounds good with that akra 😌

Loved it man Keep it up🖤🖤🏍️🏍️

this is what I think about the new mt 07-09 headlight, it sucks I hate it why is it even a thing people thinking that its more aerodynamic and stuff but that's total crap. and also at least with the mt 07 not sure about the mt 09 but they made the throttle not that nice twitchy like the old ones so u can't just spin the throttle and do a wheelie. btw man love the vids keep them up

my persobal fav of mt09 is the second gen, but compared to the latest, I love your first gen better. and...love the way you're going mate, benn subs'd since 1k subscribers and you deserve this

I chose my bike because I ride it once and was totally in love it was my favourite experience thus far on a motorcycle, fast, loud and looked great - no it isn't the Mt in my profile. I now ride an 2019 850gs on an A2

Bought a Street Triple after riding a friends, then bought matching Crystal White Speed Triple bc I fell in love with Triumphs. Nothing like them imo.

Bro I really like your mt-09. One of the best machine.

I chose my bike because it's absolutely old school and still has all the muscle for a beginner bike in my country. As a beginner rider it was the best one that I could get. Build like a tank 😎😍

The best perk on the new (not the latest) one isn't the headlight. It's the quickshifter! And you also have the SP version with ohlins. Have that one

Great video, I like how u handle it on wet roads.

The headlamp isn't "ugly" , but looks like an mt07.. The update they gave it I 2019 looked really nice.

Having no riding experience I was quoted double what I pay for my lil Yamaha MT-125, for a Yamaha YZF-R125!!! 😮 OK I'm only paying £150 for my MT, So being 42 years old & 25 years driving experience has some benefits! 🤣👍 Love your BIG MT & all your content dude! 👍😎

I chose mine (Duke 390) because it scared the hell out of me during the test ride. Challenge Accepted is all I could think of after the test ride and booked it the same day. Today it has taught me so much about control, power delivery, cornering and still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it 😅

Just ordered a new 2021 mt09 yesterday can’t wait

I am absolutely 100% in love with my 2016 fz09 the torque the sound the comfort the looks the experience I've gained and improved since it was my 1st street bike I'll never sell it she's helped me make many friends have lots of fun adventures and meet my gf that I intend to marry my fz09 is really the only bike ill ever truly need

I ride the original MT, the MT-01 and i choose it, because I was looking for an unusual bike and fall directly in love the first time i test rode it. The interrresting thing is, the most people i talk to, think my MT-01 is new, even with that old massive headlight.

I love your videos, just love them!

Maaaan for the UK's wet roads you should equip a michelin road 5 tire, more traction on the wet (best tire for the wet I ever tried imho)

Love your videos. Great quality. You should have more followers.

You need a dual sport! Gs!!

New sub. Amazing content. Keep it coming!!

I am classic and I think OLD is GOLD..Your bike is as awesome as your content. Keep that coming...

I got an MT-15, its an awesome daily and very comfortable compared to when I was dailying a CRF

That headlight looks better than the later efforts and it doesn't look like a birds beak like some do. Apparently in an effort to be different which is not always a good idea.

Nice video! Imo the older RN29 looks much better than the newer ones. I recently got my fathers 2015 MT 09 Street Rally because he won't ride motorcycle anymore. I love this bike and will keep it in honor. It's the perfect counterpart to my Aprilia RS 250. I couldn't be happier.... Bye

Hey CC, what's your take on cruisers and ADV motorcycles?

4:55 careful on that, you need to swap your license in after 6 months, also just do it, it's free and you get it back in 2 weeks, even if you get stopped in that time, they can see that it's in the process

you call that a bumpy road??? maybe you should come over and take a look at germany.. :D i choosed my last bike because it was good. in every manner. it was big enoungh to fit my height, fast enough to get around in this country in one day, easy enough to ride safe, and had some decent features added (mostly after buying it) :) it was amazing, even when last built in 2003 or 04, it was still up to date and longlastig for me and my purpose for it; an everyday and everywhere bike to make over 34.000km in a year on it, and still being cheaper than any car. and i just loved my TDM 900. and i will get a new one, one day :)

I choose mine as it looks nice plus it already comes up with better upgrades rather than what it came with.

The MT-09 Street Rally 2014 was amd IS the most beautiful one!

I have a mt-07 of 17' and i like it more than 21' model... Because of the front light, the vents at front are cooler... The new one look like smaller category bike

Happy owner of a 2015 MT09. Favourite colour combinations. Blue forks 👌🏻

Would love to have an mt09 as my seconds bike , I ride a Yamaha xv950 and love it 👍👍

Hi...can I know what brand bar end mirrors you use it on bike?? Thank you

Dude I ride a Yamaha MT 15.......... This MT 09 is like my dream bike.. 😍

I choose my BMW R1250GS because it is just awesome Chaos, if one day you own or ride a new GS you will know what I am talking about It is the king of the road, and offroad capable

B-mode is for Britain. Im not ironic :) I from Sweden. Same here. Most things works except the weather, some malfunction. SA seems like such a nice place with beutiful nature, could be paradise. Sry to hear things are not working there.

Try tinting the headlight lightly and lowering it. It looks so much better i wish i can put on a photo here.

How did you get the display to read out in negative? I have the Sport Tracker model.

I would just throw in some good LED headlights in there and call it a day. I live India and I choose the Yamaha fzs v3 because it's a beginner friendly bike with power spread throughout the rev range. Its only 150cc but its enough for everyday use and it looks muscular the seat could have been better and maybe a little more power 😬.

I'm riding a 2015 Yamaha MT-07. Got it as a first bike to learn on and I absolutely love it. The only other bike that I have eyes for is the KTM Super Duke 1290. Rode it once and fell in love but due to license restrictions I can't have the KTM which is fine cause I love my MT-07.

Please sir, tell me how you keep the inside of your Insta 360 one r lense protectiors clean? I can't seen to get it right. I've tried cotton swabs, alcohol, glass cleaner cloth and paper towels.

I went for a Fazer 2009 S2, She old but still packs a punch.

the most important pro for the older version is the exhaust without a mm^2 of catalysator right ?

good job, which year is that bike and how much did you get it for.

ive been following you since you were hiding your follower count haha, you should do a meet up. id love to go on a ride with you and some others on my 06 gsxr 600. keep up the good work👌

Well to be honest my reasons are : 1. Insurance ( as low as possible ) 2.Looks ( Subjective and personal , i love my Motorcycle the way she looks ) 3.Honda ( Reliable brand that I can trust and find components to replace if something breaks )

My parents where buying me a Aprilia sr 150 scooter..so there was this Suzuki gixxer 150cc naked Bike Available which was in the same price range I bought that.. good mileage..good handling..fun to ride..but very Less Accesories hope there were so many Accesories like yours

I got my honda varadero 125 really cheap, the engine is bulletproof, it's got the sound and the booty that a Duke doesn't have and it's capable on the road and off the pavement

What are your thoughts on Yamaha binning off the R6? They're going to sell only track versions from here on out...

kindly share what end bar sides mirror brand is that?
