Yamaha MT-10 SP / Review /  

I’ve had one for almost a year. I’ve used it for touring (with Hepco & Becker panniers). We did about 2,300km in 3 days, effortlessly. Cruise control and the comfort seat make it easy. When this gen 2 first came out, I thought it was the ugliest thing I’d ever seen, but now I don’t even think about that front end. I kind of like it, but once you fire up the engine and start riding, all else can be forgiven. It sounds phenomenal with a full titanium Akra system.

Great review. I would have bought one if it didn’t have such a hideous insect looking front end. One of the best sounding engines out there today.

i have a 2023 mt-10 sp and im in love --- i still have not exhausted it yet -- put 4000 miles on it last summer

Im Yamaha guy i admit it. Still riding my 2009 Fz1 96 thousand miles on her. Runs like new i really like the MT10 , Im retired naked, sreet fighter . Hell i fell in love with this style in the late sevnties . The bike that started it all Honda CB seven fifty. God im old.

GREAT BIKE. I'm looking hard towards 2025... Will Yama-Mama CHANGE THAT UGLY NOSE.. and also give us DUAL low-beam headlights? This is a safety issue in the US, as well as a big aesthetic problem.

I have had one a year and it does everything really good . Flashed ECU and Akra exhaust and it's 🎉🎉r💯😎❤️🤪

Great review !👍

Upgrade the break pads to track / road...

I miss the looks of the previous generation :/ That headlight looks like it belongs to another bike. Superb production on this review though!

Nice bike to be sure, but when the sugar coat is removed, these newer MT10s with Euro 5 emissions really feel and sound neutered compared to the previous editions. My previous generation, bone stock would turn heads everywhere I went. Even just pulling out of a gas station it sounded wicked and pissed, like it was looking for somebody to F-up. It would loft the front in big stupid power wheelies on the highway on-ramps. The whaling sound could be felt in your soul. Unfortunately I sold it and got a new one. While the engine feels and sounds more refined, and the intake does have a "nice" note, that raw angered sound and the explosive power in the lower gears of the previous gen is just gone. Honestly the new one was somewhat of a let down.

Great review. Effortlessly cutting out all BS info and keeping it real.

I can only speak from experience but for the US market, a base Tuono V4 of the same year is cheaper than this SP model but more expensive than the base MT-10. This MT-10 SP model is however cheaper than the Tuono V4 Factory.

Great in depth review of a nice looking bike. Not too sure if it would be suitable for touring, and I just can't get past the headlight configuration. But then again, if we all loved the same thing, wouldn't the motorbike market be pretty boring.

Does it have electronic steering damper ?

Is it suitable for a rider that is 188 cm tall ?

Who in their right mind is buying this bike and saying thank god they put a speed limiter -_- how bout the comfort seat from the factory and the taller sport windscreen at an 18K+ price point for a naked !

I ride with my brights on during the day... and low beam at night. For common sense reasons

It’s a fun bike, even in regular form. I just didn’t like gold or silver…I’m different. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Sales pitch, thats all!

omg shut it and just ride the thing.

That front end🤮 ugliest headlights ever. Bloody shame can't fault anything else

Don’t know why this review referred to the MT10SP having carburettors (soon after the 8min mark), it’s always been fuel injected. 😂
