Join me while we try to find out!

I have a friend who has one and he is around 6 foot 4 and he loves it, no problems with height

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Rob, thanks for watching, I too have a friend that’s just bought one, he’s a big guy too and has no issues fitting on the bike. More on the way, please subscribe 👍

Re tall riders - 198cm here, absolutely no problem. Legs fit perfectly under the tank. Just had to adjust brake and clutch to be a little lower for better angle.

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi evil, that’s good to hear, it’s such a great bike, hope your enjoying yours. Thanks for watching and your comments 👍

[@robnobbycrawford4378]

Good review👍, but I’m a bit biased as a current owner of a tech black! Love the stealth look, but it’s a bugger to keep clean especially this time of year , as my daily it’s perfect but I do find myself taking the long way home 😉

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Rob, thanks for watching and your comments, its a great bike, I may end up buying one, just not sure if I need the SP?

[@TheeMisterspain]

Absolutly spot on. I took one a test ride around October and was almost sold (the looks put me off). From having an S1000R for 2 years this is plenty fast enough around the B roads let me tell you. Your right though its marmite. I'm warming to it but part of me is holding off for the 2023 Street triple RS. It's 2k more expensive but far better looking I think. I watch a lot of these reviews and the car filming is a nice touch. Keep it up.

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Van, thanks for watching and your kind comments, I’m in the same boat as you, the new triumph looks great on paper, 130 HP , should handle brilliantly and looks spot on, I’ll be testing one as soon as they’re available 👍

Finally! Been waiting for the mt 09 review for a long time.

Nice review 👍 . Fanny i also had Tuono v4 and Superduke 1290 . I got the mean green 2022 mt 09 now 😁 .

Good review Would like to see what you think about the new SP 2024 when available 👍

[@sweetrides8418]

Thanks Pete, I’ll see what I can do, my local dealer doesn’t normally run the SP as a demo, but I’ll give it a go 👍

[@marksmith8663]

Triple is my favourite I kept my Street triple 675 for 7 years bought a Daytona 675 to replace it for more track /odd road ride . Would of bought the newer street 765 if it had cruise control . Ended up with super duke for the road mainly because it had cruise and came with panniers want to do more touring , it was the MCN longer term KTM selling off . Not sure v twin takes a bit of getting used to after being a triple fan . My least favourite is in line 4 on roads track they hard to beat. Ps. I agree small lighter bikes are sometimes quicker on B roads . MT9 plenty of go

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Mark, yeah new street triple with 130 bhp should be interesting, I do enjoy smaller bikes but really miss the power on longer trips

[@PureEvolution]

SP comes with cruise control also which is handy and for a heavyer person i would go SP as this can handle much better dampaning control than the stock stuff

[@SuperDucatiman]

Hi Pure, thanks for the comments, hoping to rest an SP soon 👍

[@PureEvolution]

@@SuperDucatiman they are brill did 1200 miles few month back only thing i would say is comfort seat if your thinking of doing 200+ miles in a day

[@hiddendragon415]

@@SuperDucatiman I have a SP and I bought it only for the extra bling, Ohlins, classy paint job. The SP's better suspension really only pays for itself if you take it to the track. The cruise control which some swear by I never use. The bike is a gem, comfortable seating position, stiff frame, bucket loads of torque and the quick shifter/autoblipper is game changing, it's that good. SP or non SP you can't go wrong with this bike unless you are considering serious touring miles in which case get a Tracer.

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Dragon, thanks for watching and your comments, I must admit I am very tempted by this bike, great fun and handles really well 👍

Hi, thanks for watching and your comments, I love Canada 🇨🇦, I was over a couple of months ago, beautiful place 👍

[@josevi5835]

I own rhe XSR900... and it is awesome. Torque, power, smoothness and control at its highhest point. And it is very nimble, wonderfully designed and crafted. Great bike and incredible value for money. However, I do not recommend this bike for beginners, impulsive drivers or people with back diseases: the engine is very sporty and the suspenssion pretty stiff.

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Jos’e, I much prefer the look of your XSR and hope to be testing one soon, thanks for your comments, keep watching 👍

Great review, but your audio mixing is terrible, especially on headphones

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Burt, thanks for the feedback, strange though as I mixed it on headphones, what did you struggle with, was it my vocal?

[@ipohboy]

Is the amount of steering lock problematic when pushing the bike around the garage?

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Julian, I’ve not noticed any issues with steering lock, but this is a very heavy bike, I just wheel it back wards and then ride it back and forth to turn it on my drive

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Julian, please ignore my last comment, I got confused and thought you were talking about the Harley. The Yamaha is fairly light and I had no issues

[@ipohboy]

For under $10k, absolutely the best middleweight naked, in the entire class it’s not.

[@sweetrides8418]

Hi Free, sorry, so are you saying iin your opinion t is the best or not?

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@sweetrides8418 At it’s price point, yes it is. I don’t believe it’s the best in the middleweight naked class.

[@sweetrides8418]

Ah OK, what bike do you prefer?

[@paulhope3401]

​@sweetrides8418 The Duke 890R is arguably the middleweight king but fully unlocked its over £2k more and reliability can be a bit hit or miss with it also. The latest Triumph ST RS is also a contender although is more track orientated so may not appeal as much to those looking for more of a hooligan streetbike. The MT09 offers best bang for buck as a sub £10k streetbike for those with less expendable cash. Absolutely love my MT09 SP, zero regrets. Its a total depression banisher that has me giggling like a little girl 😊 every time I ride it.. and has me smiling for the rest of the day. 😁

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@paulhope3401 Track Pack(everything unlocked) is under $800, not sure the conversion, but no where near £2k.
