“I believe that the MT -10 is the best real world naked sportsbike Yamaha have ever produced. It has the ability to tour,poodle around town, go for a spirited Sunday scratch or race on a track. It will wheelie on command and the cruise control is a lovely touch. Looks are totally radical love it or hate it, it gets your attention. The crossplane R1 derived engine is a peach and sounds fantastic.
Only gripe I have is the rear brake lacks any feel but can be sorted with sintered pads, tank's too small and it's juicy. A small price to pay though for an outstanding machine. Love it.”
