The MT-09 we rented this time is the model after minor changes, so there are some differences in specifications and appearance from the earlier model. By the way, I've already reserved a rental of the earlier model.
The main difference between the MT-10 and the MT-10 is the twin-eye LED headlight.....
Cantilevered rear fender license plate mount like Ducati and CB1000R.
In terms of specs and features, it has more horsepower and torque, and an assist and slipper clutch. In terms of specs and features, it has more horsepower and torque, an assist and slipper clutch, and a brushed-up suspension, which had a bad reputation.
とSo, here are my impressions. As usual, this is the ramblings of an amateur, and I'd like to point out that I was in poor health on the day of the event, and am writing this based on my memory a few days later.
Lovely place.
I just checked YAMAHA's website.... It looks like it has a quickshifter for the UP direction.... I didn't know & didn't notice!....
And even without it, it's more feature-rich than the GSX-S750/1000, which are supposed to compete on price, and more like the CB1000R.
Quite luxurious equipment
This is why I didn't notice some things when I was riding it, but it has an aluminum frame, radial-mounted front brakes with ABS, and of course, a TRACON and power mode switch. The bike is also equipped with assist and slipper clutch, auto shifter (up direction), and electronic throttle control. It's comparable to bikes in a slightly higher price range.
High quality ride
On the day of the rental and right after I started riding, I felt that the suspension was very high quality compared to the Ninja 650, which has been equipped with OHLINS front and rear and has already traveled about 15,000km. The odometer read just under 4,000km, which is the best timing for the suspension, but I'll have to compare it to the pre-MT-09 next time.
Even on long touring trips, you will probably feel less fatigue from the suspension.
Nice engine
This YAMAHA 3-cylinder.The engine of the first MT-09 Tracer I rode wasn't very good.However, when it was in perfect condition, it was a great engine. As the old saying goes..."The best of two- and four-cylinder engines"It's more like a four-cylinder, but it's very fun to open and close the gas pedal, and the response is just as you want it to be.
Slim and compact body with good handling and footing
The slim, compact and lightweight 193kg body was easy to handle. Even though I'm not in the best physical condition, I didn't feel like it was too hard to handle. The footing was also good right after the rental."If you use both feet, your heel will be lifted, but the ball of the thumb will be firmly grounded."If you sit closer to the front in street riding position, both feet will be on the ground.
Hmm? What is it?
I think the following items are influenced by my poor health, so I have to deduct them from the list....
Rear Ground Contact
I took the Hakone New Road from the Turnpike to Hakone and back, and I felt that the rear of the bike was a little less grounded than the GSX-S750/S1000 and my Ninja 650. I didn't play with the preload at all and didn't check it, so maybe that's why, or maybe the bike is designed to turn from the front.
Oh, by the way, the tires were the BATTLAX S20F, which are standard for this type of car.
I can't... Too fast.
The power mode was set to the middle STD throughout, but it was still more than fast enough. Self-discipline required. On the way home, I tried accelerating in A mode for a bit, but... This is a bit... Too fast!
Existence of SP model
For an additional 100,000 yen, you can choose the SP version with Ohlins rear suspension and KYB front forks... So there is no point in choosing the standard spec... And the SP is only available in one color scheme.......
summary
It's a good bike. It has a lot of equipment for the price.... But the GSX-S750/1000 is more suitable for me. The MT-07 I used to ride.is what it is for me at the moment."The best bike for city riding"However, when riding the MT-09 on the street, the engine seems to be rushing me more and I feel stressed out....
