Good on Yamaha for not doing that pay to play sales tactic that the Europeans are doing with their bikes. Pay extra just to activate QS, cruise control, ride modes, etc.

[@TSTindustries]

EXACTLY!

[@512460]

Bmw isn't included in this

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

KTM money spinner!

[@KjKase]

This bike sounds amazing when you're the rider. The sounds it makes are like a symphony of futuristic vehicle sound effects from a movie. The oscillating whirr when you're just cruising along at 30mph in 3rd, the hiss and whine when you're engine breaking at higher gears/speed coming from the vents, and the mechanical pop when you slam it in to 2nd and 3rd at 8k+ RPM with the quick shifter. It's glorious.

[@SirMountainpass]

I agree - just went on a test ride yesterday. Also, I much liked the seating position which is less aggressive than anticipated (among other details) 🔥💯🏁

[@DickWaggles]

And then you drop a toce or akra on it and realize "oh yeah that sounded like shit, now we're on another level"

[@TheFirstCause]

Best looking MT09 yet! The lines and angles on the "head" flow into the tank so well. The 3rd gen had an biological alien merged with transformer vibe which was cool but the head was too high on the forks. The design style worked better on the MT07. But this one has a mecha katana look and it is amazing!

[@MrBobbi93]

Glad y’all made a video on this bike because I’ve been watching everyone I could find. I’m looking to get the SP of this bike so I’m looking forward to see everything you’ll sale for it. Keep it up!

[@KristianKfitness]

Same brother

[@korey1033]

need that tail tidy! looking forward to everything you develop for it

[@joshuabeck1186]

Where did he get it !! I need mine gone

[@yovalgo1]

Same it's the first thing I noticed... Also I wonder how low is the Akra exhaust (the dealer option one) without the DB killer.. No vids on that.

[@MT_HAND3D]

Thanks for review man. I enjoyed your review it was more in depth and showed more than any other video on this BEAUTIFUL MT-09. My deposit is already in and im SUPER stoked and waiting for that phone call saying it has arrived at my Houston Yamaha dealer. Thanks again and great review, look forward to seeing the TST accessories video soon. RIDE SAFE AND STAY HAPPY. DUCES.

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks for the love and the feedback. We can't wait for you to get your bike and hear your thoughts!

[@ottrod455]

Awesome review - thank you so much for sharing!

[@Antonio_zx6r]

Awesome. Can’t wait for you guys to release all your mods for this.

[@TSTindustries]

Slowly but surely more and more products are being released.

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

Tail tidy is a must on the MT range

[@otlndsh]

Thanks for the great review and showing us this they I personally wasn't aware of 👌

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks for the view and the feedback!

[@302elite]

Picked up my 24 mt09 almost a month ago and I absolutely love it. The thing is a torque monster. 2nd gear is weird in the way that it feels slow until 50 or so mph and then takes off with all the torque, pop it in to 3rd gear at Any rpm and it just rips

[@KjKase]

I just finished the break in on mine and man it rips once you actually open it up. I really wish second didn't feel that way, though. Otherwise, it's an amazing bike. The sound of quick shifting at 8k+ RPM from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd is orgasmic, I can't wait till I get an exhaust on it. It's my favourite bike I've ever ridden by far.

[@Furrby18]

The second gear lag will be fixed with a tune. My 21 SP had the same issue and after a tune 2nd hits just as hard as the other gears.

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

Probably Euro tune on it chocking the bike.

[@Josh-ew1le]

Second gear has that flat spot because for the euro5 sound test they test them in second gear

[@Josh-ew1le]

But yeah the flat spot is a boner killer. Sure hope a flash will fix it?

[@ronames91]

Great review!

[@Scrufflebag]

I love this video. You've done a very good job on making a detailed in depth review. And you're very calm and blessed with a voice that really keeps listeners engaged. I'll be getting my bike tomorrow and I've really enjoyed your video to hype me up even more 🙂.

[@do.on2wheels38]

Had a 2016 fz09 and loved it to death, got a 2023 SP after a couple of years on that bike. Actually sold it and planning on getting this newer gen. Currently just have my little spunky fz07 track bike that’s been entertaining me in the meantime haha

[@deano_s2k]

mines already on order!

[@expatbiker6598]

I hate having anything on the handlebars and was waiting for a manufacturer to integrate navigation on their reasonably priced bike. Well done Yamaha

[@VisceralVisualsAuto]

Ive been waiting super impatiently for that tail tidy kit to come available and I can see one right there 👀 i was told by customer service its late May or very early June availability - is this still the case? Been holding out for your kit!

[@matts.1758]

Great review and I really like the bike, my only hang up is I feel like those headlights are lacking in the visibility for other vehicles standpoint. Maybe it’s just how it comes across on video though

[@TSTindustries]

Once I get more night riding in, I may be able to provide a subjective view on that.

[@Gumbandz]

Mine was in the garage and I saw that special screen. I picked mine up Monday rode it everyday and only had that come on 1 time

[@ac2-rm141]

If I was waiting for a new MT09SP, I'd also take a look at a Street Triple 765 RS. Very similar, and you can actually find a new one at a dealer for sale.

[@robertcallahan760]

Such a nice bike!

[@TSTindustries]

Agreed! Thanks for the view!

[@gizmangr]

hi mate i received mine a month ago and i love alot

[@bradymcrae7351]

Just bought one. We need parts (specifically the tail tidy ASAP. I’ve been checking everyday waiting for it)

[@TSTindustries]

We’re aiming to release that kit later this Summer!

[@damacknificent151]

I noticed this 2024 idle goes up when in first gear and about to release clutch. Has anyone else felt that? Almost like what suzuki does with their's to make it easy to get going on first gear

[@luisrios4017]

One thing they should consider is improving the turn radius like the ktm duke lineup

[@nickxatzh]

Vvvveerrryyyyy nice review!!!!icbe ordered my mt09 2024 sp!!it will come at August maybe..!!whats your height and weight?

[@TSTindustries]

I’m about 5’7” and 185lbs. Make sure you report back once you get your SP and let us know your thoughts!

[@OneSmallFavour]

love the videos. im wondering what happened to the 2020 MT-03 Trackbike/Scrambler build. Is this bike still in your guys possession?

[@TSTindustries]

It is but it’s currently for sale. It was a fun build but business got really busy for us and we couldn’t allocate the time or resources at that time to finish it.

[@OneSmallFavour]

@@TSTindustries where is the listing posted? Kinda exactly what I was asking lol. Curious what the final state of it ended up being after you chopped the rear off lol.

[@TSTindustries]

@@OneSmallFavour It's not officially posted anywhere just yet. I'm trying to get it buttoned on as a whole bike but with shooting videos and everything else, there aren't enough hours in the day haha. Hopefully we can have it wrapped up shortly and put an official listing up. I did post it a Yamaha R3 group on Facebook a month ago.

[@OneSmallFavour]

@@TSTindustries I hope a KZbinr picks it up ask finishes the scrambler build lol. It seemed like it was perfect before the tank swap and tail mods. You guys rock.

[@guzziman]

Great review, can i ask how tall / big is the rider ? Looks like the bike fits you perfectly

[@TSTindustries]

Thanks for the view and the feedback! I’m roughly 5’7” and I don’t feel uncomfortable at all.

[@ThatCleanMT]

Yall dropping a low mount fender eliminator? Not into the high mount. I like the clean looking lines when the plate is tucked back and against.

[@TSTindustries]

We definitely will be offering a low mount and a high mount. More on that coming in the next month or so.

[@Josh-ew1le]

I got a black '24. Waiting on all the goodies, please hurry up and take my money. . .

[@iAnormal13]

I wonder if that 3rd gen QC/AB can be added onto the 2nd gen QC/AB from a 2023 MT-09 SP for example. And I would like to see the headlight difference if they are any brighter or better than previous gen MT’s.

[@TSTindustries]

Being that the QC is an OEM Yamaha part, I'm assuming there's a very good chance it will work with no issues but without actually testing it, it's nearly impossible to verify. As for the headlight, I'm guessing this one is slightly brighter but maybe we can get a 3rd gen in-house to do some testing. 🤔

[@nobud20]

When will you guys come out with a tail tidy for the mt-09?

[@TSTindustries]

Hoping to release this Summer .

[@Chofiko]

Does this base mt09 have cruise control? or is that only on the mt09 SP

[@JagMoto636]

The base has it now

[@Mikaeel84]

Should I buy this or a gsx8s for my second bike coming from a z400. Ps. I like to go fast and live in flat Florida with not many curvy roads.

[@TSTindustries]

I think both are great options. The 8S is a solid platform and not too much more powerful than the Z400 but enough of an upgrade to have fun. It would really just depend on budget.

[@SonriseSunset]

No one talks about the tank re-design allowing for a much better turning radius?? Beat's the new 990 duke on price and std tech includem no contest. I'm guessing performance isn't too far behind the new Duke as well. In fact, probably have the 990 rider looking at you in his mirrors and asking himself, "who dat", lol.

[@bradymcrae7351]

And do you know what parts from then23 are universal and will fit the 24?

[@TSTindustries]

Most of them are already listed on our website!

[@RhinoTag]

Are you guys working on a rear light assembly for this bike?

[@TSTindustries]

Absolutely but that won’t be available until next year.

[@michael-masi-2021]

Will it also fit Tracer 9 GT+? ​@@TSTindustries

[@SasaNGize]

I own an MT - 07 Pure Black from 2022 and love it - I am sad to see this new generation for MT09 2024 have only one color option and that wierd front lights dont like it at all,and other thing that YAMAHA did not been honest is about the crazy chain vibrations that affect the driving-even its lubircated and fine tuned chain still get way to much noise and vibrations

[@Konrad_Adenauer]

I've been waiting impatiently for my MT-09 SP since November!

[@TSTindustries]

Hopefully, they get it to you sooner rather than later. I heard some dealerships got pushed back to August!

[@Konrad_Adenauer]

@@TSTindustries Oh, as long as there are no accessories from TST, it's only half as bad 😁

[@BlakeLarsen3]

Street Triple 765 any day of the week

[@forgot2wipe]

Orlando Yamaha kawasaki sold me a 2023 mt07 brand new with bad rear wheel bearings and said nothing was wrong with. Said all that noise was normal. Then when they adjusted my chain they over cranked the hell out of it. 😂👍

[@TSTindustries]

Oh man, sorry to hear that. We fully understand everyone’s experiences vary.

[@hangpilot1200]

I just don't understand the wheel colors Yamaha has been putting on their bikes. Are they using a kindergarten class as a focus group!? I had a FJ09 and FZ-1. Great bikes. I'd have to powder coat these wheels as soon as I pick one up... Headlight... code name: Iron Man

[@blob2092]

nice 3rd person footage. I am so tired of motorcycle reviewers just using shitty pov go pro footage riding on the road while reading a spec sheet, I actually wanna see the bike

[@Harlin67]

Hardly elusive, 7 days order time in the UK :) If you want fairings, get a Tracer.

[@abdessamadbouhlal8924]

they say the chassis breaks true ?

[@TSTindustries]

Ours hasn't so we cannot speak on that at this time.

[@ThatCleanMT]

Ya’ll hear anything about the SP and where TF it is?

[@TSTindustries]

😂😂 unfortunately nothing official from Yamaha directly but we have heard from dealerships that they got pushed back until July/August.

[@ThatCleanMT]

That’s super lame. New year bike drops more than half into the year. Yikes. The MT gen 4 FB group shared a video of a Thai dealer than seems to be the first to have got one out on the showroom floor for sale.

[@lateralus9244]

Thanks Yamaha, you put the best colors on the non SP model, instead if having a choice of colors for the SP.🤔😕

[@Dominik-fh9vu]

10600$??? in austria we have to pay 12200 €for normal version :(

[@TSTindustries]

Well that's just MSRP. Once you add in taxes, registration fees, dealership fees, and more, it is well over $10,600.

[@mindcave]

Incredible bikes but that ugly exhaust system has got to go.

[@lepricated]

I dont like the way the tank sits in the crotch. The MT-07 tank is much better.

[@ASMODAY1K]

Anyone ride theirs at night yet? I bought it for my work commute. The headlight is my biggest complaint about this bike. They shouldn't put a straight line cut off like new car lights. When in a turn you lose 80% of sight through the turn Instantly as there is no upward projection. One of the biggest of many reasons I'm selling mine at the end of the season. Great bike for city riding, I guess, but other than that.. meh.

[@kyriakosgalanos8020]

I think you can easily adjust it to project higher

[@ASMODAY1K]

@@kyriakosgalanos8020 then you won't have light below. It's literally a rectangle. I know how to adjust headlights.

[@richardpilier9751]

This bike will snitch on you with all that

[@TSTindustries]

😂😂

[@peterkiro2132]

Mid age styling😅

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

I get it you need to create content... but the headlight is worse than gen 3, so is the tank and seat, the display is just weird with the giant black boarders, but most importantly the rider position... if I wanted my back and wrists to hurt I would have kept my Aprilia RSVR.

[@TSTindustries]

All that stuff is subjective and for me, in my opinion, I really do think all of those things are an upgrade. The riding position seems more natural and I think it’s a perfect middle ground as it’s not nearly as aggressive as a true sportsbike. I also like the dual seat as opposed to one giant one. Having the seat lock on the passenger seat is also a plus for me while also not requiring tools to remove the main rider seat.

[@yodo6414]

The diamond is the XSR900

[@SWTVENOM]

Why?

[@trilam3364]

I have a question bro. how did you shorten that rear turn signal and license plate light up to near the tail light ? that is neat. is the license plate light still there also ? thanks in advance for your feefback.

[@TSTindustries]

That's a prototype kit that we plan on releasing in the near future. For the license plate light, we mounted our universal light.
