All in all, the tuning here has been really fine-tuned and precise. For your money, you get a really good naked bike racer with an optimal price/performance ratio that is easy to ride and achieves fast lap times. If you then dismantle the parts after a few years, you can sell the vehicle very easily on the second-hand market - the Z750 R is very popular there.

Well-designed appearance

stable chassis

footrests offer perfect support

efficient frame cover.

Clean engine tuning with a power commander was not carried out.

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
