Yamaha MT-10 SP 2023

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2023

The MT-10SP is a beautifully made naked bike. It has placed the exact right ingredients in the right places. It rides comfortably and gets really fast when needed. Basically, it is designed as a country road bike, but is still fun on individual trackdays.

Really great ride comfort

Great balance between sportiness, practicality and ride comfort

Fantastic engine response

Sensitive and practical chassis

High-quality frame including magnificent swingarm

Wonderfully relaxed seating position

Cool but not annoying sound

A real nakedbike

On a racetrack excursion, the bike seems a little too comfortable in the end - this is due to the inactive and comfortable seating position

the front looks a little lumpy

the brakes are good, but still seem undersized on such a top model - there's more to be done.
