At first I hated the headlights, then someone said it looks like Iron Man, and now I can't unsee that and all of a sudden I love it.

[arkadiusw.]

The MT-09 is just the best package on the market right now! Best bang for buck!

[crp_dustin]

My opinion, this MT09 looks way better than thr last gen. I love the little dragon head on it now. Do I think there's better looking bikes? Yeah.

Just picked up my 2024 MT09 SP. I'm in love with her.

[walterjohnson]

I have a 2022 model and I can tell you one thing about the MT09. If you ever ride one long enough to really get to know it, you won’t be disappointed. The headlight has grown on me after adding a little windscreen it looks like the Alien.❤

[LostboyMoto]

I personally love the headlight, it's very unique

[manoloorz]

i love that it allows to keep the quick shifter up but turn it off down, i'm not going to pretend that i can downshift better than the quick shifter but grabbing my own downshifts is something i find very satisfying, also i wonder if they're going to sell a bracket for the rear brake reservoir since it seems to be mounted on the rear footpeg.

Entire bike looks great - including the headlights

[iansmith]

I'm beginning to think I'm blind because this is the first headlight that doesn't make me want to gag 😂. Still not a good looking bike but it finally doesn't look like something a blind and drunk kid carved on a cave wall.

For those in CA the ride is Saragtoga HWY 9 towards Castle Rock State Park, thats where they all all stopped at the flashing stop sign @236 & 9, 236 is the one lane road. Was closed 2 yrs ago when I moved from Sunnyvale to TN and had sell my 21 MT09SP gen 3, love the wheelie control. Now buying the MT09. Then they went back on hwy 9 to Santa Cruz.

The TFL young blood are my favorite, keep it up!

I've ridden bike's for 40yrs, ducati, triumph, Suzuki, kawasaki, i bought 2024 mt09 4 months ago for $1799 ride away in Australia, and could honestly say i have never had a bike that just makes you want to ride so much, and in my opinion only, i would go as far as saying for it's price, this is the best bike ever made, yamaha have developed this bike for 10yrs, and now its spot on, well done yamaha,

[kostasrestas]

i saw it from close before 2 hours and it was great man !!
not big deal the front light ..
cheers from Greece !!

Welding Helmet light! Better! 2023 XSR here.. I think the '24 Mt09 inherited the XSR Brembo master cylinder, and cruise control, added a larger 5" screen, but maintained the shorter MT09 swing arm. New Transmission? Hmm.. I must say my '23 quick shifter is near perfect.. added a flash, dominator exhaust and -1, +2 sprockets. I got to say you always need to check whatever suspension adjustments you have. My rear spring was way too tight for starters. Upgraded front pads to EBC HH. No passengers on this bike.. that's silly.

I just got mine, I traded my 2023 mt07 in on the 2024 mt09. Expecting more power and torque. Unfortunately 2nd gear has no power below 6000 rpm which is my favourite gear to wheelie from. It actually feels like the clutch is slipping…The ecu flash is a lunchbox letdown. Seeing forums on this problem, apparently emission related. It is only felt in 2nd gear oddly enough. Shifting to 3rd the power comes alive again. I guess I have to find a shop to flash this brand new bike to make it consistent in every gear. Yamaha needs to fix this issue.

Cant wait to see this in a sport bike frame... Yamaha R9 here we come!

[fir]

That was a sexy bike. Cant wait to get matte black mt09 v4 on hand

[tkx]

Just ordered a 2023 last of the Gen 3's. I love the more upright riding position as I am 6'2 115kg. I also prefer the smaller display screen and the front end for me was awesome. I overall preferred the look of the 2023 over the 2024 and liked where everything was...The list goes on. Anyways got a yoshi pipe and windscreen and tail tidy being done.

You say to change mode you have to be off throttle but that you wish they had put the button lower so you did not have to take your hand off the throttle... UMmm? Did it occur to you that they put it there so you had to take your hand off throttle since you need to be off throttle to change modes.

Amem on the light. I've also heard/read that it's not really very good for night riding too. Great review, TY! Been think ablout the GTriyumph 765 series (R model) but the MT09 offers more for the money.
