Overview - Yamaha MT-07 2014 vs Yamaha MT-09 2017
The Yamaha MT-07 2014 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, in-line configurations, and liquid cooling systems. However, there are several key differences between the two models.
In terms of engine power, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has a significant advantage over the MT-07 2014, with 115 HP compared to 75 HP. The MT-09 also has higher torque at 87.5 Nm, compared to 68 Nm for the MT-07. This difference in power and torque is due to the MT-09's three-cylinder engine, compared to the MT-07's two-cylinder engine.

The chassis and frame of the two bikes also differ. The Yamaha MT-07 2014 has a steel frame, while the MT-09 2017 features an aluminum frame. This change in frame material contributes to the MT-09's slightly higher weight, with a kerb weight of 193 kg compared to the MT-07's 182 kg.
Both bikes have double disk brakes at the front, with the same tire widths and diameters. The MT-07 has a wheelbase of 1400 mm, while the MT-09 has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1440 mm. The seat height is also slightly higher on the MT-09, measuring 815 mm compared to the MT-07's 805 mm.
In terms of weaknesses, the MT-07 2014 has a suspension that is considered a little soft, and its footrests tend to drag quickly. Additionally, some parts of the bike are made of cheap plastic, and the telescopic fork is considered boring.

On the other hand, the weaknesses of the MT-09 2017 include a higher financial outlay and more working time required for maintenance. Certain parts of the bike also need to be registered, and the ECU Flash modification is not road legal.
In summary, the Yamaha MT-07 2014 is a lightweight and agile bike with a powerful engine, while the Yamaha MT-09 2017 offers even more power and torque, along with upgraded suspension and braking components. However, the MT-09 comes with a higher price tag and requires more maintenance and modifications to achieve its full potential.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2014
The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and even above.
Yamaha MT-09 2017
In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
