Yamaha MT-10 SP / Review /

[@MrDeepseadweller]

I’ve had one for almost a year. I’ve used it for touring (with Hepco & Becker panniers). We did about 2,300km in 3 days, effortlessly. Cruise control and the comfort seat make it easy. When this gen 2 first came out, I thought it was the ugliest thing I’d ever seen, but now I don’t even think about that front end. I kind of like it, but once you fire up the engine and start riding, all else can be forgiven. It sounds phenomenal with a full titanium Akra system.

How many miles (range) were you getting on a tank before you filled up?

[@jamesmclaughlin3460]

Im Yamaha guy i admit it. Still riding my 2009 Fz1 96 thousand miles on her. Runs like new i really like the MT10 , Im retired naked, sreet fighter . Hell i fell in love with this style in the late sevnties . The bike that started it all Honda CB seven fifty. God im old.

[@firehouse6226]

Remember when the Kz 1000 came out? Yeah, those days.

[@wutterputter]

i have a 2023 mt-10 sp and im in love --- i still have not exhausted it yet -- put 4000 miles on it last summer

[@vincetuscano]

refreshing, no-nonsense biker talk. got me glued til the end. amazing work! thank you for this

[@motogeo]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review. I would have bought one if it didn’t have such a hideous insect looking front end. One of the best sounding engines out there today.

[@frankfeng6199]

That's what I thought too, but after riding my buddy's, I bought one It's like my other friend says, you don't see it when you ride it! One of the best bikes I've had, tuono, sdr, sfv4s, rsv4, s1000rr, etc

[@frankfeng6199]

But you're right, it's ugly as hell 😂😂

[@pistolpete6321]

@@frankfeng6199 thats a great point, you don’t see the front when riding. I’ve owned 2 Tuono’s and they do it all and look good too!

[@888jackflash]

THANK YOU. There is NO REASON for that horrible nose... and especially that single low-beam light (everyone nearby yells that you have a bulb out). FIX THE NOSE, YAMAHA, and I'll buy one.

sooking about a headlight Assembly aha get a grip boys

[@SirMountainpass]

Upgrade the break pads to track / road...

[@williamfacenda7057]

I have had one a year and it does everything really good . Flashed ECU and Akra exhaust and it's 🎉🎉r💯😎❤️🤪

[@timrichert]

I miss the looks of the previous generation :/ That headlight looks like it belongs to another bike. Superb production on this review though!

[@guitarbuzz]

Great review. Effortlessly cutting out all BS info and keeping it real.

[@leanit5756]

Nice bike to be sure, but when the sugar coat is removed, these newer MT10s with Euro 5 emissions really feel and sound neutered compared to the previous editions. My previous generation, bone stock would turn heads everywhere I went. Even just pulling out of a gas station it sounded wicked and pissed, like it was looking for somebody to F-up. It would loft the front in big stupid power wheelies on the highway on-ramps. The whaling sound could be felt in your soul. Unfortunately I sold it and got a new one. While the engine feels and sounds more refined, and the intake does have a "nice" note, that raw angered sound and the explosive power in the lower gears of the previous gen is just gone. Honestly the new one was somewhat of a let down.

[@williamfacenda7057]

Great review !👍

[@garyhope0103]

Great in depth review of a nice looking bike. Not too sure if it would be suitable for touring, and I just can't get past the headlight configuration. But then again, if we all loved the same thing, wouldn't the motorbike market be pretty boring.

[@garyhope0103]

@I_am_Thursday thanks for that info, I also use motorways as little as possible, so it sounds to me it would suit my needs even more. Totally agree with cruise control almost a must when touring.

[@JDelta87]

I can only speak from experience but for the US market, a base Tuono V4 of the same year is cheaper than this SP model but more expensive than the base MT-10. This MT-10 SP model is however cheaper than the Tuono V4 Factory.

[@cuzimaluzer777]

Yeah I caught that too.

[@888jackflash]

GREAT BIKE. I'm looking hard towards 2025... Will Yama-Mama CHANGE THAT UGLY NOSE.. and also give us DUAL low-beam headlights? This is a safety issue in the US, as well as a big aesthetic problem.

[@Motosportnut]

Automatic

[@justintimeforbrownies5246]

Who in their right mind is buying this bike and saying thank god they put a speed limiter -_- how bout the comfort seat from the factory and the taller sport windscreen at an 18K+ price point for a naked !

[@A.J.1656]

With a windshield, it wouldn't be naked anymore. Haha It would be cool if they gave it the comfort seat and the actual Brembo calipers.

[@clintmaldonado-v6f]

I ride with my brights on during the day... and low beam at night. For common sense reasons

[@XVENDETTA100]

Does it have electronic steering damper ?

[@gryphongryph]

Is it suitable for a rider that is 188 cm tall ?

[@thrillerusa]

Absolutely

[@frankfeng6199]

I'm 188cm (6'2") and I have a 22 mt10sp. It's fantastic, one of the most comfortable (sport) bikes I've had

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

It’s a fun bike, even in regular form. I just didn’t like gold or silver…I’m different. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

[@maldridge7630]

Sales pitch, thats all!

[@prezo1975]

That front end🤮 ugliest headlights ever. Bloody shame can't fault anything else

[@RBFR01]

omg shut it and just ride the thing.

[@A.J.1656]

It's a review. lol

[@brendanelliott1676]

Don’t know why this review referred to the MT10SP having carburettors (soon after the 8min mark), it’s always been fuel injected. 😂

[@gmphilebar]

It was a figure of speech
