2018 MT10 SP | First Ride Review

Full disclosure the MT10 is the first 'litre bike' I've had the option of riding and I'm glad to report that it was an absolute blast.
For the most part I wanted to answer two questions. First, am I experienced enough yet to feel comfortable on a 'big' bike? And second, does the MT10 live up to the hype? Yes and oh my god yes.
The MT10 may be an exceptionally powerful bike, but I wouldn't call it intimidating. It is seriously light for a bike of it's performance, is as agile as any middle weight naked and for a bike that power wheelies as effortlessly as it does, the rider modes manage to tame all those raucous ponies from bolting the stable too soon. Treat the bike well and it will reward you with one of the most versatile riding experiences £14000 can buy you.
Give it a go, you wont regret it.

Another excellent video sir. Informative and entertaining as usual.

Nice review and editing!

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

Love my SP she's a keeper, great review keep up the good work 😊

[@dazmorland]

Nice impression of GM, bang on! I actually thought it was him...until I noticed the same gloves and gear on 'both' riders! lol

[@devilmaycry383]

Great verdict I'm looking to upgrade from my MT-07 as I've had it for 3 years almost. I'm hoping to get an SP if not the standard version whatever is at the best price in the second hand market next year.

I have a 2018 yellow/matte silver and I love it!

[@tonypammen3398]

I’ve bought my sp last year and I absolutely love it, I’ve got the comfort seat and that is great , had the suspension setup for me by ohlins technician and that has made it steer and ride bumps much better (it was very good to start with) fuel consumption isn’t the best , but I don’t care to be honest, I just love my bike it’s great and will be getting more carbon fibre parts soon for it to make it mine😄

Bought my stock MT10 two years ago for under £10K new, proper bargain for that bike. Still amazingly got a clean licence (but I am old) The only good thing about being old is I can insure this insane machine for £150.00 fully comp. No warranty issues in 13,000 miles, best bike I've ever owned. Biggest issue with it...... range, fuel light on around 100 miles, out completely by 120. Ride it really hard take 10 miles off that range.

[@abobobilly]

By the way, could you please consider using a Lav or any External Mic to record engine sounds separately? I mean, it's just bad NOT being able to hear a CP4 engine.

[@trucknessmonster4333]

Great review sir! However my question is this. Mt10 sp or speed triple rs in your opinion? Haven't ridden either yet but the MT is pretty ugly, though annoyingly im attracted to it and can't stop thinking about it. Or the rugged yet handsome RS which seems like it wouldn't quite give the same 4th gear power wheelies, but still giving enough lofting ability to adequately entertain? But the triumph gives you a better laptime and corner speed and creamy throttle response??? I'm referring to pb mags comparison between them last year! And.....go....

[@SPDDMN127]

Great review! Any idea why the SP isn't sold in the US? I wish it was!

[@DavorBertovic]

Have the SP also and I'm very satisfied.

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

An oldie but a goodie. 👍🤪🇨🇦

[@oilyrag7429]

I've had the bmw s1000r monster 1200 r and then I bought the 10sp and this beats them both in my opinion, best bike I've owned to date,

[@Persil68]

pity you didn't use the most aggressive mode (mode b) to see what it can really do

[@adriantompson]

there is no a mode on the sp every one that gets on the sp are not changing power modes on dash its pwr1 the fast mode

[@dona825]

It's those dam speed cameras, no points thank god.

[@pauloketch4635]
