VLOG - Yamaha MT-09 (FZ-09) In Depth Review

The time as come, my new ride has arrived! One of the first in Australia!
Everyone say hello to the Yamaha MT-09 (FZ-09)

[@leonardotaggio6995]

Bought this bike last week. No bike for 6 years. So scared when I picked it up. boy I love it!! The more I ride it the more I fall in love with her. You need top get this bike. One word for this bike. Beautiful!!!

[@Guitargazza1]

thanks for this review Im picking one up tomorrow did a test ride myself but great to have it all here to go over again nice work

[@stewie65au]

great review, taking one for a test ride tomorrow can't wait.

[@Blahde]

Mate, same colour as my Test Ride Bike. I did a vid as it happens :-) I had ALL the upgrades, cept the Braided lines and the Akro that is available. I loved it...SO MUCH! Seat has ...Erm, slight issues..It's freakin UNCOMFORTABLE is what it is :-) But, they already do a replacement seat and the Torque is AMAZING!! I mean I loved the Torque, that is what this bike delivers. Mate, I never had the rear wheel jitters, not at all!! This bike will (it should) make Yammy a heap of Profit. The price is VERY competitive!! I want one, so BAD!!! Envious! Nicely done, aint she fun! :-) And I agree, the rear is VERY good!!

[@nakedlondonbiker]

Well done with your purchase, mate! Welcome to the club :) I have the orange one too and loving every bit of it. Funny enough had a similar experience as you with having to take it home in rain and since then, for the last 2 weeks I've owned it, it's been raining more than it's been dry. Annoying but makes the wait for the summer so much sweeter! Looking forward to your followup to see what you think about it!

[@Ausmodica]

Nice ride, mate. Looking good.

[@kingkole02]

Very good review. Full in depth and I test rode this bike yet learned features the dealer didn't know. The MPG tracker is a good thing to watch and track which is cool. I rode in STD mode and I was fine with the power but been riding for quite sometime so I can control my wrist.

[@MegaBigboost]

Great review, great bike from your friends in Trinidad and Tobago

[@Punchypax]

Great review!

[@6WheeledGirl]

I want one! Great vid!

[@rechelmet]

finally a good mt09 review. Great stuff mate. ;)

[@ryanhudson7443]

I've had the exact same bike! Nice review great vlog! Subscribed ;)

[@jiiibbeen]

I have this orange one (sweden) costs around 79000 swedish crowns (8000 euro) the US seems to have the most colors but the orange looks cool irl! i love it and its definitely worth the money!

[@seisemograph]

omg thats the car park i learnt to drive lol. behind caribbean gardens :) and sick bike man. so jelly

[@jeffandrachgmail]

Dude......pulling cleanly from down low doesnt mean rolling along with no throttle, they are talking about the fact that from 2k rpm it has major torque pull and it is very linear......i.e a very flat torque curve. It "pulls cleanly" pretty much right from idle with a very smooth progressive motion all the way through to peak power rpm's, with no noticeable flat spots or hiccups. In other words, it pulls cleanly from down low under acceleration, not rolls cleanly without throttle. Smoothest fuelling bike I have ever ridden IMO.

[@Jedijac5]

Good video mate. You ride same roads as me. Nice bike, I'm researching them now, I'm wanting to go naked sports from supersports (gixxer 1000), and this looks like it will put a smile on my face. Subbed.

[@e812008]

Nice Video und an Nice Bike.Thank you from Germany

[@industrialkhaos]

Good review. I rode the Daytona, Speed and street triple at a recent Triumph ride day and the only other bike to put them against is the MT-09. Value for money and bang for the buck the Yamaha may be the one.

[@AwesomePossumChanel]

Subscribed! Love the bike.

[@pipboychronicles]

Welcome :)

[@650GSF]

it does look good they will sell well in the UK I was at my local dealer at the weekend and they had three in which instantly sold. he said they are also making an MT 07, going to be a 700cc twin which he said is going to be priced around 5K so that would probably sell really well just on price.

[@QuickSiR]

Thanks for the video.

[@wallen0000000001]

Love that color.

[@tref101]

thx for post.best the road ahead with her. Have a great 2014!

[@TheRealPDaveTH]

Great review mate, considering one of these for my next bike. Seems there's been some updates but still good to see what you had to say! You think that seat is hard? Try an MV Brutale 800 :P

[@CurryRiderSP]

Love these bike :)

[@AKaliforniaKing]

Nice. Good video.

[@johnnyViDeO]

Fun bike with a nasty snarl. But I'm waiting for ABS and hopefully an adventure version to replace my V-Strom. Carry on.

[@franco25003]

Good review man! Do you recomend this bike for a newbie? I mean I had other bikes but not that powerful...

[@TheXhosa]

I see that people always compare this bike with Street Triple. Street Triple is in another class bro :) It's not all about the bigger engine but the motorcycle as a whole . Street Triple is intended for the street as the name of the bike says meaning that you have more than enough power to play with while riding in an almost perfect body. MT09 as you said it is all about the engine while Street Triple is all about everything that it can do on the streets from the chassis to the engine everything is blended almost perfectly if you know what I mean. At least I respect your review for not being a biased one. Keep up the good job keep it safe and enjoy your ride !

[@Benno828282]

Pity it's so damn fugly..

[@swolemountain5346]

Sorry but in every respect this bike is lighter, more powerful and cheaper than the street triple. I think your the biased one...

[@TheXhosa]

Sorry but before calling me biased read the WHOLE WORLD WIDE WEB about that and it would be even better to test BOTH bikes by YOURSELF.

[@paulcherry9255]

I found it a bit juddery in first through low revs too, was a bit unnerving at first but the test ride was an absolute blast other then that.

[@sda5150]

Looks like your out near the Caribbean Gardens in Scorseby! and the BP near Eastlink

[@Rabennase3]

nice review! Very informativ. I'm about to replace me trustry FZS 600 which served me for about 11 years. seams to be the wright replacement. One question: You have the stock sheat right? Greetings from germany

[@decemberferret]

got mine an hour go, it's unreal (unfortunately i could only take it for a 20 min ride) - will smash it in the morning :D

[@kingkole02]

And to note most bikes have an issues starting in cold weather, damp, and after sitting for a while.

[@surg23]

Going to test ride this thing on tuesday, but I'm not sure if the power will be enough. 115hp @ 188kg seems a bit timid. Though this would easily smoke a Ducati Hypermoto, which is really not all that impressive since the hyper is a fat slug. Failing that I guess it's the MT10.

[@omnapp9]

Would you recommend buying a 2014 model with 48000 km on it..... will it still be fresh....or unwise buy. 20 6 2021

[@jeffrt3893]

Curious... How does the bike feel now that you have it broken in?

[@tbirdsteve1]

funny to watch you riding around my area, I practised on my L's around those factories

[@pipboychronicles]

I never really played around there until the MT-09. Good place to practice though!

[@appymarley]

We only get four colours in the uk..orange..which is the best i think..a dull matt grey...a shiney grey..& a kind of purple which looks black..costs 6700 sterling not sure how that compares with you aussies

[@RY5LV8]

Nice bike. What's the retail on one of those?

[@MegaChad29]

Where is the industrial park at the start of the video? Looks like a nice quiet place to practice wheelies.

[@pipboychronicles]

Area around Caribbean Gardens :)

[@davidellis5964]

A rear spring will not sort the suspension out on the MT-09. the front and rear both need work, may be a new rear shock with preload and damping and a new set of front springs. don't get me wrong its a nice bike for the money, but the engine is to much for the cheap suspension

[@nitemunky76]

Grats on your new ride. Great motor. How are you finding the "budget" suspension?

[@pipboychronicles]

The suspension needs work, but you have plenty of money left over compared to a Street Triple R to get it perfect :)

[@nitemunky76]

pipboychronicles True. I have the same issue with my Kawasaki Z750 - over-sprung and under-damped stock suspension and crap brakes. Operation Brembo has just begun...

[@564Alanguiver]

styling is a bit "friday afternoon close to knock off" on the rear end hey...

[@marktopliss8132]

just put depo down cannot wait

[@rohitalexander]

How tall are you?

[@Dazhimself]

too much camera moving for me, giving me a head ache haha.. try a bike mount for the camera next time :)

[@mistery836]

hmmm... you should really check your camera it seems to blur out your speedo when you accelerate ;p

[@davidellis5964]

took one out for a test ride here in the UK, great engine loads of torque, but the suspension is crap to soft and fuel injection is rough. Its cheap for a reason. I shall be keeping my Aprilia Tuono v twin i think.

[@jordangalan1946]

The snatchy fuelling has been fixed in the 2015 model. Not to mention $200 for a new rear spring and you're set. Such a good engine in this bike

[@hooliganconcepts5052]

Jordan Galan That $200 new spring is going to be very difficult to put in even for a experienced mechanic. good luck.

[@firstavailablename]

David Ellis Mate, definitely keep your Tuono... or sell it and buy 2 MT-09's... Whatever... One guarantee is that all MT-09 owners have at least as much fun as you on their bikes with the added bonus of having $11000aud spare for a computer, tv, tablet, new mobile phone, front lawn, rear extension and patio on the house... Hope the Tuono is THAT much more fun LOL

[@davidellis5964]

i purchased my tuono second-hand 05 plate for £2.500.00 well cheap. 3 owners and 17000 miles on the clock fsh, with extra's. Aprilia's for some reason don't hold there price well. so its bargain time. do you math i think you have it wrong some how

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

David Ellis Hasn't the fuel injection been sorted out with a new fuel map?

[@soobeng]

Cobber, you comment like a pro. i give you that.

[@IamIronMan]

That's unfortunate to see your camera malfunction at 12:41 ;)

[@pipboychronicles]

Dam pixelated bugs stuck on the lens, forgot to clean it :)

[@IamIronMan]

On a completely unrelated topic, what editing software do you use?

[@pipboychronicles]

I am Iron Man Final Cut Pro - Its not the best though, lacks blur tracking etc which is a real pain, hoping for something good from the new version due in a couple of weeks :)

[@IamIronMan]

Yeah I think you need to buy motion tracking in a separate package or something. I was looking at FCP the other day and there's a couple of packages you can buy for it, have a look on the Apple App Store

[@pipboychronicles]

I am Iron Man Yeah I tried a few plugins however the on the fly rendering runs ridiculously slow in FCP with them so I'm hoping the new update supports better graphics card rendering. I have another plan for my next video anyway which I am hoping works as it will save editing stuff :)

[@Herzankerkreuz67]

I just want to say that this bike costs a lot more in Costa Rica where I live...., want to know how much.... hold on to your seats... you have to pay a terrible 16.000 $US to get this bike .....unbelievable..

[@byronrivera8585]

Don´t forget the MT-07, 12,700 $US (introduction price) 6,995 $ US in the U.S. too expensive and really sad.

[@luisrodriguezbikelife2776]

In Ecuador costs 19000 usd all bikes are terrible spemsive but still I bough it and I love it

[@xcamaleao]

The price has to be with the taxes of the country!!! In portugal the MT09 is 7,990€. The euro coin is just a litle bit more expensive than the dolar, norhing to much. The MT09 is really expensive there, sorry mate, glad i borned in Portugal!!! ;p. :))))) BTW the colors are orange, matte grey, black and some kin of violet!!!!

[@ripmax333]

Lucky you live in portugal, in malta the MT-09 costs 9000 euros!

[@mistery836]

ripmax333 HA! we win! in the Netherlands is costs €9500,- . They love taxes in the Netherlands :'(

[@Wmoore1]

This was my first bike. Dropped the bitch. It is a forgiving bike. Nothing broke, case only got minor scratches. Wouldn't recommend it for the average Joe noob starting out who has zero self control, though. I dropped it coming to a stop, so it wasn't an actual moving error as much as it was applying too much front brake while nervous. I tend to be a bit responsible and don't much like paying for tickets so I've taken the bike easy. Given a day on it, however, I feel incredibly comfortable and have definitely gotten very used to it. To each their own, but for a first bike, this will scare the actual shit out of you. No doubt about it.

[@richardx4456]

+pipboychronicles good review! 23:42 :)

[@jimjames8234]

What your doing to the engine at low revs is called "bogging" and it is a Very bad thing to do to a motor that hasn't been run in. The reason that bogging is bad as I understand it is because it over stresses the drive train : from the con rods all the way thru the transmission. It can also over heat the engine as it doesn't move enough oil thru the engine at those basement revs to protect the metal in your cylinders . Just sayin.. does anyone else know why thats bad? nice review tho and thanx!

[@evilet1111]

Agreed.. Why operate it at that low rpm?

[@pipboychronicles]

Chris Evernden I break in engines by running them like I normally would. Get them up to temperature then run the revs up and down with varying load levels. Manual break in guidelines are designed so manufacturers cant be held liable when someone bins their bike in the first 20 minutes. If you baby an engine from new then it will always be a lazy motor. I also did no bog down the engine, i was running it at idle speed in first gear to see how it would pull in crawling traffic with the clutch out.

[@AridersLifeYT]

bullshit, jim james. Engine wear in procedures are advised by the manufacturer so no one goes crazy and crash's the bike. Family friends are Factory rider for yamaha and he told me that it says so for legal reasons only.

[@pipboychronicles]

Yup its nothing more than stopping people from binning their bikes, I run all my engines hard when they are new after 50-100km. Dump the oil around 200km

[@AridersLifeYT]

pipboychronicles yeah thats what i do 1st or 2nd tank of fuel = new oil

[@ALEXELY925]

Hey my friend in California just got the same bike! check out MRJD410

[@MultiMates7]

im lossing my vision oi canr see good anymore =["""

[@painteddog10]

good vlog but this is my main gripe. why is it the in the US the have more colours for the bike and a low price of just $7990.00 against $11450.00 in AUSTRALIA plus all we get is a muddy black and a muddy dark blue and the orange. are we just a dumping ground for the colours that the rest of the world doesn't want? and whats with the price? do the US base their price on volume and AUSTRALIA on how much they can screw out of the public? or are the AUSTRALIAN dealers just too greedy?

[@Winny561]

there was a comment on another video addressing this and I think it is a perfect answer to your question, long story short from what I understand Australian companies that distribute motorcycles barely have competition, therefore the consumers there are forced to buy at whatever price they decide. As for the colors I don't really know.

[@pipboychronicles]

michael mouse It is commonly known as the "Australia Tax" we get ripped off on everything. Not only that, the US always get things before us aswell :(

[@MrDLRu]

pipboychronicles You forgot to mention that we can mount machine guns to your motorbikes too....; )

[@davidellis5964]

Motorcycle are quiet expensive in Australia and Asia, Uk is cheaper, America is the cheapest market its probably volume sales, UK Bikers use to buy Europe imports, i purchased my Aprilia that way. saved about £2000.00, but the pound is quiet strong against the Euro now.

[@alaqsaretowijaya3744]

michael mouse It's not really bad compared to Indonesia. Above 250 CC bike and 2 litre and above on car, we get 125 % Tax, TOTAL RIPOFF ! If i buy one, with the same amount of money i can get 2 same bikes in other country.In indonesia 2014 Yamaha R1 is Rp. 345.000.000 or US$ 26.600. with US$ 26.000 and add around 5000 more, you can get 2 BRAND NEW 2015 R1

[@patriksmiles536]

23:42 That's cause you drive on the wrong side..... J/K

[@pipboychronicles]

I cant help it that Australia is a backwards country :)

[@patriksmiles536]

Backward or no, it's on my bucket list.

[@enisidor5964]

Why talk trash? I had to stop watching.

[@johnnyViDeO]

Fun bike with a nasty snarl. But I'm waiting for ABS and hopefully an adventure version to replace my V-Strom. Carry on.
