Yamaha MT-07 vs. MT-09 / First Ride & Review

Take a ride with me as I take out the new Yamaha Mt-07 and the Yamaha Mt-09 for a rip. This will be my first ride on both of the bikes, hopefully to gain an appreciation for each bike and what its capabilities, best attributes are for a rider looking at either of these two models.

I really enjoyed this review. I actually ended up getting the MT 09, (exact same model you rode) and your review is SPOT ON. I really appreciate your honesty, especially when you say the bike intimidates you - ME TOO! I LOVE THIS BIKE, but you have to respect the bike. This bike is not a beginner bike, really scratch my head when I read the "experts" say that it "could be" for beginners. Again, thanks for the review!

I will say this this is a really good honest side by side comparison and review. I actually just bought a 2019 mt-09 that looks just like that one with about $2,000 worth of modifications done to it. And I bought it sight unseen not knowing anything about the bike I saw it and said I have to have it. I don't regret it one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden and tons of power there whenever you want it. Good job on the man.

[@miguelmarcos3588]

Hell yeah! Thats why i love my MTO9! Quick response smooth handling! Quick shifter is awesome too! Its a bike to keep!

[@SkylerStutzman]

I’m jealous you own one, and I do not. 🤣

[@ObnoxiousCamoToe]

Just rolled 4,400 on my 2018 MT-07. I love this bike! When the FZ-07 first launched I was smitten by them. I'm a Yamaha guy and started on a 2013 XT250. I put 27,000 miles on that bike and now my brother uses it to commute in New Orleans. R1's are my dream bike, with the MT-07 being a strong second. Before I bought my MT, I put something like 20,000 miles on a 2007 GSXR-600 I bought from a close friend. Two valves burnt out, I bought my best friend's 2012 Ninja 250 and it broke down shortly after I got it running again. So I went and bought Misty. I haven't regretted it. I sped a lot on the GSXR, and Misty has power that you an actually use without being way up in the rev range. I personally haven't had any complaints about the handlebars being narrow, and the bike is just all around a good time. The 09's are tempting, but even on the 07's the front will effortlessly come up accelerating half-full throttle from a standstill.

[@SkylerStutzman]

I think the 07 is most likely the best all around bike for not getting into trouble, I personally would have to change out the bars but aside from that I think especially for the price you can buy a bike that is better. The 09 being tempting that is has just a few extras. It would be a hard choice for sure.

[@ali.mo24]

@@SkylerStutzman how much different in money between them ?

[@nathanhale7001]

My pearl white 2018 MT-07 is the best bike I have owned out of 24 (I'm 62). I got it for $7,524 OTD. Initially, I felt the bars were too narrow. After 1,000 miles, the bars now feel normal and I like them. The horn is very poorly placed. The engine is a marvel. It has torque everywhere and is smooth. I usually ride backroads at 65 MPH and for that speed, the bike is perfect. At 5,000 RPMs the speedometer indicates 72 MPH and at 6,000 RPMs, 84 MPH. I took a test ride on the MT-09 and turned around after 1/4 mile and brought it back to the dealer. It was too twitchy for me. The MT-07 has 12.13 and 107.70 quarter mile times which are quicker and faster than my 1975 Kawasaki Z-1 times of 12.37 at 107.39 which was called "The fastest production vehicle in the world" by a bike magazine. I average 58 MPG. The handling and braking are amazing. The gearbox produces solid but smooth shifts. The bike only weighs 403 lbs. wet. Yamaha was recently noted as the best built brand. If you are looking for a back road blaster which can still do short highway trips, the MT-07 is hard to beat for the price.

[@SkylerStutzman]

This is solid amazing information from someone who has spent much more time on motorcycles than I have. Thank you for sharing. Awesome to hear all this.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you for your input here. Much appreciated sir. 🤙🏼

[@Stringtheticharmony]

I've had the mt-07 for a long period, after switching to the mt-09 I wouldn't ever go back to the mt-07. Sure mt-07 is a good bike, but the power is amazing on the mt-09, and once you learn to control it the throttle gets smoothed out. Completely wrecks almost everything with its torque. I learned on the mt-07 as a first bike and wouldn't ever recommend the mt-09 to a newbie, with the amount stuff that happened to me during the first year of ridding, the mt-07 was extremely more forgiving than the mt-09 would of been.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you for the info. Appreciated 🤙🏼

[@HEATER_]

I own a 2016 FZ09 (no frills). I'm 5',7" 150 lbs. and can flat foot it no problem. Experienced rider so I bought it to commute. YES...START OUT IN B MODE!!! (Which is also GREAT when you get caught out in the rain!) Then I graduated to Standard mode (my daily choice). But the wind was kicking my ass so I put on a factory tall screen and SW Motech bags (So trick, she's naked again in less than 5 min). I call it Clark Kent configuration. Under all that "crap" is still an FZ09! After 2 1/2 years of owning her I almost forgot she had A mode! Two and a half years later I had a bike with a new personality rarely explored. Ummm, save A mode for the track! (BIG SMILE) This bike keeps on giving. Solid choice for an experienced rider/commuter.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Glad to hear you are happy with your decision in bike!

[@travissearles23]

My 2019 Yamaha MT-07 is just fine for an experienced 50 yr old rider who formerly had a 2000 Kawasaki ZX-12 Ninja. Obviously not as fast but it's light and comfortable doing stand up wheelies through 3rd gear on i-25 in Denver, Co! Lol

[@SkylerStutzman]

Love it

[@broncosgjn]

"This bike has way more power than anyone needs." "You really have to grow into this power." "B mode is fine for me." Wow an honest reviewer. I have had an MT 09 for 5 months. Those comments are exactly correct Skyler . I have been riding for 40 years and have had 900 Triumph Triples but this thing is angry. Other reviewers have raved about the power n light weight and quick throttle response but let me tell you unless you are racing it is very tiring to keep the thing legal and stop it trying to climb over the back of the other vehicles. B mode is far more relaxing and suited to any riding than Normal or A mode. I call it pussy mode but really that is fine. It is silky smooth and you do not have to be always readjusting throttle on any bump and spending brain cells on your throttle position. Sometimes instant torquey power in any gear is just tiring not fun. Good review.

[@SkylerStutzman]

I just bought that mt09 in ice fluo. First ride home was 70 miles on a free way with little bit of rain. Even with the rain, it was one of the best rides i have had. . I came from gsxr 600 and 750 and I wish I would have bought this type of bike all along. Sport bike are fun for quick blasts, but this bike is a lifetime of fun.

[@davexs]

MT07 bars are perfect for traffic filtering and lane splitting. Just have to put marginally more pressure on the bars in high speed cornering, good compromise in my opinion. The only similarity between the 2 bikes is the Yamaha badge and both bring out the hooligan in all of us!!!

Got a 2016 mt09 with Akrapovic zorst, ECU flash and a bunch of other stuff on it. It’s a beast, been riding for over 30 years and owned bigger engined more powerful bikes, but the 09 is an absolute hoot! Spent 4 years as a motorcycle courier, so done some seriously big miles on bikes, and still have to say that the 09 is a peach!

[@SkylerStutzman]

Having only ridden supersports in the past, What the 07 and 09 Offer is quite incredible.

[@vthuffer01]

I owned a 2016 FZ-07. Numerous mods and ECU flash. Even tracked it a little. Bought an MT-09 2 weeks before Xmas (2018 model) and have never looked back. The 09 is everything the 07 wished it could be. And it still fits shorter people. ALL the power you need. Currently waiting for my forks to come back with the K-tech cartridges fitted (matching K-Tech shock in the back), then I'll be headed to the track to wring the girls neck :-) If you're a newer rider the 07 is a perfect bike. Excellent value/performance for what you get. I honestly enjoyed your video. It was informative and seemed really sincere. Good work!

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you for the input!

[@MrFastping]

Nice comparison! I tried both bikes too and completely agree with your opinion, the MT09 is a keeper, especially with all the improvements in the 2017 model i.e. more manageable engine output, ABS, slipper clutch and traction control.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you for the kind compliment

[@SirMountainpass]

MT09: Lose some weight (- 8 kgs with a few mods) and have it properly tuned (flash, fuelling) and see the bike transformed😎🏁🏁

[@pudsboi5203]

I had to decide between this and the mt10 and I chose the 09 (sp version) just because it’s more useful on the street and it wheelies real nice and balanced. The 10 was a bit much and the 07 not enough. I’ve come from litre sports bikes but I was faster round brands hatch (uk) on the 09. I won’t go back to sports bikes now because the nakeds that are coming out are superb

I bought that mt 09 3 months ago now and while it is an insane amount of power, with traction control and the different riding modes it makes it a lot more approachable and easier to manage.

Wind starts being an issue at 75 mph + the small windshield of the mt 10 makes a big difference so if you got something for the mt 09, even that small it will help and also complete the look.

I had an FZ-07 and moved up to an FZ-09 (2017 before they switched the name). The 09 is just a much more refined bike. I feel much more confident on it - it’s much more comfortable, even though I’m only 5’4” and had to have it lowered. Definitely worth the extra money.

[@jerryp1392]

I just got the mt09. Havent revved it much over 6000 rpm yet. I had an accident with my 2016 fz07. Loved that bike, but he handlebars had to go. Being into mtb's i was looking at front shock inserts for it as well. Feels cheap in the front. Sounds like a mad harley when you put a full exhaust on thoe. Fz07 is fun, but a pig after 80mph. I got smoked by a cobra mustang. Both bikes feel similiar, but the front shocks are better on the 09. Just fyi, and im drinking.

[@statefarmkid]

Fz09 is amazing love Mine.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Would love to own one

[@ifrit35]

I've owned 2 Mt07 since 2014 and tested a variety of motorcycles since then. Haven't found one that fits me better. Now that you mention the handlebars it may have something to do with that. I have a small frame so, it makes sense. The gsx-s 750 was also very good.

[@SuperLEEEDWARDS]

Hi bro, I recently took out all 3 in the UK MT07,MT09, MT10 and all I will say is what you said and the MT07 I found the bars way to close the MT09 was soo much more but the MT10 is basically an naked R1 it’s soo powerful I hardly got out of 4th /////5th-6th would make it a very good tourer OR an crazy persons animal which would definitely surprise most litre sports bikes great review by the way SCOOBS UK.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you so kindly. 🤙🏼

[@nigelbollocks4850]

The narrow bars are much better for city driving which is where the MT-03 and MT-07 really excel. You probably don't want wider bars unless you're going to do mostly highway driving and don't want to lane-split. Great video.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you very much, I appreciate that very much. Please share and recommend it if you enjoyed it, every bit helps! Thanks again!

[@DouglasKnudsen]

Just sold my fz 07. Great fun for a year, the torque is like a drug, highly addictive! Wheelies in 3rd easily and the akrapovic carbon made it growl. I upped to a stripple though 🤓

[@SkylerStutzman]

How has it been since you have upgraded.

[@DouglasKnudsen]

@@SkylerStutzman most awesome! More power and much more refined. The TFT dash is incredible. I disliked the location of the fz 07 dash. The 09 is better located. I would maybe have gone for a Mt 09 SP, but they don't sell them state-side

[@SkylerStutzman]

That’s funny because I honestly liked the 07 Dash better. Both are great but I liked the one being centered. Lol

[@DouglasKnudsen]

It's not the centering I had issue with, it was being mounted in front of the handlebars. I always had to adjust my focus to check my speed or such.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Fair enough, I did not have enough time on either of them to run into full issues each of them might present.

[@ssbbmoto]

A wider bar makes a world of difference on the FZ-07. Pick up a set of 1-1/8 protapers with whatever rise you prefer and protaper brand 7/8" to 1-1/8" adapters so you don't need a cross bar and enjoy, its a completely different bike for the better.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Yea as soon as I got on the MT-09 I quickly realized that would be a must for the My-07. I would like to give the Mt-07 another fair shake down knowing a little more about the bikes now than I did.

[@fingerscrossed2317]

[@kremlinfuize]

Do they not come with standard mode in the US? I have a 2018 MT-09 (black) and most of my time is spent in standard, B is really only used in heavy rain, A when getting stuck into it. I went up from the MT-03 (321 CC) so it was a big step up, first few days were spent in B mode to get used to it a bit before swapping modes.

[@SkylerStutzman]

It’s has all three modes as the European model.

[@RobplusPiper]

Also bro, I own the 2018 MT-09. It’s the most fun thing to ride ever! It was my first road bike. I started out in B Mode, and now A Mode is second nature, but respect it, it is a torque monster! Great video btw

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you kindly, the MT-09 seems like an amazing bike to own. It would be fun to compare it to some other motorcycles.

[@RobplusPiper]

You definitely should. In fact I compared to about 20 different cruisers before I bought it. I realized that I want fun over lay-z-boy comfort. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, other than the new R1, lol

[@SkylerStutzman]

Idk about the R1 though. You would be sacrificing a lot of “fun” for a pure race bike at that point. A beautiful machine, but really only proposes one thing. And that’s to yank its neck every straight stretch you see.

[@RobplusPiper]

I can’t argue with that. That’s exactly why I bought the MT-09.. it does everything! I’m about to take a 1600 mi road trip on her. I wouldn’t ever try half that on an R1. I do have to recommend the Yamaha Comfort seat for the MT-09 though... The stock seat is uncomfortable and you slide forward a lot on it. I heard that Shad seats are good too, but I have no experience with them... a great seat is everything to truly enjoying this bike, trust me

[@SkylerStutzman]

With that big of a trip coming up, do you have any soft saddle bags or a windscreen on your bike? Or are you just going to rough it the whole way taking on that wind?

[@backseatdriver9576]

B mode is for riding in the rain and new riders. It's much less aggressive on the throttle and also a decent reduction to the hp available, which i think is around 80 hp vs 105 in the other modes. I never ride mine in b mode and there's a reason my bike's nickname is "giggles"...EVERYONE gets off the fz09 with a smile! 😁

I absolutely love my 17 FZ-09. Its sporty and a blast in the canyons, and a dream on the highway with a screen. I've put on 13k in two summers and I'm not stopping yet. Much like you, A mode absolutely terrified me when I got it. I think it took me 3 months to even touch it. But now, that's all I leave it in unless I'm in some crazy rain. P.s. the I-3 sounds like a F1 car with the right exhaust P.s.s. it is a lot of power, but I'm already wanting more....

[@SkylerStutzman]

We always want more! MT 10 in your future?

[@Eulsam_FZ]

@@SkylerStutzman I rode the MT10 the other week, and while it had the power, it didn't have the same character the 09 has. I'm thinking if I upgrade to a new bike, it'll be the Super Duke.

[@SkylerStutzman]

Anything to be seen. I have had too many people pull out in front of me.

[@YamahaR12015]

Makes you easier to see but can actually be more dangerous. Bright lights from a small light source play with the human eyes and make it hard to judge speed. Just food for thought

[@SkylerStutzman]

The question then becomes would you rather be seen and have someone pull out in front of you because they though you were closer further away. Or not be seen at all. Motorcycles are dangerous no matter what way you slice the bread.

[@YamahaR12015]

@@SkylerStutzman odds are they arent gonna see you regardless. With high beams they could see you and think you're moving slower than you actually are, thinking they have room. Both situations are arguably just as dangerous. With that being said I ride with them on and just prepare for the worst at any intersection.

[@SkylerStutzman]

As do i. 🤙🏼

[@regulardude2011]

Would this bike scare you worse than say r6? I’ve bought a cb500f just to learn on and then got rid of it after 3 months. Also spent a good bit of time on friends R6. Is this bike twitchier compared to r6? I don’t have too much bike experience but loved riding r6 especially in corners. Great review!

[@SkylerStutzman]

So what I will say is that with a super sport you have a very linear power band up to 16k rpms. As it’s meant to be held wide open on a track with a smooth power. These naked bikes house the same kind of power in a power band of 9-11k Which means you have a lot more usable power that is friendly on the street, but also perhaps quick to accelerate and get you into trouble if you lack experience. Twitchy one might say. The 07 is much more forgiving than that if the 09. IMO.

[@GamingGems1]

I have both the FZ-07 and the MT-09 in the garage. The FZ is my brothers. I absolutely hate it compared to my bike lol. It feels like a little toy that doesn't have much power or comfort in my opinion. The MT09 is just better in every way. Great video my guy!

[@SkylerStutzman]

Thank you kindly sir. The MT-09 in my opinion is just a superior bike in every aspect. I get the MT-07 for someone who is new to riding. It’s a great bike. However, the MT-09 takes away that gap where you might grow out of the bike wanting more.

@@SkylerStutzman Honestly, I dont think its necessary to do that ( Been riding for 50 years ). Aside from it being illegal, the bigger problem as I see it, espc in the USA, is that you could really piss someone off and could have a road rage incident. Its incredibly annoying to have someone right behind you with a blinding light on, and it could provoke an unfriendly reaction. People coming towards you on a narrow road could also get pissed and do a swerve on you. At night it would be a complete no-no if any traffic about. Wearing bright gear and Lid is a better way to get noticed IMO.
