OC I am perfectly happy with my MT07. I am 68 years old and also have touring bike, a cruiser, and a duel sport. The MT07 provides me with the perfect amount of power for country riding here in Kentucky. I have owned sport bikes and a Street Triple with more power then I would practically use very often. The MT07 will get me from zero to 60 fast enough and I can pass in 5th gear easily. If I need to do interstate I will ride the Street Glide. I will keep my 3k in the bank.

It was just too much for what I wanted. I can get as much joy out of the MT07 as I did with the Triple without going over board. I saved 2 thousand dollars.

@@craigr306 if u get an ECU flash to fuel while off throttle, that will fix that usually, a bike cuts fueling when you're off the throttle, but an ECU flash can keep the engine fueling minimally so when u get back on the throttle, its much smoother than the abrupt fueling when getting back on the throttle with stock ECU settings

I liked when you mentioned "Raw Playfulness." I come from dirtbikes, and have always felt that streetbikes lack the mechanical feel that makes riding a motorcycle so spectacular. I recently got to spend a day on a FZ 07 and was astounded by how much they nailed it. It feels more like a supermoto than a streetbike, which I love.

[@jeffl1484]

I've ridden and raced sport bikes for the past decade, also rode a few touring bikes - wanted something after a while that gave me the 'best' of both worlds. I rode a '20 MT-07 and a '21 MT-09, both for about two years, love both but for my needs, and I love the aesthetics of the Mt-07, so that's what remains in my stable. Paired with a Brogue headlight kit, Akra Ti exhaust and a few other goodies, this bike is just a blast to look at, ride around town and still has power for the freeway without issue. Ride safe, all.

[@ther6ridaa313]

I’ve ridden both, yeah the MT09 is a quicker bike and has better handling but the 07 is more fun to ride. Power and handling isn’t everything. With an exhaust the 07 has the better sound and rumble under acceleration. If I wanted something with power and handling I’d just keep riding my tracked R6. So I’d choose the 07 (with a full Akra) any day. I’ve never had more fun on a bike than when I rode a mt07 (on the street)

[@sk8orhate55]

Question bro . I’m 6’4 230. Is the Mt-07 enough bike for me for a first bike or should I get the mt-09 because of my size? I’m not looking to be going 100+ unless I’m on a track . Just looking to have fun more than the power and handling , but i also don’t want it to be underpowered for my size

[@QuickRipzz]

​@@sk8orhate55I'm 5'10 and feel almost too tall for the mt07 🤣 but some people taller and bigger manage it. Personally sounds like a bigger bike would fit better for you but probably best to test ride and find out for yourself imo

[@WalterJohnson-er7bt]

I have owned over 30 bikes and have significant miles on many others. I bought a new 2022 MT09 and I put several thousand miles on it to date. The MT09 is simply just about a perfect mix of qualities for my style of riding. Powerful everywhere, decent handling, good riding position, electronic gadgets for everything and has a great aftermarket parts following all over the world. Add a few little items and you’ll be ready for any riding situations. This is a jewel of a bike and been around long enough Yamaha has ironed out the warts. I start my two wheels adventures in 1956 and I think the MT09 is my favorite bike in well over 60 years of riding. I will happy to finish my journey of life on bikes with the MT09!

[@YantoSP]

OC: Rode older FZ, enjoyed every moment. Got the new SP and I walk into the garage all the time just to spend time with it. I love looking at it as much as I love riding it. Obviously, I already made my choice. SP all day, err'day and twice on Sunday.

[@arrek6773]

I have driven both bikes and bought the MT07. The playfulness is amazing. I have ordered exhaust system and going to order full crash cage and round bar. If I had to upgrade just because of the power I would buy the MT09 SP.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

You could also probably just tune it to get more power.

[@bj4dj]

I haven’t had any of the mt range but I’ve had both versions of the xsr, 700 & the 900, the xsr700 was my favourite, the power is about right for uk roads, it’s more fun & playful, you can throw it around a lot more and personally gave me more confidence, wheelies are great fun on the 700 in second and a big clutch up in 3rd where as the 900 is quite violent in second but great in 3rd but then your on the back wheel doing 90, the more low down torque on the 700 is more fun, the 700 though is let down by it’s braking power and suspension when you start really gelling with the bike, you soon find it’s limits which could be much improved with better components, the reason I changed is because I felt I outgrew the power and felt like I needed something more, never had a tripple and loved the sound, amazing engine but just not for me, my partner has a street tripple and I can say I’m definitely a twin guy, I now have a Ducati monster evo 1100 100bhp and nearly the same in torque and weighs about the same as an xsr700, but I am a sucker for these supermotos, just wish they would make a 270degree twin one or even an sp version and slightly more power on the xsr/mt07 🤙🏻

[@beletix4503]

I personaly went from a 2016 MT-07 to an older 2019 MT-09 SP, and I absolutely love it. Its a completely different bike but still feels like home, loved the 07 and its playfulness but the 09 ticks all my boxes and feels more solid.

[@QuickRipzz]

Which do you prefer

[@MetroidMaster]

OC. I went from a 2016 FZ-07 to a 2021 MT-09 this year and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I loved the FZ, but the MT-09 takes the best parts of that riding experience and adds a shit ton of controllable power that takes it to that next level. I would strongly recommend the MT-07 to any inexperienced rider or someone that is going to be commuting on a bike, because its a ton of fun, easy to ride, and gets good gas mileage. But if you know what you are doing on the back of a bike and don't mind the more limited range, the MT-09 is a smile machine!

MT09 is a fantastic platform to start with. I bought a used 2018 MT09, and spent 2k to make it perfect for me. I’m in for 9k total, still less than the SP but I don’t have any of the special electronics either. Maybe it’s worth the extra money over the regular MT09, maybe it’s not, I’ll never know but The regular MT09 is a great bike 🔥🐲

[@cameronbell7390]

I have currently got a 2022 MT07 and the bike I got rid of to get it was a 2021 MT09 (non-SP). I prefer the size and "flickyness" of the 07 platform and the sound of the CP2 engine just suits me better. I'm also the sort of rider that likes to slam open the throttle and really rev out my bike and in Australia with our heavy handed speeding laws/focus the MT09 would just get me in way too much trouble on a regular basis. I don't really need the peak handling ability and the power of the 09 since I don't track it and I don't ride like crazy on the road. The only thing I would love is the cruise that the MT09SP has.

Hey Chase! I just got my first bike - MT07 this summer, still learning (I haven't got to ride it that much). Now it is winter over here in Norway, I have passed all the mandatory exercises, only ''exam'' left , then I'll get my license. Until then I have to ride with my friends as a trainee witch is a hustle, because time is usually an issue! The power of the MT-07 shocked me! Coming from nothing and feeling the power of the CP2 engine when throttling up to around 60mph at high RPM's and upshifting.... and it still pulls just as much?!.. Is a feeling that can only be special for a new rider I guess! It was mindblowing, awesome and abit scary at the same time! I felt like I was gonna get blown off the bike lol. I wanna test as many bikes in days to come, and yet I don't really want to do that just to enjoy this beast of a motorcycle. The MT07 has plenty of power for me (at this time). I don't feel like I need more torque. The SP MT09 will probably be a replacement for my bike in some years, but I'm not sure if I need it TBH. I'm 35 btw. Sorry for my bad English!

A couple months ago I mentioned I bought my first bike this year, being a Benelli 135, and wanted to buy an MT07 next. Some guy wrote a long comment about how I couldn't handle it. So I've got one on hold for Spring 2022 lol

@@carlosjavierrodriguezherre8513 thanks bro! I'm 5'5 and 125lb so I'm kinda limited lol but I've done well on my buddies MT03. And I've got a couple buddies who are interested in buying it. I had a lowside going around 35mph, just a scuff on the light and front fender, so I was only gonna charge around $2.7k if I did. But insurance is only $70 a year in Indiana so I may just bundle both bikes lol.

[@weetnietgeen]

i bought my '19 MT07 brand new when it came out and after 3 years, 2 holidays and 20.000km i still love the torque and playfullnes. But, I've come to the conclusion that I somewhat lack a little bit of power and speed. And after seeing the unveiling of the new '22 MT10SP, I think I'd rather save up a few more bucks and get that one instead of the '22 MT09SP. Which one of those two would you prefer? and why?

[@Samuel-qe9lj]

I will just get the 09, almost the same weight with way more torque

I bet your mt10 is a better commuter, it's got more headroom and doesn't need to work as hard as your 07 to hold the speeds.

[@hiimterry2009]

OC Almost seems a little unfair to rate the MT07 against the MT09 SP. But, all of your MT07 rides have gone a long way toward helping me decide. Especially since we ride the exact same roads.

Really appreciate Bo? (How do you spell that) input especially him making a visual comparison possible but after all that I would go with the MT 07 and I would never sell it off, why?

OC. If this video came out earlier, would have definitely gotten the MT-09 SP. Just got my 2021 MT-07 3 months ago. Would probably keep my bike for a few more years considering I paid a premium for it in my country. 19k USD for an MT-07 while MT-09 SP would have costed 25k USD

Same here from my MT03. Only my choices are MT09 or SV650. At the end I may end up with MT09 cause I think its more of a "forever" bike that will always put a smile on my face. Not looking to upgrade for a LONG time after this so I figure go with the MT09.

[@joeybyrnes3466]

I know these questions can always be very situational but do you think the jump from a Kawasaki z400 after two years of ride to a Yamaha mt-09 is too much

[@newbierides]

@chaseontwowheels Where is the video on the CB650R? I ride an MT07, but want a motorcycle that feels more like an actual motorcycle instead of a fun toy. But I live in a super windy area and I feel like the extra weight of the CB650R could help the bike feel a bit more planted. The MT09 is a good contender, but it is not much heavier than the MT07, so I feel like I would still not find it much more stable on windy days. None of the big youtubers make videos on the CB650R, I feel like that is unfair, that bike is super underrated, it looks amazing, the inline four sounds amazing and I hear it is butter smooth.

[@ribbonrides886]

an opinion of someone who 's been riding the base MT09 for 6 months now - I feel like I need to downgrade. I live in Europe, and have nice twisties but they're full of cars most of the time and when just moving around in city traffic, the bike has too much power and I almost always feel like the bike is bored. When I want to keep the speeds within legal limits, which I do, I really have to check myself with the throttle and it's just not that much fun. btw, before the MT09 I owned Tracer 7 and never felt the same way about it....

[@KNBProds]

OC: im in the MT07 crowd due to living in a major city with lots of traffic and very impolite other drivers around me...

[@Jay_Speed]

Recently did a fairly long test drive of the MT-07 and 09. I found the 07 a tiresome bike, after driving the 09 which was a lot better to drive and much more has the feel that I always liked from Yamaha. I drive bikes for more than fifty years and 47 of those on only Yamaha from which 32 only on thousands. Last year I wanted a new bike and got the Triumph Trident 660 because there was nothing that appealed to me from Yamaha. But the 2022 MT-09 is really good except for the front side, but that light cluster can be binned. Still want to test the MT-10 to see what the differences are, but this 09 really got to me. So I have to sell one or two or three of my other bikes, already sold one FZR Exup 1000 from 1994 a couple more to go.

[@klaxers]

OC: Just banging out the MT09 SP videos. I love it. Are you getting rid of the MT10 with a solid salute? @Chaseontwowheels

[@vlaDVille]

OC: I have a ‘20 MT-07 and when it’s time to upgrade, I’ll probably either get an XSR 900 or a Speed Triple. Tough choice though lol

[@motorcycleconnoisseur4936]

The new speed triple is in a totally different league. It makes 60 more horsepower… I own a 21 MT09, and have ridden the new speed triple. I’d love to have a speed triple, but the 29 mpg, and double the price make it impractical for me. It’s a rocket ship though!

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

Yea like the other guy said, the xsr900 and speedtriple are two complete different league of bikes. A 2020 07, that's a pretty new bike you got there.

I will let you know soon, currently on a '16 FZ-09, wife has a '20 MT-07, and i now have a '22 MT-09SP on order, should be here in a few weeks, and i have a long first trip planned for it.

[@gtgt8329]

I had been riding MT07 (2019) for 4 years and now recently bought MT09SP(2022), me and my mates we are riding in very twisty mountainous roads, almost all weekends. MT07 is a nice balanced Bike, but comparing it to MT09SP is just NOT RIGHT, because they are completly different Bike Categories in Price & Performance. Difference between them is HUGE. I mean in short twisties both of them will be more or less same, but twisties are not constant, so when twisties are more longer and road start to climb up, there is no way that an MT07 can be close to a MT09SP (I mean if both Riders have same skills), and very important on roads with lot of bumps, the MT07 Stock Suspension will not handle this vibrations and will not be able to stay on speed with MT09SP no WAY. For me MT07 is best Bike for Beginner or sombody that was not riding for long time, MT09SP needs more expirienced Rider that can edge this Huge Performance which offers this Great Bike, for me MT09SP 2022 is one of the Best ever made Fun Bike, after each Ride you will have for sure Huge Smiles 🙂

[@matthatter93]

OC I haven’t ridden either but they are on the very short list for my next bike next year

The other thing the MT09 has this huge tank which is really annoying in front of you. I've test road one of those and the MT07 just feels much more like a supermoto and without the bulbous tank in ur way. It's a real shame Yamaha didn't make the mt09 tank much lower profile

If you're going off looks.. MT-07 looks much better. MT-09 needs some work.. However, all around package, MT-09 is better.

Heck yes.. if you are in the market and or just want to feel a bike that has all the modern features and still affordable.. definitely go for it. You won't be disappointed. Also, a lot of after market parts are coming out.. you have 3 or 4 exhaust system to choose from. De Pretto Moto, Evo Tech, TST, and even the Chinesium products are out.. if you want to go budget.

You mean overstated; this engine can not be overstated, surely

[@XFauni]

Going to look at a 2020 09 this upcoming week, don't feel the SP is necessary between the little extra displacement, color scheme I don't care for, new display and headlight. All negatives for me. Had a '21 mt-07 last year but sold it in about 3 months (1500 miles bought with 0) because one, it gets boring pretty fast tbh and the headlight just is not it, especially on the 09 it looks heavily out of place and compared to the old 09 headlight reduces night time visibility, at least on the MT-07 that's what I noticed with the cyclops light.

[@Sabahes_ASMR]

I am currently shopping for my next bike. This will be the 2nd bike I've ever owned as a newer rider. My first bike was a 650cc Yamaha xj. I'm looking at the MT-07/XSR700 or the MT-09/XSR900. My question is, does the XSR come with all the goodies the MT-09SP has?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I don't think so, maybe the refresh of the xsr will because this mt09 is pretty new in comparison to the xsr story. I would test ride every bike you listed before making a decision tho

I had a 2014 FZ-09 and wish I never got rid of is. However, I want to know how you got over 40mpg. Yes it’s newer, but I bet the engine is still mostly the same. I could only get 35mpg at best on my 2014. I have ridden an MT-07 also, and for me (I stress, for ME) the 07 is to light. It leaned over to fast and I couldn’t feel and feedback from the front suspension. It actually made me uncomfortable with the lack of feel and I just never had confidence the front end wasn’t going to just wash out from under me at any moment. Between the two, I would buy the 09 hands down. Again, that’s just me personal feelings about the 07, it will be different for everyone.

Little late on this but as a new rider on pavement I’m looking for my first bike. Looking into getting the mt-09 because of my size just being larger than most. Would you recommend it as a first bike? Or am I better off getting the 07 and calling it good?

[@notfred596]

I would personally not recommend the 09 for a first time rider. Now, with dirtbike experience it may he doable.. but if the dirt experience is like 90% of people with "dirtbike experience" (rode a dirtbike twice) then I'd stick to the 07. The 03 is for small very first time riders and females imo, the 07 is manageable.
