Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-10 SP inspires with a high degree of perfection combined with a truckload of emotion. Rarely do Japanese manufacturers succeed in penetrating so deeply into the domain of Europeans. The bike rides very nastily when needed, but can also be used quite civilly in city traffic. On top of that, the electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension provides a lot of riding comfort. All in all, an outstanding all-rounder that can do much more than just look bad.

Unconventional sound

wonderfully punchy engine

high-quality chassis and suspension

acceptable wind protection

surprisingly comfortable seating position

Traction control and ABS not dependent on lean angle

shift assistant not flawless and without blipper

high price
