Yamaha MT-10 2016

Yamaha MT-10 2016

The short and stocky MT-10 is the furthest away from the R1 superbike of the renowned power naked bikes, both in terms of looks and chassis, but the heart of the MT-10 is directly descended from the racetrack weapon and fascinates with a uniquely raw sound and power from below thanks to the typical crank pin offset, which, with a modified firing order, ensures this unique character. The resulting 160 hp therefore only seem a little weak on paper compared to the more than 200 hp of the R1, in reality the MT-10 also ignites incredible fireworks. The suspension would probably be too soft for the race track, but it is just right for a country road fight, and the brakes do the same - probably only acceptable for the track, but perfect for the country road.

Those who have to watch their money even in higher price ranges are better off with the Tuono V4 1100 RR than with the Factory version - because it offers less: The chassis is only slightly less sensitive than the more expensive Öhlins components of the Factory, but offers a little more comfort on bumpy roads and the narrower tyres (190/55-17 on the RR instead of 200/55-17 on the Factory!) can tip the scales in hairpin bends. The RR version also has the harmonious V4 power plant that gives so much pleasure. All in all, the "cheaper" Tuono can still do more than many of its direct competitors.
