Yamaha MT10 review. The best motorcycle you can buy?

Yamaha MT10 review. The best motorcycle you can buy? This motorcycle has to be the most brutal bike I’ve ever ridden. It has more power than you would ever need. Have a look around the bike with me then stay for the test ride.
Big thanks to ‪@WiganYamaha‬ for letting me borrow this amazing machine.
Big thanks as always to ‪@OxfordProductsLtd‬ for keeping me warm and dry on this cold wet day.

Very nice 😎great job 👍😎👍 what a machine!

[@GillyBikes]

They are amazing Kev. 👍

[@dmac7660]

So true. I have had an MT10 for a few years now and the 3rd and 4th gear gut punch still satisfies. Wheelie monster.

[@GillyBikes]

To date this is the most fun I’ve ever had on a bike. 😍

[@FreedomRider1982]

I just came across your channel in my feed actually. I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future ; keep up the great work and ride safe out there.

[@GillyBikes]

Why thank you 😊

Hey man great video! Do you know if the mirrors can fold in? Thanks in advanced!

Just upgraded from a 2016 MT-10 to a 2023 MT-10 SP and let me tell you, the extra money for the SP is definatly worth it. The Öhlins suspension is just that amazing. I live in Norway with even worse roads than in the UK but i put the bike in thr A-3 setting and everything is lovely. Blazing thru the twisties on a bike that is both comfy AND razor sharp is.... wow! What a bike, Yamaha`s second album is even better than their first and the SP is a masterpiece

[@GillyBikes]

It has to be one of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden. I have no complaints other than I don’t have one. 😭

[@JJPelszynski]

I’ve got the new XSR900 and I certainly cannot handle any more than that! This machine is pure wickedness 🔥

[@GillyBikes]

Absolutely. I can’t wait to have a go on the XSR900. I’ve heard good things.

[@Ozwigan]

Excellent review in my neck of the woods 😄

[@GillyBikes]

Cheers. 👍

[@postersm7141]

I have the exact same bike same year. I could not agree with you more. It is completely bonkers and out of the 30+ motorcycles that I’ve owned over the years. This is probably my all-time favorite.

[@GillyBikes]

I’m not jealous at all 😭. Quiet possibly the most fun I’ve ever had on a bike. They are amazing. Stay safe 👍

[@fatange]

Now that’s a proper bike. 😍

[@GillyBikes]

Isn’t it just. It’s a beast!

[@grahamgillespie6923]

I love this bike. Definitely my favourite

[@GillyBikes]

Absolute animal of a bike

I was an early adopter of the original MT10. Still own it 7 years and 32,000 miles later. Still have my licence, I'm still alive! See the 'empty' 10's fuel light was flashing. You get used to that every 100 miles. Sorry, but Yamaha lost the plot when they restyled the front. It's awful, and it's what stops many from buying what is otherwise a great bike. Yamaha also removed the nice plastic side frame covers but left the cable holes through the frame. Just looks unfinished. My bike was also under £10K new. it's way more now. My advice is to seek out the best example of the old model for proper raw excitement. Serviced correctly and looked after they are totally reliable

[@GillyBikes]

I 100% agree with that. The front end in particular the light set up really doesn’t look good. But when your sat on it you can’t see it. 😂 it is one of the most fun bikes I’ve ever ridden.

[@Banditmanuk]

@GillyBikes It will wheelie off the throttle at 90mph, it sounds brilliant. It's comfortable for bigger guys. Best bike I've owned in 42 years of riding

[@silviafreitas5184]

Hopefully I will buy my MT10 this year ❤🙏 🏍

[@op6362]

It’s a brilliant bike. I’ve owned mine now for 6 months. Extremely happy with it. If you can get over the odd looks, you’ll be on the most capable machine for the money. Yes.. you can go get a European built naked, it will be just that bit better, but you will hate yourself for paying that much more for something with the maintenance intervals of a needy gf. Nothing sounds as good as a V4.. except Yamaha’s CP4. That’s just as good for me. Proper sound.

[@GillyBikes]

I totally agree. One of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden. Possibly the most fun you can have on 2 wheels.

[@dg8062]

I have a blue '18, decat/exhaust and ecu flash. You can pick them up pretty cheap if you're patient. I got mine with 1k mi for $9600. That's more than a deal but those deals are out there through private party. It is an absolute animal but I get about 25mpg after mods. That is normal....my hand is in it more often than not👍

[@GillyBikes]

The acceleration is addictive I would be getting low mpg as well. Ride safe buddy.

[@johnhernandez6434]

I’ve had my 21 MT 09 for about a year an a half. Fully modded and tuned with a full Akra exhaust and absolutely love it, especially in those corners. But I feel like I want a little more weight and stability in those turns. The speed on the mt 09 is great but when getting to those higher numbers that front end really is light. I love to wheelie also. 😉. That’s why I’m on the fence with the MT 10. I’m really leaning towards that purchase.

[@GillyBikes]

The MT10 does feel like a bigger / heavier bike and it loves a wheelie. You need to test ride one to be sure. If you do test one though you will definitely want one. It’s just like the MT09 but on steroids!

[@johnhernandez6434]

@@GillyBikes yea I went to the dealer and sat on it and pushed it around. Well balanced. I know I would love it. There’s also a 22 Tuono V4 1100 for 1500 dollars more. Not the RR or factory but still nice. Just maintaining an Italian is more expensive.

[@dougiequick1]

one 'word" XSR900 ....an MT09 with Tracer9 swingarm (literally same p/n) over 2 inch longer than MT problem solved ....If that part did not cost a FORTUNE and cause problems with existing suspension that might be an answer but I am guessing it would be an expensive can of worms, the funny thing? The MT 10 also has a short wheelbase! Where does it get it's stablity? Just the estra girth? But the Tracer9 is even heaver than the mt10 yet Yamaha felt it needed the longer arm more than the MT09 does? Maybe they wanted to keep the 09 "playful" as in wheelie prone etc?

[@johnhernandez6434]

@@dougiequick1 and the funny thing is that the MT 10 has a slightly shorter wheelbase than the MT 09. I’ve never ridden the MY 10. I’ve been on my buddys 2019 Aprilia 1100 RR and absolutely loved it. It’s about the same weight as the MT 10 but of course more horse power. I just figured even with the short wheelbase of the MT 10 because there’s more weight it would feel so light on the front end even at straighter pulls. By no means have I taken the 09 to its limits in hitting turns but it handles them pretty well. I just have to stay very throttle conscious or put it into a higher gear. Maybe a test ride would help.

[@JDevlinAccySide]

Happy belated Bday pal 🤙

[@GillyBikes]

Cheers mate. Was a great day playing out on this beast.

[@hawkslayers1]

i had a mt10 sp 2 years ago its a great bike but honestly i just bought a mt09 2023 sp and its alot more fun not the same power but you have fun in bend/and wheelies are well naughty officer🤕

[@GillyBikes]

I’ve reviewed the MT09 sp. That’s a great bike as well. It feels smaller but still has loads of power and much easier to throw around. Ride safe.

[@lucasramon1632]

Olá amigo, qual nivel de experiência em motos eu tenho que ter para ter a mt10 na sua opinião?

[@GillyBikes]

Everyone is different. I’m sure there are some people that could ride this bike after passing there test. However there are some that may have been riding for years and they would kill themselves on this bike. It’s all about having the restraint not to ride it like like you have a death wish

[@sugarrfree]

Name of the video should be ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTE 🤣👏

[@GillyBikes]

I’ve never said absolutely more than this. This bike had me lost for words 😂

[@reddpill]

Shame Yamaha made it a touring bike based around sales in the UK, instead of a real naked R1 with handling like a Triumph street 765.

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

How was city riding, clutch pull? Cheers 👍🤪🇨🇦

[@GillyBikes]

It’s was nice to ride. It didn’t matter fast or slow. It’s such a great bike. They only thing I didn’t like was the front end. No complaints about anything else

[@dougiequick1]

The headlight looks? I mean ALL modern LED era naked bikes have ugly fronts compared to bikes with a fairing....no one has come up with anything yet that I think actually looks nice. Having said that the latest MT10 is no uglier than most I mean it has to have headlights so at least they are not HUGE bug eyes of earlier Triumph speed triple naked bikes! THOSE were hard on the eyes! I think a windshield mounted on the MT-10 makes it's headlights look fine ....and that would be the one mod I would do anyway if nothing else ....maybe some handguards for wind protection too? Ones with turn integral turn signals so I can get rid of the original front ones that fall out if tapped at all

[@GillyBikes]

I’m with you on the lights. I never liked them when they started doing them and I still don’t.

[@TheRadChadDad]

Needs a bigger gas tank and better range, but definitely a sweet bike.

[@GillyBikes]

The way it drinks fuel I totally agree 👍

[@dougiequick1]

I tried to hang with an older MT10 (edit it was an FZ01) on my Tracer 9gt in fast twisties but he was gone after a few turns. I THOUGHT my tracer was nimble enough to make a difference but the few straighter sections he just gained seconds each on which added up to disapearing from view .....agggh! I HATE that! lol makes me want to either buy a more nimble lighter MT09 or just an MT10 or take a road race school like Champs...I mean its not a race on the public roads I dont try to pass anyone unless waved by but still ya knw? Getting left behind can be demoralizing! Ruin your morning for sure! Id rather ruin someone else's morning hnestly lol

[@GillyBikes]

That’s exactly how we all feel. Nothing worse when you can’t keep up. It was only a few years ago I had a Kawasaki Vulcan s. That could not keep up with anything. After being overtaken 50 times on a trip to Scotland I came home and traded it in straight away. 😂

[@thehobbyguy]

You cant imagine how extatic I am to be the new owner of this bike

[@GillyBikes]

Having ridden one I can imagine how your feeling. Be careful and enjoy. 👍

[@bailey9r]

"It feels a little bit chunkier...(voice goes up an octave) but but not in a bad way." hmm sounds like a conversation with an old girlfriend ;

[@GillyBikes]

😂😂😂 my voice went very high pitched riding this one. It’s absolutely mental. 😂

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

Yeah the new MT10's front is just hideous. They better go back to the previous design or lean more into the R1's design.

[@GillyBikes]

It’s the lights for me. They just look weird!

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

@@GillyBikes Not weird. Fugly. Still if I were to get a new bike tomorrow, it'd be the MT10.

[@GillyBikes]

I was being polite 😂 still an amazing machine.

[@gillykids8446]

That looks to fast

[@GillyBikes]

Fastest and most fun bike I think I’ve ever ridden.

[@Pommo70]

It does make me laugh, people coming on to the MT10 reviews with the “MT09 is better” and “MT09 is more fun” - what a load of bollocks! The 10 is a superior machine in every single department. The 09 is a good bike if you can’t quite stretch to a 10 or if you don’t think you can handle the power but there’s no comparison to be made here.

[@GillyBikes]

The MT09 is good but the MT10 is a weapon! I absolutely love it.

[@Pommo70]

@@GillyBikesit’s gonna be my next bike. Unfortunately I have to wait till next year before I can get it 😂

[@GillyBikes]

@Pommo70 it will be worth the wait
