Many people don't like the face of the MT-10 but for that is the reason I love it. To me it has the not giving a crap of being not cute attitude because it is attractive already being the counterpart of the R1. It just looks so distinctive that makes it unique.
Just picked one up. After 100 miles or so.. absolutely love it. This is such a huge upgrade from my 2018 MT09. If your thinking of getting this, I highly recommend it. After some tire scrubbing, this bike is NIMBLE. Great in the twisties. And one heck of a power house.
The mt-10 is like a 130 lb lab that still doesn't understand its a full grown dogo. Just so happy and energetic. I love my '19 so frickin much simply amazing
OC: I still like the look of the older style more and would probably choose the older one but the tech and upgrades of the new one are top notch! I'd for sure need some time to think it out if I was given the choice to be given one or the other. It's definitely one of those "It'll grow on ya" kinda things.
Tip on Wiz Wheel: Don't push it in, push it up and in. Works way better and more smoothly. With practice, it isn't bad at all. Through ownership of 2 R1s I never figured this out, and fought with it every time I used it. I recently read this wonderful tip in a RUclips comment, and it works.
Same here. It's a lot more bike. I had the 16 MT09 Sport Tracker. I loved it and it got a lot of attention because of it's rareness but this new MT10 is an entirely different beast. Mines in Batman black.
Hey chase. I just purchased this bike. I personally don't care about the looks I think its fine, I bought it for the sound and the updated features but the more and more people hate on it, the more I love it.
OC... Just watching your last few videos on the MT10 has put me at ease, just bought myself a 2019 the same as yours, hopefully pick her up this week after trading in my MT07.
I hope they give this an update like the 2024 MT-09. That bike finally mastered the front end/headlight. The larger bulk of the MT10 would look great with a large Iron Man/shield head.
I have a new gen '21 mt09 that I haven't started modifying/personalizing. I found a screaming deal on a '18 mt10 last weekend. I'M SOLD! I bought it. If you're at all concerned about gas mileage, this bike is not for you! If you're more concerned with "smiles per gallon" rather than miles per gallon then you're good.
OC: I'd take the new, revised looks over the old one. Neither are my favorite to look at, but I like the reduced amount of plastic everywhere on the new one. Also, from some of the head shots during the moving footage, the new one gives off last gen R1 vibes to me.
@chaseontwowheels yours, it's curated and we know WBRG mechanics have probably had a hand in maintaining it. HOWEVER! That Gulf Oil style color scheme is POPPIN' on the 2022... could look at that all day.
Id go for a 2022 just because i have a 22 MT07 and I love the cyber sci-fi look of the headlight. I compare my MT-07 to the moto terminators from terminator salvation. Im a fan of the MT-10 head light it looks very robotic and is a nice change of pace compared to the round head lights most other bikes have. I feel yamaha is taking the leap and making it original very much like KTMs big alien head lights. Just my opinion. OC
I got my hands on a 2022 Mt-10 SP and man you have got to try one out if you get the chance! The new adjustable suspension is totally worth the upgrade and that does not even account for the steel braided brake lines and brembo master cylinder! Just waiting for my new exhaust now. Ride safe!
OC: The 2022 MT-10 looks great...need a comparison with the MT-10 SP. I Ordered a 2021 MT-09 SP August 3rd 2021, a 2022 MT-09 SP showed up at my dealer August 20th 2022. Apparently the San Francisco Bay Area is located in 'The Sticks' for Yamaha to take over a year to send out a bike. I pick it up Tuesday. I'm not a happy camper. (Gotta pay the extra prices for the 2022 vs. the 2021 also.)
You need to be quickshifting from 4.5k and above. Anything below that and it'll be clunky like you described. There's no problem, you're just not upshifting at the correct time.
OC Been riding my 22 SP for a month now and I absolutely love it. Only thing I’d prefer the old one is probably I felt the old one wheelies much easier like it wants to go up everywhere, the new one I had to really give it some
What suspension mode are you riding in. I found with mine when on A3 it didn't want to wheelie nearly as much as when in A1. I think A3 soaks up the power hit a bit. But in A1 with LIF/SC off its just as nuts as the gen 1. I've also gone back to a 43t rear to accurately compare to the gen 1 which in turn has shortened the wheelbase slightly.
@@TAR_MEDIA_AUS Interesting. I was in A3. I also rode mine on track too in M1 and it still doesn't want to wheelie, maybe the ohlins shock provided a lot support making it harder. I plan to try M3 next, that should be the easiest.
@@hipposnakeyo all I've done to mine is set the Preload for my weight and I ride in A3 or A1 depending on road conditions and find it really nice. I could probably stiffen up A1 a little more if I was on track with slicks but for the road it's great. Is there a reason you use the manual modes rather than the auto modes. You can still dial it in harder or softer in the auto modes as well.
@@TAR_MEDIA_AUS my local track has quite some alleviation changes, in Active mode I find myself not very precise with my lines, but in M1 it’s almost telepathic. On mountains I use A2, hit some hidden bumps that bounced my butt off the seats and I thought for sure I’d bent the wheels but it didn’t, I’m really impressed.
Picked up my 2022 MT 10 in Raven Matte Black 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my 2013 Stryker. 😁 Safe riding folks...
It’s still not doing it for me Chase! Ive owned a MT10SP since 2017 and the dash I’ve had for 4 years now, don’t like them leaving off the side fairings and also don’t like the way you can see the horn and steering dampener at the front. It did not need air ducts which basically your just hearing the Air Box induction more, much prefer the slits in the tank panels like the R1 and my 2017 MT10SP has. Every one has their own opinion but its not worth the upgrade from mine. Looking forward to the next revision 👍
Oc give me the new one. With all the upgrades especially the brake feel that every tester I ever watched or read said the old one didn't have good feel. The new dash is fire. Better mpg. If you dont like the front it doesn't matter cause you can't see it from the seat.
Definitely worth getting a Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder. Had one on my 2018 mt10 and works really well. You can just about use the original brake line as well if needed.
Did you notice the geometry changes? Had a '16 MT-10, was a good all-rounder for my needs. Currently have a Tuono though and miss some of the user-friendliness of the MT. Tuono handles better and the brakes are better, hence the question on the geometry changes... Thanks.
OC - I've been looking for my next motorcycle. Have a 2014 Triumph Street Triple 675 & Triumph Fanboy. I've test ridden the 2022 Triumph Speed Tripple and the Yamaha MT10. I like the MT10 just a smidge better. CHASE! Help sway me, smidge better isn't enough for decide 🙏
OC both amazing bikes; both hideous. I noticed that Yam only had the one colour for the demo bikes. Are there worse colours than that? Still, one of the greatest machines of all time. I just wish they'd paid as much attention to the looks as the sound.
@@reddpill The MT09 is lighter so that would make sense. But the MT10 has more power and a better chassis (R1 frame) so it may inspire even more confidence and stability through a corner 🤔
@@FadilKarim Well that was their conclusion. Also there's really nothing wrong with the MT09 chassis and SP suspension but like you said it's not a race bike version. Also, the MT10 drinks fuel like nothing else and is a lot heavier. It's a tough choice that's for sure because either would be good.
Did you ever checked for a different clutch that compares to the 22 ? Me personally I like the tail on the 19 . But I'm assuming the performance was the same or dame close , there was no mentioning of it or if you did I got distracted . Amplifier that's neither here nor there for me . I drive a loud tri axle I rather have it quieter thank you . A nice exhaust note I prefer a deep throaty note myself but for dollor for dollor I wouldn't up grade the 19 to 22 . Just my 1 cent since I got no sense.......
Great video. Bro, if you’re ever again in the North Carolina area, please hit me up. Love to take you on some other rides or roads. That’s what my channel is all about and you’ve been a huge inspiration for it. San San WRB Ducati monster. One reason why I have one. Lol thank you again for all your hard work
OC definitely going with the brand new MT-10 I personally like the look of the 2022 MT-10 Over the 2019 MT-10 Also, would you personally pick up the 2022 MT-10 over the MT-09 SP?
I had a 2018 MT. Great bike one thing that did annoy me was getting the seat back on was always a ball ache. Seat looks very similar, have they sorted the issue.
oc. I think it would still take years, because it has the innov system, the SC project, and power Commander. shoot, I'd take your bike on a cross country trip if you could find that DB killer for the SC project pipe.
As long as they insist on keeping that front end theme this will always be the almost perfect do everything bike. Therefore they will continue to almost get my money.
Best looking MT is still the current MT03 imo. Totally not biased since i own one or anything.... Tbh, the Yamaha naked bikes all look derper compared to their Sport bikes which are some of the best looking sportbikes imo.
Thanks for the video. I think I like the front side fairings on your 2019 model better than the one not having them anymore. I think it looks much better with having them.
I gotta have an mt10 don’t have many down in my neck of Georgia guess I’m gonna have to make alittle trip! Right now I’m commuting on my Yamaha bolt rspec which is ok but those look so nice ! I’m alittle long legged so an mt07 won’t do felt cramped when I sat on one.
I like the MT10 better. I couldn't come to love the somewhat wonky ergonomics or the horrid switch gear of the SDR. And the SDR did some weird and annoying auto throttle blip at 4,000 RPM on deceleration. Though the power was incredible, great suspension and brakes. Nothing on the MT10 really pisses me off though. The fueling could be better at the smallest throttle openings, but I can live with it as long as I stay in power mode 3. I can think about riding rather than particular annoying aspects of the bike, like with the 1290 SDR.
They should make an xsr 10 because this transformers look is.... An acquired taste
Good idea
That would be amazing. I'd buy one.
Crossplane spund AMAZING.
I don't know if my brain could handle an XSR 10.
I HATE IT SO MUCH
Nice seeing you again and riding with you mate! Looking forward to our next adventure and I'm collecting a MT-10 SP soon!
Just go ahead and bring your ass and your beautiful bikes to ATL so I can first ride um! Boom, adventure already figured out.
@@chaseontwowheels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
As an Asheville native, it gives me goosebumps seeing y’all riding up and down the parkway and through downtown.
Same here!
makes me shiver and a little drip drip in my pants!
I was like I know this road
Many people don't like the face of the MT-10 but for that is the reason I love it. To me it has the not giving a crap of being not cute attitude because it is attractive already being the counterpart of the R1. It just looks so distinctive that makes it unique.
Just picked one up. After 100 miles or so.. absolutely love it. This is such a huge upgrade from my 2018 MT09. If your thinking of getting this, I highly recommend it. After some tire scrubbing, this bike is NIMBLE. Great in the twisties. And one heck of a power house.

I think the old model looks better. They did the headlight dirty like the rest of the lineup.
Man, that CrossPlane engine sounds so good, even with the factory exhaust/cat. A decent aftermarket exhaust system would make this thing sound killer.
Just picked up one of these beasts a week ago. Absolutely love it. Upgraded from a 2016 fz-09.
Same here. It's a lot more bike. I had the 16 MT09 Sport Tracker. I loved it and it got a lot of attention because of it's rareness but this new MT10 is an entirely different beast. Mines in Batman black.
OC I’m going for the 22. Improved dash, MPG, looks, quick shifter, brakes. Heck yeah! I wouldn’t kick either out of my garage that’s for sure.
'22 for the win.
As a 2018 SP owner, I'm looking forward to you luring one of the new ones away from Yamaha and hearing your take on it.
Hey chase. I just purchased this bike. I personally don't care about the looks I think its fine, I bought it for the sound and the updated features but the more and more people hate on it, the more I love it.
OC... Just watching your last few videos on the MT10 has put me at ease, just bought myself a 2019 the same as yours, hopefully pick her up this week after trading in my MT07.

I hope they give this an update like the 2024 MT-09. That bike finally mastered the front end/headlight. The larger bulk of the MT10 would look great with a large Iron Man/shield head.
I owned a 2017 Model for two seasons. I did not loved the style , but i loved to ride it. For me , the new one looks much better !
I absolutely love my MT-10SP. Such a good bike.
Always swap my bike master cylinders for radials, with braided lines makes a massive difference.
I have a new gen '21 mt09 that I haven't started modifying/personalizing. I found a screaming deal on a '18 mt10 last weekend. I'M SOLD! I bought it. If you're at all concerned about gas mileage, this bike is not for you! If you're more concerned with "smiles per gallon" rather than miles per gallon then you're good.
You were in my stomping grounds Bruddah. The L.O.D. and myself R.I.P. them roads and many more over this way!
Had mine for 3 weeks and a absolutely love it!
I like the headlights and front end. It looks like an angry “Johnny 5”
Excellent review - previous version to new version - thanks

Good thing MT-10s are quick
Triumph gunned for the MT-07 with the Trident, now Yammie is clearly after the Speed Triple with this bad boy!
OC
I’d take the 2022 it has the features that stop me from getting the older ones lol
yes to everything but that front headlight the old one was so much better
I've been seeing a lot of MT models on the road lately. They look better in person.
Have a 2017 Fz10. Love this bike to death!

Safe riding folks...
Great video mate
love this machine awesome material from Poland
Where's that waterfall? I'm wanna head there next Saturday
The catching of your boot could have been your heel on the passenger peg mount 🤷🏼♂️ it happens to my right foot due to foot position
Love it, Yamaha is doing great things. The MT-10 is no exception, and quite the bike. Makes me want to get down to NC to ride my xsr900.
Love the content bro ! Keep making it !
OC and I would pick the new one every time.

Compared to the Ducati street fighter v4, which do you think (without concern for budget) is better?
Definitely worth getting a Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder. Had one on my 2018 mt10 and works really well. You can just about use the original brake line as well if needed.
OC-I'm on board for the old-school 10; it's ready to do what I need (though bring baffles for the exhaust).
OC: new one hands down. That intake opening thing is soooo cool. Hope you get a long time loaner for the shop!
OC: Both like but like the coloring on the 22
No side bags for the 2022 MT-10. Tracer 1000 on the way?

Curious if you'd go for the MT09 SP or the standard 2022 MT10 for a few $$$ more?
Some of the German reviews of this comparison said the MT09SP was the better buy as it was more agile.
@@reddpill The MT09 is lighter so that would make sense. But the MT10 has more power and a better chassis (R1 frame) so it may inspire even more confidence and stability through a corner 🤔

Also, the MT10 drinks fuel like nothing else and is a lot heavier.
It's a tough choice that's for sure because either would be good.
Just wondering if any of these "press bikes" are broken in or just new bikes get thrashed.
New one for sure i seen what the mt09 is over the old one and its way different im sure the new mt10 is the same way
What ear protection do you use?
Will the lift control stop one from looping this bike?
Did you ever checked for a different clutch that compares to the 22 ? Me personally I like the tail on the 19 . But I'm assuming the performance was the same or dame close , there was no mentioning of it or if you did I got distracted . Amplifier that's neither here nor there for me .

@chaseontwowheels so do you still like?
the 22 XRS more
Anybody getting Johnny Five is Alive vibes. Or am I too old and making Shirt Circuit references?! Ha ha ha.
Does anyone know if the ECU is easily accessible in this year model like previous years??
You got it in power 3?? isn't the full power mode!!!!
I love it. I'd love to see more of the new MT10!
Can you compare it to the z1000? Which have more real world torque?

That’s what my channel is all about and you’ve been a huge inspiration for it. San San WRB Ducati monster. One reason why I have one. Lol thank you again for all your hard work
OC definitely going with the brand new MT-10 I personally like the look of the 2022 MT-10 Over the 2019 MT-10
Also, would you personally pick up the 2022 MT-10 over the MT-09 SP?
Will you be comparing it to the new xsr900
I had a 2018 MT. Great bike one thing that did annoy me was getting the seat back on was always a ball ache. Seat looks very similar, have they sorted the issue.
Shouldn’t the 2023 model be coming out? They have the 2023 R1 listed on their site already.
My wishlist
Xsr900 black
Mt10
R1
Hope you enjoyed NC! Especially knowing this is your favorite bike
OC - 22’ SP please!!
OC and I’d pick the new one
oc. I think it would still take years, because it has the innov system, the SC project, and power Commander.
shoot, I'd take your bike on a cross country trip if you could find that DB killer for the SC project pipe.
OC: newer is always better, as a shorter rider 5'6, 30 inseam is the 22 taller?
Where’s that located, I want to buy an mt07
Is mt10 a cp or Inline engine?
Now that you've ridden both 2022s what's a more enjoyable riding bike, xsr900 or the mt10? I've been debating between the two for months!!
As long as they insist on keeping that front end theme this will always be the almost perfect do everything bike. Therefore they will continue to almost get my money.
Probably the best bang for your buck 1 litter naked bike.
Best looking MT is still the current MT03 imo. Totally not biased since i own one or anything....
Tbh, the Yamaha naked bikes all look derper compared to their Sport bikes which are some of the best looking sportbikes imo.
Thanks for the video. I think I like the front side fairings on your 2019 model better than the one not having them anymore. I think it looks much better with having them.
Yo @Chase! What gloves are those fam?!
How does it compare to the street fighter v4?

Which do you like better? 1290 Supertorque or MT10?
I like the MT10 better. I couldn't come to love the somewhat wonky ergonomics or the horrid switch gear of the SDR. And the SDR did some weird and annoying auto throttle blip at 4,000 RPM on deceleration. Though the power was incredible, great suspension and brakes. Nothing on the MT10 really pisses me off though.

Cool bike not a fan of the teal green though
