Yamaha MT-10 2017

Yamaha MT-10 2017

The Yamaha MT-10 exudes a lot of emotion with the cool CP4 engine, but also doesn't forget pragmatic utility. For a naked bike, it offers a lot of comfort on long tours. It rides fast but is still refined at all times. On the racetrack, the chassis is not precise enough to beat the other Powernakeds. Overall, however, it scores with its versatility paired with radical looks and awesome sound.

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.
