Riding since 1956 with some racing and track days. Bought a MT09 and it may be the most rounded out bike I have ever ridden. It willingly does anything you ask it to do. Fast, slow and cruise. Long live the MT09.

I've own an 09 Street Triple and it was good around town also. I just bought an MT07 and am perfectly happy with it. It has all the power that I want. My Street Triple was so addictive that I wouldn't put it up without hitting triple digits. It was a blast but it wasn't near as comfortable as the MT07 is and I just don't need all that performance to be happy. They say everything gets old and so does having more power then you will use very much.

Loving my 21 Mt09. Bike is a blast all around. Non SP model and it handles like a champ. Really didn’t need the suspension upgrade at the moment for shredding backroads and commuting on the east coast. In the spring I’ll run it a handful of times at the track just because and see how it does. Just finally broke 1, 000 miles and got to open her up. I am not disappointed. 🙌🏼

I really enjoy your reviews of the MT09sp. I put a deposit on one Saturday and will be picking it up Tuesday. Super excited. Your reviews on this bike greatly influenced my decision.

OC: Have a brand new MT07 that I love and fulfills all my needs but dangggg. The MT09 be looking real spicy and I want one after watching all of your videos on it

[Timeord]

OC- You’ve got some of the most comprehensive reviews I’ve found on YT. Great content my bro. Definitely a big factor in helping me make buying decisions.

As a life long Yamaha guy and proud owner of a 2014 FZ-09, I can tell you they have really raised their game in the transmission department. Yamaha trannies used to have a couple extra neutrals here and there, and I’m glad they’ve finally gotten it together.

Now I feel understood. 🤗
I ride a 2018 MT09 and have to go through a big city to work every day and the MT09 is a great city bike, although overpowered. 😊
The ergonomics, weight, gear box and even the steering angle(on the 2018 model), it’s all better for city riding than on the 650 inline 4, that I had before.

real informative Video! I'd love to see how this bike stacks up against the new z900 for a mostly city rider

[paradox]

OC: I figure anything modern with an upright seating position and medium-high/high seat is going to be good in the city. Your visibility is automatically better than a supersport or cruiser and other drivers will more like see your helmet above the car roof line ahead of you.

[svein-idarhenriksen]

Nice review on the MT-09. This tipped me over to actually buying one. Pick it up tomorrow and then a 300k ride home. Not bought for the long trips so nice to know it works well for commuting 👍

[Skipshift]

OC. I think the rider position plays a lot into city riding. Being upright and in a more natural and noticeable position has got to help. Not only your visibilty as a rider, but the ability for car drivers to notice you at more of an upright window or roof line height.
I ride my gsxr everywhere and by far in traffic is my least favorite. Like you said, the shoulder checks and looking over your shoulder in that supersport position are not really comfortable.
Keep up the good work guys!

OC: I have this bike & I think it’s the perfect bike for NYC and probably any city. Riding comfortably or aggressive this bike makes It so easy. New Toce exhaust is currently being crafted on my bike now & that’ll make It so much better with that extra noise.

[Raising_Cain_]

OC: you I been a long time subscriber been watch since you had an R6 and then it got stolen then the supermoto. You are one of the reason I want ti get a MT-07 and I go to your videos to get reviews on bikes. I’ve been wanting to motovlog since I graduated from high school in 09 and been watching a lot of you vloggers out there. But you have one of the best channels.

[RevechoRides]

OC: Agreed. I usually assume high spec bikes / sportbikes are uncomfortable and require work to tame all the power in a city setting. But watching this review of the MT09 and some of 1290 Super Duke actually changed my view (hoping to test ride both soon)

[LGD]

Can always count on you man! been almost 5 years since I've been active. One search for the bike I'm looking for, and like magic here you are with a review! Appreciate ya

[robwessels]

Outro crew here. I dig this bike. Just got my 2021 MT07 and I’m jealous of those gold forks

[keaneu]

OC: Great motorcycle. I feel the same thing with my Suzuki GSX-S 750 with the turn radius at slow speeds. I never got my hands on a MT09 but did ride a Yamaha MT07 and I found the MTO7 would handle better than my GSX-S 750.

[jeehill]

OC: this will be my first higher powered bike, I have been riding for 1.5 years until i got hit head on while at a stop sign a month ago while on my shadow. Im now riding my girlfriends "old" 2018 cb300f until the sp arrives (on a list) and i think it might ruin my expectations of what high powered bikes are like but i am ok with this. I want something i can commute on year around, but still take to a track and have fun with on the highway. Windscreen will be a must but I am excited.

[elestruqui]

I placed a deposit on one of these November of 2020 at my local dealer and they just now received one.
I got tired of the BS and waiting so I got a ZH2; no regrets.
