Which Yamaha MT Should You Buy 2023? (MT-07 vs MT-09 vs MT-10)

[@garyrayner6330]

This is the reason I sold my mt10 and bought the new mt09. Such a good daily and plenty of useable punch for the road. Love how fuel efficient it is also, seriously like 40% better fuel economy than my mt10.

[@brianschutt5359]

The fuel mileage was a HUGE deciding factor for me going with the MT09. I put some miles on my bikes!

The suspension is 💩 front and back On the good side i love the engine and im seriously thinking of getting the r9 when it comes out

[@lonelybikr]

A tune and an exhaust it would be a blast to ride

[@calculatorade]

Went from an FZ09 and ZX14R to an MT07 and ZH2. The FZ09 (MT09) is a perfect all around street bike. The MT07 is a perfect stunt bike and economical cruiser. The ZH2 is just unreal as a naked bike. All Japanese manufacturers make the best bikes/bang for the buck.

[@The-Wisdom-Whisperer]

I've had my 2020 MT09 since new off the showroom floor. It has a few tasteful mods/upgrades and I absolutely love it. Perfect for commuting, a lot of power, more than you'd ever need for the street (in the past I owned several suberbikes). The MT09 is amazing on fuel (5.6L/100kms even when gunning it everywhere, gotten as low as 4.6L/100kms). In my ice fluo colour scheme she turns heads everywhere I go, and the sound is just a true Yamaha symphony, especially with the full Akrapovik exhaust and factory quick shifter.

[@pistolpete6321]

Can’t go wrong with any one of those bikes. As much as I love the sound of the MT10 I don’t like the looks so most likely would go with theMT09 and save some money as well. Great video!

[@KHIJAPAN]

The way you put it you are right. But maybe not so much 😊 I owned a 2022 MT-09 SP and tuned it to 123whp. Very powerful very enjoyable in the canyon, and on mode 2 very pleasant city riding. Now I am riding a 2023 MT-10 fully tuned with 169whp, FKR 102 Ohlins front, TTX 36 GP Ohlins at the rear. Brakes are not worst than the rest of the big bikes withe exception of the expensive Ducati. Though the suspension I have is much better than any of them. Honesty in the canyons there is NOTHING to catch this monster!! Especially when there are short to middle straights and a lot of twisty roads. Yes cost me the same as an aprilia tuono factory, but my setup is lights ahead of them...

[@chriswest2290]

You would say the same about the Aprilia , if you owned one.

[@KHIJAPAN]

@@chriswest2290 May be yes. But too many reliability problems...It is good for one year, then it is a constant trouble

[@Rick-ve5lx]

I’ve got the 07. I’ve got a Ti exhaust, k-tech suspension and a mild ecu tuneup to smooth her out. 70bhp is plenty for me. Disadvantages: crap seat, throttle travel too long (R6 tube fixes it when I get round to it someday) and the tank shape funnels cold air over the gonads, requiring insulation via a hat down the trousers. Everything else with the bike is spot on, it’s a very good little machine.

The mt09 is the best street fighter ever, inside big cities nothing,nothing can catch you if you have enough experience,the weight and the power and the handling is really amazing ❤

Having owned a MT07 and now a MT09 SP. I'd say the MT07 is such much fun to be a hooligan on. That said I prefer the MT09 SP, the Triple sounds incredible and I love the cruise control on highway commutes.

[@Edgar-bj5cr]

Hey I need your opinion, I have a fz07 and don’t stunt on it just speed in straight lights for a little bit or off a red light lol . I’ve been thinking of switch to the 09. Would you recommend it for the speed and better for a passenger ?

[@Frank_Torre]

@@Edgar-bj5cr Yes I'd recommend the MT09. The MT07 is perfect for a hooligan bike, but I've noticed the MT09 SP is much more relaxing for me on my daily commute into Atlanta. Cruise control saves my wrists and as a chef I work with my hands all day. I'd say it's close between keeping a MT07 and getting a base MT09 as it comes down to your normal everyday riding. That said if you're buying a MT09 and can swing the extra like 1200 to 1500 the MT09 SP is absolutely worth it. The suspension alone is a huge upgrade and if you priced the parts to upgrade a MT09 to match it's SP variant you'd spend more than just buying the MT09 SP outright. I honestly think the MT09 SP is the perfect daily commute and get around naked bike. Power to have fun on the highway, torque to run round in the city, excellent handling for mountain twisties and a comfortable riding position. I really can't see myself ever getting rid of my MT09 SP.

[@Bahle_Gaji]

@@Frank_Torreyou talking the 3rd gen SP right? I really like the 2nd gens (especially my 07) across the lineup, I don’t think I’d be buying one if the gen-3’s any time soon. But how are you finding it?

[@shauns5278]

​​@@Edgar-bj5cr00% 09 just if you're looking at older ones you want a 2017+ and even they are still iffy. Had my front tire blowout and my suspension rebounded viciously and set me flying a good 50ft, I was hospitalized for over 2months. The new 3rd gens fix all the old issues. You can also pick up a used Speed Triple 1050 R for SUPER cheap nowadays if you want that triple howl. Have seen the 2014-15's for as low as $6K and they're making around 130HP with 81lb/ft while I have seen the updated 2016+ for around $8-13K depending on the newer you go and they're making 140HP. Speeds are SUPER comfortable and incredible for cruising. A 2016-17 1050 R for around $8K would be my suggestion they're an absolute steal at that price.

[@Frank_Torre]

@@Bahle_Gaji I honestly love my MT09 SP. It's the smoothest triple I've ever had. I've rode ever bike in the MT lineup besides the MT10 and the MT09 SP is my favourite. The handling is incredible and it's so easy to lean at any speed. IMO it's perfect for technical mountain road riding and your daily commute and riding around in the city. I've yet to try a track day with it but I'm confident it wouldn't let me down.

I tried the MT07 and MT09. Both are fantastic bikes, but the MT09 is two steps ahead: better engine, almost the same weight, better brakes, better suspension and more electronics. I can not imagine that someone needs more power, torque and performance that the MT09 provides. Have not tried the MT10 yet, I imagine that it has to be a blast, but only if you want an inline four I would prefer this bike versus the MT09.

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

The MT07 would be my pick, but it needs a set of more aggressive camshafts, Yamaha shortchanged it in that department. You can pick up close to 10rwhp from cams and a thinner headgasket, and get the hp into the mid 80's at the wheel which IMO with slightly stiffer fork damping is right where it should be. mid 80's-100rwhp is the fun zone in my opinion for a reasonable road going bike. It's fast enough to have fun, but not so fast that you feel the need to go triple digits everywhere to get a feel for it.

[@lunoirxx]

Agreed

[@astrostrotch]

I've mulled this over but concluded the best route for me would be a full system, filter, dial in the standard cams and a flash to match.

A little more detail on the MT-09 vs MT-07: Quick shifter is up and down and comes as standard.

Have the 22' SP here in the states. Wonderful bike with the external rear preload/compression adjustments and easy to access rebound at the back of the rear shock/spring.

MT-07 is just pure fun. Feels like a big supermoto. It’s raw and torquey. It won’t scare you. It’s fun to toss around. It’s an amazing stunt bike. Can’t say the same about the other two. They’re just faster and a lot of bike to handle. They just don’t have the same “fun factor” the 07 has. Also, imo, the CP2 sounds the best. The CP3 screams up top. And the R1 engine is obviously amazing. But that CP2 from idle to just rompin on it will never get old.

[@_empty10]

My first bike was an '18 mt07. Traded it back into the dealer 2mo later for an '18 mt09. Did almost every upgrade to the 09 you could at the time, full exhaust, front and rear suspension, ecu flash, bunch of cosmetics, etc. Rode the mt09 for 4yr, sold it, then picked up a '22 mt10. Looking back I should have started on the mt09 based on previous experience riding dirt bikes. I really enjoyed the mt09 for what it was, but i was craving more. The gen2 was really behind in electronics, and quality components compared to kawasaki, triump, and ktm at the time. I really like the mt10 for the power, ergonomics, electronics, and sound. I may have considered another mt09, but to me they look like rubbish now. My current riding consists of country roads and highway and the mt10 handles them the best imo. If Yamaha ever decides to overhaul the look of the mt09, I may be interested, but currently i just don't vibe with the gen3 or gen4.

MT10 is absolutely horrid in mileage tho, so idk how you'd say it's better for country roads or highway lol. MT09 tackles those roads easily with decent consumption. Idk why people would really need the power of the MT10. Only thing I'd say is a big plus is the cruise control

Nice movie. thnx! I do agree! I ride a 2022 09SP and I just love it. It's my second MT09, before the SP I owned a 2020 MT09. The 2022 is definitely better; faster cornering and better feeling in the front, but it's not easy to get the suspension right. The recommended fabric suspension adjustments are a bit too hard for the road, especially the front. And if you ride it with 2, you need to adjust again... The secret is to find the good compromise... Also, my previous bike, the MT09 2020, was more 'easy' to ride. Less feeling in the corners, but also less aggressive and more forgiving, especially at high speed. A steer damper on the 2022 SP is not an unnecessary option to get the same 'safe' feeling' at high speed. But what an amazing bike! It makes me smile every time I ride it....

Got one of the first the mt09 sp 21 in my country when is launched, and, in the middle weight segment it is for me far the best bike. That tork is insane and useable, instead of the Mt10 i had test, no power until you get your permit taken. Bref, mt09 sp is love on 2 Wheels

[@nobbystyles4807]

yeah the 9 for me was a banger .... wish i never sold it. i thought about getting a 10 but as you say you cant really open that bike up on the roads whereas the 9 you can batter it all day long.

[@nickstevens3139]

I am 174 cm in height and find the MT07 too cramped, the XSR 700 would be a better option. I own an XSR900, the motor is awesome, why would you need more power?

[@lorenzell3104]

I owned a FJ 09 Yamaha. The engine is great, and it's a very good bike. But I almost list it on the highway one day as it went into a wobble. It also has a very stiff ride. You get bounced around a lot by the bumps, which is why I sold it.

[@godzeus9702]

MT07/FZ07great stunt bike cheaper than other stunt builds. Reliable, Fun, Torque, any year. Down fall is front forks but add thicker oil or replace those springs. MT09 torque/Fun/fast enough to get you away or get your license taken. MT09SP cruise control, better suspension than the regular MT09. MT10 auto bots transform a little heavier but faster yet a cruiser but not as fast as other Naked Bikes. At the Liter Naked class it’s slower but very durable and reliable.

Suggestion for next video. Kawasaki naked line up, Z650 Performance - Z900SE Performance - ZH2SE Performance

[@Mr75044]

Had a Yamaha xs 850 Triple in the 80s Pull 90 in second.. Was called the poor man's bmw in the day. Triples are all about pulling power.. Took it from England to Yugoslavia over the Alps.. via Berlin. Away for a month. Never missed a beat. Had a 750 before that And an LCRD Before that wheelie machine

[@tarnishedsquid2967]

I wanted an MT 10 alas insurance said otherwise. So I got a shiny blue XSR 900 all I can say is I'm very happy with it. Yamaha undoubtedly making some of the best engines in motorbikes right now.

[@chipkosboth3233]

I chose the MT-09 SP to replace my 2007 FZ1. The SP is brilliant. A hooligan when you want and perfect just getting around town.

[@SeanOzz]

Sounds like I should have got the 9. I got the 7 cuz my riding season is about 3-4 months and wanted to save a few bucks. Plus no one had any 9’s in stock anywhere. 😊

[@aforashish7]

Old headlamp was awesome. 😢

[@bartoszpajak2285]

In my opinion, the Mt07 is not really an option since the release of the new bikes like Trident, GSX 8 and Hornet 750. The Mt09 is a great bike, although personally I do have an issue with its looks. As for the Mt10 - more than 120 HP are needed for your ego and not for speed on the road.

[@RideSafeNSmart]

Thanks for this, I've got a 2022 mt09 love it to bits but still extremely tempted to go for an mt10 next... total costs are significantly higher though and I'm asking myself will I be paying alot more and maybe enjoying riding less. Its generally more fun to ride a smaller bike at 8tenths than a bigger bike at 4tenths eh

[@78Outlaw]

Rode both MT07 and MT09 in the Alicante hills 🇪🇸 😎 and 9 way more accomplished and stable but the 7 way more fun and chuckable chasing the 9s and rolling on hard leaned over in the hairpins, preferred the sound of the twin especially on decel. Front end weakest point on 7 and rear easy to lock up without a slipper

[@joaoseven460]

The 07 is a blast because it is just so freaking raw. When you Ride it hard it scares the shit out of you because it is super unstable at the rear, and the fork doesnt cope with anything but perfect tarmac

[@78Outlaw]

@@joaoseven460 yup, scary fun 🤩.. and sometimes 💩 😆

[@3fr]

Being a tall rider (1,90m) I personally bought the MT10SP, it's an amazing machine and wouldn't change for an MT09 😅

[@stever8776]

I really like my 2022 MT-09. Only wish the pegs were adjustable farther foward for my build. I feel a little cramped in my knees. One of my all time favorite bike was my Yamaha 2005 FZ1. The 5 valve engine was marvelous throughout the rev range. And the suspension could handle rough roads at a good clip. But the number one thing I liked was the styling and the ergonomics. More upright like its UJM liter bike heritage. I would buy the a MT-10 tomorrow if it was just like my beloved FZ1 2005 with the latest upgrades. Perhaps my age is showing. I spent the 80's on UJM standard liter bikes. Comfortable, lots of Torque. Handling wasn't great but we thought it was. The latest remake of the 1982 Katana is close but not as refined. Cheers

[@TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsKnut]

Getting my licence as we speak and driving the MT-07 at my local driving school. Seeing as I´ve never driven a motorbike or even moped, it feels like a rocket

[@hmm3160]

I bought a 2023 MT10SP... but I test rode the XSR900 (didn't have an MT09 demo). To be honest, if I wasn't so set on the electronic Ohlins, the XSR/MT09 is absolutely the best bang for buck bike on the market. It was heaps of fun and, if I'm completely honest, I probably felt a little more confident pushing the XSR closer to the edge of its performance capability. They had a really good discount on the MT10 I bought, but if I were paying full retail, it would be MT09 every day of the week. I rode the Gen1 MT09 back in the day and felt at the time the Triumph STR was a better bike, but having ridden the latest Gen XSR, all the quibbles I had with the bike back then have been fixed.

[@hennievangalen3789]

Triple engine all the way! Yamaha fan since late seventies. Bought one of the very first XT500 in 1976.

[@extraordinarywolf320]

Always go for the biggest cc period!!!!! Example you get a 600cc bike just to get tired of it in6 months and then you want the 1000cc.

[@UltimateEnd0]

Thanks planning on getting a ZX10R or R1 as my first bike :) Probably ZX10R

[@kalnwi2023]

I'm getting a Hayabusa for my first bike .@@UltimateEnd0

[@thudtheace]

My son has an MT-03 (his first bike) and it is a hoot! Such a fun bike!

[@derekclark9411]

in 2020 I road tested the MT10, awesome bike but I couldn't keep the front wheel on the ground, and was concerned for my licence, I also tested the Tracer 900GT at the same time (as I wanted a bike for a bit of touring too) , which really was fast enough on the road, but more engaging to ride, with that great triple sound and as it was also on a discount it was a no brainer.'Also thought build quality was better on The Tracer/MT09. I have since had a full arrow system fitted and a remap, and is goes and sounds great. Must be a triple thing for me as I also loved my Triumph Speed Triple... It keeps up with my mates bigger 1000cc plus superbikes when we ride down to Spain through France each year (avoiding motorways), plus it has the added advantage of tank range (and fitted panniers for the trip). One of the lads has an MT10 and he is always worried about running out of fuel (Empty 10 🙂). I have also ridden the MT07, which was fun too. I also had a go on an MT09 SP when mine was in for service, I really loved the down shifter/Blipper, the only thing that I wish mine had fitted. To be fair all 3 are great bikes but I am glad I got the Tracer 900 GT..

[@brianschutt5359]

I have two MT09’s both 3rd gen. Absolutely love them!

[@amococ2487]

Why do you have 2 of the same bike?

[@harorider96]

Lol bro what

[@Cyan37]

It's the looks that destroy them for me. The 2016 version of the MT-09 was beautiful. Edit: Tried out an MT-07 today (older one with old screen) and the thing fehlt incredibly cheap. The gears don't know where they wanna be. False neutrals. Indicator knob felt flimsy and didn't always work correctly,... The engine is nice and all but it's not a bike I would recommend to anyone.

[@WyattWillis88]

I know its too much for street/daily riding but I couldnt get anything but the 10 for the sound/novelty of the only production crossplane 4 cylinder

[@jaredmotopnw]

That Mt09 headlight I just can’t get over.

[@DucatiDale]

After trying the duke 890r and the st765 rs I now have a 2023 mt09 sp in the garage best road bike I’ve owned pretty much fully kitted out bar £180 heated grips makes the choice easier

[@sameed3]

I have the mt10 sp. the gas is not that great and you get about 200km for a full tank . It is super fun to ride, a lot of power and torque … insane. I love it . I don’t mind filling up the gas tank 3x a week.

[@darinsassen617]

bought a '21 MT 07 new. Previous bike was an R6. The MT07 seems to be a perfect bike and I can't give it any negative marks. Only problem though, I'm bored.

[@andikardian9014]

I like how three of them have different engine configuration and different number of cylinders. That makes the feel and sound even more different. for comparison, the z800, z900 and z1000 have the exact same number of cylinder and the exact same engine configuration and relatively exact same sounds. Don't get me wrong, i like zx bikes from Kawasaki, but that comparison is just made me appreciate Yamaha more.

[@stephenwhiteley2879]

Great video Bob, thanks for sharing

[@Love4boost]

Definitely MT-09 for now. If they’d fully update the MT-07 or make an SP with all the bells and whistles the MT-09 has. Then I’d probably trade down or across however you figure it. I can ignore the steel tube chassis because they’ve made it perform so well. But the suspension, brakes, and clutch are too much of a sacrifice to give up, if you’re already on an MT-09

[@robbieracer3294]

Instead Yamaha gave it the worse looking dash ever on a bike ..it's literally a tablet turned sideways. And the upped the MSRP to 8200. I'd either save money and drop down to the 03 or go up and get the 09...skipping the 07 altogether.

[@tubejorrit]

Agreed, Yamaha make an MT-07 SP and I'll trade in my 1290 superduke.

[@CaptainCrossplane]

@@tubejorrit Just make your own MT07 bro lol with 1290 cash you can easily just throw ohlins on that badboy and call it a day

[@lprince3884]

I tried my friend's MT07 and overall is a good bike, very light and easy to ride. Kind of felt a little underpowered specially going up a hill I really had to push it a little more yet my mt09 really has a nice torque feel, I did upgrade the suspension it felt clumsy on bumps. For beginners MT07, for beginners and experience riders Mt09, the MT10 is nice but I rather get the R1 version instead of a naked bike for such a big engine.

[@RichardASK]

But the R1 is a Sports bike out and out, so nothing like the MT10 to ride. Why is it a big engine, it's 998cc. It's actually very compact for 160 odd bhp.

[@adamc457]

The whole line up is great if anyone threw me the keys to any each iteration of the MT i would be happy. What most people dont realise though is the difference between the r1 and the mt10 is the engine is the same but the gear box ratios are different so the mt10 tops out sooner despite sprocket changes etc but not that imagine people would be maxing out their bikes on the road its always just nice to know😅

[@kalnwi2023]

mt-03 ?

[@michaelmclarney1994]

My heart says the 10, my head says 09

[@yammt3148]

Got a '22 MT10... All it needs is an aftermarket headlight kit. Other than that, she's a wonderful monster.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

❤ MT09 sweet handling and punching power ❤

[@toofastnobrakes]

Would love to see the same kind of test but with some of the other manufacturers nakeds. Like ktm 790,890, and 1290

[@jasonk7072]

It would be the XSR900 for me. All the fun of the MT09 but looks like a motorbike rather than some sort of sci fi robot. And then there’s that kit that makes it look like an RD500…

[@hiddendragon415]

I think overall the XSR900 especially with the kit you mentioned looks better but you do have to put up with the plank of a seat.

[@yamahansolo]

Traded in my 21 mt07 on a 23 mt09. Best bike ever
