The 2023 Yamaha MT-10 Is A MONSTER 

Check out my other reviews I've done ru-vid.com/group/PLC0dZgVosHtsxPvzkIDswjw2YjCVodY6Y

I owned one of the very first MT10's back in 2016. I've still got it now with 31,000 miles on. It's never missed a beat, not a single issue in 7 years. Such an exciting bike

I'm a proud owner of a black older version and I love her even more than the first day I rode it. Capable bike for everything, may be a bit thirsty but perfect bike in my opinion. Sure it's a perfect third bike in your garage.

These are incredible bikes, especially when you factor in the price and the bullet proof reliability. Brakes get better being bedded in. And a possible fluid flush including the ABS system gets you the rest of the way. I'm constantly bleeding my friend's brakes on brand new bikes and getting out an insane amount of air. Something to consider. Earlier MT 10's had pretty bad brakes but Yamaha seems to have sorted this out now. But what a bike. For what you get for the amount of money these costs, it's hard not to want one.

Bought my MT-10 new in 2019. Now on 30k+ miles with daily commutes, week-long tours, track days and riding in all weather, all the time. What a bike. Sintered road/race brake pads restore a lot of initial bite and feel-the stock pads are shocking. Rear suspension is set up soft from factory, so (correctly) firming up preload, damping and rebound makes the front end more planted. Super reliable, agile for its size, fast as hell, and a crossplane howl to die for. No plans to sell any time soon…

I bought a 22 last October and I absolutely love this bike.2016 R1200RT is for long trips with the wife.both bikes are fun in different ways.

The MT10 is great! Can't go wrong with the MT09 either as a naked bike they just feel incredible to ride.

I love crossplane sound a lot! PS brakes will feel better once they brake in 😉 SP makes huge difference then you can adjust suspension settings on the go and has much more settings for your needs definitely suggest to get it.

Had mine for a while now. A set of brake pads in the front fixes the brake feel and a good break in. The SP is nice but the stock suspension is quite good. I did a Penske rear shock on my 2017 but that was not even necessary.

I just picked up a 2023 MT-10 in that same color scheme and love it so far. It's amazing to ride, getting the ECU flashed tomorrow to unlock it's full potential...

All I did to fix my mt10 brakes was to switch out the pads for brembo streets. Changed the feel instantly. ‘20 model. 👍🤪🇨🇦

I have an all black 2019 I bought new. You reminded me about the brakes. They got a LOT better after padding in. I solo tour mine with Shad luggage and a Madstad windshield. It is my little pal and I love it so much. But it is also frustrating because I’ve traded bikes every few years for a long time, and now, this bike is so good, I can’t justify leaving it. 🤔 The dark side is its ferocious power at higher RPM. This bike is for “mature” audiences only. 😅

How do the brakes compare to your 701?

Nice video! Just sold my modded out 2018 MT-10 and already miss it. I grew up in WV riding dirtbikes and streetbikes there on all the curvy roads, and it was a blast! Moved here to TX and bought the MT-10 and it just wasn't the same riding on mostly straight roads. The MT-10 is definitely a great bike though!

I rode over 20,000 miles on a 2018 MT10SP through every weather condition going and around Poland for a couple of years The bike never missed a beat. Apart from a few finishing issues caused by electrical cable routing and few plastic clips breaking I couldn't fault it . I kept it completely standard engine wise except hoses and brake pads. Mirrors were the only thing I didn't like as they weren't wide enough to see behind you properly. Great video and video's!

Outstanding review. Yamaha put all their bikes on a weight diet. The result is fun fun fun. All the reviews I have seen for the MT-10 and MT09 have been awesome. I completely agree about the far superior ergonomics of a naked, standard rider triangle, bike. Just so much less work and so much more fun to live with. I sat on a MT-09 in the dealership and it felt like it was made for me. I was laughing it felt so perfect. Light as hell too.

The brakes are new and have a coating on them you need to burn off. R1 as well. The wheel on the right controls you need to hold in for 5 seconds to open the menu. Yes, it has cruise control.

I'm currently on a 2022 Z900! I was also looking at the Z1000 but the MT-10 has the technology that I'm looking for. When the time comes and I like what I see with features and design, I'll get an MT-10.

I just traded my Hayabusa in for this bike 3 days ago. I'm getting too old for the sportbike riding position. I love the sound of the CP4 engine, the standard riding position, the tech, and the easy maintenance. This is my favorite bike so far. My first street bike was a VFR800 from 2002. Nothing beats the thrust of that 2008 Hayabusa. I'm so happy with my Yamaha MT10. I'll keep it for life.

One of my all time favourite bikes.. great on road and awesome on track

Tester Schaaf of 1000PS TV has selected the MT10 as his bike of choice for a major tour from Austria to Sardinia island (3’500 kms) based on the power on tap and the comfortable riding position 😎🏁🏁

With the accessories catalog you can turn it into a sweet little solo tourer too. OEM windscreen and side bags or a top case. I'm thinking of trading in a S 1000XR for one. I'd go standard also for the black version. In 5 years I've used dynamic suspension setting twice, road is still plenty stiff for most riding.

If I would take the SP version which makes totally sense for that bike! As it also has the Steelflex brake cables which should make at least a bit of a difference and the SP have the electronic suspension if I remember right. Or you take the new S1000R. Which should be an allround great bike. Not sure if you had the new or the older model of the S1000r as you said in the video.

I've got a '14 FZ-09 with some power adders but I want an MT-10 so bad! Cruise control, comfort, power! What more do you want?

Also started on 1000 supersport, which I adore and still own. I agree with what you said about rather getting something more upright and light weight. I bought a street triple as a second bike a year later and most of the time that's the bike I tend to take out for a blast.

I rode the 2022 last year at a demo event and fell in love. Yesterday I just traded in my 2021 Kawasaki Z 900 RS café for the 2023 MT 10. Oh my God I’m in love. There is nothing about this machine that I don’t like with the exception of the mirrors and that’s an easy fix. The machine is an absolute beast!!

I bought my 2019 MT-10 as a second motorcycle after having a DR650 for a year. I’ve had the mt-10 over 2 years now and still fall in love every ride. For the power, reliability, electronics and comfort idk if someone could get a better bike for the price. I bought mine January 2020 for 11.7k it’s the previous gen so it doesn’t have as much electronics but I like it that way. What a bike Yamaha has created for a decent price is all I’m trying to say 🤙🏽

How do u compare this with the new s1000XR taking account mostly the sport riding and total fun and thrills that those bikes give and ofc taking account also the amount of money these machines have..thanks in advance

I have the 2017 FZ10 with a competition werkes exhaust. Thing is an absolute beast to hear and a pleasure to ride.

Planning on getting the SP currently riding R6 but I want a up right bike, the MT10 will be ideal plus the crossplane sound is awesome!

LOL grew an inch?? Previous reviews you say your're 5'9 and now you're 5'10 Very impressed

+1 on cruise control, Greg. 👍

I did the same thing went for a 1000 cc 2002 fz1 for a first bike and was a wrong choice. I wrecked it in a corner the first month I had it. I wish people would listen to what we have to say it's to much for a beginner. Thanks for this video I'm about to buy a mt10 very shortly. I'm 42 and love the upright stance.

I've bought six bikes there... back when they were South Bay Motorsports. Ted and I went a long way back. I visited del Amo when they took over, and they seemed way to cold and corporate. Am I wrong?

I ride a 22 MT 10, with an ecu flash and a few other mods. Hands down the funnest bike I’ve owned for solo riding. No need to ride ridiculously high speeds to have a blast. Enjoy if you buy one.

got 2018year version, prev was mt-09. In love with mt-10 dream bike.

You liked this a lot more than the GSXS you owned? The GSXS seems to hard to pass up @ given the price point

I have a 2018 and put quite a few miles on It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Everyone hates the front, but I think it looks like a Transformer. Unusual, but I kinda like it.

another review said the SP suspension is more compliant on the street, which is a + for me. i think it widens the range of operation for the bike vs a static setup.

They DO have an all black version of the MT-10!

Since you brought up learning how to ride. I firmly believe dirtbikes are the way to go. You really learn how to become one with the bike. You learn situational awareness and how to deal with a ton of obstacles. Also when you crash it's more forgiving.

Damn Greg grew an inch overnight, yesterday he was 5'9". lol

hi, just a real newbie here... so is it OK to shift up & down without the clutch ( see it around 4:20)???. DO I have to lower the throttle rpm??

I'm sorry but did you do a test ride from a dealer in CA? Unheard of here in LA county.

How would you compare this MT-10 to the GSXS 1000 you used to own?

Make please the review for new Yamaha XSR900. It's really interesting what opinion will you make about it)

I have had the squishy go away when you break in the pads in my Versys 650. Wonder if after time they would get better.

I know a lot of people griped about the last gen's looks (I love it) but this looks like a huge step backwards. My next bike will be an MT10, just one before 2022. I guess the upside is I'll save a ton because ill have to buy used, silver linings.

I sat on one when o bought my 22 gsx. They feel amazing. Almost to it for a ride.

Horsepower, torque, engine configuration, top speed, modularity, wind protection configurability, baggage configurability, aftermarket options, recommended modifications, price range?

Upside of the MT10 SP is the steel braided brake lines, Ohlins auto adjustable suspension and a belly pan. On the downside it only comes in one color scheme.

if you keep the MT-10 under 7500 its a pussycat above the bike opens up I think its a good fun bike one thing I struggle with is the engine braking I dont know if the engine shuts off under decel or what Moore Mafia flash block off plates it runs and sounds very nice I also brought the forks up per Dave Moss still stable at speed tips in quicker now I have several bikes the MT-10 is my favorite

Just found an all black one for $11,899 NEW! Going in tomorrow to work out details on sale. Can't wait!

LMAO!!! Fast Eddie grew an entire inch from when he rode the Kawasaki Zx 10r !

Hello to everyone Im planning to order one like this mt10 so im interested does someone have experience with a passenger, how is the comfort for both. I know that mt09 is terrible for that question. Thanks a lot

I have an '18 MT-10. Decat with Moore Mafia ECU flash and its sublime the power and sound! Only downside is mine only has QS up not down. Amazing fun bike! Want a new SP tho lol!

It has a speed limiter too. got mine last November in Tech black.

Hi Greg! I really suggest you to try the new Triumph street triple 765 RS before you go for MT-10! Less power, but smoother triple engine and very refined parts. Greetings from Hungary (EU)

@motojitsu how is the comfort on this bike compared to the Zx-14r? Everyone always talks about how “comfortable” the Zx-14 is, but is it comfortable for a sport bike, or just plain comfortable?

enjoying the videos thanks you. If you run out of big bikes to ride maybe show us your take on the ninja 650. race bike look, naked bike comfort, and what i hear is perfect for the street not to much and not to little. Thanks to you I have became a rider with many tools (some i wish i never have to use) I use daily that make riding to much more enjoyable.

The 21 mt09 was a great beginner bike for me. I Will be adding a 23 MT10 beside it here soon.

MT-10 as your next bike? I'm having flashbacks of your unhinged rants after getting rid of your GSXS1000...

What a beast...I love it. *Cries in broke boi*

I started on a Hawk 250 then the Duke 390 now MT 07 and might get the Rebel 1100t as my 2nd for more comfort

Is there plus and minus against the MT09? I am looking for an MT09 SP but should I be looking for a MT10?

Could the reason the breaks feel soft be that they aren't bedded in yet?

I have a 22 mt10 and have to say it is one of the most exciting bikes but also the most well rounded sport bikes I've ever owned . It constantly wants to give you more and has been such a reliable bike . Would def recommend.

I’d seriously have to get those rims painted

I've been riding for 45 years, and over the last 5 years have had to make some serious changes. The first was I had to get rid of my ZX-14R, I hated to but it was just too hard on my neck and knees. It was OK though, because I still had my GoldWing to cruise around on, comfort with cruise (I call it ticket control) and a decent stereo. Unfortunately my knees and ankles finally said ENOUGH, time to get rid of the 850 pound beast. I was starting to get scared at stop lights about catching that much weight, I've abused my body a lot over my life. So, one of the toughest decisions I've made, last month I sold the Wing and got a 2023 MT-10. The seat could be a bit more comfortable, but the riding position is great and it handles like a bicycle compared to the Wing. I don't know that I'd spend the extra 2 or 3 thousand for the SP model, the standard MT is expensive enough. My short list was the Honda CB1000, the Kawasaki Z900R, and the MT-10. While I was making up my mind the Kawasaki sold, so that narrowed my decision down. I decided the electronics and cruise control on the MT-10 were worth the extra $$ over the Honda. The bike is a blast to ride, I never thought I could be comfortable on something as "small" as a 1000 but so far I love this bike. Oh, and mine is the solid black. One other complaint is the rear view mirrors. I have very broad shoulders and I couldn't see anything behind me, but my view of the lanes next to me was fine. I went to a set of bar end mirrors and that made a huge difference. It's nice to see that the car coming up behind you isn't stopping, or the car behind you is a cop. This bike will get you in trouble quickly!!! The quick shifter is better than I could have imagined, and once the brakes bed in they are superb.

Why the heck does the R1 not have a fuel gauge?

Such a great bike but I just can't get over that front. Hope the aftermarket comes up with SOMETHING. If you put an Akra on it you'll be rewarded with one of the best motorcycle sounds today.

It's crazy how cars used to always have cigarette lighters in them

apparently better pads make a huge difference with the feel. steel braided lines may make a difference too

So Ed watches R1 videos so realizes he should slate the brakes even though all the other reviews say the brakes fade after two or more laps on a race circuit, not two laps of the local parking lot.

I get far more low back pain with a naked 🤷that up right position kills me, far more comfortable with more weight on my wrists.

There's something to nakeds that's always visceral. Wind blasts apart, naked always ups the ante..

I would love to see MT-07 too if they do have it.

I came here because of the new Lego Technic Yamaha MT10 SP. due to be released Aug. 1, 2023. My current real bike-KTM 890 Duke (non-R). Nice vid. Enjoy and stay safe!!!

Sesame Place! You live in Chula Vista?

Ever check out the KTM nakeds?

Im a Ducati guy, but love this gorgeous beasty.

"Let's play some cool music while we walk around"....plays the sound of a dying Llama

You should wait for those CB750 Hornets to come out, unless you want a liter bike. I've been hearing great things about the new engine.

They do have an all black one…same color I want

I always advise anyone that truly is just starting out on motorcycle to get a very small dirt bike and learn to ride in the dirt even a 100cc single could be PERFECT. Everything your body learns on that little bike is directly applicable to larger heavier bikes the ,main thing is MUSCLE MEMORY where your BRAIN is unconsiously learning to reverse throttle twist and apply brakes to stop ....cause that HAS to become automatic and by all means take motorcycle courses! Of COURSE! But practicing with a small dirt bike can up ones confidence and ability expotentially faster than anything else I can think of! a little race track after you have built confidence can REALLY improve your raw riding ability fast also... something about trying to go faster is not only addictive fun but it really starts your brain learning the physics of it all.

Lol love your choice of cool music

I get that people think sportbikes are uncomfortable but I personally don't ride a motorcycle to be comfortable. If I want to be comfortable I get in my car. Currently own a hayabusa and can actually ride up to 3.5 hours no problem. I do want to test ride a naked bike or cruiser tho

I love the colors.

Z900 looks way better but the sound of the MT is too good.

I am surprised you didnt audition the BMW S1000R. BMW S1000R and S1000RR both have cruise control.

Did my safety class in that parking lot you rode to ha!

Probably the only inline 4 bike I'd consider for street. But I wouldn't have one over my 22 Tuono V4 Factory.

Yamaha’s CP4 is the truth bro I love my R1

DO A VIDEO LEARNING MOTO GYMKHANA STYLE OF RIDING!!

Own it for 6 months.Its a monster

My dream bike is a MT07. But I need to ride my Ninja 300 a lot more to justify purchasing another bike.

The front looks like a sad walrus. Sick bike tho

Great bike
