Yamaha FZ-10 (MT-10)|| BMW S1000R Comparison 

Awesome video brother... I test ride the both of them but bought a 2017 S1000R in March. For me that come out on top by a lot...ive had s great year if fun on it. Hope you have had a great year too. Oh and I've hit ur sub button man 👊👊

My type of video, well put together on fantastic roads.

great comparisson! cheers

have had both, would definitely reccomend the 1kr if you have the scratch. s1k is just buckets smoother. only complaint I have about the Beemer is if you have lazy body position above 100 it can get a little shakey. both great bikes.

Have the MT-10 I have been looking at reviews around these two bikes. I found the MT-10 much better down low after a ECU Flash and can. I gained 10 h/p in between 4500rpm and 7500rpm. About the same in torque by doing the Woolich race tune. B mode is very sensitive on them. I enjoyed so thanks.

Hi CNcycle, thanks for going to so much effort producing this vid. Well done. I noticed you were working hard on the twisties as your breathing increased on the MT10. Can I offer a small gentle idea. When you go through the corners I did notice you tend to sway left and right after the apex to get back to the centre of the lane. Can I suggest moving your body across the seat and kissing the inside mirror more as you use the outside of the lane on the approach and exit while hugging the corner at the apex? It gives you much more rhythm and irons out the corners considerably. Starting wide helps you see thru the corner for longer and then apex late with a good lean in, then leave the corner wide again but don’t bring your weight back if the corner turns in the same direction as the last corner. Stay with your body weight out. It will make it much smoother and easier. If the road at the furthest most visible part is lifting it’s generally opening out and you can accelerate but if it’s visually dropping into the terrain it is a closing corner and you’ll need to trail break a little to gently wash speed off for the tightening corner. Sorry to tell you how to suck eggs dear bud but it may help a little. Good luck and loved your vid. Thanks.

My first bike staring out was a 2003 FZ1. I went through a street triple and a klx400. Now I have a 2018 S1000r. It's a great bike but I would probably like an MT-10 as well.

I bought the Fz10 and the fz09 for my wife I considered the bmw but having had a Yamaha cruiser for 4 years with no issues made my decision to remain loyal easier. Love both bikes and don't feel like I miss any performance or features on either.

Great review, thanks!

Don't be so self-conscious. You did a great job providing useful info for the average rider. Truth be told, this will likely be my next motorcycle, so I appreciate the vid. Cheers!

After falling in love with my FZ1 the FZ10 will be my next bike. 😁

Always was wondering what the FZ-10 would be like. Oh, and I like your non professional, every day, average rider reviews :) I feel like these types of reviews are more helpful to the people that just want to hear how the bike is to ride, not just listing all the specs. We can read those online or at the dealer.

Great review, even though it didn’t feature “whiz-bang jisery”! You are spot on. Perspective on what makes a great bike is completely subjective.

Did you completely skip B mode on purpose?

Good review. Honest. No BS

The cross-plane or cross-plane is a crankshaft design for piston engines with a 90° angle (phase in crank rotation) between the crank throws. The cross-plane crankshaft is the most popular configuration used in V8 road cars.

put it in b mode the throttle isnt snachy its what you call power man up use its power, turn down traction control. if you think theres no torqe in it why does the front wheel lift in 3rd and 4th gear.

Man, are you Devon Stack? Your voice timber is just like his! Even the intonation!

Nice vid, how is the seat height to pegs feel, are you cramped? I got a chance to demo ride the bmw s1000r a couple of weeks ago, I think it is a phenomenal bike, torque on any gear at any speed :) felt light to handle, and turn. Even great on the highway highway

So did you get it out on a straighter road and open it up? How is the transmission and the vibrations? Was it fun to ride?

When you never made any money on RU-vid, you don’t care about Adpocolypse.

A fair assessment. As you said, all the bikes are so good these days, just go for the one that suits you best :)

great review bud..im not a big fan of the FZS...i like yours and the tuono

Awesome roads! And all those numbers mean very little compared to how a bike feels so great real world stuff! Shame about the snatchy throttling. I'm with you on the naked bike thing mate. Love a me nice 'ugly' bike! Might be worth a comparo with my 11yr old FZ1 to see how much, if anything, they've improved.

Hello thank you for the amazing video! Defianitly subscribed. So I have a question I am 26 years old and just finished saving money for the past 4 years to buy the 2018 yamaha MT 10. My question is I have never ridden a bike and will attend a motorcycle riding class in a few weeks then on buying the MT10 by the beginning of June so my question is do you think it would be a first bike for a first time rider? Thank you and thanks again for the video!

For someone 6‘4 which one would be more comfortable? I sat on an s1000r today but never a mt10.

Throttle ratio is what you mean … Great video CNcycle

B standard is the smoothest on FZ10 I really like mine from sport riding, commuting, touring and it does everything well. The cons if any the fuel mileage is not so good and it could be smoother but I came from a Honda CBR1000RR which was so smooth. It has tons of accessories and goodies you can add I think you get more out the motorcycle instead of being so focused on one thing.

Tested both quite extensively before choosing the BMW. The MT is more upright, more agile, better sounding, no vibration at all and come with better headlights. picked up the BMW because its better to ride on track, has cruise control and heated grips so I can ride more.

im with you all the new naked bikes are great but im 6.3 and the fz10 fit me the best

The local Ducati dealer? Do you have the same problems we have here in SA....seems so

What is the reason FZ In US and MT in Euro?

I'm another one not really into the transformer thing. Respect to Yamaha for their bold approach tho

I hope you try B mode! OR Beast mode as we know it. I just sold my FZ10 and seriously miss it but like the review, hoping u go to B mode

I thumbs down but then I gave it a shot , ....this isn’t a bad review . Nice job 👍🏼

Name of the first song use in intro?

Grew up on that road.....Cheers

Thanks for the opinion. I'm having a hard time deciding between the S1000R and the MT10. This is a good video, but hasn't helped, lol.

I don't know why guys have to stick fz in "A" mode, all the modes deliver 100% power. In fact most guys that own them ride "standard" or "2" mode because fueling is much better. Of course a competent flash smooths out the fueling massively.

Great video CNCycle. While this is may be an old youtube review, for mine, the BMWs1000r is a much better bike all around. As you say it all comes down to subjectivity & what moves your soul.

Can you do another review on a open road and be on B mode!

If they make this in a white/black color scheme with a color dash......SOLD!

@9:53 "pronvidence" Liked. . Animals well represented

I find it funny when people complain about "bad brakes" on the MT10. You people obviously have never ridden a cruiser :D I did a test ride on the MT10 this May and my first impression was that the brakes were very solid.

Can you elaborate on your iPhone mount? Or even a review. Ride on.

1:38 bahaha! I fully intend to replace my 2013 MTS1200 with the Yamaha this summer. Great minds think alike!

Dude. Maccas does not make good coffee. Come to Australia. Best coffee on the planet. Love the hills in Glendora. Rode them 30 years ago and would do them again in a heartbeat.

I have the SP version, the brakes are fine.

I had the same comment - no low end balls. Got back on my SDR and almost shot off the back 😂

I love both of these bikes but I just could not live with that brake fluid cylinder wobbling in my face on the BMW. This is the only reason I would not buy one atm. May seem petty but it does my head in and is very distracting.

ebc hh pads sort brakes out change power mode and its a lot faster uk bike mt10 are 160bhp herd in some places they restriked power

Okay I cannot take your opinion seriously after I heard at 10 s into the video you said: McDonalds makes a good coffee. Done. Bye

yeah.. still dont know what to buy :P

BMW beats it on looks, power. Quality, and riding dynamics!

2nd gear the fz 10 will do a back flip out of the turns.. to say it has less go than the BMW while you're crawling along isn't a good comparison 🤷‍♀️

Litttttttle

Honestly not only because of the money but I just wouldn’t buy a bmw or any of those hyped up brands

Put it in B mode. Not A mode. Come on man.

Cross plane = different firing order :( Lots of hype for simple shit
