As well as R1 brakes, suspension, engine and chassis you also get cruise control, electronic rider modes and traction control as standard. There’s also a full array of official Yamaha accessories available to make the MT-10 racier (quickshifter, rearsets and racing levers) and more touring focussed (tall screen, luggage and comfort seat).

The MT-10 is great value for money for what is essentially a naked version of the R1 (which is 50% more expensive). It’s priced similar to its Japanese rivals and a lot cheaper than its European super naked rivals.

Yamaha has a great reputation for build quality and reliability and the MT-10 follows this envied tradition. It’s based on the current R1 and early gearbox recall aside (which doesn’t affect this model), there have been no major problems reported.

The throttle response is peachy, too, so long as you leave it in ‘standard’ mode. A and B modes are too sharp for accurate cornering…or wheelies. Who said Euro 4 had to be boring?

They’ve altered 40% of the R1’s engine internals, stripping away a lot of its titanium and magnesium components to suit its lower-revving, more torque-laden character, which also means it’s cheaper, so the MT-10 costs less than all its European rivals. The crossplane unit is a masterpiece of an engine. It howls, growls and wails like a Yamaha YZR-M1 MotoGP racer at full whack, has the punch of a V4 exiting corners and a power delivery so elastic, an electric motor would seem clunky by comparison.

Yamaha have decided you don’t need a peaky 200bhp R1 race engine for the road. They’ve moved the power lower down the revs, where you can reach it and shortened the gearing by two teeth on the rear, just to make sure. Power delivery isn’t unlike the original, gruntier 2009 R1.

Sure, it doesn’t pinball from corner to corner, changing direction like disco laser beam, like its expensive rivals, but the steering is predictable, the handling is forgiving and there’s lots of feel for what’s going on beneath you.Lightly modified R1 brakes are strong, but not class-leading and whether it’s the different compound pads or the new Bosh RU ABS system, they actually have more feel than the R1’s on the road. They’re more pleasurable and tactile to use. And although the MT-10 doesn’t have the latest six-axis internal gyro powering its traction control, like the R1 (only wheelspeed sensors), the system works brilliantly. Unlike the KTM 1290 Super Duke, for example, the system lets you pull wheelies with the TC left on. There’s lots of legroom and the riding position is spacious, but the seat can be uncomfortable after a few hours’ riding.

The MT-10 has an engine to die for - right up there with the best European super nakeds, but the chassis has a more conservative Japanese flavour to it. Like the Kawasaki Z1000, Suzuki GSX-S1000 and Honda CB1000R it’s a little less racy than its engine. Fully adjustable KYB forks and shock, lifted from the R1, are set on the soft and cossetting side and the old-generation Bridgestone S20 tyres have decent grip, but they’re not as sharp and quick steering as a sports tyre.But the Yamaha is still hugely competent and never puts a foot wrong.

It sits somewhere between an aggressive Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 and a softer Suzuki GSX-S1000 - it’s in the middle ground where the new Triumph Speed Triple lives.

The Yamaha MT-10 is fast, fun and practical. It’s a fitting flagship to the successful MT range of bikes.

5 out of 5 MT ten out of ten! 07 August 2020 by Rob Smith Version: Blue + akrapovic and de cat +remap Year: 2017 Fun fun fun! Mild mannered if you wish but if you don’t she will oblige! Proper hilarious, if you have never wheelied a bike off the power then you will with this. Standard sound of crossplane is good enough but decatted and with Akrapovic it’s addictive. Brakes nowhere near as bad as some journos would have you believe either. Brembo pads is inexpensive “fix” if you feel they need fixing. Marmite looks but I’m in the love camp clearly.Handling very good too. Range between fill ups a bit pants(around 100-120 miles) but you’ll need the break to catch your breath. Bit snatchy in sportiest engine mode but a £300 remap finds another 12bhp (or thereabouts) and smooths out the throttle response to extent I just leave it in that mode. Not a track bike but round Cadwell it’s a proper hoot if your not chasing lap times. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Can be a bit crashy over bumpy roads and even after professional set up it’s still not the best. Probably it’s weakest feature. SP may solve this but I love the blue colour even over the SP model. Had the odd pillion but rear pegs very high and you will make no friends after taking them for a spin! I find it very comfortable and happy with standard seat but some complain it’s too hard. Comfort seat too expensive and issue with it getting tatty too soon. Engine 5 out of 5 Does the lot whilst sounding amazing. Full of power and useable torque. Better than R1 for use ability on road, just don’t expect it to keep with one on track or long straights. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Never missed a beat. Quality paint, No corrosion yet, nothing to complain about here Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 Due 3rd service but had no probs, despite all wheelies chain still good and only needs the odd adjustment. Great value to buy in my view, so much better than anything similar for the price. Bit thirsty is only negative. Equipment 4 out of 5 Cruise control, engine modes, traction settings and quickshifter(up only) means it’s good but not the best. Dash is just ok( SP is very good) Buying experience: Local Yamaha dealer (Fiveways in Hull) were very good. Have no complaints at all . Bought new on PCP I think it was about £10;400 . PCP ended but I paid balance and kept it. Not one other bike I would rather have at moment without paying substantially more money. Updated model eagerly awaited. Hope Yamaha don’t ruin it by chasing power or track ability!

5 out of 5 If Thor rode a bike, it would be an angry black MT-10 03 May 2020 by Andrew Walker Version: Touring Year: 2017 The first test ride scared me. I then tried the KTM SuperDuke 1290 and Honda CB1000R and BMW S1000R. However, it just clicked with a second test-ride, and I bought. Very happy - no regrets. I love it to bits, and hopefully will never sell. It does everything you ask of it, and does it well. I ordered the Touring Edition in 2018 in black - looks amazing. Used for commuting, day trips and week long touring. Did 700 miles one day with no aches. Could sit at 170kph on German autobahns between petrol stations. I am considering getting ECU flashed. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Great on smooth flowing roads; default settings can feel hard on rougher roads. I'll play with the suspension settings to see if that helps. I try to use the brakes as little as possible, they (I only use the front) don't feel the best (compared to previous Fireblade and S1000XR) but I've never had a problem. I will probably change the front brake pads to (road not track) Brembo SA ones. Engine 5 out of 5 The power. The noise. It's like simultaneous thunder and an earthquake. A T-Rex scream at you. How you feel when your friends describe what they hear when out riding together. If you have a pulse, you need one of these in your life. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Over 2 years and no problems except a flat battery after a 4 month non-riding holiday. Seat is all day comfy. Right hand heated grip stopped working at 16k km, fixed during service. Cruise control stopped working, fixed during 16k km service - rear brake wasn't completely disengaging; WD40 fixed it. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 You're buying a Hyper Naked, so don't expect Honda CB500 / Ford Focus costs. It's a 160hp monster. Add petrol and enjoy. You cannot put a price on the smiles and screams of joy you experience. Equipment 4 out of 5 BMW and KTM have both had up and down quick shifters out for years; so why only an up QS with the MT-10? Sometimes works brilliantly, other times it bangs in. Always smoother with the clutch, but from medium-high revs, the word is Quick. Hold the power on and go go go. Screen, heated grips, cruise control, comfort seat, side panniers (including water-proof inner bags) and top box (not sure it's recommended but works okay even 2 up) all good. 12v powers my handle bar mounted phone for satnav. 17k km - on Continental RoadAttack 3 tyres never had a problem. I'm unsure whether the hand-guards do anything, and I'll never use their satnav mount - might remove both of these one day. Buying experience: Bought the 2017 Touring Edition in Spring 2018 from a main dealer; saved 1k over the 2018 bike (eg Touring extras were free). Happy days.

5 out of 5 MT10 is a great all rounder 26 April 2020 by Barry Martin Year: 2016 Annual servicing cost: £250 Good:Exciting to ride, fast, makes me smile everytime I ride it. Bad:tank range Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 I commute every day, sunday blasts and few uk tours a year. Also took on a track day, awesome fun against sports bikes. Engine 5 out of 5 Nothing keeps up with me away from the lights. Sounds great at full chat. Clutch is snatchy while the engine warms up. Reliability & build quality 4 out of 5 Well built but some components built to a budget. Never let me down and maintenance has just been services, tyres and a new chain after 20,000 miles. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 mpg is not great Equipment 4 out of 5 Added heated grips, touring screen and a tail tidy when new from the dealer. Heated grips and screen make riding in winter more bearable. Tail tidy looks good but I get covered in muck when riding in the rain. Buying experience: Bought from local Yamaha dealer and very pleased with them for buying and servicing.

4 out of 5 MT-10 design flaws 25 April 2020 by Boonster Year: 2019 I think this is an awesome bike,the torque is wicked,BUT there are a few design flaws,the 2 eyebrows as i call them over the rear light are plastic and very easy to break,the clutch cable runs over yhe ignition key making it very difficult to het the key out,and the mirror position is terrible,all you get is a very good look at your Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Seat gets a little bum numbing after about an hour or so but not to bad,tank is a little small only 17 ltrs.rear tire is not lasting long and im a very careful and easy rider,brake pads dont last and need upgrading to sintered. Engine 5 out of 5 Reliability & build quality 4 out of 5 Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 Equipment 3 out of 5 Poor tires Buying experience: Dealer from new,tag was £11,799,i i got it knocked down to £10,999,which was good as i said i would go elsewhere unless i got a good deal.CMC Cannock.

5 out of 5 Makes my FJ-09 feel like a toy. 30 May 2019 by Dylan Year: 2018 The best things about this bike: Quickshifter: Up until now, I've never been able to shift while in a wheelie. Now, I can bang from 1st through 4th no problem with the front end sky high. Quite a fun experience; not to mention how smooth it is when using the QS in turns. Torque: Amazing amount of torque, it just zips by cars, very confidence inspiring, and feels like it will rip your arms off. Riding position: This is an upright bike, with comfy leg room, and is about as upright as any bike I've ridden- I've done plenty of days with 250+ miles, and no back issues. Steering dampener: This makes the bike feel very planted and almost magnetically glued to the road at high speeds. Suspension: I find the suspension to be very firm, excellent for highly aggressive riding/braking on smooth roads. Worst: The tail indicators are falling off, suspension can be very jolting over bumpy roads, and the bike has very poor fuel mileage- averages around 30 mpg with my riding style. Ride quality & brakes 5 out of 5 This bike craves smooth, twisty roads that allow faster (50+ mph) turns. In this environment, the bike thrives, when the RPM's are between 6k-11k; the bike just sounds incredible. Engine 5 out of 5 It's a torque monster, and is really effortless when it comes to overtaking cars, and blasting out of turns. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 So far, I have a few minor rust spots, on an exhaust bolt, and on the bar ends where the allen key fits in; due to having taken these off, and scraped some of the paint, then leaving the bike outside a few nights. Otherwise, the bike has been completely reliable. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 The gas is the major running cost for this bike; I can easily spend $200/month on fuel, and in addition, it really chews up tires if you ride it hard. I'll replace tires every 1.5- 2 months with heavy riding, so costs can easily be $400/month between tires and fuel. Equipment 5 out of 5 I think the steering dampener might be the best value-add.

5 out of 5 Got my mojo back 26 January 2019 by Mike Year: 2018 Annual servicing cost: £1 Some folks are concerned about fuel economy but I didn’t buy this bike for that and if it is a concern then look elsewhere Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Engine 5 out of 5 The best bit Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 So far so good but to be fair it’s dry miles only for me Value vs rivals 5 out of 5 Not had a service yet, less than 12 months owned and old Equipment 5 out of 5 Cruise control is nice on longer runs Buying experience: Dealer ex demo 800 miles in, £9995

5 out of 5 Comfy, fast and a great sountrack 21 August 2018 by ianzz Year: 2016 An absolutely lovely thing to ride, comfy, fast, and great soundtrack. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Forks faultless, rear shock plus 3 clicks on rebound and compression, and it's fine. Obviously budget shock, but works ok. Standard pads are wooden and overheat, Brembo pads sort that, no racing brakes, but more than good enough for the road. Engine 5 out of 5 An absolute peach, I love it. I test rode everything and this got the nod, don't have to thrash it, and that noise at 7000rpm, magic! It's a torque monster, and the wheelies, oh yes, my speed triple, the front never left the ground, this is the opposite, ah - the joy. Wired ex up valve open and cut can in half, wonderful, tried a de-cat, way too loud on this engine, I like to sneak about, I can hear it now. I had re-flashed to 17 map, old B mode was just a little too snatchy, great now. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 All good so far, at 7000 miles. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 Getting 40 mpg average, and I don't hang about, speed triple used to do 33/35 mpg! Equipment 5 out of 5 Great, I even enjoy the cruise control, didn't think i would like it, any boring road and it's on. Buying experience: I bought it second hand at 1500 miles, old owner couldn't cope with it.

3 out of 5 Not quite what it could be 17 July 2018 by Alex Year: 2018 The bike did not live up to the hype for me. If you're looking for a bike to ride to a track day in relative comfort then this could be worth considering. You could just buy a proper sports bike though? If you want something like a modern usable sportsbike that is comfortable look else where. It is fast, handles well, has good brakes, good ground clearance. It is not very comfortable, the suspension is hard on British roads if you don't have the SP, the wind blast gets annoying at speed after a short while, and the throttle response in A and B mode in jerky and C mode is delayed. This bike is not the well-rounded product I expected, I think it was over hyped. I think it is an injustice to compare it to the Triumph Speed Triple. The Triumph is a much more fun, pure, simple bike to ride in my opinion, the throttle just ruined the Yamaha experience for me. Ride quality & brakes 3 out of 5 It is firm, an hour with the standard seat and with no screen is too long for me but i am 6,5" tall. Engine 4 out of 5 If the throttle response was better it would be a 5. It feels like an electric motor that always has the power when and where you need it, it's just the rest of the package makes it hard to enjoy it. Reliability & build quality 4 out of 5 Loads of tech on it, but some of it does not seem to work together that well, at times the quick shifter and TC got confused and left me with a grunt of power, or missing chunk of drive when I did not want it. The finish is good, better than most European but it's not Honda good. Value vs rivals 3 out of 5 For me, you need to buy the touring model to get the screen and comfortable seat, but then pay extra for the top box and heated grips, and the electronic suspension is a worth while upgrade to make it more comfortable, this means the ideal model would set you back 15000+ which is a lot, but less than a KTM. Equipment 4 out of 5 Loads of tech, I guess down quick shifter would be nice, I would have less and have a triumph throttle calibration.

5 out of 5 Torquey fun 05 May 2018 by Keall Version: Basic Blue Year: 2016 Annual servicing cost: £300 When unleased it's a beast that can power wheelie at 140 quite easily Ride quality & brakes 5 out of 5 Never had someone on the back but one up it is a great handling bike, rear suspension has been softened a bit to give tthe power somewhere to go and keep the front end down. A great fun bike but can have moments bordering fear as it pushes on and on. Engine 5 out of 5 Had the ecu flashed to turn off the fuel cut on decelleration, raise rpm limiter by 200, removed 155mph limit (now reaches 171mph), dropped fan temp to 95, tuned maps for decat titanium pipe. 161bhp at rear wheel. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Good quality though upgraded the brake pads, levers,front master and brake lines. Lowered bars and fitted an R6 throttle with less rotation. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 Changing oil, filters and maintaining myself. 6k service quotes are high as Yamaha includes checking plugs. Equipment 5 out of 5 Changed mirrors as a bit short. Traction control is a mixed blessing, can save a slide but can whip you near highside if you dont expect it Buying experience: bought new for 10k, bargain!

5 out of 5 Jizz machine 12 March 2018 by Kevin Paterson Year: 2017 Don't believe the poor economy stories, she's good for 120 miles on 7 litres 👍 fast, sounds insane, comfy-ish, only gripe so far is the positioning of the indicator switch though that could be down to being freezing cold and soaking wet numbing my hands. Ride quality & brakes 5 out of 5 Brakes are good, ride quality is decent, Engine 5 out of 5 Absolute unit. Smooth as silk, sounds great, nicely finished and the power is everywhere. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Can't comment but it's a Yamaha.. not likely that anything a going to break if you don't mess with it. Value vs rivals 4 out of 5 No idea on service costs, probably around the £160 mark inline with most other manufacturers. Equipment 5 out of 5 Got mine with a quick shifter, scorpion rp1-gp can, full luggage rack, tank bag lock ring. Yamaha ought to to fitting headlight guards as standard however as a replacement assembly is currently £768 + labour. Buying experience: Dealer bought, can't complain have been using them for years.

5 out of 5 i just love this machine..... 25 December 2016 by Rico Year: 2016 Annual servicing cost: £150 Awesome bike Ride quality & brakes 5 out of 5 Brakes are awesome. Not sure why people think they are vague. Real world stoppers on wet roads. Engine 5 out of 5 Sounds like a mini F1 engine. The cross plane at tickover is eccentrically beautiful. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 3500 miles and holding up well despite being put away wet and ridden hard. Value vs rivals 5 out of 5 Tank range on this beauty is 110. I guess you could get more but warp drive is so awesome it's worth the extra stops. Equipment 5 out of 5 All good especially the dc socket in fairing. Like most modern bikes I had to buy mirror extenders to avoid looking at my elbows instead of the rapidly receding traffic. Buying experience: Dealer purchased. 7th new bike from alpha in Leigh on sea. Exemplary as always.

4 out of 5 Fun for 75 miles! 09 December 2016 by FrottleFreak Year: 2016 Annual servicing cost: £150 Very fun bike, gets a lot of attention wherever it goes. Best purchase made for it was a decat pipe. Just let down by fuel tank rage. Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 It's pro wheelie, and anti licence! It'll easily keep up with a 2016 R1 and GSXR1000 when you're throttle happy! Engine 5 out of 5 Torque upon torque upon torque! Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Never had an issue with reliability (as expected on a brand new Yamaha). Value vs rivals 3 out of 5 VERY poor miles to a tank... don't believe the hype of 140+ to a tank, that may be possible if you were in 6th gear everywhere. Realistically, standard day to day trips I get about 75 miles before the reserve light comes on. Equipment 5 out of 5 Definitely recommend getting a decat pipe if you want the bike to sound as mad as it looks. Comes with Bridgestone Battlax tyres standard which is my personal preference as the best all round/all weather tyre. Buying experience: Bought from Lamba Yamaha Carshalton. Got a good deal with them, and kept me updated throughout the whole waiting process (pre-ordered it).

5 out of 5 Torque monster. 03 December 2016 by Sirtomsalot Version: FZ10 Year: 2016 This bike is nuts. Insurance cost for me is very low 23yo male no house not married 145/mo compared to 280 for super Duke and slightly less on BMW S1000r. Engine sounds ridiculous. Bike is very restricted from the factory but simple to switch that. Gas mileage is horrible at 26.6 MPG average at 1600 miles so far. It's a bike that has a lot of character at a ridiculous price. Pros Wheelies Sound Value Insurance cost Yamaha running cost (guessing) Front brake Very capable and versatile bike Wind protection is actually VERY good for class Wheelies way more doubled up Headlights are superb Cons Rear brake Horrid mileage (100 mile range) "Caged" restricted feel on FZ10 model (ecu flash changes this) Engine braking is hard but you get used to it stock seat is HORRIBLY uncomfortable Very hard on off throttle Wheelies way more doubled up (can be a bad thing) Ride quality & brakes 4 out of 5 Rear brake feels poor and ineffective alone front brake is great. Choppy throttle and very hard on off feel with stock engine braking but once you get used to it it's okay. Hard to be smooth but rip on the throttle 1-3rd and wheelie. Engine 4 out of 5 Awesome midrange nice high end. Low end feels a bit "caged" will have to flash ecu and see the changes. Hard pulls on the throttle lift the front wheel hard but if you are under or over the "sweet spot" not much happens. Crossplane sounds ridiculous. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 High quality so far still only 1600 miles. Value vs rivals 5 out of 5 Much less expensive than competitors not known running cost yet. Equipment 5 out of 5 Quickshifter is standard next year but that is 100% must accessory. makes the bike absolutely monsterous. Cruise control isn't very needed as you won't be using this bike for long trips (26.6mpg currently averaging) Buying experience: Bought through local dealer not a great experience but oh well.

3 out of 5 It`s the opposite of pretty! Goes well, not well enough to challenge the top Supernakeds 19 November 2016 by Ricky Year: 2016 Ok but let down by cheap suspension and brakes.

5 out of 5 04 August 2016 by Val Year: 2016 The best road bike ever. It looks ugly, but as a bike is the best bike I have ridden. This bike is better then dedicated sports bikes like S1000RR for example. Not sure who has tested the brakes in the review, but MT10 has very strong brakes. Way stronger then you will ever need. And very progressive with excellent feel. About MT10 not been sharp and not having "pinball" accuracy - seriously what other bike you compare to it? Because when I ride MT10 it is the sharpest bike I have ever rode. Much sharper then BMWS1000RR for example. You can change direction any time, when in the bend left or right and it just goes there. Again my abilities are way off what that bike can do. The bike feels so light on slow speed on a parking lot I have lost balance and recovered push bike style - something you can't do on many bikes. The only drawback is the wooden seat. Note about the seat. It actually fits somehow the overall bike. It is hard but that is good, because with this bike and this strong brakes and this firm suspension, and this powerful engine, and the speeds you can do with, actually you need this hard seat to be always in control and not slide around because of various g forces. The truth is MT10 is a hardcore sport bike that needs to be ridden hard and needs this seat. I have been two hours on it and now my bum is a little sore and hurts. But I am still smiling.

5 out of 5 A bit of everything rolled into one! 07 July 2016 by Coco5940 Year: 2016 Annual servicing cost: £120 Excellent everywhere for the money... and that engine!!!! Ride quality & brakes 5 out of 5 Heard the brakes were vague and I've had that issue on other yams, changing the pads and lines solves that. With the MT-10, the brakes are fine with no fade, maybe it's hit and miss but I haven't bedded these in properly. Engine 5 out of 5 This engine is a peach, it produces power very similar to the 2012 R1 I had, loads of grunt exactly where you need it, you don't need to rev hard to chase the power. The sound is exquisite and unique. Reliability & build quality 5 out of 5 Decent quality parts, better finishes on items like the shock when compared to the MT-09. Standard seat covering looks a little cheap but this is easily changed with the comfort option Value vs rivals 3 out of 5 First service used to be parts only (oil and filter) but is now fully charged. Subsequent services are about £180. Equipment 5 out of 5 Pretty much everything you need for the price, loads of optional extras available. The air con seems a bit of a waste though! Buying experience: Dealer was excellent and accommodating (Damerell's near Newquay), kept me informed the whole way.
