Just sold my 2011 Yamaha Fz8 and I’m picking up my 2019 Ice Fluo 09 this weekend for $6,700 with only 650 miles. Huge score I’d say 🤙🏼

[@TheTAEclub]

Whaat that's a great deal I'm literally looking for the same spec lol

[@IowasDirtyCivilian]

I love the pull of the 09. Its so blunt. Hits you in the face like a train. You can see time stretch before your very own eyes. Then it tops out at 132mph 😅

[@Davidwhat]

I'm in love with these... about to buy one. i'm in Jax... ride through saint auggy all the time.

[@julietechosierra]

hell yeah, the mt09 is a blast. If you ever seen me out around town don't hesitate to say hi! I'm around jax a lot too.

[@OleMarius92]

Nice video buddy!

[@kalebmartinson]

Fantastic video👌

[@Zenpalmelao]

Great video! Thanks

[@julietechosierra]

One other great thing about the MT-09 that makes it good for daily commuting is the traction control, rider modes and ABS which work really well if you get caught in the rain. Switching rider mode to "B" and setting traction control on "2" makes the bike handle really well in wet conditions. ❗❗❗ Let me know in the comments what ya'll are riding for your daily! Thanks! ❓❓❓

[@illuforce]

Can a Yamaha r3 be a good daily commuter bike for a noob and for long rides?

[@julietechosierra]

LEC illuforce Personally I think the R3 makes a great beginner bike. It’s got enough power to have fun with but can be very forgiving. As far as long rides...I guess that depends on how far your going. The R3 is pretty comfortable because it has you sitting more upright than a bigger sport bike. But for me after about 3 hours on the R3 that’s when it starts to become uncomfortable/tiring. But if your just communing an hour or less to and from work/school it would work pretty well for that.

[@idka4523]

I commuted 60 miles M-F to school on my 2015 fz09, it's surprisingly not so bad. I did swap out the seat in the first semester though. I filled up every day

[@corneliuvaleanu5845]

I have a 2018 MT09 SP and I totaly agree with you. I have a 42km daily commuting ride: city belt, highway, narrow city roads and the bike is great for them. Strong points: engine with hp and torque, the way it looks, good price, good suspension and even brakes, modern bike, rider position, 1gas liter per 17km Not strong ppints: rear tyre has short life because traction control and quick shifter, sport exhaust means full sistem and it is expensive and sounds just load. Finally, it is a great bike for everyday ride.

[@Brian_R6]

So I had a 2013 R6 it was my first ever owned motorcycle that I sometimes commute to work with, about 46 miles to and from but sold it not too long after since I usually do street riding in caribbean climate and bad roads. I got a 2018 mt09 and the amount of torque you get compared to a 600cc sport bike is insane. It's so much more comfortable and the wind isn't bad once you're going around 60mph. I did however get a Puig touring screen to battle the wind for weekend spirited rides and might get a comfort seat in the future since the stock one gives me some butt soreness after a few hours.

[@AzraelIgnis]

I thought that looked familiar. I'm not from Florida but have been to St. Augustine several times. I've cruised the A1A many times.

Great video, thanks for taking the time. How does it handle at around town at a lower speed? I Love the weight and could be getting the blacked out 2020?! I appreciate your help

[@julietechosierra]

badman goodheart super easy to handle around town even at low speeds. ***as long as you have good throttle/wrist control. It’s super torquey.

[@lralcantara]

I decided to get a bike as a daily driver on dec 2018 (been riding since age 15, so no problem there), and got a 2019 MT-07, great daily driver. Decided to upgrade to 2019 MT-09 2 months ago, let me tell you... no complaints at all. I had my doubts at first, but after tweaking the suspension to my weight, this thing rides however you want it... relaxed, hard, racing style, cruising, doesn't matter and it looks so good. Gas mileage is not bad also.... Only thing I will do, is either redo the seat or get the OEM Comfort seat.

[@julietechosierra]

That's awesome, Glad to hear you are enjoying your MT09! I also had to tweak my suspension to my weight and I love how it rides. I also highly recommend the OEM comfort seat, just know that at first it might seem uncomfortable...but it has to be broken in. But once the comfort seat is broken in...it's amazing!

Nope not a part of it...but I'm definitely gonna check it out, maybe I can catch the next group buy. 20% is a pretty decent discount! Thank you!

[@chincemagnet]

My experience commuting with an MT09, 40 miles round trip, is its an excellent commuter except for the fact that tire wear combined with poor fuel efficiency means it’s no less expensive than driving a reasonably fuel efficient car. It’s waaaay more fun, and that counts for a lot. But I discovered I was burning through tires too fast to make commuting on an MT09 worthwhile. And there’s two things about that, that sucks. I hate mounting tires, and tires are expensive.

[@julietechosierra]

Yeah, with how I ride lately I feel I'm spending just as much on gas as my VW GTI...It's just hard to baby the throttle on this bike because it's so fun! My tires don't seem to be wearing down too fast though, what kind of tires were you running? Mine came with some Dunlop sportmax's on it.

[@chincemagnet]

@@julietechosierra the first set was Bridgestone S20s I think, they may have been S21s but I'm pretty sure they were S20s, the rear lasted about 2500 miles. After that I got Angel GT2's, and they lasted 3600-3800 for a rear. When you put a shit load of miles on, a rear only lasts a couple months. I put 8000 miles on my MT09 last year. I think it has a lot to do with the roads where I live, they're all asphalt and in shitty condition.

[@kobayashimaru8114]

Coming from a 600 to the MT-09 there's no question that the MT-09 makes for a better commuter bike. However, most of that is due to ergos. Neither the 600 or the MT are very happy chugging along with traffic at low speed and low acceleration. It wants to be ridden like a hooligan. Although I love it, if commuting is your first priority then I would agree that the MT-07 is probably a better choice.

[@lucyferina]

Those bikes are called MT (Empty) for a reason gas mileage is not great on those small tanks. other than that they are great. I got both the MT-10 and the MT09 and I can tell you, to me the MT09 seems more fun for the most part, of course the MT-10 is great when you need balls to the wall power, the little windshield on the MT-10 actually does work, yes the MT-09 needs a windscreen once you go faster than 80 it is a must. My mods, of course proper turn signals with the LED relay, Mirror extenders (the OEM mirrors don't bother me but I needed them to be a little further out). radiator covers, and that is about it, I actually like how quiet that bike is, the MT-10 is just a little louder but not that much.

[@julietechosierra]

I've contemplated trading my MT09 in for the MT10 at times...But i'm also leaning towards a cruiser so who knows...

[@lucyferina]

@@julietechosierra Test ride the MT-10 if you can, it is a very different ride from the MT-09, even though the bikes weigh almost the same the ride feels different , and also even though the CCs are very close, the 10 has way more torque than the 9. but if you are considering a cruiser, I say test ride both. I traded my cruiser for the two nakeds (the 9 and the 10) and at times I miss it (mostly because of the storage).

OK, I did it. I went and purchased a 2020 Silver and blue MT-09 it has 3000 miles. Austin exhaust. small wind reflector. Battery tender. all the things I would want. I don't have to do a thing but ride that thing and enjoy the road. It has all LED lighting. I was so excited riding home. The baffle is out on the pipe. Its pretty loud, but it sounds awesome.

[@Jawadagha]

Hey !! great vid, can you charge ur phone with the mt09 ? Is there any option to charge it ? And can you use the bike in all weather conditions? Daily riding office and all ?

[@yourwifesboyfriend6081]

There is a plug under the tank that you can purchase an adapter to usb. From there you can run a charger. I use quadlock’s system. The plug only receives power while the bike is on. These bikes can be ridden in all conditions except for ice. Ice and motorcycles do not go together. If riding in wet weather, do be sure to lube the chain.

[@marcosalarcon3341]

Where in fl are u?

[@unaetnumitsirc]

I'm getting around 200 km on a full tank, which is something near 130 in miles, Having a normal riding style, with hard accelerations here and there, also using it in A mode all the time and tcs 1. For anyone who ride it in standard or B mode, you should get an MT-07 :)

[@julietechosierra]

that sounds like the kind of mileage that I get if I'm doing a lot of riding around town in A mode with a lot of hard accelerations. Normal highway riding though to and from work I get 45-50'ish MPG...it's just so hard to drive it "normal" because the bike is such a blast when you open the throttle.

[@sakis231000]

Hi there. I am 6.9 (1.75m). I drive every day in my city but every last day of month i have to go for a 60 miles (100km) road trip and come back. If i get your wind screen, in your opinion do you think i could keep a speed about 90 miles /h (150klm/h) during this trip or it will be exhausting? Thanks for your time. Enjoy riding and be always safe.

[@julietechosierra]

I usually cruise at 85mph sometimes and the windscreen still makes the ride pretty comfortable at that speed. Once you start going faster than that though the wind becomes a little more felt on your upper body/head. If you are going to cruise at 90+mph for an extended period of time then you might want a taller windscreen. But if you don't like the look of taller windscreens then I think the MRA would work just fine.

[@sommerbrownivory5921]

Could I ride this as a beginner in B mode with traction 2 to prevent wheelies?

[@julietechosierra]

Even in B mode the bike has a lot of power. I personally do not like it in B mode because I feel there is too much of a delay in power delivery when you twist the throttle...which can be a good thing, but also a bad thing. The biggest thing when starting on a bigger bike is to just take it slow and know your limits.

[@jecsah]

My commute is similar to yours. The fj09 is better in pretty much every way, miles to a tank, screen, and luggage.

[@julietechosierra]

for sure, the fj's are really nice and with the higher windscreen + the luggage space they are definitely a better commuter bike.

[@jessecornelius392]

They are fugly though.

I have the same bike w/ same color, lol. Is the MRA screen worth it? I tried other screens (GIVI) and I wasn't really impressed.

[@julietechosierra]

IMO the MRA screen is worth it, its a bit overpriced though. I don't have any experience with any other windscreens...but I know riding without one and with one is a huge difference, especially at highway speeds.

I’ve been looking for a decent tank bag but nothing I’ve really liked yet. I usually just keep my wallet on the inside pocket of my riding jacket and just keep digital copies of my insurance and registration on my phone (But I would verify with your local laws/authorities to make sure that is acceptable where you live). And I usually always ride with a backpack just incase I need more room for anything else.

Not a good commuter. I love my MT but dread long commutes on this thing. Wind kicks your arse no matter what windscreen you get. Seat sucks, guzzles gas (at least mine does),boring as hell unless youre speeding… a cruiser with a windscreen or adventure bike beats this thing by miles for commuting. That being said, the mt is great for what it was built for, which isn’t commuting. Get a fj-09 for the commute.
