I bought my First bike ever MT09 SP and the first 3 months I never, literally NEVER set it on A mode, 3months I kept it on B mode, then 1 month on standard, and after that to A mode. So if you have the discipline to hold yourself from dangerous situations, go for it. It is your attitude which changes your chances on this bike. Good Luck.

Nice to see someone ride this bike in a 'normal' fashion for a change. If you look around on youtube you would think that all it ever does is wheelie. While I appreciate the fact that it CAN do them easily, I also like to see the general day to day usability displayed here. Kudos to you for getting this bike and handling it responsibly even though I understand it can be a challenge.

I’m 53 and have been riding dirt bikes since age 12, and street bikes since age 17. I bought a 2014 FZ-09 when they first came out and it was obvious that it was not a bike fit for beginners. Between the overly aggressive throttle mapping and whimpy suspension, it took all of my experience to keep myself out of trouble. After the dealer reflashed the ECU to the 2015 spec, it was better, but still required good throttle control. I added a K&N air filter, Power Commander and Akrapović exhaust, and while still smoother in the first 1/4 throttle than stock, the thing is still a beast and needs a disciplined right hand. I know they have massaged the throttle mapping over the years, but I still hear people saying that it’s on the aggressive side. In short, I would not recommend even the newer MT-09 as a first bike. Get comfortable on something less powerful and learn to ride using good habits before stepping up to this bike.

i did the exact same thing. walked into a yamaha dealership, saw an mt09 in the same colours and bought it never having had a bike before. rain mode is my friend!

[shane]

Great review thank you. My first bike was a MT-07 and now I've upgraded to a MT-09SP. Love this bike.

Mt 09 is the desire to get more scared feelings that a normal heart can stand.

I also learned to ride on a 2015 Mt-09, You just got to be absolutely responsable. Was an amazing experience

[nazrighazali]

Same situation as you, I am a beginner and seriously thinking about getting the MT09, thanks for the insight on your experience. I still haven’t decided on either to start on a smaller displacement bike or go big.

Nice video. I've had a lot of bikes the past 25 years. Aprilia Tuono, FZ09, Ducati Scrambler (talk about twitchy throttle!), Sportsters, Softails, GSXR, KLR650...small cc and large cc, but, to me, it all depends on what you are comfortable riding. If you are uncomfortable, you will not ride well. Skill plays a huge part too, but if you have to reach for that clutch or move your foot too much to shift, it plays a part. I loved my FZ09 so much that I went back to one (MT09 now). It's the most comfortable to me and I feel the most confident on it. Ride safe, all.

I've been riding my R3 for the past year, (9, 000 miles and counting) and I'm trying to decide between the 07 or 09. Good video.

[edselsugay]

Good advice my friend. If we know ourselves, we can learn how to safely control ourselves on midrange to larger bikes. Ride safely mate!

[rubenraj]

Men simply loved the way you talking and presenting about the bike. Superb cool men .

[KoyaNat]

Great video! I've been riding a scooter for few years now and planning to upgrade soon. My choice has always been MT09 but It's kinda intimidating.

[corbinroberts]

July 2019 I bought an mt-09 as my first bike too! You're right, as long as you know your capabilities, how to respect the power, you're good. Not everyone should start on this bike though. I've always been proficient at driving whatever I sit in and I know that about myself. If you can't say the same, start on no stronger than the mt-07. Work your way up and ride safe.

I’ve got a 2016 FJ09 . Picked it up spring 2019 with low KM. The bike has 3 modes this particular year . The lower mode, I think B is a derated engine mode for rain or beginners. The throttle is very slow compared to the High mode which is nuts. That mode has no engine brake either so your always blazing and coming off highways you really need to apply the brakes more . The mid setting is my favourite as it’s got an engine braking mode so coming off highways is easy .
Overall I love the bike and it’s very close to the 2019. Because it’s the FJ it has more fairing and that helps at high speeds . Runs really smooth, very low turbulence .
Great Video, Thanks

[csabamolnar]

It's a good video. I thinking to buy same mt09 and it will be my first bike. Good to hear your thoughts and experiences.

[MrJulianbowden]

The problem with buying say an MT07 first, is the money you will lose part exchanging for the 09, in 12 months time ... Use it in B mode until your confidence rises, and save 5k on buying smaller and upgrading.!

[nixmads]

Hi. Thank you for this video. This video helped me decide to go for Yanaha MT09. Well done.

[joshmorgan]

I am looking at this bike for my 4th I had a cbr300 volcan 900 and a r6 .. loved the power of the r6 but hated the siting position so I think the mt09 will be a great choice
