I got the 2024 mt09sp a month ago and I absolutely love it and I would highly recommend it if you're looking to purchase one. All the little upgrades they did to the 24 model just make it that much more perfect plus I think it looks a lot better than the 23

[boomjykeo]

Yam I think you should just buy one for yourself. You’re talking everyone into it, but I think you’ve more than convinced yourself to as well 😂

My 2022 MT09 SP has 39K miles without any issues. I did get a comfort seat which works great on 200+ mile trips. If you get a motorcycle, this is it!

[Furrby]

Only thing I wish you could have done was get it tuned. I've owned my MT09 SP from new since 21 and a ECU flash really unlocks these machines. Best bike I've owned/ridden to date!

[Bannanables]

Welp you talked me into it, just signed papers today on a 2023 MT09 SP. Couldn't find one around me so i am getting it shipped from like 500 miles away. I can't wait!

Sliders, tank grips, rear stand pegs, and a puig touring windscreen are what's on mine. The windscreen was an immediate purchase. Shift's the wind buffering from chest to helmet and makes it tuckable.

I have a 23 non sp version and it's a perfect daily commuter. If you're thinking of a naked don't look anywhere else but these. Quick shifter is butter wheelies easy carves it up amazing and it's goldwing level comfortable

This bike has the same specs as my bike that came out 20 YEARS AGO. SV1000S FOR LIFE, BABY!

[Saltybuttercuts]

Finally went and saw one last week since the SP, have been lacking here in Jacksonville, and loved it. Hoping in the next few months once I recover from surgery I will be able to finally get it. Thank you for all you content in advice!

[cashpina]

I have the same bike. I love it . I love hearing you praise it. It let's me know I made a good decision

I've had a 22 Mt09 for about a year and a half, and I absolutely love it. I wasn't a fan of the looks at first, but after some bar ends, a tail tidy, a small CNC windscreen, and a puig nose spoiler, I think it looks really good. I've also thrown some carbon parts on there, as well as an Sc project exhaust and 2wheel Dyno works tune. This bike is an absolute blast. It's at the perfect sweet spot for street power. As all riders do, I want more bikes, but I don't think I could ever get rid of the mt09

I was going to wait for the 2024 MT09SP until you enthusiastic so much about the 2023 so much! The 2023 were just on runout here in Australia, so I bought at 17000 on road, which is 4000 less than the new model. First ride yesterday and I loved it! And given I was just riding a KTM 1290 Superduke 2014, I was still impressed with the MT09 torque on offer in my favourite twisties! Thanks for the recommendation and keep filming Yammie Noob, keep filming Yammie Noob, keep filming Yammie Noob!

I got a 23 sp and I have to say that it is a giggle machine, I can't get enough of it!!!🎉

[ChrisSauer-oeve]

I would highly recommend the 24’ MT-09sp. I bought mine 2 months ago & love it.
Throw the bread box boat anchor exhaust in the trash.
If you are a power freak flash the ecu, but the throttle is good on it stock.

Congrats to you and your family on your new arrival😊❤

[richutting]

I asked about the Tracer 9 in the comments of the previous video. Thank you for answering. Keep up the great work 👍

[Dushyant]

Appearance wise, I thought 2023 looked bad. Thanks to 2024 model, this 2023 model looks good.

[DonJ.]

Amazing!! Yam . I've been researching this bike all week! 🔥🔥🔥

My favorite Yamaha with the triple is the xsr900. While I can’t deny the MT09 is good, I prefer everything about the xsr900. Such a good engine though no matter the platform.

[RedBud]

Back in 2019 I did one of those Yamaha free demo test ride where they had various bikes including the Tekken but, I wanted to ride the XSR900 that had the '79 Daytona 400 paint scheme. I didn't even realize until then that it was a 3 banger but, was super impressed with the flat torque curve it had. I think I still prefer the look of the XSR.
