@@BenRingenberg Had been comparing several bikes and wasn’t crazy about my dealer experiences and the availability of the XSR900 or its OEM parts.

​@@Schaaf QS.. best innovation yet.. why doesn't ford do this? We know who designs arguably the best engines (Yamaha), and it ain't a car company! In fact my '90 SHO 5 spd had a Schweet 3.0 V6, 7K Redline, to ford was putting out low 360Hp, As smogged and built, only 220 HP but would beat my 5.0. sold it at 220K miles, running perfect.. only replaced the timing belt twice (PITA).

I test rode this bike briefly - admittedly at much lower speeds, since I'm nowhere near as skilled and also the roads around here are garbage. I was blown away by the cornering stability, though. Instant confidence boost. I didn't get all the way to the edge of the tire, but the bike just fell in and held a line perfectly for me, on the stock S22 tires. That's the main difference I see here, all the other reviews seem to be on the stock S22s. Maybe the Dunlops don't suit the bike as well? If you ever get the chance, give it another try with the S22!

[@michaelurbanetz3464]

Wenn man den Sitz hinten noch etwas abpolstern lässt dann ist das Bike eindeutig die schönere und bessere MT-09. Längerer Radstand und vor allem die eher nach vorne gerichtete Sitzposition sind Pluspunkte, die die normale 09 eben nicht hat. Ich finde das Teil einfach gelungen!

[@Schaaf]

Jep! Danke!

[@leanit5756]

For guys commenting on the appearance of poor stability.... as delivered the suspension is a goat rope - the bike is all over the place. However if you dial in some additional rebound damping (a lot more) front and rear, it is a dramatically better bike that you can ride like a nut. One or two more clicks of compression damping in the fork helps too. Unfortunately the shock has too much compression damping and that is not adjustable. However decent roads, it still works fine. If there is a lot of root bumps, water depressions, frost heaves, and broken uneven asphalt it will beat you up a bit.

[@Schaaf]

[@Pfannkuchenkanone]

@@rxmcord2392 I tested a XSR900 today, and did ride around a big parking space with the Z900RS a couple of weeks ago. I have to say, I like the Yamaha better in terms of handling. It's much sportier and accelerates faster and you really notice the weight difference when flicking it around, however, the Z900RS is more comfortable and better for cruising and longer distances imo. Don't get me wrong, you still can drive pretty fast on the Kawasaki too, but you're much more sat ON the vehicle rather than IN the vehicle (like the XSR). And you sit almost straight upright on the Kawasaki, and the footpegs are closer to the ground.

Great runs as usual, loose bag strap or not.

i got the same feeling on the new MT09 aswell! Same lacking stability in long sweepers and big lean! I drive the S22 on my ST, the exact same tire as on the MT09. So i stayed at my Street Triple

[@deathtomorons9388]

Street triple isn't as fun as a Mt 09. Street triple is for Amateur

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for sharing!

Lovely bike, lovely engine.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@scandimc]

Great review! I find the mt09/xsr900 lacking feedback in the chassis in terms of the frame design, its a more street oriented frame and not a supersport frame like the street triple. Therefore I feel unconfident when pushing it in the corners.

[@dsofe4879]

Are you referring to the new MT09/XSR900 or the old one? They updated the chassis specifically to fix that.

[@Schaaf]

Yea, the Street Triple definitely felt more planted than this. But indeed it might can be fixed with time for adjustment

[@SUAR-PH30]

the bike sounds like a Flat-6 Engine. nice!

Is zoom h8 good for raw onboard videos?

[@Schaaf]

Yes

[@chris96066]

Very good Quckshifter, seems to be better, like the QS on my Duke 790...

[@Schaaf]

I think they perform on the same level!

Ich wünschte ich wüsste wobei Straßen sind, ich muss echt mal mehr und weiter erkunden :D

[@AlienSensei]

I'm nowhere near as pro as the other commenters but when you do the walkaround, I look at those wheels and have an impression that the diameter is on a smaller side. It's like looking at someone who's wearing shoes 1 size too small. Perhaps that's the cause of the instability during long sweeps. Prefer the previous model though.

[@Schaaf]

No idea, I'm no pro either :D

[@addix.official]

Wie man das Heck beim Design so verkacken kann ist schon eine Meisterleistung. Aber bei Yamaha ist ja immer was, bei der MT-Reihe kann man sich ja die Front nicht geben. Schade um die interessante Technik.

[@dsofe4879]

Naja, sitzbank tauschen ist immerhin wesentlich einfacher, als Scheinwerfer/cockpit tauschen.

[@Schaaf]

Stimmt. Aber die meisten MTs verkaufen sich sehr gut, also dürft das Design doch ein paar Abnehmer finden. Da gehör ich aber auch nicht dazu ;)

[@redhair2784]

wow thats a beauatiful bike 😍
