This is the reason I sold my mt10 and bought the new mt09. Such a good daily and plenty of useable punch for the road. Love how fuel efficient it is also, seriously like 40% better fuel economy than my mt10.

Heart says 10, head says 9, but my wallet says second hand 7 😂

[CmooreSinse]

07 & 09 are affordable and fun, while the 10 has desirable features and never disappoints in the riding experience.

[vagabondsoldier]

Agreed, bought the MT-09 and couldn’t be happier. That being said, I love my XSR700 as well. Each has something different to bring to the table.

Mt 07 2015 had for about 2years now and its nothing but comfort and fun. Looked at the 09 but went for 07 an it hasnt disappointed 1 bit. The Mts are a great bike 🏍❤️

[Rick-velx]

I’ve got the 07. I’ve got a Ti exhaust, k-tech suspension and a mild ecu tuneup to smooth her out. 70bhp is plenty for me.
Disadvantages: crap seat, throttle travel too long (R6 tube fixes it when I get round to it someday) and the tank shape funnels cold air over the gonads, requiring insulation via a hat down the trousers.
Everything else with the bike is spot on, it’s a very good little machine.

The mt09 is the best street fighter ever, inside big cities nothing, nothing can catch you if you have enough experience, the weight and the power and the handling is really amazing ❤

[pistolpete]

Can’t go wrong with any one of those bikes. As much as I love the sound of the MT10 I don’t like the looks so most likely would go with theMT09 and save some money as well. Great video!

[calculatorade]

Went from an FZ09 and ZX14R to an MT07 and ZH2. The FZ09 (MT09) is a perfect all around street bike. The MT07 is a perfect stunt bike and economical cruiser. The ZH2 is just unreal as a naked bike. All Japanese manufacturers make the best bikes/bang for the buck.

I got the baby MT which is perfect for my hometown where the roads are narrow and lots of traffic, i enjoy it massively also it got the best look of all the MT series

I've had my 2020 MT09 since new off the showroom floor. It has a few tasteful mods/upgrades and I absolutely love it. Perfect for commuting, a lot of power, more than you'd ever need for the street (in the past I owned several suberbikes). The MT09 is amazing on fuel (5.6L/100kms even when gunning it everywhere, gotten as low as 4.6L/100kms). In my ice fluo colour scheme she turns heads everywhere I go, and the sound is just a true Yamaha symphony, especially with the full Akrapovik exhaust and factory quick shifter.

[breezyproductions]

I had all three and would buy the mt09 again. Mt07 was fun but lacked the power I was looking for. Mt10 is fast and planted nicely in corners etc. but the mt09 is just so much fun messing around and it just sounds the best.

[dmac]

I owned an MT09 (previous gen) for 3 years and then bought the MT10. The MT10 is larger and feels more substantial and comfortable. That power is addictive. Can't have too much power!

[jazzboy]

Had an XSR 900 a few years ago and while an awesome bike, it was a bit squirrely at highway speeds with some wind. My current 2021 MT10 is rock solid. Just took it up the Sea to Sky highway to Pemberton from Vancouver, here in BC, Canada and it's basically glued to the road at any speed. Simply ridiculous haha!!!

[Aussie_R]

Having owned a MT07 and now a MT09 SP. I'd say the MT07 is such much fun to be a hooligan on. That said I prefer the MT09 SP, the Triple sounds incredible and I love the cruise control on highway commutes.

[KHIJAPAN]

The way you put it you are right. But maybe not so much 😊
I owned a 2022 MT-09 SP and tuned it to 123whp. Very powerful very enjoyable in the canyon, and on mode 2 very pleasant city riding.
Now I am riding a 2023 MT-10 fully tuned with 169whp, FKR 102 Ohlins front, TTX 36 GP Ohlins at the rear. Brakes are not worst than the rest of the big bikes withe exception of the expensive Ducati. Though the suspension I have is much better than any of them. Honesty in the canyons there is NOTHING to catch this monster!! Especially when there are short to middle straights and a lot of twisty roads. Yes cost me the same as an aprilia tuono factory, but my setup is lights ahead of them...

mt 09 sp ...it arrives in 10 days!!! so stoked

[collintoutdoors]

I had a 2016 FZ07 for 3 years and I absolutely loved that bike. Never ending smiles & had no plans of selling it anytime soon. My Dad unfortunately laid it down (he is okay) but the bike was not. Sold the FZ and bought a 2023 MT09 and it is a FANTASTIC bike. I absolutely love it and can't wait to get an exhaust on it this winter!

[RotorRidesNC]

Ive got a 2023 MT10. Ive done 4k miles in little less than 3 months. Absolutely love it. Full exhaust, and ECU flash. The sound and torque is amazing. Recently got back from Tail of Dragon. Im absolutely in love with this bike. Wheelies for days, and an absolute beast in the mountains. I liked the MT09 alot, but it didnt do it for me. The right side engine casing annoyed me alot with how far it sticks out

[josevi]

I tried the MT07 and MT09. Both are fantastic bikes, but the MT09 is two steps ahead: better engine, almost the same weight, better brakes, better suspension and more electronics. I can not imagine that someone needs more power, torque and performance that the MT09 provides. Have not tried the MT10 yet, I imagine that it has to be a blast, but only if you want an inline four I would prefer this bike versus the MT09.
