Buy one and have it mapped by 2 wheel dyno works. It is way better with fueling, throttle smoothness, rideability, and feel of everything just is so much smoother
I bought my 2023MT 10 from Coleman Powersports in Falls Church but I test rode it the first time at Coleman Powersports in Woodbridge and that test drive is what sold me
Oh my gosh, it’s fantastic. I would be more than happy to answer any specific questions because there’s too many good things to mention in a quick reply! I started riding motorcycles in the early 1980s. I’m 52 years old I’ve owned probably 30 or more motorcycles all of them used except for the MT 10 and my Kawasaki Z 900 RS café.
I’m pretty convinced this is my next ride..I’ve watched so many reviews on her and gotta say this review is what I needed to see..just simple and about the ride..how it feels and sounds..no frills or ripping the short comings apart..is it perfect? Nope..but I feel it’s perfect for me..thanks for this!
You won’t regret it, I started watching too many reviews and overthinking it to the point I literally went in to get an MT09 instead, yet the guy “convinced” me which I didn’t need much of in the first place 😂, I just couldn’t make my mind up, and ended up pulling the trigger on a 2019 MT10, been riding it for a week now, and man I can’t get enough of this machine, fuel economy was one big thing I looked into because I commute a lot to work and such, got 82-90 miles on the first tank, couldn’t give 2 shits about how much I get out of it now, the experience makes up for all the shortcomings and pickiness of other peoples opinions of it on TH-cam.
Great video. I got the fz09. Got rid of the x diavel I had for 3 years. Yamaha is much better than Ducati in my opinion. Still riding at 71 and also have Indian bobber and old Harley shovel
@@expatbiker6598 any bike could be scary lol, I rode a 2016 KTM 1290 Super Duke as a beginner rider last year and it’s not as crazy as people say it is unless.... you crack the throttle open same goes for the MT09 & MT10
Just bought a MT10 2020 and have to say that your video has been very useful. Can't wait for the spring to show-up. Keep doing these nice reviews, simply love it.
definitely the most underrated supernaked on the market. I traded my multistrada for a lightly used mt10, saved a boat load of money. Put a decat exhaust on the mt10, and it sounds like a big block v8, just an absolute monster. With factory heated grips and cruise control, its the total package. More comfortable than the tuono and S1000r, and just as good of a road bike. Best bike decision i've made in a while.
greg alford it's true , Yamaha worked SO hard on the MT10" ,.the knew they could change the game if the did it right and now the only Japanese Supernaked , earned the respect of the euro. Nakeds. There's a Supernaked shootout on TH-cam b a bike magazine and they had all the big boy Supernakeds and a new mt10 , hadn't been launched yEt and lot a lot known and a few of the Magazije editors comment in the video wondering if it shoudl be I the group or left out like the other base nakeds. Guess which one the group test Lololol FZ10 overthrow king Lds Supernakeds. SDR and Tuono Factory. For Yamaha to accomplish that and do it so much class expensive just speaks to the company and the bike.
I bought my 2023 MT 10 last year and I couldn’t agree more. Out of the past 40 years of riding motorcycles this is the only machine that reminded me of why I started writing in the first place. It is phenomenal.
FZ10Rider can't remember for sure so I appologise if not but think I gave me some advice of wheeling the FZ10 safely years ago. Had the. Bike 2 years, LOVED IT more than any bike I've owned. But sold to divorce but nothing shows how much u love a bike to be buying again years later Nd buying the same model lol. Ended up doing cross country trips,tracked it nearly weekly , sail commuting, picking up my daughters from school, it did aeverythj Gand I miss it. Hope ur well man!
@@hawthorne7712 40 not bad considering the engine size, Anyway I will probably settle with MT 07 instead, not just it's lot cheaper but powerwise it's more than enough for my needs really. Thanks and safe riding 😀
Hawthorne 77 agreed had my 2017 2 years ,..once I put the ypipe on and let that MotoGP sound out it was addictive! I dailied it rain and snow 2 years, did track days and cross country trips! Most awesome bike I've owned and most fun to ride!
Jeremy Cubs I'll confirm 30. I did a cat delete, race filter and reflashed the ecu and still 30 but increase of 22hp at sea level!! They really de-tuned the ecu from Factory.
Like you, I've owed the Tuono (2) and the SuperDuke. I bought the MT-10 about 3 months ago and am loving it. Also, I've had the opportunity to ride the BMW S 1000 r on a couple of occasions. This is my favorite of this group for roominess, comfort and the way the power comes on which I can easily modify according to my mood. It doesn't have the quality components of these others and there is a sense to me of a plastic look compared to the others mentioned above. Still, the girls at work like it too, one calling my new bike, "Sick". It's performance is brilliant. My son mirrored my experience (especially in performance mode 1 and 2): "This bike just wants to GO!" My SuperDuke and Tuonos always felt a bit boring when in traffic - when in me needing to to be observant - a good citizen. It was almost like grinding teeth with them. However, the Yamaha somehow doesn't irk me and is quick, smooth and easily modulated. An MRA racing screen really is the only addition I desired, it looks great and takes wind pressure off on the open road. I like the stock seat just fine since I don't go long distances. I'm getting about 28.5 mpg, currently yielding Tuono range which I actually can live with since I don't ride with groups and love so much the sweetness of this fine bike's performance (I remember you hated that aspect of the T). My Husky SuperMoto is the sister bike and yields enthusiastic acceleration and about 51 mpg when I'm looking for an alternative. If you can believe Consumer Reports, there is goodness in this brand's reliability as icing on the cake. Bottom line: you nailed it in your review.
Jonny Begood was debating between '17 sueprduke R and Tuono Factory v4 1100 , both $17,500 plus fees 😳 but performance wise the only route I wanted comming from an r1M prior . Waited for the MT10 to come out and glad I did, saved half lol and truly loved the bike!! Eventually decat it (best $130 spent) race filter and rehash putting it at 182hp and dropping 32lbs of cat weight . Sold the bike after 2 years to divorce and getting another soon , going MT10 again🙂
Picked up a blue 2018 MT-10 last Sept., it's simply a marvelous bike that is so intoxicating to ride . Really like the cruise control. Originally I did not like the looks of it when it came out it is so different. Slowly I warmed up to the looks. After riding one I had to get one.
@@ruinerfixxxer not often even on the MT10. But you dont have to race someone to feel the 40hp difference. Love the MT10 and the 160hp is enough for 99.9% off the riders out there.
@@srtspeedy4983 People said the same thing about the Panigale V4. And in 44 Teeth testing, it was a half second slower than the RSV4 per lap, even makes 20~ more HP and 30lbs lighter.
After owning one for a year and half it's honestly the best all-around bike I've ever owned out of 5 bikes I've owned and numerous other bikes I've tried. The chassis is very engaging.
Best bike I have owned. The complete package. Really like the exhaust as it sounds like an aftermarket system . Amazing power delivery. Fabulous in corners. Will wheelie off the throttle in 3rd gear in mode 1.
@@DukeOfDC it better be! i see you have full camera gear with gph7b with ND filters? and 4k fotage, only thing you need is continues content uploaded. and that you actually respond to your comments is a big bonus as it makes your videos even more personal.
I upgraded from black 2017MT09 to black 2019MT10 couple of months ago. Already more than 5000km her, bunch of mods and I absolutely love it! Ima keep this jizzmachine forever
@@DukeOfDCI did 16000km on MT09 and 5000km - not entirely sure this is long term, but I think it allows me to at least compare the two. First of all, they are both absolutely amazing bikes. Service intervals are the same, so there's no difference in maintenance costs, but you'll spend more on fuel and tires on MT10, that's for sure. She is thirsty. MT10 is bigger, faster, a little bit heavier (193kg vs 210kg), but nearly as agile as MT09. It's suspension is much harder from factory - bike feels a lot more planted than MT09, especially in longer, faster corners, also in higher speeds it's lot more solid than MT09. Sound - both badly need decat and pipe. Can't really compare 3 and 4 cylinder crankshaft engines in terms of sound, but they both sound absolutely godly - I had Black Widow exhaust on MT09 and SP engineering on MT10. It all comes down to your riding style and what environment you ride in. Pick MT09 if you commute, live in a city, like a bit (a lot) of hooliganism after work or on weekends. A bit of touring is also possible with MT09. Opt for MT10 for hooliganism lvl 9000+, if you do more longer rides and occasional touring. All in all, can't go wrong with either. They are a great bargain considering price/performance/reliability. You know those engines won't skip a beat during your ownership.
I'm convinced. Gonna get one after I get out of basic. I have been looking at getting one of these bad boys for a while and this video has absolutely done it for me.
I absolutely love mine. Going from my gsxr to that it's got a way broader power band, more comfortable, and better all around. If you can, get the sp version unless you like being able to tune your suspension.
I got one 3 weeks ago. Hopefully I'll get the 1000 mile break-in out of the way Saturday. My first Japanese bike and I love it. BTW, what mic setup are you using? Your audio is a perfect blend of engine and voice.
Pretty good review! I love riding my 2015 FJ-09...great engine, mpg and smooth riding for long distances. You kinda solidified my thoughts of upgrading to the MT10 maybe next year. Again great review!
Great bike. Only weak part is the fragile headlight. Get some headlight protectors becouse mine cracked after just 3000km. The headlight are expensive to replace.
after a 20 year break I sat on the MT06-10 and being tall the MT-10 fit he bill. I didn't read up to much before buying it but I clearly made a great choice, I was literally in the dealership for 2 hours sitting on many many bikes at the MT10 felt right. It did scare the piss out of me when I really got on the throttle for the first few times. I never felt anything like that before at 150+ HP. thanks for the video. Go ride on one if you on the fence. Im 6'3" 248lbs and im comfortable. I also went with the comfort seat (2 spinal fusions over here).
A friend of mine has one of those bikes and loves it, and he's not really a naked bike kinda guy. He loves the bike's power and it sounds amaaaaaazing with the aftermarket exhaust he put on it. Those bikes sound so great with an aftermarket exhaust
BLACK05GO1 there's a reason.l for that most don't know. 🙂 the 2017 Yamaha FZ10 only had 160hp compared to its also crossplane 4 R1 brothers 200+ BUT Yamaha gave the MT10 a HUGE airbox, tuning and fueling to make the FZ10 produce more Torque than the R1 and from a very very low rom but with a. Road curve they the rev range. Yamaha also gave it a slightly lower gear ratio, lowered the rev range and with magical ecu work, the 16hp MT10 has the quickest 0-60mph time of ANY production motorcycle of Earth. Quicker than more HyperCars for that matter. 🙂 my R1M was approaching 100 by end of first gear and only in power for part. My MT10 revs out just a hair past 60mph and power almost from start,.irs essentially a 0-60 weapon or low roller. Lol but like u said , takes practice as the front wheel always want up. Think all MT10 owners know the 0-60 deal so any bike or car u sit at a light of roll with is anneas take down if u rise. 🙂 that same principle is why it's so dangerous o shorter tracks , the corner exit and torque out well makes up for a loss on the back straight at richter Tracks.
I tried the MT-10SP not expecting anything special... boy I was so wrong! This bike is brutal yet easy to ride, very nimble, powerful, it has amazing suspensions and it's comfortable too. I think I'm in love with it, too bad I cannot afford to buy one.
The superduke, s1000r, tuono and the monster 1200 defiently has better components like brakes/suspension/electronis. The MT10 is kinda budget compared to the european super nakeds. The prices varies from country to country, for example where I live the MT10 cost the same as a 1290 superduke r brand new, the superduke is way more value for money then👍🏻
Scandi MC Your points are valid. What’ you didn’t mention though is reliability. The KTM and the Ducati have horrible reliability/durability issues when compared to Yamaha. Not my opinion, based solely on data. They are still good choices as long as your clear about what your getting into.
Neo Musa I have a KTM now a lot of my friends have other KTMs and ducatis, my friends with yamahas have had more problems lol. A decade ago ducati and KTM had bad relaibility, but the last years they have improved a lot. Wouldnt hesistate to get a euro bike because of their rumours
Will probably be my next bike. I've had 600-1000cc super sport bikes. I picked up a speed triple a few years ago and didn't realize what i was missing with the naked sport bikes. On paper this looks like the perfect street bike.
I test rode one the other day and I was equally impressed. I have never been on a more balanced and easy to ride bike. It was surprisingly comfortable and the suspension was great. I do own a KTM Super Duke GT as well so it was a good comparison. If I had to make the same choice today I think I would get the MT10 over the KTM. Reliability, affordability and pure fun makes this is a tough bike to beat. If they were the same price it would be a VERY tough call but I think I would still lean toward the MT10 with bags a and a shield.
J. Rockett Audio Designs Same here. I owned a SDGT for about a year (11k miles) and had a minor accident. Insurance company totaled it though. Picked up a nicely modded 2018 MT10 with 3500 miles for $8500 last week. When I was looking around I was nervous that any other bike would leave me wanting more after the KTM 1290 engine. For comparison purposes the SDGT was stock and the MT10 did have a: cat delete, ECU flash, R1 rear shock, R1 front and rear master cylinders, slightly lowered handlebar clamps, R1 rear sets, suspension set up for track, new brake/clutch levers, among other mods. So the riding position is a bit more aggressive than stock and the suspension stiffer than many might like for the street. But I really like it set up like this. Have rode it 3 times for about 2 hours each and have no problems with comfort. Also, the stock SDGT probably weighs 50-60 lbs more than my modded MT10. And I’m not sure what kind of power the cat delete/flash added but I’m sure it helped. Seat of the pants I would say under 5k rpm my MT10 feels like it pulls harder (the SD really doesn’t pull wildly until about 5k rpm), 5k-8k rpm the SD pulls harder, over 8k rpm pretty evenly matched. As far as the brakes, and it does have the R1 master cylinders (and weighs less), I think it stops just as well or better. What really makes me love my MT10 as compared to the SDGT is the handling. I can take corners, that I am familiar with how I took them with the SDGT, with more speed, stability and much more ease. It handles that much better and is easier to throw around and take corners at speed while feeling more stable. Wasn’t sure when I bought it, but after riding it a few days I definitely like it better than the SDGT. And the bike I got with the mods/price was a vastly superior value compared to a used SDGT.
I test rode this couple of months ago against MT09 but decided for MT09. Felt like MT10 just wanted to kill me and just wanted to 150km/h at all times! Or I did? 🤔 Love the cruise control but the price hike for it is just too much (there’s more I know)
Juraj Benak Lololol this is the most accurate comment . Lolol. Had an MT10 and power wheelied up on many many occasions unintentionally . Lol corner exit was the wrong place. It's also what I LOVED a Kurt the bike though. 👍
I ride a 2014 cb1000r that has no rider aides or ABS. I also ride a fjr1300 that has abs and traction and cruise control. Love both bikes. I can live without abs or traction control. Cruise control is hard to ever give up again though.
I can see your enthusiasm as I have a 3-year-old FJ 09 and I think it is the best one up sport touring bike. I can't imagine how much nicer the more powerful and so much more technically advanced the MT 10 would be. Enjoy.
I have a 2017 FZ10, and really enjoy the bike. They can be had for the mid $11ks if you negotiate at all. Great bike, reliable fun. Much more torquey down low than the Z1000 that I had prior to owning it. Not sure what the Dyno would say on it, but I was sold on the difference just from the test ride.
Great review. I was just at that dealership for their Demo day on Cinco de Mayo. Any-who currently have the XSR900 and will eventually move up, thinking about the MT10. My bike and the MY09 are crazy flickable. The weight on the MT10 is 463 wet. Does it feel noticeably less flickable than MT09
It doesn't feel noticeably heavier than the MT-09 when riding at 60% as seen in the video, but on a track I think you'd begin to feel the extra weight. Not sure if it would negatively impact the ride though. It's very well setup.
looking at buying one in spring after the snow melts here, im riding a 2002 r6 right now and i live somewhere where the roads are super shitty, i need something with a little softer suspension and more comfortable, i want to be able to go on long rides across the country if i want. the r6 has been fun but its time to upgrade
I bought the MT-09 after riding both. Fun factor of the 9 out produced the 10 for me. If I was a track guy, or gonna throw some side bags sport tour with it I'd had opted for the 10. The 10 seemed like you had to spool it up to get any response...the 09 was "tap on full" right off the bottom of the rev range. Thousands less and easier on fuel (*not that that matters*). Complete hoon bike is the 09 - subtle and cool roller is the 10. YMMV
Oh. My. God... a wiggle righter?! That is the single best way I have ever heard someone say 'Steering Dampener" and I shall steal it as my own haha. To answer your question, it has a stock one, but many people upgrade.
@@DukeOfDC Haha, do most of them have dampeners as standard because of its life saving ability or is it still random? I want a bike but Id hate to die from a random tank slapper.
As far as I have researched, the MT-10 comes with one stock, however many people upgrade ra to a ohlins unit. I'm with you man - easily fixed problem that could be catastrophic
The Suzuki GSX S 1000 on the DYNO has more horsepower and the same torque cost 2000 less I have ridden all the naked it all comes down to the rider more than anything there that close. I'm coming off a ducati monster I went with the GSX S1000 the B MW was nicer but not 5000 dollars more nicer plus dealership plays a big part with the European bikes other wise I would have gotten the Aprilia Tor. Then reliability another issue so be safe on your travels
Mark Miller agreed 100% I went with a Gsxs 1000 now sold it for a gsxr 1000 and I’m not looking back 🙂 Took my old Gsxs down the 1/4 with a mate of mine with an mt10 After 10 passes my pb was 10.9 @ 130mph his pb was 11.1 @ 129 mph Moral of the story there’s bugger all difference between the 2 power wise the Gsxs is a couple of grand cheaper and also has brembo front brakes compared to the yammie Both great bikes but I don’t see an extra 3-5k on the mt10 over the Gsxs 1000.
DukeOfDC mate bang for buck you can’t beat it. I picked up my used Gsxs 1000 for $9900 the cheapest mt10 I could find was $13900. I didn’t see 4k in the mt10. (Aud) Those k5 motors are beast! Biggest thing going for the Gsxs is value you just can’t beat them. Add Suzuki reliability to boot! If money is no object there are plenty of better naked bikes out there 🙂
Cameron The great I own a Tuono V4 and it is intoxicating to ride every single time. My friend just picked up The MT10 in this color. I bought my Tuono with 1k miles at a huge discount because of the purchase being in late fall. If money is no object then pick up a Tuono factory but honestly the MT10 really is a steal. It too is a bike you want to ride every day and the cross plane crank is unique in sound giving it plenty of character. I’m thinking about getting it as a second bike . The riding position is a click better than The Tuono, being a little more upright. I’ve also owned a Triumph Speed Triple. It was one of the best bikes all around that I have owned. Down turn in 08 forced the sale. I hope this helps.
Wind protection was actually decent. The instrument cluster cowl deflected a lot of chest and shoulder wind. There was wind around my helmet but it wasn’t hindering
I have a 2010 Kawasaki Z750 and I rode to the location where i would test drive the MT 10(Through the Yamaha MT tour). Got an MT 10 with akrapovic exhaust. The difference is night and day not only power wise but also in terms of dynamics. When i finished my ride and hoped on my Z to head back home), on the first turn i felt like i was riding a wooden plank with 2 wheels. I have test rode both the S1000R and the Tuono 1100 Factory. Fell in love with the Tuono, sound, smoothness everything was top notch but you get the reliability of an Aprilia. The S1000R also is extremely nice (the brakes though are in a different league, you need 1 finger to stop the bike) but again you get BMW reliability. So I decided to buy an MT 10 in the coming months since i use my bike daily for commute. As far as i am concerned the only drawback of the MT 10 is the fuel consumption which pretty much is the same as my Z. Although it is worth mentioning that both the Tuono and S1000R have a significantly more advanced electronics package,(especially cornering abs, and advanced traction control)
Hey my guy, I'm down here in Spotsylvania, Va and I'm thinking about buying some land to build a house there in Woodbridge bro. I'm also thinking about either buying a Yamaha MT 10 or a Ducati V4 S...
I bought mine as brand new. My 2017 FZ10 has 11300 miles on it as of now. Just came back from a 1058 miles trip in two days. Sharing my likes and dislikes Likes: other than mod expense and tires absolute peace of mind in maintenance. I take care of oil changes and chain maintenance myself. I hear often my fellow riders with bmw and ducati cribbing about maintenance cost. I used to ride 100cc motorcycle for years and jumped straight to FZ10 after almost 8 years break. This bike didn't scare me and was very confident inspiring, super stable and will bring smile on your face when you open throttle. Cruise control was a blessing for my long rides. Dislikes: Seat must be upgraded. I went for seat cover Italian made with some extra cusion. Problem solved. Breaks came from factory not very good. Upgraded the front break pack under $100 and worth every penny. Miles range on a full tank gas is very poor. I keep looking for gas stations every 100 miles. This is a serious head ache asking fellow riders to pull over. Stock Rear tire won't last even 3500 miles. I do not do drifts or stunts. With dual compound sport touring you can expect close to 5k. Throttle response is little twitchy. Especially B mode. I normally leave it A mode. Iam thinking of FJR 1300 as an option for touring but love this bike so much and do not want to trade in.
The thing about the "premium" bikes is that their price is premium, but their performance is not that much better than the mt 10, and certainly their reliability is substandard, in other words you are not doing better.....if you spent the money difference on the mt10, you would end up with a much better bike, much more reliable, and possibly still cheaper than say a Ducati panigale.... Yes the panigale is a beautiful bike, but way too expensive for what you get...
@@DylanCarGuy yes. Look at all the standard kit on the S1000R, brakes ,suspension, heated grips, cruise control. My biggest gripe with the MT-10 is how many "corners" they cut.
A quick shifter pretty much cuts power to the engine for a split second, which allows the gearbox to switch gears while bypassing the need to pull in the clutch. Yes, an aftermarket quickshifter can be installed into an MT-07.
Joplin is definitely a fun road in Woodbridge. It’s always good to see you ride in areas I’m familiar with. I live about 5 minutes from Joplin, and work about 5 minutes from Hampton rd which I see you riding a lot on in your videos. Any other good roads in the area you suggest for a spirited ride?
Nice review I was going to meet up with you at a cars and coffee a couple years ago, but I got reckless driving for going 91mph in VA lol! So since then! F VA! But once I get my bike ill let you know so we can ride! My cars no match for big bikes. Stay safe out there
I love my FZ10 it is does everything and has tons of accessories to keep you happy. Everything you need for the street. I like how it has a unique look that doesn't look like every other bike out there. But the main thing is this is a riders bike you will get addicted.
@@DukeOfDC true that man. And it's good to see locals doing thier Moto vlog thing on here. Big ups to you. And ps. I always see nice products when I'm shopping on Colman's I just have not made it thier yet but I will soon.
Guys, you are all the absolute BEST! This video is blowing up and it's all thanks to you! Please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE :)

How is it??
Oh my gosh, it’s fantastic. I would be more than happy to answer any specific questions because there’s too many good things to mention in a quick reply! I started riding motorcycles in the early 1980s. I’m 52 years old I’ve owned probably 30 or more motorcycles all of them used except for the MT 10 and my Kawasaki Z 900 RS café.

@@expatbiker6598 any bike could be scary lol, I rode a 2016 KTM 1290 Super Duke as a beginner rider last year and it’s not as crazy as people say it is unless.... you crack the throttle open same goes for the MT09 & MT10
Just bought a MT10 2020 and have to say that your video has been very useful. Can't wait for the spring to show-up. Keep doing these nice reviews, simply love it.
Thanks for the kind words and mega congratulations on the MT10 purchase. What a machine... honestly amazing bike
definitely the most underrated supernaked on the market. I traded my multistrada for a lightly used mt10, saved a boat load of money. Put a decat exhaust on the mt10, and it sounds like a big block v8, just an absolute monster. With factory heated grips and cruise control, its the total package. More comfortable than the tuono and S1000r, and just as good of a road bike. Best bike decision i've made in a while.
greg alford it's true , Yamaha worked SO hard on the MT10" ,.the knew they could change the game if the did it right and now the only Japanese Supernaked , earned the respect of the euro. Nakeds.

Ended up doing cross country trips,tracked it nearly weekly , sail commuting, picking up my daughters from school, it did aeverythj Gand I miss it. Hope ur well man!
Have a 2017, absolute beast and a great daily cruiser. The best of both worlds. Wouldn't trade it for anything, complete package.
How's fuel mileage?
@@jeremycubs8331 banging thru gears about 30, highway over 40. I've stretched it over 160miles to a tank on long trips
@@hawthorne7712 40 not bad considering the engine size, Anyway I will probably settle with MT 07 instead, not just it's lot cheaper but powerwise it's more than enough for my needs really. Thanks and safe riding 😀
Hawthorne 77 agreed had my 2017 2 years ,..once I put the ypipe on and let that MotoGP sound out it was addictive! I dailied it rain and snow 2 years, did track days and cross country trips! Most awesome bike I've owned and most fun to ride!
Jeremy Cubs I'll confirm 30. I did a cat delete, race filter and reflashed the ecu and still 30 but increase of 22hp at sea level!! They really de-tuned the ecu from Factory.
Like you, I've owed the Tuono (2) and the SuperDuke. I bought the MT-10 about 3 months ago and am loving it. Also, I've had the opportunity to ride the BMW S 1000 r on a couple of occasions. This is my favorite of this group for roominess, comfort and the way the power comes on which I can easily modify according to my mood. It doesn't have the quality components of these others and there is a sense to me of a plastic look compared to the others mentioned above. Still, the girls at work like it too, one calling my new bike, "Sick". It's performance is brilliant. My son mirrored my experience (especially in performance mode 1 and 2): "This bike just wants to GO!" My SuperDuke and Tuonos always felt a bit boring when in traffic - when in me needing to to be observant - a good citizen. It was almost like grinding teeth with them. However, the Yamaha somehow doesn't irk me and is quick, smooth and easily modulated. An MRA racing screen really is the only addition I desired, it looks great and takes wind pressure off on the open road. I like the stock seat just fine since I don't go long distances. I'm getting about 28.5 mpg, currently yielding Tuono range which I actually can live with since I don't ride with groups and love so much the sweetness of this fine bike's performance (I remember you hated that aspect of the T). My Husky SuperMoto is the sister bike and yields enthusiastic acceleration and about 51 mpg when I'm looking for an alternative. If you can believe Consumer Reports, there is goodness in this brand's reliability as icing on the cake. Bottom line: you nailed it in your review.
Jonny Begood was debating between '17 sueprduke R and Tuono Factory v4 1100 , both $17,500 plus fees 😳 but performance wise the only route I wanted comming from an r1M prior . Waited for the MT10 to come out and glad I did, saved half lol and truly loved the bike!! Eventually decat it (best $130 spent) race filter and rehash putting it at 182hp and dropping 32lbs of cat weight . Sold the bike after 2 years to divorce and getting another soon , going MT10 again🙂
Picked up a blue 2018 MT-10 last Sept., it's simply a marvelous bike that is so intoxicating to ride . Really like the cruise control. Originally I did not like the looks of it when it came out it is so different. Slowly I warmed up to the looks. After riding one I had to get one.
I had a smile on my face all day after riding it for the first time. Reminded me of the first riding experience I ever had.
I was grinning ear to ear during this test ride
First cut is the deepest
-1 tooth front and get the mando-flash and it's definitely fast. Still not quite Tuono fast but close. Yamaha though so no time at the shop!
Nothing beats the Tuono! ❤
@@claypruim1481 next year the Ducati V4 street fighter will fly past easy.
@@srtspeedy4983 how many times do you have to race someone on the street?
@@ruinerfixxxer not often even on the MT10. But you dont have to race someone to feel the 40hp difference. Love the MT10 and the 160hp is enough for 99.9% off the riders out there.
@@srtspeedy4983 People said the same thing about the Panigale V4. And in 44 Teeth testing, it was a half second slower than the RSV4 per lap, even makes 20~ more HP and 30lbs lighter.
After owning one for a year and half it's honestly the best all-around bike I've ever owned out of 5 bikes I've owned and numerous other bikes I've tried. The chassis is very engaging.
I felt right at home on it after only a matter of minutes. Very rare for me to feel that way on a new bike. It's a magical machine
My friend had one , I couldn't believe how easy it was to ride fast in the corners straight away , the best bike ive riden
Yamaha is a premium manufacturer for sure!!!
Best bike I have owned. The complete package. Really like the exhaust as it sounds like an aftermarket system . Amazing power delivery. Fabulous in corners. Will wheelie off the throttle in 3rd gear in mode 1.

I upgraded from black 2017MT09 to black 2019MT10 couple of months ago. Already more than 5000km her, bunch of mods and I absolutely love it! Ima keep this jizzmachine forever
Congratulations on the upgrade! Any advice you'd give MT-09 owners that are looking to upgrade? Like biggest long term ownership difference?
@@DukeOfDCI did 16000km on MT09 and 5000km - not entirely sure this is long term, but I think it allows me to at least compare the two.
First of all, they are both absolutely amazing bikes.
Service intervals are the same, so there's no difference in maintenance costs, but you'll spend more on fuel and tires on MT10, that's for sure. She is thirsty.
MT10 is bigger, faster, a little bit heavier (193kg vs 210kg), but nearly as agile as MT09. It's suspension is much harder from factory - bike feels a lot more planted than MT09, especially in longer, faster corners, also in higher speeds it's lot more solid than MT09.
Sound - both badly need decat and pipe. Can't really compare 3 and 4 cylinder crankshaft engines in terms of sound, but they both sound absolutely godly - I had Black Widow exhaust on MT09 and SP engineering on MT10.
It all comes down to your riding style and what environment you ride in. Pick MT09 if you commute, live in a city, like a bit (a lot) of hooliganism after work or on weekends. A bit of touring is also possible with MT09.
Opt for MT10 for hooliganism lvl 9000+, if you do more longer rides and occasional touring.
All in all, can't go wrong with either. They are a great bargain considering price/performance/reliability. You know those engines won't skip a beat during your ownership.
This is some SERIOUS consumer reporting here, and invaluable information to any readers in the market. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Used to drive that exact road on the weekends since it was right outside of base. What a throwback
I'm convinced. Gonna get one after I get out of basic. I have been looking at getting one of these bad boys for a while and this video has absolutely done it for me.
I absolutely love mine. Going from my gsxr to that it's got a way broader power band, more comfortable, and better all around. If you can, get the sp version unless you like being able to tune your suspension.
Can you get an MT10 SP version in the United States? I thought those were only sold in Europe and other countries, am I wrong?
@@johnnygorena5318 Unfortunately we can't, and it really bugs the hell out of me. But we have the normal MT10 here tho.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BIKE, I HAD THE HONOR OR RENTING ONE FOR DAYTONA BIKE WEEK! SO COMFY, SO SMOOTH, CRUISE CONTROL. THE SOUNDS!!!!
I got one 3 weeks ago. Hopefully I'll get the 1000 mile break-in out of the way Saturday. My first Japanese bike and I love it.
BTW, what mic setup are you using? Your audio is a perfect blend of engine and voice.
just buy the little foam/ fluffy blob for the mic. its kills all the air noise.
nice review, I actually bought 2 motorcycles from Coleman in Woodbridge ,MT-10 is probably gonna be my next one...
Pretty good review! I love riding my 2015 FJ-09...great engine, mpg and smooth riding for long distances. You kinda solidified my thoughts of upgrading to the MT10 maybe next year. Again great review!
Thank you! It’s always nice to get positive feedback from an owner
Great bike. Only weak part is the fragile headlight. Get some headlight protectors becouse mine cracked after just 3000km.
The headlight are expensive to replace.
after 2 years of having a mt-07 i really want to try this bike out! :D
Waited so long for this review.... finally it's here...❤️🔥🔥🔥
Woo!!
after a 20 year break I sat on the MT06-10 and being tall the MT-10 fit he bill. I didn't read up to much before buying it but I clearly made a great choice, I was literally in the dealership for 2 hours sitting on many many bikes at the MT10 felt right. It did scare the piss out of me when I really got on the throttle for the first few times. I never felt anything like that before at 150+ HP. thanks for the video. Go ride on one if you on the fence. Im 6'3" 248lbs and im comfortable. I also went with the comfort seat (2 spinal fusions over here).
Congrats on the new bike duke
A friend of mine has one of those bikes and loves it, and he's not really a naked bike kinda guy. He loves the bike's power and it sounds amaaaaaazing with the aftermarket exhaust he put on it. Those bikes sound so great with an aftermarket exhaust
Omg I bet it sounds epic with an exhaust. Do you know which one he has?
@@DukeOfDC Two bros
Just try getting the jump against a good rider on an MT-10 from around 40-60 mph. Good luck. The MT-10 just explodes from those mid range speeds.
BLACK05GO1 there's a reason.l for that most don't know. 🙂 the 2017 Yamaha FZ10 only had 160hp compared to its also crossplane 4 R1 brothers 200+ BUT Yamaha gave the MT10 a HUGE airbox, tuning and fueling to make the FZ10 produce more Torque than the R1 and from a very very low rom but with a. Road curve they the rev range. Yamaha also gave it a slightly lower gear ratio, lowered the rev range and with magical ecu work, the 16hp MT10 has the quickest 0-60mph time of ANY production motorcycle of Earth. Quicker than more HyperCars for that matter. 🙂 my R1M was approaching 100 by end of first gear and only in power for part. My MT10 revs out just a hair past 60mph and power almost from start,.irs essentially a 0-60 weapon or low roller. Lol but like u said , takes practice as the front wheel always want up. Think all MT10 owners know the 0-60 deal so any bike or car u sit at a light of roll with is anneas take down if u rise. 🙂 that same principle is why it's so dangerous o shorter tracks , the corner exit and torque out well makes up for a loss on the back straight at richter Tracks.
Waited for years for this! I bought it in Mars, such a nice bike :)
It’s a truly amazing motorcycle
you bought this in MARS?!
I tried the MT-10SP not expecting anything special... boy I was so wrong! This bike is brutal yet easy to ride, very nimble, powerful, it has amazing suspensions and it's comfortable too. I think I'm in love with it, too bad I cannot afford to buy one.
Right?!?! It's seriously so good. Hope you subscribe for more!
@@DukeOfDC done!
You're awesome! Thank you :)
I have a 2019 sp love the colour TFT display and ohlins suspension it's amazing 😁
The superduke, s1000r, tuono and the monster 1200 defiently has better components like brakes/suspension/electronis. The MT10 is kinda budget compared to the european super nakeds. The prices varies from country to country, for example where I live the MT10 cost the same as a 1290 superduke r brand new, the superduke is way more value for money then👍🏻
Scandi MC Your points are valid. What’ you didn’t mention though is reliability. The KTM and the Ducati have horrible reliability/durability issues when compared to Yamaha. Not my opinion, based solely on data. They are still good choices as long as your clear about what your getting into.
100% if you can get a super duke for the same price, brand new, then that's an obvious pick. In the states the SDR is several thousand more dollars.
Scandi MC ... 100% correct 👌👍
Neo Musa I have a KTM now a lot of my friends have other KTMs and ducatis, my friends with yamahas have had more problems lol. A decade ago ducati and KTM had bad relaibility, but the last years they have improved a lot. Wouldnt hesistate to get a euro bike because of their rumours
@@scandimc Anecdotal evidence is not reliable. Stick to actual statistics.
Will probably be my next bike. I've had 600-1000cc super sport bikes. I picked up a speed triple a few years ago and didn't realize what i was missing with the naked sport bikes. On paper this looks like the perfect street bike.
Curious if you did a comparison between this 2019 Yamaha MT10 and the 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS
Speed triple is probably better, never ridden either so i could be wrong. Triump is such a premium brand though compared to yamaha
I've owned one for well over 3 years and 23K miles. Such a great bike. It's a bit thirsty with a smallish tank but I can still put up with that.
I test rode one the other day and I was equally impressed. I have never been on a more balanced and easy to ride bike. It was surprisingly comfortable and the suspension was great. I do own a KTM Super Duke GT as well so it was a good comparison. If I had to make the same choice today I think I would get the MT10 over the KTM. Reliability, affordability and pure fun makes this is a tough bike to beat. If they were the same price it would be a VERY tough call but I think I would still lean toward the MT10 with bags a and a shield.

Same here.
I owned a SDGT for about a year (11k miles) and had a minor accident. Insurance company totaled it though.
Picked up a nicely modded 2018 MT10 with 3500 miles for $8500 last week.
When I was looking around I was nervous that any other bike would leave me wanting more after the KTM 1290 engine.
For comparison purposes the SDGT was stock and the MT10 did have a: cat delete, ECU flash, R1 rear shock, R1 front and rear master cylinders, slightly lowered handlebar clamps, R1 rear sets, suspension set up for track, new brake/clutch levers, among other mods.
So the riding position is a bit more aggressive than stock and the suspension stiffer than many might like for the street. But I really like it set up like this.
Have rode it 3 times for about 2 hours each and have no problems with comfort.
Also, the stock SDGT probably weighs 50-60 lbs more than my modded MT10.
And I’m not sure what kind of power the cat delete/flash added but I’m sure it helped.
Seat of the pants I would say under 5k rpm my MT10 feels like it pulls harder (the SD really doesn’t pull wildly until about 5k rpm), 5k-8k rpm the SD pulls harder, over 8k rpm pretty evenly matched.
As far as the brakes, and it does have the R1 master cylinders (and weighs less), I think it stops just as well or better.
What really makes me love my MT10 as compared to the SDGT is the handling. I can take corners, that I am familiar with how I took them with the SDGT, with more speed, stability and much more ease.
It handles that much better and is easier to throw around and take corners at speed while feeling more stable.
Wasn’t sure when I bought it, but after riding it a few days I definitely like it better than the SDGT.
And the bike I got with the mods/price was a vastly superior value compared to a used SDGT.
I got the h2 and 2020 zx6r, now imma get this as my first and only naked bike
I test rode this couple of months ago against MT09 but decided for MT09. Felt like MT10 just wanted to kill me and just wanted to 150km/h at all times! Or I did? 🤔
Love the cruise control but the price hike for it is just too much (there’s more I know)
Nice review and in short. 😂🤣
Juraj Benak Lololol this is the most accurate comment . Lolol. Had an MT10 and power wheelied up on many many occasions unintentionally . Lol corner exit was the wrong place. It's also what I LOVED a Kurt the bike though. 👍
I ride a 2014 cb1000r that has no rider aides or ABS. I also ride a fjr1300 that has abs and traction and cruise control. Love both bikes. I can live without abs or traction control. Cruise control is hard to ever give up again though.
Isn’t it amazing?!
I can see your enthusiasm as I have a 3-year-old FJ 09 and I think it is the best one up sport touring bike. I can't imagine how much nicer the more powerful and so much more technically advanced the MT 10 would be. Enjoy.
I have a 2017 FZ10, and really enjoy the bike. They can be had for the mid $11ks if you negotiate at all. Great bike, reliable fun. Much more torquey down low than the Z1000 that I had prior to owning it. Not sure what the Dyno would say on it, but I was sold on the difference just from the test ride.
Definitely my favorite supernaked.
Very cool!
Nice vid I’m amazed someone who really likes a bike talks about instead of giving cons about a bike so they don’t sound over excited
Absolutely the best in its class imho. I have had them all.
I still dream about this bike
Great review. I was just at that dealership for their Demo day on Cinco de Mayo. Any-who currently have the XSR900 and will eventually move up, thinking about the MT10. My bike and the MY09 are crazy flickable. The weight on the MT10 is 463 wet. Does it feel noticeably less flickable than MT09
It doesn't feel noticeably heavier than the MT-09 when riding at 60% as seen in the video, but on a track I think you'd begin to feel the extra weight. Not sure if it would negatively impact the ride though. It's very well setup.
I found the MT09 nervous. Did not bound with it like I did with the 10. Loads off Confident on that bike.
Thanks for the review! But why is it better than the S1000R, Superduke or Tuono?
I don’t know that it is better. I mean the Super Duke is like my jam all the way. I just really love this MT-10 and it’s great value for money
@@DukeOfDC well you did inspire me to go check out my local dealer ;)
That's awesome! Did you get a chance to take the MT-10 out for a spin?
@@DukeOfDC Nope, unfortunately they didn't have one available as a demo. I'm gonna contact some other dealers to see where I can test one!
Have you tried using the GoRollick service to see if you could find any local to you?
Which one you like more Mt10 or the Tuono ?
How do you like it compared to the 1290 Superduke? One thing I don't like about the duke is the engine braking.
looking at buying one in spring after the snow melts here, im riding a 2002 r6 right now and i live somewhere where the roads are super shitty, i need something with a little softer suspension and more comfortable, i want to be able to go on long rides across the country if i want. the r6 has been fun but its time to upgrade
subbed, great review and your excitement was contagious lol.
You're the best :D Thanks for this comment. These remarks seriously make my day
The best reviews this side of the pond.
You really thing so!? 😊
Still a year before i can buy one of these. So excited for the end of the year.
Good luck my friend! I believe you'll have one soon!!
Nice! I am looking at getting one. Great video!
The MPG is the only bad thing Either the tank is too small or the engine is too enefficant
All the Yamaha engineers when straight for power LOL
horrible fuel mileage.
I bought the MT-09 after riding both. Fun factor of the 9 out produced the 10 for me. If I was a track guy, or gonna throw some side bags sport tour with it I'd had opted for the 10. The 10 seemed like you had to spool it up to get any response...the 09 was "tap on full" right off the bottom of the rev range. Thousands less and easier on fuel (*not that that matters*). Complete hoon bike is the 09 - subtle and cool roller is the 10. YMMV
Both great bikes, so congratulations on your choice!
I have noticed that a lot of youtubers dont talk about if the bike has a wiggle righter. Is that because it is on all motorcycles now???
Oh. My. God... a wiggle righter?! That is the single best way I have ever heard someone say 'Steering Dampener" and I shall steal it as my own haha. To answer your question, it has a stock one, but many people upgrade.
@@DukeOfDC Haha, do most of them have dampeners as standard because of its life saving ability or is it still random? I want a bike but Id hate to die from a random tank slapper.
As far as I have researched, the MT-10 comes with one stock, however many people upgrade ra to a ohlins unit. I'm with you man - easily fixed problem that could be catastrophic
Found you from my recommend videos, new subscriber here. Very informative and overall a great video, nice work! :)
New subscriber... you mean new bff. Love the support!
The Suzuki GSX S 1000 on the DYNO has more horsepower and the same torque cost 2000 less I have ridden all the naked it all comes down to the rider more than anything there that close. I'm coming off a ducati monster I went with the GSX S1000 the B MW was nicer but not 5000 dollars more nicer plus dealership plays a big part with the European bikes other wise I would have gotten the Aprilia Tor. Then reliability another issue so be safe on your travels
Mark Miller agreed 100% I went with a Gsxs 1000 now sold it for a gsxr 1000 and I’m not looking back 🙂
Took my old Gsxs down the 1/4 with a mate of mine with an mt10
After 10 passes my pb was 10.9 @ 130mph his pb was 11.1 @ 129 mph
Moral of the story there’s bugger all difference between the 2 power wise the Gsxs is a couple of grand cheaper and also has brembo front brakes compared to the yammie
Both great bikes but I don’t see an extra 3-5k on the mt10 over the Gsxs 1000.
It's on the short list now!
Very interesting. Now you've all got me curious on the Suzuki. Time to ring up a dealership lol
DukeOfDC mate bang for buck you can’t beat it. I picked up my used Gsxs 1000 for $9900 the cheapest mt10 I could find was $13900.
I didn’t see 4k in the mt10. (Aud)
Those k5 motors are beast!
Biggest thing going for the Gsxs is value you just can’t beat them. Add Suzuki reliability to boot! If money is no object there are plenty of better naked bikes out there 🙂
Holy crap, I like need to take one of these bikes out ASAP
I'm salivating, but got my heart set on a triple. FZ09
btw- is there a difference between MT 09 and original FZ09?
Would you take this over a Tuono?
Cameron The great I own a Tuono V4 and it is intoxicating to ride every single time. My friend just picked up The MT10 in this color. I bought my Tuono with 1k miles at a huge discount because of the purchase being in late fall. If money is no object then pick up a Tuono factory but honestly the MT10 really is a steal. It too is a bike you want to ride every day and the cross plane crank is unique in sound giving it plenty of character. I’m thinking about getting it as a second bike . The riding position is a click better than The Tuono, being a little more upright. I’ve also owned a Triumph Speed Triple. It was one of the best bikes all around that I have owned. Down turn in 08 forced the sale. I hope this helps.
This is quite possibly the best response to this question. Thank you McNabbula
Duke I know you also rode the zx14. How do they compare? Regards
I hate to ask, but how is the wind protection on the highway? thanks nice video
Wind protection was actually decent. The instrument cluster cowl deflected a lot of chest and shoulder wind. There was wind around my helmet but it wasn’t hindering
Great video...I'm glad to see a new motovlogger!
Thank you! Hope you subscribed and will be able to check out a lot more of my content this summer
I have a 2010 Kawasaki Z750 and I rode to the location where i would test drive the MT 10(Through the Yamaha MT tour). Got an MT 10 with akrapovic exhaust. The difference is night and day not only power wise but also in terms of dynamics. When i finished my ride and hoped on my Z to head back home), on the first turn i felt like i was riding a wooden plank with 2 wheels.
I have test rode both the S1000R and the Tuono 1100 Factory. Fell in love with the Tuono, sound, smoothness everything was top notch but you get the reliability of an Aprilia. The S1000R also is extremely nice (the brakes though are in a different league, you need 1 finger to stop the bike) but again you get BMW reliability. So I decided to buy an MT 10 in the coming months since i use my bike daily for commute. As far as i am concerned the only drawback of the MT 10 is the fuel consumption which pretty much is the same as my Z. Although it is worth mentioning that both the Tuono and S1000R have a significantly more advanced electronics package,(especially cornering abs, and advanced traction control)
I wish we could have mt-10 sp in the states.
Now that I've heard so much about it, I do too.... I do too
@@DukeOfDC I've been thinking about just saving up an ordering one from the UK and having it shipped here

They are better than they used to be for sure.
Hey my guy, I'm down here in Spotsylvania, Va and I'm thinking about buying some land to build a house there in Woodbridge bro. I'm also thinking about either buying a Yamaha MT 10 or a Ducati V4 S...
I bought mine as brand new. My 2017 FZ10 has 11300 miles on it as of now. Just came back from a 1058 miles trip in two days. Sharing my likes and dislikes
Likes:
other than mod expense and tires absolute peace of mind in maintenance. I take care of oil changes and chain maintenance myself. I hear often my fellow riders with bmw and ducati cribbing about maintenance cost. I used to ride 100cc motorcycle for years and jumped straight to FZ10 after almost 8 years break. This bike didn't scare me and was very confident inspiring, super stable and will bring smile on your face when you open throttle. Cruise control was a blessing for my long rides.
Dislikes:
Seat must be upgraded. I went for seat cover Italian made with some extra cusion. Problem solved.
Breaks came from factory not very good. Upgraded the front break pack under $100 and worth every penny.
Miles range on a full tank gas is very poor. I keep looking for gas stations every 100 miles. This is a serious head ache asking fellow riders to pull over. Stock Rear tire won't last even 3500 miles. I do not do drifts or stunts. With dual compound sport touring you can expect close to 5k.
Throttle response is little twitchy. Especially B mode. I normally leave it A mode.
Iam thinking of FJR 1300 as an option for touring but love this bike so much and do not want to trade in.
Have a 2017 fz/mt10.....perfect .got the comfort seat and pirelli corsa Ross 3s..awesome!!!!
what camera are you using ? is it one of those that are built into the helmet ? im interested. thanks.
The thing about the "premium" bikes is that their price is premium, but their performance is not that much better than the mt 10, and certainly their reliability is substandard, in other words you are not doing better.....if you spent the money difference on the mt10, you would end up with a much better bike, much more reliable, and possibly still cheaper than say a Ducati panigale.... Yes the panigale is a beautiful bike, but way too expensive for what you get...
BMW S1000R is faster and cheaper. All round, a far better bike.
@@steven4114 is it?, you can get a new MT 10 for around 11k and a s1000 for 15k is it worth the price hike?
@@DylanCarGuy yes. Look at all the standard kit on the S1000R, brakes ,suspension, heated grips, cruise control. My biggest gripe with the MT-10 is how many "corners" they cut.

A great review. What is a quick shifter...for the gearsI know...and can one be fitted to an MT-07?
A quick shifter pretty much cuts power to the engine for a split second, which allows the gearbox to switch gears while bypassing the need to pull in the clutch. Yes, an aftermarket quickshifter can be installed into an MT-07.

Joplin is definitely a fun road in Woodbridge. It’s always good to see you ride in areas I’m familiar with. I live about 5 minutes from Joplin, and work about 5 minutes from Hampton rd which I see you riding a lot on in your videos.
Any other good roads in the area you suggest for a spirited ride?
I’m just discovering these lovely roads as well. I hear the Plains has some beautiful spots as well. Probably worth a visit out there!
Nice review I was going to meet up with you at a cars and coffee a couple years ago, but I got reckless driving for going 91mph in VA lol! So since then! F VA! But once I get my bike ill let you know so we can ride! My cars no match for big bikes. Stay safe out there
Thanks for the note! Sorry about that VA 5-0... lol safe riding!
please do a review of the honda cb1000r
I will!!
That's where I bought my V-strom! Keith is the best.
Did you buy the 1,000 or 650. I have 1,000 18
Great review! Tell Coleman Motorsports they just sold a bike from your TH-cam channel.
What gloves you wearing in this vid please?
Does the gear case stick out like the MT-09 you reviewed?
9.04 ' That sound was... perhaps repetitious snippets throught the video to hyper charge the moment. Made me laugh. I need one of these bikes.
I have an MT10. I am loving it!
That mirror would drive me nuts
Would you prefer mt10 or BMW 1000r?
I love my FZ10 it is does everything and has tons of accessories to keep you happy. Everything you need for the street. I like how it has a unique look that doesn't look like every other bike out there. But the main thing is this is a riders bike you will get addicted.
I am addicted... currently in MT-10 rehab :)
You should give the mt10 sp a spin, and let us know if the bump in price is worth for the fancy suspension.
We don't get them in the US :(
Demoing a previous year, the side of my right leg got way hot from heat dissipation. Has anyone notice? Has there been some better shielding added?
Fun knowledge

Visceral..lol. I totally enjoyed your vlog DukeOfDC..
Can’t believe you’d never ridden/driven Joplin road before lol.
Does anyone know what he meant when he said that they are holding back on the 09 and 07? I had the impression that the mt series were all beasts.
So is he no clutch shifting or is it an automatic?
I use the clutch
Does the 2019 come standard with the auto blipper as well?
No, none of the MT range have autoblippers
Bro are you in VA ??? You near Woodbridge and Nova VA? Near ma

Thanks man! Yeah, it's been a really fun hobby of mine over the years. Coleman has been very supportive.
