Great review. I owned both generations of the FZ1 which was the first R1-derived naked Yamaha among way too many other bikes. Then I left the sport for about 15 years. When I re-entered, I thought I should start small, so I bought a MT07. Rode that for about 1000 miles then sold it for the MT10. I definitely agree it's too much bike for an absolute novice but if you're used to larger bikes you should be ok. It's hard to go down in displacement once you've had a lot of seat time on larger bikes.
Great bike. I traded my 21 MT 09 for the 23 MT 10. A totally different machine. I absolutely love her. For longer rides and sweeping turns, nothing beats it unless your going to Aprilia or Ducati
The MT10 predecessor, Yamaha FZ1, had the R1 engine tuned for more torque with a bit less horsepower which is what works better on the roads. I had an 09. No electronics or assists. Often did wheelies and broke the rear end loose in corners. It was a great naked bike with a small faring that was nice on the highway.
I like the MT-10 but man the new front head light is ugly its my only complaint about the bike because i realy like it the way the bike respond its very torquey and fast thx for the review and ride safe.
Fueling is WAY better! You can ride everywhere in Power 1. The snatchiness and bump induced throttle inputs are pretty much gone compared to the old bike. It doesn't have the instant hit that the old bike had though but for me it's better for it. I never rode my '16 in anything other than standard mode unless at the track. As for the clutch, it's average compared to other bikes I've owned... It's been too long to remember the '16 clutch action. The brakes definitely don't have the initial bite compared to a Tuono or S1000R. Apparently changing pads helps, which I'm yet to try.
Good report, but there is no way this bike comes near "200 horsepower". Cycle World did a dyno run on a stock MT-10 and they got 135. Which is still pretty punchy. Over here in the US, we have many loooong highways and yes, you DO want a larger motor. You'll get blown around and bullied on a 600.
MT10 SP is for everybody that wants comfort with speed, best suspension teamed with my favorite engine makes it a great all around street machine!
I'm running a tiger 900 gt pro a my everything bike. I'm wondering if an mt10 with a windshield and luggage could be my next upgrade.

He shit himself at 2:15 when the front wheel came up lol
Now I want to get an MT-10 again 😐

What’s not to love? ❤
Old gen the vest value. I got a '18 last year with 1k mi on it for $9500 here in the US. Flashing the ecu on these is a must for so nany reasons.
Ton of bike for the money used. I bought the new one for the IMU. And as polarizing as the front ends are, I prefer the new one.
I got a 2018 with 8400 miles for 8800 and am still stoked about it! Best money I’ve spent in my life
It's for me. Going to get one. Just not sure the SP is worth the extra $3000
Hey sir where are you from you are driving the mt-10 on the right hand side of the road and stay safe where you are from
Compared to the ‘18, how is the fueling, throttle control? Is the clutch pull the same or more refined? How about brake feel? Nice vid. 👍🤪🇨🇦🏳️🌈
