I have a 16 that I bought new, Armor Gray with the fancy yellowish wheels. I've owned many sport bikes throughout my life. I came off an R1 and went to the FZ09. I got really tired of the discomfort of sport bikes. I'll tell you even after owning this bike a couple years it still puts a smile on my face. Seat comfort sucks for really long rides until you switch it out. Also, the wind resistance does suck at higher speeds, but everything else is better in my opinion as far as usability and comfort. This bike has a little bit of everything for a reasonable price. It's a really good bang for your buck by far!

That said some riders who have ridden for years are just as mediocre as their first day riding on full licence. Getting your licence is only the first step.

It's an awesome bike! I have the 2018 MT-09, been riding it in `B` and `Standard` modes for the first 3000 km. `A` mode is completely HOOLIGAN, the front wheel just won't stay on the asphalt. Definitely not a bike suitable as your first bike...even if you have ABS, TCS and the B mode. I've had 12k km done on a Honda Hornet as a beginner, now I feel like this MT-09 is ALL you could ever want from a bike. The only problem with this bike is that it has so much torque and lower-mid range power, the front is so light(actually the whole bike feels light as a bicycle) that you are compelled to get to the dark side of just wheelie-ing the shit out of it. :)) As someone mentioned in one of the comments, this bike will turn any average and self-controlling biker into a hooligan. It just does, there is no other way to ride it.

The MT/FZ 09 was making close to 180WHP and that as you know is CARZY POWER for these bikes with standard internals and i was surprised how cheap the kit is at around 2500 US for the mt07.

koofdome I’m 6’4 as well, it’s super comfortable. I pretty much sit with my ass touching the seat strap. I also have the Carmichael protaper bar which is a farther reach than the stock handle bar. My friends still say I make the fz look like a grom

My 1st streetbike was an 02 gsxr1000. I had plenty of experience with dirtbikes but the difference in riding position and power delivery was just insane. I was 20yrs old so i was doing crazy sh$t. I had it for 1 season and lived through it thank God and traded it for a CBR600RR which was the best bike i ever owned. 100hp is enough for me. My 04 z1000 was a keeper too.

Spot on describing this bike!! I had a 2016 blue FZ09 and put a few thousand miles on it,, super light super twitch but like you said at highway speeds no fairings at 100 plus it was too hard to deal with,, besides I like doing sustainable speeds of 120mph on the open road, so sold it with 6k and grabbed a used R6 and love it !!

Was thinking of upgrading my cbr500r to a cbr600rr, but this video might just have changed my mind. The hp increase will take some getting used to but I've been riding the cbr for a few years and I've definitely found it's limits by now. Thanks for this and God bless from your newest subscriber

Look into a cb650r , I had a cbr600rr and my fz09 feels way more powerful with a slight twist of the throttle, but a 600 is different up top, if I could start over again I’d definitely try a cb650. 2cyl, 3cyl, 4cyl all ride differently regardless of the cc size.

R6 3.2 sounds about right. My sv650 would do 0-60 as fast as or faster than a 600. After 60mph though different story..

@@paulnolan6866 Best I got about 3.1 Sec out of my Ninja 650 but due to GPS apps accuracy, lets be conservative and I averaged around 3.3-3.4 I got an S1000XR and that thing regularly cracks 2.8-2.9 on the lower power modes so if someone competent launches an MT-09 I think it'd easily do what i said in my comment 2 years ago :P

161 after i changed my sprockets and ecu flash tune exhaust ect... it felt like i was a flag in a hurricane luckily I am 245 lbs and have a windscreen that does a suprisingly good job of cleaning up the upper air.
