Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-10 2016 compared to Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017
With the SP version, the MT-10 becomes cooler, more desirable and, thanks to the high-quality chassis, better. The semi-active suspension from the R1M is the best in the naked bike league. Highest quality and best function in combination. The chassis also excites on the racetrack. Nevertheless, the MT-10SP is not a racing machine, because the seating position is not active enough for that.
