24 Hours On The 2024 Yamaha MT-09

[@Justdigit2]

Owning the gen.4 Three months... But it's a versatile bike. You don't need to go fast each time. It can be a lazy shifting cruise bike in town.... But when you are out of it.... Make a wheelie.... 😂 I am in love with this Machine. From 5000rpm you will get the Pop when upshifting.

[@RickChardet]

Glad you enjoy it, it's a fantastic bike!

[@MrBrutekracht]

Even though I am not the biggest fan of modern motorcycles, I've got to agree with you that it does not look bad. My first (and only) impression on the driving dynamics does kind of match yours. I recently got to switch bikes and take a ride on a friend's '23 SP. He put it in "everything off" mode for me to get the full experience. We were driving some very narrow roads near Alkmaar and the first time I gave it a sizeable amount of throttle the front wheel came up incredibly easily, quickly and far. It honestly scared me quite a bit because neither of my bikes do that, I am not used to big wheelies, and it is my friend's new and quite expensive bike. I was really glad to switch back again after a few minutes. Could I get used to that amount of power and torque? Yes. Could I get used to the less dynamic/focused chassis and ergonomics compared to my bike? Most likely. But do I want to? Honestly not. I am already finding my ST675R less enjoyable on the street after having driven it quite spiritedly on track and honestly that 675 engine already has so much power I hardly go full throttle or surpass 3rd gear on the street. More power can definitely be fun if you drive a lot of wide and straight roads, but it's not for me. More power also does not make a bike better. I am setting significantly quicker laps with less effort on my ST675R than my friend on his MT09SP. I felt like I was barely scratching the surface of my Triumph's capabilities whilst my friend is struggling with wheelies, seating position and scraping the foot pegs. There is of course a rider difference, but I honestly had expected my friend to be quicker since he has more riding and track experience. Is the MT09 a great bike? Definitely! No question about that. But on a sensible level, something like an MT07 would most likely be better suited for our street riding in the Netherlands or in Europe. Would I then pick an MT07 over an MT09 on a personal level? Probably not. If I had to choose between those two I would probably choose the MT09(SP) because I like riding on track too much, but there are definitely other options I'd prefer for that. So what do I think about the MT09 then? I think it is a great all-round full-A-class motorcycle which your average rider can thoroughly enjoy as a step up from their A2 MT07 for example. I really think it is a great jack of all trades motorcycle, I just personally think it is a master of none of those. Cheers!

[@Swisha90s]

Ive got the 3rd gen sp 21 mod, i put gilles handlebars lowers on, gilles rearset and a hyperpro dynamic steering damper So a lower bar, higher and further back peg placement and more residtance on the bars. Its a completely different bike than stock. Getting new brakes next season

[@AbhayKumar-ds9nb]

Great video bro , i really liked your honest opinions

[@RickChardet]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you

[@motorcyclerider3956]

Definitely sharper looking. I have gen 3 but prefer looks of newer model 👌

[@RickChardet]

Agreed, I like all the models but this one looks amazing 😍

[@aashishnakarmi1690]

Its the best looking one yet

[@chriswest2290]

same. I have a gen 3 2022. the gen 4 is a better bike all round and thats saying something as the gen 3 is awesome.

[@Pseudo_Placebo]

I am so glad to have bought a rn43 SP back then and with ECU mapping, airbox mod and blipper, it is in no way inferior to the new one... currently 125 HP and 99 Nm and with Akra and Euro 4 the much better sound

[@tranquilmind8487]

Wow very nice scenery but extremely narrow roads compared to the US! Thanks for the review

[@TheMototoro]

In the middle of the Netherland there are a lot of these small and bendy roads near rivers. In the weekend a bit crowdy.

[@RickChardet]

Thanks for watching! Yeah our roads are definitely better suited for smaller capacity machines 😀

[@DanE34M5]

Thanks for an honest review. I’m seriously considering one of these to run alongside my KTM 690 smcr, there is nothing to touch the KTM on the roads like the ones on your video but after about 45mins you’ve had enough. I really just need a do everything bike which I think the MT09 might be.

[@RickChardet]

@@DanE34M5 sounds like a good decision! MT-09 would be a nice blend in refinement and hooliganism for you

[@fred3527]

Well informed view. I agree with you about the Gen3 dash. Your overall review was positive, but with some reservations. I would be interested to know which bike better hits the mark for you?

[@RickChardet]

@@fred3527 I'm getting older and more relaxed in my riding style, and the bikes I like reflect that haha. Rode a Goldwing last week and absolutely loved it! I also really enjoyed the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

[@fred3527]

@@RickChardet I may have guessed the 650, but not the Goldwing. I want to complement you on your excellent English, really impressive.

@@fred3527 Hahaha me too, it's an amazing bike, but maybe for when I'm in my 50's 😂 thank you!

[@KamarulZaman-p2y]

Hi, can you share on chassis crack or damage in MT09, it cracks in all generation

[@davidmallia628]

Yes, maybe a Ducati Hypermotard 698 mono would give more fun at more moderate speeds, suitable for country roads, city riding, navigating congested traffic. What are your thoughts? Have you test rode the Ducati, or, maybe, you intend to?

[@aluisious]

Lots of fun until the engine breaks.

[@RickChardet]

Would love to! I love supermotos and they work really well on our roads here in NL

[@davidmallia628]

@@RickChardet waiting for your review then! I too love supermoto's. I had a DRZ400SM, but it is outdated. It does not have fuel injection, no sixth gear, no quick shifter, no riding modes, not even a fuel gauge. It is even low on power. What it did have is a very good power to weight ratio. The Ducati should be ideal for our roads in Malta, also. It has just the right power, and weight. Perfect for navigating traffic, twisty country roads, and dirt tracks.

[@davidmallia628]

@@aluisious OK, so Japanese bikes are reliable, although, these days, European brands are catching up, all except KTM. But what use is reliability if the motorbikes we want does not exist. Where are the Japanese supermotos similar to the Ducati 698. Tell me, and I will buy one.

[@RickChardet]

@@davidmallia628 wow I would love to ride in malta, you are lucky! The drz is a great bike 👌

[@UrbanXSR]

Nice video man! Going to test ride the xsr900 and mt09. Currently saving up for a mt09sp. What's your thought on height? I'm 6"4 (classis Dutchman haha).

[@RickChardet]

@@UrbanXSR I'm about 1.85m and it fit me well! I would say it's decently roomy for a middleweight naked. Thanks for watching :)

[@JamesBond-ph6hr]

Yeah what is up with that seat?? Why is it so aggressively and noticeably pushing forward? I have to push myself back of the handlebars. So annoying. Any suggestions for a solution?

[@lawrencemercieca]

You’re meant to sit with your crotch right into the tank The seat does exactly what it needs to do If you want to sit further back you need a cruiser 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RickChardet]

It seems to be a common theme with a lot of the bikes I test, very annoying. Guess we'll have to buy aftermarket seats!

[@JamesBond-ph6hr]

@@RickChardet you mentioned it was too powerful. Did you try it in the lowest power mode?

[@TheMototoro]

Goede review met normaal gedrag op de openbare weg! Voor NL is een MT-09 meer dan snel genoeg, maar vind het persoonlijk niet extreem. Welke naked zou jij persoonlijk kiezen?

[@RickChardet]

Thanks voor je reactie! Ik heb zelf 3 mt-07s gehad, dus ik zou persoonlijk weer in die klasse kijken. 70-80pk vind ik het leukst op straat ✌️

[@iefie]

@@RickChardet vind jij de mt-07 "beter" dan de mt-09? Ik heb zelf een '22 mt-07 en rijd prima. Maar toch trekt de mt-09 mijn aandacht. De mt-07 staat bekend om zijn karakter. Mist de mt-09 het karakter wat ik hoor in de video? Voor gewoon op straat heb je inderdaad niet meer nodig dan 75 pk. Ben heel benieuwd wat jij tussen deze 2 motoren vind. Mt-07 vs mt-09

[@RickChardet]

@@iefie ik heb zelf 3 mt-07s gehad dus ben sowieso bevooroordeeld haha, maar dat beantwoord misschien ook je vraag! Voor mijn rijstijl, de wegen in Nederland en hoe streng onze politie is vind ik 70-80pk perfect op straat. Genoeg vermogen om je te vermaken zonder heel illegaal te zijn. Daarnaast vind ik persoonlijk dat 2 cylinder blokken het meeste karakter hebben, maar daar is iedereen natuurlijk anders in. De mt-09 is in ieder objectief aspect beter, maar ik zou zelf eerder weer richting een mt-07 kijken!

[@iefie]

@@RickChardet Thanks, ja het karakter van de mt07 is echt leuk. Ik dacht zelf dat de mt09 hetzelfde karakter zou hebben maar dan sneller met alle opties erop maar dat is het dus niet.Heb jij bij alle mt's de originele vering gehouden? ben heel benieuwd hoe hij rijd met andere vering, maar das niet goedkoop.

[@iefie]

en waar blijft t filmpje met een mt07 hahaha

[@andrewplayer4009]

I appreciate your honest review. But I have a 2024 Yamaha MT-09, and I just love it! Too refined? I disagree. I love that this thing is so refined. I have a few gripes about this bike. But overall, I am thrilled with my MT-09. It never ceases to put a smile on my face when I'm riding it on a good road.

[@RickChardet]

@@andrewplayer4009 glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching :)

The exhaust doesn't fit to the whole black outfit. Looks kind of cheap. Otherwise currently my fave bike beside the Triple RS. How tall are you?

[@Darttopper]

Rond 6 minuten zeg je dat je hem helemaal niks vindt omdat ie niet Special en te Refined is, maar op het eind is je conclusie hij is to fast en to extreme?

[@RickChardet]

Bedankt voor reactie, de conclusie had ik inderdaad beter kunnen verwoorden! Wat ik bedoel is dat veel moderne motoren (en deze mt-09) zo verfijnd zijn dat je best hard moet rijden om de emotie er uit te halen. Persoonlijk ben ik niet goed genoege rijder (en probeer ik altijd redelijk legaal te zijn) om bij die emotie op straat te komen. Hopelijk maakt dat het wat duidelijker! Bedankt voor het kijken ✌️

Im kinda got your experience with the driving. This Bike gets special when you throttle it. But you will loose your licence so fast. At normal Speed this Bike is nothing special. So im not sure what i think of my New Bike. 😂😂

Mt07 😅

[@aluisious]

It's cute when you people talk about a 110 hp bike like it's so fast you'll lose your license tomorrow. Imagine if you rode a fast bike.

[@TheMototoro]

This MT-09 is more than fast enough on the bendy roads which we got here in the west of europe. It’s more agile than a MT-10 or ZH-2.

[@RickChardet]

Exactly how I feel ✌️ you have to go quite fast to get to the emotion of most newer bikes, by that time you're in jail or dead 😂

[@David-m7f3g]

😂😂 Yes thats why i love my cf moto 450 mt more than my yamaha

[@bikee4]

[@blob2092]

nice bike however i am faster then u i have the streetfighter with v4

[@anderss1293]

Good bike, terrible test. You choose really small, bendy roads and complian about "too much power"? I useed to own a 09 (i dont any more), the wide range of power (no matter rews) was a good point. Sittning like you are on a motocross was nopt always that nice... High speed gets uncomfortable if you drive some distance. For short trips it is great fun.
