Overview - Yamaha MT-07 2019 vs Yamaha MT-09 2017

The Yamaha MT-07 2019 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 with 115 HP compared to the Yamaha MT-07 2019's 75 HP. This higher power output translates to a more exhilarating and dynamic riding experience on the MT-09.

Similarly, the torque figures also favor the MT-09, with 87.5 Nm compared to the MT-07's 68 Nm. The increased torque provides better acceleration and overall performance on the MT-09.

Another notable difference is the number of cylinders. The Yamaha MT-07 2019 has a two-cylinder engine, while the MT-09 2017 boasts a three-cylinder configuration. The additional cylinder on the MT-09 contributes to its higher power and torque figures.

In terms of suspension, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 features an upside-down telescopic fork on the front, which is considered to be a higher-end suspension setup compared to the telescopic fork on the MT-07 2019. This difference in suspension design contributes to better handling and stability on the MT-09.

The chassis of the two models also differs, with the Yamaha MT-07 2019 featuring a steel frame and the MT-09 2017 equipped with an aluminum frame. The aluminum frame on the MT-09 offers a lighter and more rigid construction, resulting in improved maneuverability and responsiveness.

Both models have double disk front brakes, ensuring reliable stopping power. The dimensions and weights of the two bikes are also similar, with both featuring 17-inch front and rear tires, a wheelbase of around 1400-1440mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters.

In terms of weaknesses, the Yamaha MT-07 2019 has a slightly outdated-looking dashboard and cheaper controls on the handlebars. On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 requires a higher financial outlay and more working time due to certain parts needing to be registered. Additionally, the ECU Flash on the MT-09 is not road legal.

In summary, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 offers superior power, torque, and suspension compared to the Yamaha MT-07 2019. However, the MT-07 is praised for its easy rideability, comfortable seating position, and a wide range of accessories. Ultimately, the choice between the two models depends on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Yamaha MT-07 2019

Even the first MT-07 series was an insanely good basis for sporty riding on naked bikes. With the 2018 model, Yamaha has finally managed to bring the full potential of the CP2 engine to the road. Keyword: chassis. Thanks to simple interventions, the suspension components now have the sporty character we have long desired. The refreshed look also makes them appear much more grown-up. Only the gauges and gearshift units seem a little outdated - but here you can see why the MT-07 is offered at such a competitive price!

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.
