This is definitely the best headlight they’ve had since the first one. The two previous models were hideous.

[@chriswest2290]

This is a fantastic update from yamaha. I was getting the sp version. But ktm done a massive discount on the duke 890r that I couldn't refuse.

[@ryboslybo2627]

Triumph Street triple RS is so beautiful but I may be leaning a bit more towards the base MT09 with all of the features that come standard at a much lower price. The Triumph R and RS do not come with cruise control as an added feature. You can get it added as an upgrade to the RS but not the R. Great review thanks for the video!

Yamaha builds a ton of fun affordable fun

[@cyclenews]

Well said.

[@gordonhenry7760]

You're up there with the best journo's Rennie ...well done!

[@cyclenews]

Cheers Gordon, appreciate it!

Great review! Loving my 24' MT09. Rennie and Ryan great to meet you guys today out in the wild! -Alec (the guy who stopped to chat while on a mountain bike ride). Looking forward to the next review 😉 And speaking of having the back of a 90-year-old, I happen to be a local chiropractor 😂

[@cyclenews]

Yeah Alec! Keep it on two wheels

[@ST-kq9py]

Another great review Rennie, looks like an awesome revision of an already amazing middleweight naked. How do you rate it compared to the Triumph 765RS?

[@cyclenews]

They're quite different. The MT has a fair bit more power, but the Triumph has a sportier chassis, hence why they turn them into supersport racebikes.

[@SilvaPereiraTiago]

How many km did it have when you reviewed it? I have an XSR 900 and the quick shifter gets smoother after 600km or so…it’s night and day. The suspension as well..gets better with a few km on it.

[@tonyw3250]

I remember the first one and yes it was a bit of a light switch - good review mate, looks a bit dryer than our IOM ride

[@cyclenews]

Just a touch

[@outquick]

Where are you riding in your videos. Looks amazing n sick twistiez

[@icarickarusgaming5658]

I just bought one of these, but broke my knee days before i took delivery. So it looks like I'll just drool over her for 2 months.

[@QuickRipzz]

Hi, I'm not sure if you mentioned in the video but how is the seating position? Do you suspect it is comfortable enough for longer rides without causing very much back ache? Thanks!

Hi Rennie. I am thinking between Mt09 Sp and suzuki gsx s1000. What do you think which bike is better handly for twisty?

[@cyclenews]

Hi, the Yamaha is definitely more nimble and comes with better tech so for the price I'd be going for that over the Suzuki.

[@BMW-X3M-power]

@@cyclenews thank you so much.

[@ar2043]

I had one in 2018 and a woman hit me and totaled the bike. I want to get another one but they have to do something about the colors. I love the bike and everything about it, but they have to come out with some different color combinations.

[@ar2043]

Although, I definitely like a one piece seat better than the two-piece seat.

[@supaxr]

ok wheelies for days 😂 just made this best MT09 review on tube 😂

[@obeii1805]

Some ppl think wheelie is the only think thats constitute enjoyment

[@garryschmidt7159]

Does that exhaust look crude to any of you. The Honda's seem to look better.

[@devongreshler9080]

Highway 9? looks like home

[@beanburnham01]

Yep. Saw them all in Santa Cruz last month

[@cyclenews]

Good eye boys

[@joeblow5037]

If there is an uglier exhaust .....it's on Lizzo.

[@alesnetopilik2837]

It is basically just an acoustic chamber with hole. There is no real exhaust.
