Nicely done Chad. Some good upgrades I suppose it's a lot more attractive for a new buyer. You get a lot of things and the price is right. Whether it's attractive for last-gen owners to upgrade, I'm doubting.

Mt10 is cool and all, but the mt09 is where it is at. The extra weight, power, and cost just aren’t worth it.

@@GordonFreeman. I agree especially for a daily. For all out power it may be fun. I had a B King back in the day and can appreciate something with bonkers amount of power haha

Great review thanks Chad. The big question went unanswered...if you had a previous model MT-10, should you trade it in for the new one?

The only real answer will always be : depends on your wealth. The more wealthy you are, the more often you can upgrade. Anything else is bullshit.

I just cant agree with the style this model year, I think its a downgrade in that aspect, so I will skip and stick with my 2017 mt10.

I'm waiting for a YZF-R9 or R10 with ˜100-150 bhp and sporty but not racing ergonomics. Also Yamaha - if building such a machine try to remember that you have potential customers that stand over 6 feet tall and would like to ride said machine for durations over 45 minutes

[@twowheelpilot]

100% agree. ALL modern bikes are way too small. It's like they're getting hit with a shrink ray gun.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

@@twowheelpilot ADV bikes are better for tall people.

[@sergiooliveira1127]

I was in a conversation with some Yamaha guys, and they told me that Yamaha is not planing to bring the R9 yet, or even at all... Yamaha mechanics, developers and other staff usually have to study the upcoming models to better deal with them, and for 2022 and 2023 there is no R9 on their studies (I don't really know how to explain the "studies" but they have to basically introduce themselves to new bike models so they can sell them, repair them, know how they work, build them, etc etc etc). But basically their explanation is, "the current motorcycle market is focused on Tracers 700/900 and the Tenere, being R's a very small market not worthy to invest at the moment". They do have the R9 patent, but no intention to build it anytime soon. (Sorry for any bad English).

The mt10 is the most badass bike ever. I have a 2020. Looks awsome, rides awsome. 👌

[@davidoram3423]

What about a touring edition? If I were to upgrade my 2020 model, would I be able to fit my Hepco pannier brackets? There's no way I would upgrade and have to junk my existing panniers and sport-rack with tail bag. I'd either keep the bike and spend a lot less on a suspension upgrade, or simply change brands - SDR for instance.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I'm like some folks, I'd like an XSR1 (or XSR1000, whatever they would want to call it). But I will say it's less ugly than before. Glad they addressed fuel economy at least somewhat. Will have to see what real world gets. I had a '11 FZ1 fully un-corked with 150 whp peak, it got 37 mpg (US) just about no matter what, also had a 4.75 gal tank.

[@dg8062]

De cat link pipe and flash and my '18 mt10 gets about 25mpg. That's making huge pulls, riding it hard! Considering I got it about 4 months ago with 1100 miles on it for $9,800, I'd consider that pretty good. That extra money I saved buys plenty of premium.

[@calvinevans8305]

I just did the 600 mile break in oil change. I love this bike. My first mod will be a new seat. Yamaha makes a comfort seat for it but you can't find one anywhere. I'm getting a Sargent seat. Later, I might get the mid pipe and computer flash done so I can hear more CP4 music.

[@tigerbalm666]

Love the colors! Unfortunate that I can't enjoy sports bike since I cannot flatfoot on them...looking to get back on a Triumph soon.

[@michaeljohnson2922]

The basic Street Twin is such a wonderful fitting machine.

[@senpaikamotemoto9362]

Hey, over the past few months. The looks of it is starting to get on me.

[@sosmotorcycles]

I don’t ever do burn outs just because I’d rather use my tread either cornering or practicing wheelies. But if buying tires isn’t an issue smoke em if you got ‘em I suppose

[@thecornishbiker9323]

I wonder if you can swap the front lights and stuff for the old ones. Not keen on this new look

[@Tefloncoated]

Like what they have done and good review. I think its good you cant turn TC off whilst riding. Imagine accidentally turning it off whilst riding and throwing yourself in the bushes.

[@Banditmanuk]

Its nice, but as an owner of the previous model I don't see enough to make me change. I don't use the electronic options I already have so don't see me wanting more. Styling has to move on and this is OK but not an improvement in my current owner's opinion. Be interesting to see what supply of new MT10s to dealers will be like. The couple I've spoken to won't get as much stock as they want.

[@Bornie205]

Good review. Not bad changes but simply not enough to tempt me off my SDGT

[@GigachadAKM]

As much as I love that cross plane, it would be a step down from the Super Duke.

[@Tijmen.W]

Tbh I really don't feel anything for the 6 axis IMU and all the other fancy stuff.... Haven't missed it at all. Its almost 2024 and I still LOVE my 2017 MT-10 SP! Tip for Gen1 riders: Buy an Gen2 comfort seat! It fits the Gen 1 perfectly (yes I know they tell you it doesn't and I don't know why either), looks great and is more comfortable than the original seat.

[@elvisthewart670]

Got the 2022 model in this colour it's got the s22 tyres great grip but only lasted 2700 miles since put rd 6 on hopefully last alot longer

[@leanit5756]

I am still breaking in, in the 600-1,000 mile 2nd half of the break in. According the computer, I'm getting 32 MPG (US gallons), while essentially staying below 7,100 RPM as directed in the owner's manual. I got about 35 for the first part of the break in staying below 5,900 RPM. So on track I would expect maybe mid-twenties, and probably high 20s to low 30s once broken in and "driven normally". That said, I generally don't ride highways Iike a commuter might, or putter around town... I ride for fun on back roads.

[@kugangles9860]

That bread box cat is massive. No wonder why these bikes are running so hot/lean these days. Thanks Euro 5.

[@RichardASK]

I'd have found it more useful, if you'd have talked about some of the items I have on my 2018 MT10. !/ Does it have a comfort seat? 2/ Can you get the screen? 3/ Can you get the hand guard/protectors? 4/ Does it come with a guard for the radiators(oil and coolant)? Can any of these items be transferred from my 2018 MT10 to a 2022 MT10?

@@hendrxx_ Spending that sort of money on a bike it has to look good as well. This bike divides opinion. The new one is better, but it still ain't a looker. Shame Yamaha don't produce an XSR 1000 with more traditional styling for us oldies. I think they are missing a trick here.

[@markthomson4420]

Hi Chad, have the fixed the infamous Yamaha engine tick?

I’m stuck between a 21 09sp or a 22 10sp. About $4k difference. Better brakes and computer driven suspension adjustments. A shit ton more hp too.

It’s a weird thing these Yamaha Ergonomics. I’m 50 and stand 6’ tall. The MT-09 fits horrible, the MT-10 fits pretty well but the MT-07 is one of the best fitting most comfortable bikes for me. It makes me wonder what Yamaha is trying to do with these ergos. Regardless, Yamaha makes superb machines.

I can't say I've ever thought my MT10SP needed more electronics. What is this obsession now days with so many electronics? Half the time I switch them off completely or dial them way way back. There is alot to be said for "just going for a ride" Oh and one last thing. Wheelie control should be banned. That's like an anti fun valve. Sounds like something Honda would do. ✊🤨

[@MyMednas]

You can ride exactly like that today because you'll never know it is there. Except now you don't have to wash out the front end in a panic stop and you don't have to high-side and break your neck because you goosed the throttle a bit much on corner exit.

Sure you can turn all this electronic nannying off but the point for me is I don't want or need it AND most crucially it's making bikes very expensive and out of reach for a lot of potential owners. If a 1000cc bike is too much to handle without electronics then pick something smaller!
