Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-10 2022

Yamaha MT-10 2022

The new MT-10 is a really successful evolution of its predecessor, but remains completely true to its character. The new electronics package with a 6-axis IMU is a blast, all features are so well coordinated and work so well together that the rider is optimally supported by the electronics in every situation without being overbearingly patronised. The rest of the components in the chassis and brakes are completely in order and the Mad Max-Brachialo style look has been toned down a little in direct comparison to the predecessor, but still remains unique and clearly recognisable as an MT-10.

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
