Is the MT-09 a good first bike?
Yamaha MT-09 is famous for its powerful 890cc triple engine and naked bike aggressive styling. It’s often the go to choice for experienced riders, but there’s still discussion if it could work for beginners. On one side, some argue its multiple riding modes and modern electronics mean it’s manageable, while on the other side, some argue that its power is too much for new riders to handle safely. We need to consider rider maturities, physical sizes and previous experience of powerful vehicles. The bike’s lightweight chassis and upright ergonomics make it friendly to beginners, but its ability to wheelie, and rapid acceleration, may be too much. It’s also about cost — dropping an expensive new bike hurts more than a used starter bike.
Absolutely not. If you are a beginner, the MT 09 has way too much power. You first need to learn how to properly control the throttle and move your body on something smaller.
