Yamaha MT-10
2016 YAMAHA MT-10 REVIEWS
One of the most eagerly awaited nakedbikes of all time had a lot to live up to when it arrived Down Under earlier in the year.
More than once a 1000cc nakedbike based on a sportsbike sibling has being dumbed down too much. The early images leaked to the media often get us all revved up, only for drooling potential customers to be let down by a conservative version of what could have been…

The controls fall to hand well but some look bulky. The amount of stuff that has to fit on a left switchblock these days is crazy. The dash itself is great and after spending a few minutes fiddling around I get the hang of it. Not too bad with just the three power modes, ABS and traction control plus cruise control and then the usual things a bike has.
Physically the bike feels like a large capacity naked and there is some static weight held high but overall a compact machine that is 5mm shorter in wheelbase than the YZF-R1 and shares the same rake and trail. There is also plenty of adjustability on offer so set-up can be individualised with the suspension and lever position. I also notice just before I head off that the sidestand is easy to feel for and use thankfully as some nakedbike stands are pains in the arse!
The big cross-plane four fires into life quickly with a single press of the starter button and settles into a deep rumbling idle. It sounds mean, with a slight crack, and lumpy. It’s a tough sound that matches the looks. Nice…
Operating temp is achieved quickly and the ride begins.
