2022 MT10SP Ride/Review

Join me on my first ride on the new MT10SP, is it a viable "all-rounder" ???

[@iancameron1188]

Cheers for that. I got mine a week ago. I’ve had a preloved ‘17 MT10 for 3 years and love it that much I ordered the ‘22 SP as soon as it was announced. I can tell your viewers the Ohlins are worth every cent to me, the fueling/quick shift is more refined and the extra intake roar encourages bad behaviour 👍🏻😎

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

LOL ye that intake roar is unreal ... so glad you're happy, it's a great bike !!! (thanks for watching)

[@hubert1142]

Grats! I've also had the standard 2019 mt10, done over 40000kms on it. Planning to get the SP version prolly next year.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

@@hubert1142 its a great bike ! (thanks for watching)

[@butchcassidy9125]

Hi Ian. A lot of my riding is on bumpy country back roads. How do you find the suspension of the SP on rough roads ?

[@disaffectedmale]

Took delivery of my standard MT10 2022 in Tech Black only yesterday. Coming from an original MK1 MT09 I have to say that it feels pretty plush and comfortable in the few miles I've done on it. I've yet to get my head around all the tech but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon enough. Haven't really noticed the extra weight, I specced the comfort seat, Black Akra silencer plus Carbon fibre cover for the cat, Gilles tooling levers and Chain adjusters, GB Racing engine protection pack, Yamaha Rad and Oil cooler guards, Side tank grip and Tank pad. I've also ordered separately an Evo Tech tail tidy, spindle bobbins for front and rear wheels, Engine crash bobbins and paddock stand bobbins all of which are also Evo tech. That'll do for now, my wallet hurts. 😃 Can't wait for next summer. 🤟🤟🤟

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Hi, you've put together a very nice bike there, I'm sure it's gonna provide you with years of fun, they are a great machine .... ENJOY ! (& thanks for watching)

[@Yammi-wn3lm]

Great video mate planning on getting one soon going for the SP model 👍

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

You’ll be super pleased for sure !

[@harkbumo]

궁금했던 바이크인데 잘보고 갑니다!

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Oh that’s good to know for the future, cheers and thanks for watching 👍

[@Armo-MT10]

I didn’t like the mirror length but I found 40mm extensions on ebay, did the job perfectly. I have the 22 standard and it rides fantastic.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Yes I'm sure 40mm would make all the difference to the mirrors and thanks for watching.

[@Rabessey]

I got a 2022 MT-09 SP 2 weeks ago. (I ordered a 2021 and after a year a 2022 showed up) It's a first bike, so I'm taking it slow. It has an Öhlins suspension, but not the State-Of-The-Art Semi-active that the MT-10 SP has.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Good-on-ye, it's a great bike that's gonna give you lots of pleasure. Thanks for watching

[@Fernando90054]

I’m expecting for the opportunity to ride this specific model and version of the Yamaha T-10. At the present I have a SDGT, but would definitely like to try the fourth cilindres engine and see in comparison if the semi active suspensions does keep up with the performance of the WP APEX that come from stock on the KTM SDGT . I’m really curious about that. Thanks for the video . Ride safe. ✌️✌️

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Yes, an interesting comparison, I've still not ridden a SD GT, that's one I'm looking forward to !

[@Peter-Parkey]

Nice vid! Whats the mic you have connected to your gopro?(the one we can se on the video)

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Hi, the actual microphone I use is a Rode Lavalier Go, but the thing you can see on the side of my helmet (behind my Sena intercom) is the Rode Wireless Go II, which isn't really necessary I just use that to "transmit" the mic to the GoPro media mod (I could of course just plug the mic directly in), my wife's helmet also has one fitted which means we can both "transmit" to the GoPro, so it records both our voices. I can also detach it and clip it to my shirt for other types of "off bike" recording. Hope that helps and thanks for watching

[@Peter-Parkey]

@@Carlshandlebarsandholidays I see, thanks for sharing!

[@Greddi]

Have you tried the regular MT10? I'm wondering about the Öhlins suspension is worth the few thousands quids?

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Hi, no I haven’t rode the std bike, but having had the MT09SP until very recently, if I’m honest I’d probably say no “for me”. I think there’s a small percentage of people who could actually get any benefit from it, but lots will buy the SP just for the additional shiny bits, & hey, what’s wrong with that LOL

[@Greddi]

@@Carlshandlebarsandholidays Many people see the Öhlins suspension as a trackday tool. I'm more interested in the Tourings capability. As I have already tested the standard MT10, I find that the rear suspension is a bit stiff on uneven tarmac. Do you find your self comfy on slow speed uneven roads, with the MT10SP?

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

@@Greddi to be honest I couldn't really say, I only had the bike for a couple of hours and all our local roads are pretty much super smooth, can't say that I noticed it being a harsh ride, but I also don't know how the suspension was set, it would just have been on factory settings. One thing that might help you, when I got my MT09SP brand-new, the factory settings were very hard, I softened up all the suspension and it did make a MASSIVE difference.

[@cuttsy007]

@@Greddi the biggest advantage I've noticed with the SP suspension is you can set it to soft comfy mode while around town and then when you get to the fun smooth twisty roads you just flick it to hard sporty mode. Not having to compromise 9ne way or the other with suspension settings makes all the difference for me.

[@scottwang16]

I have the standard version, and tried my friend's SP version yesterday. The SP feels more smoother and more stable. And the SP's brake is stlightly sharper. I regret not got the SP now...

[@Jewellm83]

How did the MT10 compare to the GSXS1000 that you tested?

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Both really nice bikes, "for me" I found the GSX a bit easier to ride, the MT was a bit more aggressive maybe, but as I say, both really nice bikes.

[@ridewithjamal3356]

How’s the low/mid torque on the bike? I’ve mine on order I can’t wait!

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Hi, there’s tons, you won’t be disappointed, it’s a very impressive machine !

[@iancameron1188]

I agree. There seems to be MORE roll on power than my standard mapped’17 even with the smaller rear sprocket that’s on the ‘22 SP.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

@@iancameron1188 Ye, it's a hell of a machine eh, thanks for watching !

[@hemmexl]

@@iancameron1188 the MT 10 Generation 1 has more Punch at 6000 rpm. The CP4 Feeling is in Generation 2 more linear and less aggressive. I personally prefer the engineperfomance output from the Gen1 MT10. Best Greetings from Germany

[@pimvijgeboom8950]

Is the MT10 smoother in the lower gears then the Streetfighter V4?

[@joaosousa193]

Hi, when did the machine arrive?

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Not sure what you mean ? ... the dealer got the demo bike into stock a few days before I took it out (if that's what your asking ?)

[@psyfertech]

man I can't find these anywhere near me I live in Florida not sure what the deal is If its because of the chip shortage but none of my dealers have a single one of these or the standard mt10 and none of them can give me an eta or pre order one pretty crazy can't wait to get one though

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

ye, we're living in strange times at the moment aren't we ... it'll be worth the wait though !!!

[@psyfertech]

@@Carlshandlebarsandholidays finally got one the dealer I wanted to go to actually received one and I was the first call, I think I’ll go with the akro that’s about the only exhaust I can find for the 2022 at the moment they do sound good with a cat delete And man I’m in love with this thing very comfy powerful stable bike and I love cruise control never had that on any of my prior bikes

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

@@psyfertech that's great news, I'm so pleased your happy with it and yes the akro's the way I went on my 09SP and it sounded great. A great bike you'll have some real fun on, just remember "take care & ride safe" (well .... most of the time LOL)

[@psyfertech]

@@Carlshandlebarsandholidays Thanks yea good that helps me make my mind up on it. And I am having a blast with it so far, one thing I might do is get a custom seat its not terrible but could be better.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

@@psyfertech ye they probably do a comfort seat for it, (they do for the 09SP for sure), maybe check out a guy I follow on KZbin called "MotoUK" he's done a vid where he installed a gel insert into his seat, it looked pretty good to me 👍

[@FiestaMagician]

hows the heat from the sides?

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Can’t really say that I noticed much heat, but then it was six months ago which were the cooler months here in Western Australia.

[@gregschuette664]

Jesus man, a 1000cc naked @ 3:50 and the pass took like 10 minutes lol

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

In the middle of suburbia, in Western Australia, if you like your licence, it's the best way .... LOL thanks for watching !

[@888jackflash]

Internal CARRYING capacity.. as in, NONE. Nope, not even for a toolkit, which they don't even provide. This is a lovely machine that is crying-out for a GT version. Oh.. PS - I LOATHED those stupid Transformers movies.

[@Carlshandlebarsandholidays]

Yes I’m with you there, it’s something that seems to be regularly overlooked these days, just a bit of storage space would be lovely. Thanks for watching 👍

[@888jackflash]

@@Carlshandlebarsandholidays I do a lot of 300-mile days through the mountains of New York State. If a bolt comes loose or your chain needs attention, you MUST have a proper toolkit, because the nearest "bike shop" might be 100 miles away. PLUS- I would never leave home without a flat-fix kit, on any of my bikes. Don't ask how I know about this.. and No, a back-pack is not the answer.
