Thank you for the video you put on context, what I was thinking and feeling when I bought the motorcycle. This is my first bike from this type. I jumped from a Stateline 2015 to MT09 2018 😆. I've already purchased the akrapovic exhaust carbon fiber system. Let's see what happens, I'm in love with the MT09 for real, I made a great decision.

[@demolitioneagle-top104]

how is the fuel consumption compare to mt09

[@SportSoulLife]

DemolitionEagle -Top 10 dont know what the 09 does but the MT-10, like ant liter bike, is THIRSTY. Like i can get better fuel consumption in (very economical) cars even if i tried to hypermile the 10. Youll get about 120 miles before feeling the need to refuel out of 4,5 gallon tank. My average fuel consumption is about 33,6 mpg.

[@emanuelruiz7710]

She's a bit of a gas hog. I literally try to crawl my way to 5th gear 😂🤣

[@SportSoulLife]

@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. Positive thing is from 50 mph to 75 mph the difference is only about 43.5 - 37.9 so 5.6 mph. Cruising at 90 mph burns about 34.6 mpg. So once you get above 50 mph (when you can get into 6th gear) the fuel consumption is a tiny bit better and speed doesnt affect it too much. At 90 mph i would actually get worse fuel consumption from my FZ-07. Also the cruise control helps the economy a lot as you wont feel the need to send it as often. Its fuel consumption is absolutley horrible in 1st to 3rd gear, what you will definitely be limited to up to about 35 mph on a flat road. Also i dont see much change in the fuel consumption depending on riding style. You wont be able to push everything its got on the streets without eventually killing yourself. Guess that consumption is mostly used to crank that large engine, so its a very reliable meh fuel consumption outside of the city.

[@SportSoulLife]

@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. The fuel consumption doesnt bother me too much with a gas price of $6.7 - $7 per gallon so i think youll be fine :)

[@thearch1tect249]

I love my MT-10..Who cares as long as we are riding! Stay safe on them filthy streets!!

[@Jeez726]

Also went for the MT09. It’s light, relatively cheap with a great lively engine. A good base to then mod and make how you want it. Here’s my additions. Turbo kit. GPR Steering damper. EBC pads. Brembo RCS master cylinder. Sergeant seat. MRA screen. Pro taper bars. Rizoma mirrors Lithium battery. ABS switch.

[@CycleCruza]

Nice! Did the turbo kit make a big difference for you? That's a super expensive mod to do.

[@Jeez726]

Yes it makes a big difference in power but most noticeably in torque where the triple makes it lower in the rpm. My goal was to have a bike lighter, smaller but with more go than my Gen 1 KTM SDR for short range rides. The acceleration on boost is hard to process especially with traffic. You need to plan what’s ahead! It’s great to have this power in reserve when you want it and it’s addictive but you can also ride around normally off boost. It is expensive but it’s a major mod that makes the bike more special and more fun. If you like to modify, you won’t regret it. Downsides is that you need to spend money on the fueling, brakes, heavier clutch springs, frequent oil changes.....

[@Thelonius_Magee]

Where do you get a turbo kit also does it effect the reliability of this engine

[@Jeez726]

I got it from Extreme Creations in Australia. They have FB and website with all the details. Currently the boost is set at around 8 psi which is ok for the engine. More boost would require opening the engine to replace rods etc. I have been running this kit for two years and ride it to work and back as my daily. Frequent oil changes are important but only takes half hour to do so no big deal.

Honestly, after years of big bikes (Super Duke, Speed Triple, R1), the thought of a cheaper, chill bike (that's still fairly fast) seems incredibly appealing to me.

I'm torn on using the horn to alert drivers. They might think you're telling them to go, or if you're from AZ like me, people always honk at you to go. Them hearing a horn, might make them go, thinking someone is honking at them from behind. I just swerve in my lane to create lateral motion that will catch their eye.

[@DesertMoPho]

I’m in AZ too. I usually just roll off the throttle a bit, wiggle the head light and keep an eye on them.

[@CraigSmith568]

Personally I don't see much difference in the looks between an MT-09 and an MT-10. The MT-10 has cruise control, but it gets worse mileage. $4000 difference retail is the biggest reason. I actually got a 17 FZ-07 and it has great power for every day riding. Planning on adding an intake, exhaust, and tuning. I already modded the front suspension which only cost me a quart of fork oil and some time. Rear suspension is coming.

[@CycleCruza]

This modded mt-09 eats gas now. I filled up at the beginning of my ride and had 0.6 gal left after a 5 hour ride. You can't go wrong with any of the mt bikes. They're all great street bikes.

[@Grigorixi]

Test rode the MT-09 and Street Triple R. Got the Street Triple. Really recommended you do a test ride on one of those CC! Great sounding triple. It does pull in all gears including 6th. Great finishing details. Just simply amazing to ride. Is it really just the head lights that put you off?

[@hubert1142]

Had 2017 mt09, done 16000kms in 2 years. Got 2019 mt10 because it has more quite a bit more power and most importantly stability - done over 30000kms in 2 years. It sort of tells you which one I like more :D Love them both, but mt10 just makes me hard every single time I ride it.

[@danpeoples1000]

@CycleCruza Great content as always! I will be purchasing a 2023 MT10 soon. The added weight and size of the bike (I actually like that for highway riding) PLUS the cross-plane motor (that sound!)are the two main factors that helped me decide. At the end of the day, I really love both of these bikes, just incredible machines. Oh, and the looks of the MT10 really did take me some time to get used to (looks like a transformer almost) but it is actually growing on me more and more.

[@yahtotv5492]

CycleCruza I think you made a good decision. That CP 3 engine on the MT09 is a great engine. That is the great thing about the MT bikes, the CP 2, CP 3, and CP 4 all offer a difference experience and a unique sound. As a person that has owned a MT 09 and owns a MT 10 I prefer the MT 10 because the suspension is premium, it is more comfortable for longer rides, and the cruise control. I have several twisty roads in my area and the MT 10 is a great twisty/track bike. But the kind of riding you mostly do the MT 09 power makes it a far better hooligan bike, town bike, ect. The MT 10 does not like slow speeds/low RPMs. Dont get me wrong I ride my MT 10 around town stuff but I am hardly out of first or second gear. It has a tall 1st gear for a naked bike. While I hope some day you get to experience the MT 10 I think for how you want to ride and what you were looking for right now the MT 09 was the better pick. And if you get an MT 10 in the future dont make the mistake I did and sale the MT 09 before hand. I miss my MT 09 simply because it is a different feel from the MT 10. The only problem I had with the MT 09 was the rear shock. Other than that it was a great bike. I should have kept my MT 09, but something you already know and experienced. Not enough room in the garage. Lol Not that I need anymore bikes or another MT 10, but I seen where reports coming out of Japan is that the 2021 MT 10 is getting huge upgrades finally. Looks are pretty much the same but some fairings added around the front half of the engine. Not a lot of details as of yet as to what all has been done to the engine, but it is getting a turbo added to it. Saying 200 BHP now. If that is the case Yamaha will need to give the MT 10 basically the R1 electronics. Yamaha will need to upgrade the master cylinder as well. That is the only problem I have with the MT 10. It is not a radial MC. It is a cheap upgrade and problem solved.

[@rjmoto69]

I just bought a 17 FZ10 for $8000 with 2k miles and after decatting and getting aftermarket exhaust and deleting smog systems it feels lighter then my old R6 when riding (obviously feels heavy under 20mph in traffic). Suspension is perfect after tuning for my weight and brakes are also super strong and bite hard (maybe since I am lighter than most riders at 150lbs) , way better than I am used to at least compared to all of the 600cc sportbikes, adventure bikes, and naked bikes I've had. Looks are subjective but I love how different it is compared to all the other bikes and how aggressive and mean looking it is in person, where with the MT09 I feel like the front doesnt match the side of the bike and it looks incomplete (opinion of course). FZ/MT10 is a head turner and that crossplane 4 is such a good sound. I think the biggest difference is that the FZ10 is the more do-it-all bike; it can be a sport touring/daily with saddlebags and a windscreen, hoon bike to do dank wheelies and have fun without ridiculous speeding , or weekend canyon carver/track bike if you're brave enough. The electronics (especially cruise control),suspension and power are worth it to me especially since I paid basically msrp for a mt09. I will not need another bike for many years until I start going to the track more seriously and if I had gotten the FZ/MT09 I know I would've regretted it but different strokes for different folks I guess.

Its my first brand new bike so i didnt want to settle for the 09 since i plan on keeping the bike for a long long time. But yeah any MT bike is a great bike, my 10 gets about 30mpg which is cheeks but its not about the miles per gallon its about the smiles per gallon.

CC the looks were the main reason I chose the MT09 over the 10. I'm glad you are enjoying the bike man!

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

Patrick 4777 lol they are both ugly, looks was the last thing on my mind when buying an MT

[@Patrick-zs2jy]

@@AlexanderTheGrateful Lol. Well for me the 09 looked better than the 10. I just wanted something faster than my Drz at the time and the 09 seemed like a pretty good overall step up. Anything on the street would be a step up from the Drz on the street.

[@scruffy01100000]

Bruh, how in the world can you say the MT10 isn’t leaps and bounds above a MT09? I don’t care that you don’t care about $, but stop lying to folks man. I own the the 10, and you said in your video that you don’t even know about the 10 suspension, so you don’t even know it has an R1 suspension. Everyone- please do some research this dude is admittedly full of BS if he doesn’t even understand the massive difference in suspension alone 😆 Source: Best friend owns the 09 and always insists on bike swapping and I hate every second I’m on it but I’m a good friend so I let him ride the better bike (10).

[@AQS521]

All my friends ride MTs. They’re great bikes! I like the sound of the two cylinder 07 the most though.

[@CycleCruza]

I didn't think I would like the sound of the triple that much but was surprised at how great it sounds with a full akra exhaust. MT-07 sounds great too, mt-10 as well. All three mt bikes are cool.

[@chincemagnet]

You probably oughta mention if you’re looking at the MT10, the insurance rates are much higher than the MT09. MT09 is relatively cheap to insure. I was going to buy an MT10 until I quoted the insurance, at least 3x the cost to insure an MT09.

i started on an mt09. got a sweet deal on a 2020 ex demo. its amazing i love it. i havent modded it yet though its plenty fast enough for me so far.

[@Mayjay87]

Johnny 5 is my guy! I really think both bikes look the same. I'm 99% sold on an XSR700 or MT07. Love the sound.

[@luisvalentin8871]

Coming from Harleys is it going to be a huge difference going to the MT series bikes? Yeah I’ve got 100+ foot lbs in my 114 but it’s 625lbs in weight

[@hotcar103098]

Hey CycleCruza I have a 2019 tracer 900. Very similar power train just a larger sport touring bike. I really wanna do an exhaust and ecu flash (just from you explaining the power) However an exhaust system is well over 1,000$. Any Systems for a biker on a budget?

You can't see the headlight from the seat. only down fall of the mt 10 is fuel mileage.

[@9999plato]

I used to have a GSXR1000, I rarely cracked 9K. I didn't need it. It was stupid fast by the time it got on the pipe in the midrange. The 9 would be fine. You can borrow that line Cycle Cruza.

SC I wanna pull that sticker off the top of the tank so bad! Glad you are happy with the09. Stay safe.

[@itachi5483]

[@CycleCruza]

I HATE those warning stickers. My former Aprilia Tuono had like 8 warning stickers and the one on the tank left a mark after I removed it. I was so pissed off.

[@uroshs.4855]

@@CycleCruza did you try heat gun/ hair dryer. Once you heat up the sticker it's much easier to remove and if it leaves some residue clean it off with isopropyl alcohol.

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

Just wait till you see the new MT10 gen2 they are releasing in 2022!! Hopefully there will be no delays on production due to the corona epidemic as they are still very early in the design phase. This information comes from a very credible source! You heard it here first!

[@sh60guy25]

I want a Tuono V4 myself but like you I do not trust the reliability. So I am looking at the MT-10SP. But also like you I do not like the headlights. So I am waiting to see what the 25's look like if they change the MT10.

[@faridb40]

Cruza, I have the privilege of choosing the BMW F900r. I originally was going to get the MT09 but for the same money I got the BMW. I'm still waiting on delivery by this week and honestly cant wait!

[@homehome6739]

Cycle cruzaaaaa, the mt10 has more grunt off the line than the 09.

[@hnic72]

It has more grunt/power everywhere.. The mt09 is a fun bike but its nothing special especially if one ever faces the day that they decide to sell.. Good Lord, there are what seems like hundreds of them for sale..

[@pbesty]

[@jorgefvargas7029]

He started commenting on why I’m so happy with my MT-10 hahaha. As he ride and spoke about the MT-09 and went down his list I was falling more for my bike 😊. Good video to confirm why MT-10 rules if you have the experience tho

[@andrewcarroll1910]

MT-09 all day!!!! More versatility. Like the way the 10 looks though. Looking mean as hell! But love throwing the MT-09 around and feels more comfortable weaving through traffic.

[@TzeiEm]

You didn't mention that the MT10 is also super thirsty and gets very poor mileage compared to pretty much any bike. MT09 consumes probably 2/3 of the fuel the the MT10 does.

[@Panotaker]

Next week, why I sold the MT9 and got the MT10! Two weeks after that, why I sold the MT10 and finally got an FJR1300!

[@motorcyclemichael2182]

Id like an fjr...they need an update though and to drop some lbs.

[@Panotaker]

@@motorcyclemichael2182 You have to ride a sport bike like a maniac to loose an FJR. It's a little heavy, but everything else makes up for it.

[@thinknumbers7718]

Can’t you change the robot lights with some after market on the MT-10?

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

Think Numbers is it really that bad? Lol You know you can’t see the headlights while riding? Thanks goodness

[@julzgalang]

Before you talk smack about the mt-10 just make sure you try it first. Just like you talking shit about the 09 and buying it afterwards. I’ve had the 09 and got the 10 and I’m telling you its better in every way besides the gas consumption. Just try the damn bike man before talking smack.

[@luisdetomaso2224]

I looked at both MT09 and MT10 but went with the MT10 because it's based on better technology all around from the R1. The MT10 suspension is world class and fully adjustible. The MT09 suspension belongs in the trash. Then for what you've paid for Ohlins (or whatever) to fix the MT09, you could have just bought the MT10

[@gaylordbuttdick5405]

Damn after test riding a z900, wish you got that instead. Throttle is buttery smooth stock. Your bike tho and mt-09 is still sweet.

[@CycleCruza]

The MT-09 throttle is way better now with the flash. I did not get the z900 because I wanted to try to triple engine for change. I've already owned a few inline 4 bikes. The Z900 is a great bike though.

I love the MT10 but the milage sucks. You will have to fill up every 120 miles. YAMAHA but a smaller fuel tank on the MT10 VS the R1. About 1.5 gallons smaller.

[@MT-09_SP]

I got myself an MT-09 SP as a first bike simply because that's the bike I wanted. Looks, sound, riding position, everything. Love it.

[@donaldlemens9254]

They both pretty much such in the looks department, what's up with the off set Speedo? They trying to be Triump? Always if your experienced go for the ccs, I'm experienced too CC but the grunt always wins in my book, no need to rev out to get it and is less wear and tear on the motor.

[@TheAndriyan]

mt-O9 has long stroke engine, less engine oil, low rpm max torqe, longer trevel suspension, and less weight compare to mt-10.

[@JohnDoe_75]

Ironically being a 5'6 guy who mostly had liter sports bikes since 1999 but now wanting something more comfortable the MT10 feels better to me because of the lower seat height compared to the mt-09. On the other hand I actually don't like the excess power of the MT10 since its not really needed on a naked bike unless you like the wind smashing your chest.
