OC I am perfectly happy with my MT07. I am 68 years old and also have touring bike, a cruiser, and a duel sport. The MT07 provides me with the perfect amount of power for country riding here in Kentucky. I have owned sport bikes and a Street Triple with more power then I would practically use very often. The MT07 will get me from zero to 60 fast enough and I can pass in 5th gear easily. If I need to do interstate I will ride the Street Glide. I will keep my 3k in the bank.

I've riden the MT07 and i love how fun that bike is, can't even imagine what the MT09SP is going to be like.

I liked when you mentioned "Raw Playfulness." I come from dirtbikes, and have always felt that streetbikes lack the mechanical feel that makes riding a motorcycle so spectacular. I recently got to spend a day on a FZ 07 and was astounded by how much they nailed it. It feels more like a supermoto than a streetbike, which I love.

I’ve ridden both, yeah the MT09 is a quicker bike and has better handling but the 07 is more fun to ride. Power and handling isn’t everything. With an exhaust the 07 has the better sound and rumble under acceleration. If I wanted something with power and handling I’d just keep riding my tracked R6. So I’d choose the 07 (with a full Akra) any day. I’ve never had more fun on a bike than when I rode a mt07 (on the street)

Rode cruisers in the past. Bought a 2021 MT03 in the spring and it was a great bike. Spent all summer trying to get an MT07 and finally got one in September at a dealership across the state. Love my 2022 MT07, best bike I've ever owned. Still not sure if I will eventually get an MT09 or not. If I do it will be an SP.

[YantoSP]

OC: Rode older FZ, enjoyed every moment. Got the new SP and I walk into the garage all the time just to spend time with it. I love looking at it as much as I love riding it. Obviously, I already made my choice. SP all day, err'day and twice on Sunday.

SOLD! Lucked out and found one in the SE area. Thanks Chase for the multitude of reviews that you've done not to mention these great comparison videos. I comfortably pulled the trigger on the MT09 SP as my first bike sight unseen.

This is the video that made me buy my mt09 base as my first like last year. And i couldnt be happier. What sold me over the 07 i was originally gonna get was it being taller and all of the safety features. I felt like it was the safer bike even though it had more power. I just rode around in the rain mode and i had 0 issues keeping it under control

I have owned over 30 bikes and have significant miles on many others. I bought a new 2022 MT09 and I put several thousand miles on it to date. The MT09 is simply just about a perfect mix of qualities for my style of riding. Powerful everywhere, decent handling, good riding position, electronic gadgets for everything and has a great aftermarket parts following all over the world. Add a few little items and you’ll be ready for any riding situations. This is a jewel of a bike and been around long enough Yamaha has ironed out the warts. I start my two wheels adventures in 1956 and I think the MT09 is my favorite bike in well over 60 years of riding. I will happy to finish my journey of life on bikes with the MT09!

Hey Chase! I just got my first bike - MT07 this summer, still learning (I haven't got to ride it that much). Now it is winter over here in Norway, I have passed all the mandatory exercises, only ''exam'' left, then I'll get my license. Until then I have to ride with my friends as a trainee witch is a hustle, because time is usually an issue! The power of the MT-07 shocked me! Coming from nothing and feeling the power of the CP2 engine when throttling up to around 60mph at high RPM's and upshifting.... and it still pulls just as much?!.. Is a feeling that can only be special for a new rider I guess! It was mindblowing, awesome and abit scary at the same time! I felt like I was gonna get blown off the bike lol. I wanna test as many bikes in days to come, and yet I don't really want to do that just to enjoy this beast of a motorcycle. The MT07 has plenty of power for me (at this time). I don't feel like I need more torque. The SP MT09 will probably be a replacement for my bike in some years, but I'm not sure if I need it TBH. I'm 35 btw. Sorry for my bad English! Been a fan since 2012'ish!

SimpliSafe: great system, but a pocked sized high power trasmitter can easly jam all SimpliSafe wireless devices signals... basically disabling the system. if you install this system, but a DIFFERENT alarm sign which does not disclose which type of Alarm you have, or how to bypass it. All SimpliSafe customers, you are welcome =)

I'm 52 years old 5'5" 155 lbs currently ride an 03 HD Lowrider and a 2014 HD Street glide and plan on adding a 2021 or 2022 MT07. the price is right and I believe that it will keep me in check better than an 09. I toss around the street glide on cone courses and left some board material on the tail of the dragon.

[MrJayNC]

OC: MT-09 SP over the 07 for sure but MT-10 SP over all for that CP4 sound.

[ribbonrides]

an opinion of someone who 's been riding the base MT09 for 6 months now - I feel like I need to downgrade. I live in Europe, and have nice twisties but they're full of cars most of the time and when just moving around in city traffic, the bike has too much power and I almost always feel like the bike is bored. When I want to keep the speeds within legal limits, which I do, I really have to check myself with the throttle and it's just not that much fun. btw, before the MT09 I owned Tracer 7 and never felt the same way about it....

[johnhernandez]

OC. I’d take the 09 all day. I want to have the stability of a bigger bike and still play when I want to. Coming from riding mostly on 650 class bikes, I’d want that upgrade in power.

[Smallborewheels]

OC: Beau slowly drifting away from cruisers into ADV, I think he needs to ride Jake's MT-07 to see if he still would prefer the MT-09 SP

[X-Poobah-X]

ive had more bikes then i can count the last bike i had was a fz08 i loved that bike then i sold it and got the 09 wow what an amazing bike the power is on demand its very comfortable and does more then i expected it would do 10/10 would recommend

[Tinker]

I’ve now owned both (currently MT-09). If I wanted less hooligan, I’d run the 07.

But I want to pop a wheelie at 65-70 so… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ekonomipanou]

OC: My initial choice was the MT 09. I have ridden the MT 07 and boy I was impressed with it I didn't expect to like it that much. Coming from a Suzuki dr650se that I have been riding since 2012. I really like the riding position of both bikes because it is upright. I am also thinking about getting the Yamaha Ténéré 700. It has the same motor as the MT 07. The ideal thing would be having all 3 😆. But after watching all your videos I believe the MT 09 is the best choice for me. I will be riding in the tri state area (New York, Connecticut and New Jersey), going to Philadelphia from time to time. And commuting in Manhattan on a regular basis for work. Will you do a review of the Ténéré 700 too? Thank you for your insights. I really like the videos. You're doing a phenomenal job keep it up.

[versatile_yt]

I bought an MT07 about a month ago. It's been an awsome bike, and my collection continues to grow!
