If you can would appreciate know how the power and engine charities feel in comparison to a mt10. Never got to ride an mt10 but always wondered how they feel in comparison to my 2021 mt09

[@Davido50]

Love you long time guys!?? Gay .

[@QiyuanZhou21]

Fun fact: IMUs are used to measure acceleration. Six axis IMU means that the IMU is capable of measuring the 3 axes of linear acceleration in X,Y,Z (up/down, left/right, front/back) as well as rotational acceleration around each of the 3 X,Y,Z axis (yaw/pitch/roll).

[@HardlyaDavidson]

That is very fun to me actually

When i was on the road to test this bike. I lost my father. Im pretty sure he would be very sad if he'd knew that i wasnt able to test this one. He always wanted to buy mt 09 sp for himself additionally he was going to soon but its life you cant know whats gonna happen. Rest well my dear father i'll miss you so much.

I am so glad I bought one of these, but you put into words and laughter how I feel riding this every...single...time. Long time stable machine for sure.

[@lynnlittle8671]

I just bought a standard model 2021 MT-09 a few weeks ago. I've been dialing in the suspension and tire air pressures, with very noticeable results. The standard settings and air pressures are NOT optimum. I'm not through dialing it in, but even so, I am so freaking happy with this thing!

[@TerrorBunney]

did a test ride today on the standard version. What a beast that is! holy crap! i freaked out when the front wheel came up at first because it was the first time i had that happen to me on a bike but it was SO EXHILARATING. getting one in 2022.

[@guitarmike4ever]

This bike looks like fun ma man! Your laugh on first twist, Yamaha owes you for marketing Chase 😆 6-axis means x,y,z,pitch,roll,yaw, 3 for linear acceleration, 3 for angular rate.

BC is nothing to do with engine braking. It allows you to choose whether you want normal ABS or lean-sensitive.

This is the best review on this bike THANK YOU!

[@mithrandirthegrey7644]

I never know how to feel about quick shifters. It feels like driving an automatic - don't really like it. But at the same time they are so much fun when you just wanna yeet in a straight line.

[@bosk1n]

Owning MT09-SP for 2 months now. Finding myself doing wheelie every time I get a chance: 1. Powerwheelie on 1st from every stoplight where there is a straight line. 2. Clutch wheelie on a second - straight road without traffic outside the town :)

[@michaelakachunk]

Production quality is second to none man! love the very in depth reviews and talking about all the pros and cons. I stayed away from the older MT09 because of the suspension and brake issues they've had so its nice to see that they've somewhat resolved those.

[@RevolverMaxx]

BC is Brake control. Not engine braking. Mode 1 is standard abs based on wheel speed and vehicle speed for straight up and down emergency braking. BC2 is cornering abs now using inputs from the IMU.

[@808Affliction]

I have a 2016 FZ09 and I still love it till this day.

Can you make a vid comparing the mt-10 and this Mt-09.

OC: Man... I just want one. I can tell by your giggles how much you were enjoying the bike. I'm getting the 09SP anyway (may require a few bank heists) regardless of the mountain loads of power I won't be able to handle. Rain mode is there, no?😅😅😅 Bless you all people who've got 09s. Thanks for the ridiculously thrilling video, Chase. Lots of love 💖

[@wildlifeshorts3475]

I wish they made an R9. Supersport body with clip ons but the same inline 3 cylinder would be so much fun

[@someguyontheinternet7165]

If I didn't already have a 2nd gen mt09 I'd definitely be going out for one of these. Not worth the switch for me but for anyone moving up from smaller bikes or stepping down from the committed stance of super sports it's the choice I'd be making.

[@RevechoRides]

Watched this from beginning to end - awesome video man! Digging the 3rd person shots of the bike, gives a good idea of what the bike looks like in motion. Also dope that you covered some informative bits that most of other bike reviews dont 😎

[@ndperson1]

Just about to ride my 2021 mt09. We usually go straight winter where I live so it is nice to enjoy some fall. Am liking my mt09 with over 4000 miles so far of only fun riding, no commuting

[@nycmt09sp41]

OC: This bike is absolutely perfect. I waited 4 months for my SP. Your emotions throughout the entire ride is exactly how I feel every time I get on my bike. Once you’re in power mode 1 you never go back. I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of this bike

[@nycmt09sp41]

I’ll be posting many rides & reviews on my page as well if you’re interested in this bike

[@yveslemmens5384]

The other day I was riding in the dark and you can't see the buttons. So ended up pressing like all the wrong buttons on the left side. Then, I thought I had a major issue with my bike, as it lost huge amount of power. Wouldn't accelerate anymore. Turned out I put in mode 4 by accident... I fully agree with your review. I have the standard with upgraded suspension and new rear shock since 4 months to drive in the twisties / hooligan. 7000 miles now. Enjoy your bike!

[@yveslemmens5384]

It also keeps me surprising every time of how hard the bike pulls in 2nd gear. What a machine. Went to 15T too

[@nitishgupta7145]

Drove 150-200 cc bikes for years until 10 years back. Want to get back to driving, and wondering if the mt09 can be a good one to return to.

[@phillipbruce2104]

Great ride review, if you haven't done so already I'd like to see how it performs after you dial in the suspension. A video of the process would be awesome too.

[@JamieS1992]

23:00 a mate had an MT-09 he called it his fun bike he enjoyed taking it out alot he also had a 2005 R1 said the MT-09 is was 61 at the time was the best bike to wheelie that he had ever ridden he ended up trading it in for an MT-10 says its a different beast but wheelies easier which does not mean better, he didnt have all those modes though

[@brianschutt5359]

OC: I have the 2021 standard model MT-09 and I’d like the SP for sure based on looks and cruise control. I think Yamaha did make the perfect bike. My only complaint is the menu wheel as well. A little difficult to use. Still a very minor complaint.

[@1955Paawpabear]

What is the difference between the standard model vs the SP?

[@deweysturgill6220]

@@1955Paawpabear suspension - better adjustability to front forks, ohlins rear shock, stock one is pretty bad if you ride the twisties hard. Also has cruise control, a polished rear swingarm, custom paint.. I have the base model, and am already changing the forks and searching for a rear shock. If you've never rode a really good suspended bike you won't even think about it.

[@johnhernandez6434]

OC. So glad your reviewing this bike. Had my eyes on it for a min. Had a deposit but took it back since I’m in the northeast getting cold and the bike never came in. Hopefully in 2022.

[@jennynester9980]

OC: Can you compare it to the MT07? Like would holding out for the hopes of an MT07 SP be worth it or is this bike just hands down more fun all around?

[@500Sander]

He should 100% compare them, I have a mt07 (2018) and if you like wheelies but you are not all that experienced or if you live in europe i would take the mt07. If you just love speed the mt09 would be better. You can rip a mt07 but its not a topspeed kind of bike.

[@samuelhenrik8350]

I've been on an mt-03 for about a year now and looking to upgrade, this bike is definitely near the top of my list of potential new bikes

[@treedogg]

MT10 redesign this year. There are pics and specifications surfacing

[@AGPullen]

OC: This could possibly be the perfect bike, at least until the new MT-10 comes out. My '14 FZ-09 has Ohlins front and rear which really improves the ride, as well as a tune, full Yoshimura exhaust, intake mod, and lots of Woodcraft goddies. I wish mine had cruise control and the other rider aids but it performs pretty well for what it is. I'll have to keep an eye out for a demo day and give the new SP a try. I may be tempted to trade mine in for one! Also, mode 4 (from how you explained it) seems like a newbie could get this bike and work their way up the power band. Like they could just grow with this bike, especially with all the electronic rider aids. Great video Chase!

[@95turboteggy65]

Nice review. I pre ordered a 14' fz09 when they first came out awesome bike until my second set of tires I could ever fix wheel wobble @105 mph. multiple trips to the dealership trying to fix the suspension issue. Happy to hear they addressed it now.

[@Abundance4LL]

I wish I started on mode 2 or 1 my first ride that would’ve been so shockingly fun. Only problem is the electronics have recall n dies out sometimes

[@Love4boost]

There’s still some snap to the throttle in d2, it’s completely gone at d3. I always keep tc in manual so I can have tcs and lif at 1 and slc at 2 because I’m only comfortable with my Harley cutting loose when I’m leaned over. I’m definitely going to take mine out now because I’m jealous of watching Chase get all the wheelie fun

[@ItzLobbyBobby]

OC: As someone who’s had an MT07 for a while and it being the only motorcycle I’ve ever had, is it worth upgrading to the new MT09? Or should I wait and see what the new MT10 is cooking up first? Curious what y’all think.

[@ganuvien]

I'm in the same boat, only had my XSR700 as first bike for a few years and ready to upgrade to more power/comforts. I'm kinda holding out for 2022 MT10 to see how it's upgraded but I do more 70+ mph riding than city stuff and they're also both major price differences and insurance costs, etc.

[@brianschutt5359]

I had to go with the MT09 over the 10 simply for the drastic difference in fuel mileage…. 49mpg vs 30mpg. That’s a big deal for me commuting. If the 10 got over 40mpg… I’d be all about it!

[@sandtiger47620]

OC here, I wanna see all Chase's thoughts on it after a month or two, see how the aftermarket adopts the bike, Corbin Seats, a windscreen, etc but not gonna lie the MT-09 SP might be my next bike. Just gotta see how fuel economy is and how it handles on city and longer commutes. One question, is the cruise control "adaptive" or "stationary" not sure if thats the correct terminology so let me explain, say you are going up or down a hill does the cruise control try to keep the speed the same or does it just keep the throttle position the same and you slow down going uphill or speed up going downhill.

[@baymoto553]

I have the standard 2021 MT09 and it's pretty darn good for me. I'm getting between 49 and 51 mpg but I'm not a hooligan. I got the Yamaha comfort seat and it's much better than the OE on the standard bike. I also installed the Mustard Bikes wind deflector and I think it really finishes off the front end look. I do have issues sometimes with the quick shifter between 1st and 2nd so I normally just use the clutch for that shift now. Overall, I'm loving this bike.

[@ps360bros]

I have about 3k in my non sp. aftermarkets starting to come alive for it. My commute 1 hour each way, 20 on back roads, 25 on high way and 15. I get about 44mpg and i ride "spirited" lol. seat is pretty good, but after about an hour it can get rough and it pushes you into the tank which is annoying. The bike is an absolute dream machine though. If i knew i was going to love it the way i do i would have gotten the sp. not for the suspension(that 95% of people dont know how to adjust, me including), but for the cruise and heated grips. I currently have a 1000cc sport, ktm 530 supermoto, and a 18 indian scout. This is my favorite, GO BUY ONE

Does anyone know if chase has a video of the cb650r? I couldn't find one. I always wanted an MT09, but I do some highway ridding on my MT07 every now and then and it doesn't feel very stable at all, specially since I live in a windy area. The MT09 is not much heavier, so im afraid it would be the same issue. The CB650R is a bit heavier, I hear it is a bit more stable, but I would love to see a good review of it.
