Even the standard MT-10 is a very universal motorbike that can also be used for extensive touring thanks to its superb engine tuning. With the Tourer Edition, the motorbike becomes a refreshing sports tourer. The add-on parts offer high quality and you can "tour" comfortably and unpackably sporty up to a speed of 200.
