VIDEO: Yammie Noob Gives the MT-09 For a First Impression Ride

With the new 2021 MT-09 being given a complete front-end redesign among many other updates, Youtuber Yammie Noob took this opportunity to pick up a 2019 MT-09 to be given away on his channel (yes, Papa Yams gives away plenty of motorcycles to his subscribers). Although the MT-09 has seen a full update and two years’ worth of models post-dating this model Yams has, the video is still brand new.

Although many people love to see videos about new bikes, I think Yammie Noob makes good enough content to make this worth sharing. The 2021 MT-09 hasn’t seen a ton of updates beyond visuals, so this video is still a great resource for riders looking to get onto an MT-09 from any year.

Yammie has owned a previous generation FZ-09, yet this 2019 model still packs enough punch to completely surprise him. Yams’ takes a lot of great angles for his talking points about the machine and puts things into layman’s terms for everyday riders; which in my opinion is what makes his videos so great. Although he praises the bike, he still has some great unbiased criticism for this motorcycle making this first impression ride honest and to-the-point.

VIDEO: Is the CBR500R A Good Everyday Motorcycle?

Yes It Is, but There’s More to It Than That

There’s a ton of beginner motorcycles on the market for new riders to choose from, that’s no surprise. Many new riders have tons of confusing questions to sort through when getting into the motorcycle scene. Should I buy new or used? How long will it take for me to grow out of this motorcycle? Is this bike going to be uncomfortable for my daily commute? Can I save money on another option?

Spite’s new series on the Yammie Noob youtube channel puts motorcycles to the test with week-long ‘ownership’ sessions to see if they really are worth the money they cost. The CBr500R is a difficult option considering how much sheer ‘motorcycle’ a new rider can get for $7000 on the used market. 

Spite mentions that the bike comes in at a 6.5/10 on his rating scale, which makes sense due to it being a beginner-friendly bike but can be alarming to some when you take into account the fact that you can get something that would be a 9/10 when straying away from a ‘new motorcycle’. $12,000 bikes often drop their value to being worth $7000-$8000 after a few years of ownership, so what makes this bike worth the risk?

VIDEO: Yammie Noob Gives His First Impressions of the 2020 Triumph Street Scrambler

Yammie Noob has been giving away free motorcycles like it’s his day job… Because it is his day job. This 2020 Triumph Street Scrambler is one of three motorcycles he is giving away with his “Beginner Bikes Giveaway” Series.

Today ‘Papa Yams’ takes us through a full Revzilla-esq overview and first impression ride of this classy motorcycle. He owns a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Edition with a lot of time on the saddle so he comes from a good place when providing feedback for the motorcycle.

For those unfamiliar, this heritage-based motorcycle comes equipped with a 900cc twin Bonneville engine producing 18% more power than the 2019 model. Triumph knows know to make high-quality bikes, so rest assured this model comes fully equipped with a Brembo front brake caliper, ABS, TC, Rain riding mode (which Yams showcases in the video), and everything else you would expect from an $11,000 motorcycle. 

Having a vintage-looking bike equipped with all the modern technology of new motorcycles is always a great option when navigating a market saturated with sportbikes and things that look fast without having to settle for a cruiser.

Yammie Noob takes this Scrambler through the paces in its natural habitat, bringing it off-road – at quite high speeds – and is pleasantly surprised with how it fares on the gravel.

I’m very surprised by Yammie Noobs’ reaction to the motorcycle because he is typically found riding extremely fast sportbikes and this type of riding isn’t up his usual alley. If you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2020 Street Scrambler and are still unsure about it, this is the video that will tip you over the edge.

Video: The Panigale V2 vs R1 Shootout We All Have Been Waiting For

Brothers From Other Mothers?

When you’re in the market to drop $15,000+ on a liter bike there is pretty much a viable option from every major manufacturer. Liter bikes can be difficult to re-sell, and sometimes depreciate quite a bit due to the lack of buyers so making sure you take the time to research and compare is very important as this is typically the kind of investment you are going to want to hold onto for some time.

I felt like I outgrew my FJ09 within the first year of ownership and have been scouting for the perfect upgrade ever since. It’s been 2 years of searching and sitting on bikes at dealerships and I’m happy to say that I’m finally getting close to purchasing a bigger bike. Seeing as how $15,000 is an entire year worth of rent for me, there is quite a wall of anxiety behind the whole event and I’m sure many of you can relate.

If you’re split between the Ducati Panigale V2 and the Yamaha R1, this is the perfect video for you! Yammie Noob can be quite the polarizing figure as he has totaled more bikes than you can count due to irresponsible riding, but out of all the moto-YouTubers he still provides the first videos I click in my subscription feed when sitting down to watch some new content.

Yammie’s channel has really matured as of late, and the new content he is putting out is A+. The boys go into great detail regarding both bikes, and all the information is communicated in a clear and easily relatable fashion. Both bikes are tested, compared, and judged against one another and I’m sure there is some new information for everyone.

I was under the impression the Panigale was going to be far more uncomfortable than the R1, but obviously, I was wrong when Yammie began speaking so highly of the ergonomics of the bike.

Currently, ‘Papa Yam’ is holding an event for you to win this same Panigale when you join the community on his website.
