2024 Yamaha MT-09 Review
Ten years after its debut in the U.S., the Yamaha MT-09 has been updated and refined for 2024 while maintaining its wild side that we enjoyed on the first generation. Updates on this generation are extensive, including new acoustic amplifier grilles, an improved transmission, more aggressive ergonomics, a stiffer chassis, updated suspension, new Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tires, a new 5-inch TFT display, new switchgear, and a complete electronics package.
We rode the MT-09 in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California during Yamaha’s press launch and then rode the bike home after the launch, testing the MT-09 on a variety of roads. We came away impressed with the bike’s refinements and happy to see how this motorcycle has evolved in the past decade.

    Great vid. Mine arriving tomorrow cant wait. Even thought im in uk i wanted a black one had to wait a extra couple of weeks for it. The honda dealers here told me its 93hp and usa ones 83 ? Prob emission reasons but i have noticed a visual difference in Europe and usa models, usa has one hole at exhaust with removable baffle europe ones have two hole and none removable. Maybe just remove your baffle and be the same power as ours 👍 anyone have any thoughts on this ? If i was in usa i would not be happy with losing 10hp 🐎. Hope this help my American friends 😃.
