2022 Yamaha MT-10 Review | Daily Rider 

Read more about Zack’s thoughts on the Yamaha MT-10 on Common Tread! rvz.la/3y76zb3 And if your bike needs new rubber, check out Michelin! rvz.la/3dTERaR

Zack just needs to "Daily Rider" all the motorcycles out there and I'd watch every single episode of them. Then rewatch them again. 😆

I daily ride a 2021 mt10, they are absolutely incredible machines, sure they suck gas but nobody buys an mt10 because it’s the economical option. It’s because they want a monster that sounds better than any other bike. The amount of fun on you can have on them is just insane.

Major props on riding from the passenger seat.. that was cool!

27:54 “Yamaha built an engine and then it built a chassis and a bike around it"

MT-10 999cc, not a literbike, so.... appropriate first motorcycle! Sweet!

Thank you, Zach, for properly demonstrating how lane-filtering is very safe and practical for motorcycles, where and when lane-filtering is legal. California, Utah, and the rest of planet allow for lane-filtering on motorcycles. Zach, Ari, RevZilla, motorcycle community, lawyer-riders, legislators everywhere! Make motorcycle lane-filtering legal everywhere in the USA, please! People on motorcycles are getting rear-ended and crushed to death by massive vehicles! Save motorcyclists lives by allowing lane-filtering country-wide! It is safe, it is practical, and it saves lives!

Took MT-10 for demo ride last year only because it was the only one available at the moment. I really didn't care about it but, wow, what great bike it was. Surprisingly comfy and just great feel in every aspect. In some other life I would love to have it. Felt same about ninja 1000sx this year. But, in this life I can only stay in ADV world.

Zack It is worth it every time .So much joy and practical information on each bike . When you put yourself on the back of that super bike with your long legs up in the air steering with your lower body ; I almost lost it . Please folks don't try this at home ... It does show what a life time of riding will bring one on the skill level . Always a joy / Thanks Guy .

I live in Victoria Australia, there are litterly unmarked mobile speed camera vechiles randomly set up everywhere in Melbourne, and unlike other states in Australia, they don't need to give any warning or signage and yes you will get a fine in the mail for just a few km over the speed limit. So features like a speed limiter for daily commuting in urban areas is definitely a good feature. After all your eyes should be on the road not on your spedo constantly checking Imto make sure your not 2 or 3km over.

Love these videos - also, it's absolutely hilarious to me that I'm watching this in my garage next to my parked '22 KLR base model, lusting after the MT-10, & then Zach ranks the MT-10 below the KLR lol. I hear ya, I love it, I'm not sure I agree... but damn it's just funny.

In my dreams, there'd be a "Tracer 10"...

Zack. you are one half of my favorite duo of moto jurno's. The reason that motorcycles have shorter mirrors that look at your elbows, As far as I have deduced as a commuter that rides a lot at night, is so you don't get the lights of following traffics lights in your eyes all the time. I personally love this feature and struggle on bikes that direct the light at you, especially as the new cars have crazy bright lights. Love to here your feedback. Keep up the great reviews.

I had to work allll morning knowing this video was waiting for me when I got done. Thanks for the always entertaining and quality content. Cheers

Man, your reviews are tremendous. I love them. Came across your channel suddenly a hour ago. Made a subscription after 10 minutes. Nice tests, nice skill, nice voice, nice information. Love it

Always a great ride along. Zack gives a great informative review every time.

Love these real world ride to work tests!! For me they are much much better than track days etc...

I need that engine sound in my life. So good!

Whoever designed the front must’ve just got done watching the movie “The Fly” with Jeff Goldblum.

Great review thanks for the update on the 2022 model. I've been contemplating on upgrading to the current model from a 2018. I have to say I've been blessed and maybe a bit lucky to have the opportunity to own the first iteration of the mt10. It's been a great daily rider and I'm now loyal to yamaha the Mt series bikes, they've been a hit with me and my friends for years. This video makes me grounded in my decision to be comfortable considering on the new upgrade to the 2022/2023 . Thank you ! Have a nice day.

I’m always psyched when I see a new Daily Rider came out 😊

Thanks for this - was a big part of my decision to end up with my 2024 MT-10 - absolutely love it! Great video.

Love this channel

Haven't watched your reviews for some time due to exogenous circumstances. But I have to say, you are one of the very best! Thanks!!!

Best reviews in the biz, period...never thinking about skipping, fast forwarding or nodding off Zack's entertainment channel. I certainly have a totally different take on what bike would come out on top of the daily rider board though...If I'm on it daily and in lots of traffic and stop and go stuff all those bikes with 450 lbs. + weight and/or the higher strung race-bred engine designs would go to the bottom of the board.

Love yours and Ari's content.

That looks like a nice upgrade from my FZ6 !! Great video !!

Love the shadow at the start of the ride!

You got me good with the “NOOOO I DONT THINK SO!” - I’ll buy you a beer for that someday.

owww my fucking god I was looking yesterday to see if you had made a video about the new Mt 10 what a pleasant surprise to see you uploading one today

Bout time! Everyday I was waiting for this daily rider! Took a little longer than the others.

Best review. My dude just took a sharp right into a dirt road to test it offroad which I never will. Thanks.

Always look forward to these reviews even if they are of a bike I would never buy.

Love your videos and you plug for your own article! 😁

With all the good sound commentary, don’t forget the new acoustic intake holes added. :)

The one we needed most!

Another great video. I'd love to see you do a daily ride on a ZH2.

I've had my first gen since 17 and love it! Clip ons transform the experience along with pads and a tune.

Fantastic videos, but can you start putting the updated list in the description please? Keep up the awesome work. 👍

Nice bike. I had an 09 FZ1 and I thought that was a hand full with no electronics. Quite a wild ride. Every time I look at one of these I get the urge to buy one.

Great review mate, I had 2020 mt10 sp, great bike, I ended up switching out brake pads with sintered ones and put mirror extensions on it for better rear view.i still miss this bike,

Love my Fz10 to death. Everything besides the fuel mileage 😅

My motorcycle head hero - more content from Zach please

The Gen 1 is the best blend of simplicity, fun and cost. Toss brake pads, a rear shock (Stoltec valved Penske) and a auto blip and you have an incredible street tool with modern updates.

Speed limiters are ideal for sections of road works where there's a 50mph limit which is monitored by average speed cameras. Saves you from absent mindedly wandering up to 60 and getting a ticket.

Awesome as usual Zack! I have the first gen and love how fun it is and characterful! So how do you think the old bike compares to the new one below 7000rpm. Which wheelies easier? I've watched your review on the original bike several times, love it man!

I'm 100% the demo for the rider nannies. I'm not a massive fan of the dash (I have a 2018 GSXR1000, and I'm happy with that basic dash), but I like the rider aides. Essentially, I don't trust myself with that much power, but still enjoy experiencing it, so the extra peace of mind is crucial for me. I'm sorry that people like me are making these bikes less "pure", but I'm not sorry enough to stop demanding it. FWIW, I also have a 2019 MT09 and I would agree that the new MT09 electronics are perhaps an unnecessary extra expense in that case. But, the MT10 is a different animal, and I specifically didn't buy the last model because of the rudimentary electronics.

Loving the revamped lovers lane segments

I totally and completely believe that Zack's article is the best ever. And he pointing that out is just honesty. C'mon people.

how to nicely tell it is not for short riders, is what i wann learn from zack

Great review. Duff Man! I couldn't agree more.

My son watched the Simpsons with my wife back in the day I never was able to enjoy as they did yes, I was working most of the time when it aired, so my wife was a stay-at-home mom she has fond memories to this day. Thank you for your content.

I live in the UK. I wish all bikes had a speed limiter feature like this. It’s great. Most motorways (highways) around here are 70mph but they’re introducing all sorts of ways to catch you out including: * speed cameras every few miles * speed cameras during roadworks * average speed cameras during roadworks (usually 50mph and if you exceed that over, say, 10 miles, you get a ticket). Cruise control is great but our roads are too busy - ultimately you need adaptive cruise control otherwise you’ll be constantly turning it on/off/on/off as you ride. The speed limiter, therefore, is perfect, as it means I can set it to the legal limit of 70mph, ride normally with the throttle in traffic, and not going over the limit and worry about trigging a camera. That said, while I am generally in favour of speed cameras on smaller roads, I think it’s absolutely dangerous to put them on motorways as people keep speeding anyway but now just brake heavily for the cameras, and if there’s an accident and they drop the speed limit down to 40mph it means potentially I have to brake hard in heavy traffic to avoid getting a ticket. It’s dangerous, it’s stupid, and I feel extremely vulnerable in the car when I have to do that and it’s 100x worse on a bike.

Brilliant! What started out as a very run-of-the-mill review was saved, ney, elevated to lofty heights by your dirt trail excursion then the questions at the end: the 2022 MT-10 has emerged from the Octagon a bloodied and laughing maniacally, still drunk on Duff, runner-up to the SuperDuke - gets my vote! 👍

addicted to daily rider😍🤩

Had fun: absolutely. Love ur style.

Another excellent review! Could we get the regular 890 adventure as a review? Think that would make for another excellent review.

Gorgeous bike, great review. Simple!

The Duff Man impression is amazing 👏

Great review

Great review, thank you.

First time watching one of these videos and I'm a fresh rider.. With that said when he just hopped up on the passenger seat my mind was blown

Amazing. I was hoping you might have said Duffman.

This is the bike I want. It's basically a new version of my favorite bike my Honda 919.

Love the vids, now since you answered a question about the SDR it only seems fair that you do a Daily Ride on one, right?

Looking forward to getting one soon going for SP model.

That yellow truck at 9:28 scared the bananas out of me! Sh*t man!

14:24 I have the bike and live in Europe and, sadly, the speed limiter is not absolutely necessary but a good thing to have. This bike makes you go fast without being even noticed and there are way too many speed cameras here. All the efforts the government makes are to take as much money as possible from drivers so you must take real care with that. Great video as always! ✌️✌️

Zack could you please test ride the 22 MT 10- SP version , will love to hear your review before buying one, thank you Sir!!

Is first time ever on the daily ride the three coolest words I've ever seen a bike reviewer use power performance and wheelie capabilities Yamaha MT 10

I had the same issue with the mirrors, I fitted some 1.5 inch stem extenders I got from ebay, they're perfect now.

I've a 2018 I bought new and my fuel usage is so different from yours/this new model that it seems just crazy. I get in the 25's to 28's mpg in mixed riding situations. I spend so much time at a gas station compared to anything I've had in the past and, I've had many, many bikes. However, this is possibly my favorite to date having come off a 2017 Super Duke. I find the bike so comfortable with the addition of a sport windscreen and a Corbin saddle which gives both me and my grandsons additional leg room. I find the twitchy throttle much more progressive and predictable in lower gears compared to the Duke. I noticed they went for a jar instead of the lower profile metal front brake reservoir on this model (don't like) and got rid of some of the plastic embellishments giving the bike a cleaner appearance. I love my large black and white instrument screen and still have the stock mirrors for which I must pull in my elbows for a clear rear view. I found your last segment at the board just a hoot. It was as if a stand-up comic was holding back and presenting a well thought out summary . . . it was definitely so much fun to watch.

I’m 6’5 and this is actually a perfect bike for me being so tall..I bought a 2024 SP one and just put a full acrapovic exhaust system on it and is just godly sounds every where I go I get comments about how cool it sounds and looks..

As I watch this it's 2/22/23. I test rode a 2022 MT10 back in spring 2022. I wasn't looking for a video about motorcycles, but Yay knows me well 😉😉. Most of Zach's comments about the bike made me feel like I was Riding it again. Guess the a sign 😎

just put a set of Michelin pilots on my 07 st1300 had some suspension work done and a nice tune, rides and cuts the corners so amazing..... can't wait for a good Texas hill county ride....

90* valve stems can not be overstated.

Love my mt10 also if you get a corbin seat it makes the passenger way more comfortable plus it's softer on your bottom as well

Lover’s lane has evolved into Self-Love Lane, now with the power of automation (cruise control) and daring (scooting back on the passenger seat on a moving motorcycle)

"Now is the time where we see if the bike will wheelie". You've never uttered a funnier line. lol.

I love watching your Daily Rider Zak but I would love to see your opinion of any generation Busa on Daily Rider I haven’t ridden a gen3 yet but have ridden a gen 1 and own a gen2 which I believe to be the ultimate all rounder

It’s been a few days since I watched and I had a thought about the speed limiter feature. I’ve driven in Europe quite a bit and often you’ll find stretches of twisty residential roads with speed cameras along them- very unforgiving speed cameras. This feature would help if you know what’s coming and want to avoid getting a ticket in the mail, because without it it might be hard to keep the speed legal consistently

Thanks for the Daily Ride Zack! As a big fan of low down torque I'm disappointed to hear that the grunt is a bit soft at the low revs. Hopefully we'll hear about a flash that can fix things. How is the steering angle (i.e. lock-to-lock)? After owning a 2nd gen S1000R I don't think I can own another bike with a shallow steering angle... hitting the lock-stops when man-handing the bike at home gets too frustrating!

I've owned the older model MT10 for over 6 years and 32,000 miles. What an amazing machine. Not sure I've seen anything on this new bike that tempts me to 'upgrade' Looks I know are subjective but I just don't like the restyled front. Also if the fuel consumption really bothered me I wouldn't still have the bike. For me it's all about the crazy fun performance in a comfortable package affordable to the normal working person. Don't want any more electronics, don't want it geared up, don't want the quieter exhaust.

I'm surprised nobody commented but it looks like he tried to trick us up by doing a evening ride to work 😅 another enjoyable daily rider experience

MT-10s sound so good.

what a good review

Ain’t gonna lie. I was here for the wheelies (and you did not disappoint!) but there was a whole lot more and it was good. Also have to say I agree with the ranking (as far as “daily” bikes go) but the fun factor weighs heavier for me…just saying.

The color combination reminds me of my very first street bike, a 1988 Honda VTR 250.

That's why I spent a very pretty penny to completely upgrade my 2007 Suzuki Bandit. Who needs a new bike when you can get a super torquey 1250 4, with 150 on top (RWHP) which is right in line with these new bikes. Sure, you have to rebuild the engine with agressive cams, a tune, and increased compression, but it's unlike any bike I can buy now. A true analog bike.

The imu is worth it imo. I have the MT-09 and it’s possible the slide control saved my butt a couple times. It might have been me. I’ve been riding for a while and have some experience with a bike getting sideways. But that’s on cruisers with bias ply tires. So cold sport tires were new to me when I bought it along with wheelies. I’m not good at them but the lift control gave me a safety wall to learn how to be confident doing them. The traction control does interfere with them sometimes if you’re doing clutch ups. But it’s also not 100% fool proof. Every now and then you will get past it’s safety limit. So definitely don’t rely on it to save your butt all the time. I’ve heard of one person looping it on a power wheelie. Overall it’s still nice they’re there if you need them. Not everyone is as skilled as Zack Courts lol

I've had the previous model for 4yrs and almost 50k kms. Never let me down, still have a chubby every time I ride her

I've just upgraded from a 2016 MT09 to a 22 MT10. Still awaiting UK delivery. Ordered in March.

Maybe I'm just old but even the younger people I know that own sport or naked bikes hate how uncomfortable they are . After an hour most have had enough. Making a standard motorcycle that has all the power and a very comfortable seat should be an option . I am pretty much forced to ride either a cruiser or a touring bike because I go on weekend rides of 400+ miles which no one wants to do sitting on a rock

Just patiently waiting for the Kawasaki Z650RS daily ride!! It's potentially next on my list and I'm super curious of Zack's thoughts on it.

I have the 19 MT10 and I'm so jealous of that MPG.

When are you doing a DR episode with the KTM Duke 890?. The Duke 890 (non R version) looks like one of the best daily riders out there.

3:20 to me there a must have i always have a hard time doing the air on the front wheel because of the rotor so changing them out was something i did first tyre change

Yamaha's cross plane crank is to music to my ears.

I don’t own a bike, nor have I ever ridden one but I have absolutely fallen in love with this bike.

Fantastic review. Yamaha, if you're reading this, pull the trigger on building the Tracer 10.
