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.

The Speed Triple remains true to its line in the latest generation - a wonderfully sharp naked bike that characterises the streetfighter style like hardly any other model. It only makes limited sense for the racetrack - of course, the roaring three-cylinder engine with 140 hp is enormous fun and the Fafhrwerk shows no gross weaknesses, but there is a Speed Triple R with Öhlins suspension elements that naturally feels more at home on the racetrack. All in all, the Speed Triple S is an excellent country road fighter that also has a lot to offer in terms of looks.
