I've had my MT10 for 4 months now and almost 3k miles, I absolutely love it. You're right they're so much fun, there is nothing out there that quite compares. I like how you took it out in the rain to show how easy it is to putt around
I love my MT10. The mid-range pull is amazing, even in 4th gear. Third gear power wheelies all day long. I like how the exhaust almost sounds like an after-market system. It has an electronic steering damper, cruise control and a 12v accessory outlet. I like how Yamaha configured the traction control so that it allows wheelies in the first 2 settings. Smart. My favorite bike to date.
The way Yamaha's bikes ages during time has no comparison with other brands. They're so futuristic, that in 20 years from now it's gonna look futuristic. Deal with it.

GREAT review thanks!!! I have owned 4 R1s and 2 MT10s including one SP and they are truly amazing bikes. I now have a 2009 FZ1 which I love to bits!!! Simon
The '05 GSX-R 1000 engine was widely lauded as one of the best sportbike engines ever (I'd not go that far, but I agree it was a great engine), and is loved almost universally. It's torquey nature and overall character is perfect for a naked/streetfighter, so Using it was a very smart move both in terms of R&D cost savings, as well as marketing...No doubt that specific engine swayed some buyers.
I've had a bunch of bikes but my 19' MT10 is by far the best bike I've owned and ridden. It does so many things great and that front end never wants to stay planted. You didnt even mention cruise control! And quick shifter is standard after 17 as well. The sound of the CP4 is intoxicating. Love your videos
I love my new MT-10. My main riding quartet is on KTM Super Duke R’s and a Multistrada. They all took turns on the Yamaha and declared it best handling of the group and the motor a “beast.” They loved it and I am so happy with my purchase. We all prefer the grunt off the bottom of the KTMs, but these are almost 1300cc twins so they are gonna perform better there. Once you spin the MT up a little, the motor is powerful, but very controllable. I’d call it, “refined insanity.” Highly recommended.
Yeah me and my mate swapped bikes for a quick ride, he had a suzuki gsxS 1000, I struggled to get my mt10 back off him cus he loved it that much! In comparison the suzuki was abit dull
Love my FZ10. Traded my R-1 in for it. I get compliments up the a**. Its definitely a fun commuter bike. I get goosebumps on the way to and from work. I advise anyone to at least test drive one. You won't regret it. Blessings everyone. Ride safe.
Funny! I went the other way. My last bike was the 1290. I like especially how the MT-10 was smoother and lower in the seating. The KTM had beautiful componentry and such a special look. The KTM bikes I have owned all seem to warp their rotors such that with light breaking in street traffic they pulse and, I'm not alone in that experience. Oh and, way, WAY superior gas mileage with the 1290.
You gotta slowly fill up the last .5-.7 gallons above the splash guard. It takes some patience to hold it the gas barely flowing, waiting for it to go down, or trying not to overflow. It isn't too bad tho and takes an extra minute for more range considering it doesnt go far. Someone told me and I've been doing it since
@@marshalg6220 so how much can you actually squeeze in there? I'm spoiled with my vfr800 on range. It fits 4.5 gallons and gets me right about 200 miles if I try. But for a few reasons I think this MT/FZ10 will replace the vfr eventually for me.
I have never had the tank completely empty but I think its about the 4.5 or 4.6 you just gotta slow fill after the splash thing. It still averages like 32 if your a mix of city/highway but every gallon is worth it. By far best bike I've ever ridden and everyone who has one says the same things!
Your science man got the cross- vs flat-plane crank backwards for which revs freer. The cross-plane has secondary balance, but not primary. The flat has primary balance but not secondary. Engines out of primary balance require counterweights. Engines out of secondary balance don't necessarily require balance shafts, but it would suck to ride one without. However, high revving engines end up needing counterweights regardless of primary balance to stop the crankshaft from bending and twisting. So the flat-plane crank needs both, but the cross-plane only needs counterweights this makes the flat-crank engine have more rotational mass, and thus rev slower. It's not really about how high an engine can rev, but how quickly it does. Historically European sports car manufacturers prefer flat-plane V8s for the exhaust sound, and American companies preferred cross-plane V8s for smoothness. It wasn't because of the crank orientation, but other design parameters that allowed the European engines to rev freer.
My buddy just bought your 09 fz 1 & he loves it 👍 i really wish u could've found a better day to show off the true potential of this fz10 still an awesome viddy brother keep em comin🤘🤙🏍🤙🤘
I have a 2018 MT-10 for the street, its a lot of fun, but you have to flash and tune it to get the most out of it as well as dial the throttle response in.
I’ve thought about all this talk about flashing the bike buying a PCommander but I’ve heard horror stories, having said that I own this bikes but the 2019 version, for now I think I’ll leave it stock 160hp is enough for me- I love the way the bike sounds with the stock exhaust also, probably the only guy who does:)
@@johnnygorena5318 you don't necessarily need a Power Commander, you can just have your ECU flashed that will improve the performance of your throttle response and smooth out how the engine behaves. When bikes are stock they have a lot of unnecessary restrictions on them to meet government environment standards, but they are designed to be unleashed. Unleash your bike, you will love it even more.
The FZ bikes have always been my favorite. The fz07 is the most fun bike power to weight ratio, wheelie out of every turn, it's wild! I really love the older carburetor FZ1 bikes. Ride safe! I ride a 1980 XJ Maxim 750, I like old school 🤘
You are correct. My dad has a 07 cbr1000rr with full exhaust and flash. I keep up to about 100 with my MT10 then he walks me lol. Different type of ride though, it’s a blast
Goodmorning from Toronto Canada. My friend just bought one of these. Such a beautiful bike!!!!! Said it on another thread of yours. They need to put better louder reputable exaust systems. Awsome awsome engine!!!!
I have this exact bike. Things you basically have to do with this thing: - Mirrors aren’t wide enough, replace them with handlebar end mirrors. - Tail tidy - You’ll break your front turn signals just walking past the bike since they stick out so much. Add a pair of Proton 500 turn signals up front - Quick shifter. 2017 model didn’t include it standard
Hey Sean, I'm currently looking for a new Supermoto. Do you have any recommendations on one? I've been riding dirtbike all my life so I want to take it to the street (legally) lol
I love my bike I have a smile every time I get off of it. I like that it can do it all almost anyway track days, canyon carving, cruising, and sport touring maybe not off road lol but it is so comfortable but the key is to dial in the suspension and it will ride so good I kept the stock seat even though I use the comfort seat for long hauls. I used to have a super bike and loved it but couldn't have two bikes I wanted to ride longer and farther without giving up the fun this one did it for me.
I've seen only two videos from this channel. You have confirmed my suspicions. I feel like I just watched a 12 minute marketing video designed by a bunch of 50 yr olds to appeal to a 18-25 demographic by using catch phrases and buzzwords that were found to produce a positive reaction in focus groups. This guy is the Dr. Squatch of motorcycles.
Everything that's not a cruiser is insane to him haha, he should stick to cruiser reviews, he's clearly not qualified to talk about anything that moves quicker than my grandma's Camry.
It's not the exact same engine. The engine in the MT is tuned down from 200hp to only 160. The torque is the same but both hp and two come lower in the rev range compared to the R1. Add far as weight goes the R1 has titanium headers and the MT has stainless. The catalyst is also different between the two. I just bought a leftover 2019 raven two months ago and it's just silly. It's absolutely insane
Why? Just mod yours and your mt09 will still be over 50 pounds lighter and just as fast as the mt10 in straight line and handle even better because of the lighter weight and smaller gas tank. One exhaust change and a flash on the computer and done. The ft09 does everything better up to 60 to 100mph. So unless you intend to spend most of your time over those speeds in a straight line you are actually downgrading your (city) daily experience.
@@miker1670 actually the small gas tank on this bike is something that really bothers me so I would rather have a bigger tank. Also the mt-10 looks better in my opinion. Plus I'm one of those weirdos that likes my stuff to have warranties lol
@@heff520 but your only talking motor performance and shifting enhancements. There is SOOO much more to a motorcycle then driving a straight line. Of course mod for mod equal mt10 vs mt09 in a drag race the mt10 would win . But when you consider nobody actually drives a motorcycle in a straight line only, you have to factor in the weight savings, size of frame and circumference of the motorcycle for ergonomics and agility. My point is if you do all your driving under 100 mph the mt09 is the superior machine because the performance is beyond enough for city performance fun. If we put the same mods on a mt09 as your listed above the mt09 could wheelie all day and zoom from 0 to 30 mph faster then a mt10 with equal mods simply from the weight savings and once at those speeds safety is improved on the mt09 because it can corner better from the lighter weight and brake much better. Overall the mt09 for (city,real life driving fun) is superior in every way to the mt10) If all you want to do is head to a 1/4 mile track and drive straight down it then yes modify your mt10. But who wants to do that? There are other better choices for that . Picture this for moment. I ask you to travel around your city from one end to the other as fast as you can and we set a timer to record . I give you 2 exact motorcycles . I then put a 60 pound child on the back of one motorcycle and the other one I make it a little faster in a straight line. Now I want you think how many times you would need to stop quickly or turn quickly or sprint from 0 to 30mph. Not only would you return more quickly on the lighter motorcycle but your safety would be immensely improved from your ability to toss the bike around. Every inch counts and every second counts when a car is coming at you I'm sure if you imagine this you can see why the mt09 is the superior machine. So unless your job is a drag racer and you don't actually drive your motorcycle in the city then I really don't see how your argument has any substance
If you think MT-10 has a good low and middle range you should get your hands on 1290 KTM and also test that 50-115mph pull with one of those and you are going to be surprised :D
🔥🔥Yamaha NEED to release the SP package to the US market. Why they haven't yet is beyond me... Rest of the world gets better suspension, doesn't make sense🔥🔥
They don't really need to, and it would never sell at the price they would need to sell it at. For most people the stock FZ-10 suspension is fine, if you need more spring just re-spring and revolve for very little money. This bike is probably the best value on the market right now.
@@kevincraig8257 I think the only thing I would like is the TFT dash. There are so many good suspension options from Stoltec or Ohlins it doesn't bug me.
@@Coddingtown I don't know what the pricing is like there but in America we can buy a left over Tuono for the same price as a new MT-10. It is positioned in a strange place in the market here. Used is another story I just bought a 4000 mile 2017 MT-10 for $8600.
That`s putting it MILDLY. I had one for 2 weeks and i had no problem getting it to use 0.8 liter pr 10 km. I don`t know what that is in mpg but DAYUM! My Z1000 is thirsty but the MT10 was worse. And i don`t care. My next bike for sure
John`s Rabid Mutt 🍻 I have a z900. Not as powerful but a wonderful bike (especially after I modded the suspension) and the best bang for the buck out there.
pilninggas - Yes. It's not the expense of the gas it's the fact that the engine is so inefficient regardless of power. The cross plane has some wonderful attributes but fuel efficiency isn't one of them. They could put a larger tank on it and I still wouldn't buy it.
@@pilninggas I hate to sound like a dick with no appreciation for money but when i`m riding i`m not looking to save money on gas. It`s what gets me the most smiles pr mile. Riding makes life worth living and it costs what it costs :/
It's hard to find a reasonable second hand MT-10 where I'm from, owners just won't sell it until it's absolutely necessary, that tell you how good of a value it has (at least here).
@@88DG The HP difference is unimportant for the street, the MT-10 has more torque down low and makes it a far better bike for street riding than the R1. The engine is tuned for the street, whereas the R1 is tuned for the track.
@@djwordnyc does anybody do research these days. Mt10 - 81 lb ft @9 000 RPM and 160 hp @11 500 RPM R1 - 82 lb ft @11 500 RPM and 200 hp @13 500 RPM You won't notice any difference other than the lower gearing of the mt10 appearing as if it had more torque.
This was the first bike I ever bought brand new and one of my favorites of all time but like many comments say it is WAY too much temptation on public roads and absolutely will put your license in danger!!
I’m going to do you a solid and trade you my 2019 Duke 390 straight up. I know mine is 2 years newer but I’ll take the hit. I’ll even let you ride it down to me in Buford Georgia.
I believe Suzuki put a retuned K5 GSX-R engine in the GSX-S line because it has a steeper angle on the cylinders/pistons, which allowed them to fit those bikes together within the wheelbases that they wanted. The ‘05 GSX-R 1000 was also pretty much the pinnacle of pre-emission-regulation sportbikes.
I have an 18 mt-10. It's deficit going to get you into just as much trouble on the street as the R1. It's mostly just seen track time in the last few months. Absolute hoon machine.
I had a Mt07 for 4 years, I miss her grunt and slow revs wheelies. I got a MT09-SP which costed me, full mod less than € 10K and 2 months of work and waiting: Ecu remapped, homemade exhaust, BREMBO brakes upgraded and few other mods to get rid of some weight and better..I guess it's definitely an option before buying a Mt10 and in the end my Mt09 gets owned only on highways in pulling-runs which aren't actually my thing. And above all I see all my mates riding R1, Ninja or Mt10 in twisty roads not having the same amount of fun I have on my CP3. Even after covering the "1000 turns road" in racing style I get off the bike fresh, no pain, no resemblance of tiredness. I ride every day to work and Sport/Racing weekends so I needed a Naked bike. I've also tried the Triumph 765, MvAugusta tricilinders and enginewhise ain't bad at all but YAMAHA engines make the Mt series a master piece bike. Will I go for a Mt10???
Got 160 miles out of a tank once on the way back from Spain at night ,was running on fumes when I found a fuel station .normally between 100 to 120 miles per tank
2:32 loads of torque is bad for keeping traction. The reason you can come out of the corner was the weird firing interval which causes bigger batches of "recovery time" on your rear tire, which was very good for traction.
Hope you decide to keep this bike and make it your own personal bike! I recently found one exactly like your bike got lucky a hell paid 9k for it was a leftover at a small dealer in Mass!! had 7 miles on it when i got it now at 581 miles! previously had a 2016 R1 loved the sound of the crossplane got a Austin Racing exhaust on order for my FZ10 had one on my R1 Killer sound!! Also you should of mentioned the Cruise Control feature really awesome to have for highway riding!!
Canadia 0:25 ... sometimes natural selection is still failing on us ... and I just accepted that. Thank you @Srkcycles I find your content hilarious but not so serious ^^ take care when riding, dinosaurs on their way ...
I have a 2017 FZ-10 and it IS an awesome bike! There’s more the the heavier weight and lower power than an R1 though. It has different mid range biased cams it has a heavier flywheel the con rods and other pieces are steel instead of titanium like in the R1. The subframe is heavier too as mentioned. What also lends its self to the wheelie happy nature is a 2” shorter wheelbase in conjunction with the 2 tooth larger rear sprocket. It’s a fantastic bike and I picked mine up brand new in January of 2020 as a leftover for only $10k! I love this bike and the only bike I love more that I’ve owned was my 2002 Honda Blackbird I had back in 2007. A quick note on the CP4 engine as well. The crosplane crank delivers a smoother power output because of how it fires. Instead of two big power pulses like a flat plane crank it delivers four sequential independent power pulses so its much smoother and predictable on its power delivery.
Replace the seat with the comfort seat, add an exhaust, add the quick shifter and send the ECU to 2wheel dyno works. This will give exactly what you need. I recommend pipe workx exhaust, but there are many to choose from. The throttle mapping from the factory is kind of a mess.
i bought a 2021 MT10 last year and put about 6k on it so far, and its easily my favorite motorcycle ive ever owned. sure its not as fast as a r1 but for street its plenty for me anyway.

Was thinking the same thing. Also, you can’t do a zero to sixty reading the stock speedo...they are not even close to accurate enough.
Well as long as he consistently does them that way then the results should be accurate.
Why don't you do a 0-80, as you can easily do it in 1st gear!
I have this exact bike. Things you basically have to do with this thing:
- Mirrors aren’t wide enough, replace them with handlebar end mirrors.
- Tail tidy
- You’ll break your front turn signals just walking past the bike since they stick out so much. Add a pair of Proton 500 turn signals up front
- Quick shifter. 2017 model didn’t include it standard
One of my favorite bikes I ever owned was a 2007 Z1000. I feel like this is a very similar type of bike yet more modern.

Hey Sean, I'm currently looking for a new Supermoto. Do you have any recommendations on one? I've been riding dirtbike all my life so I want to take it to the street (legally) lol
Aprilia dorsoduro 750 with mivv exhaust bruhh
@@matias4465 KTM 950/990 is way nicer imo
Dorso is a sweet itanlian machine though :)
The ktm duke 890 is pretty damn fun I got a 2013 ktm duke for super cheap but it was a 690cc about to throw dirt tires on it soon and have fun with it
none of these responses are actual supermotos lmfao
Suzuki Drz 400. ktm 350 or 500. Yamaha and Honda also have a few good options
I love my bike I have a smile every time I get off of it. I like that it can do it all almost anyway track days, canyon carving, cruising, and sport touring maybe not off road lol but it is so comfortable but the key is to dial in the suspension and it will ride so good I kept the stock seat even though I use the comfort seat for long hauls. I used to have a super bike and loved it but couldn't have two bikes I wanted to ride longer and farther without giving up the fun this one did it for me.
According to this guy, every bike is insane, and you DON'T want it. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
I've seen only two videos from this channel. You have confirmed my suspicions.
I feel like I just watched a 12 minute marketing video designed by a bunch of 50 yr olds to appeal to a 18-25 demographic by using catch phrases and buzzwords that were found to produce a positive reaction in focus groups. This guy is the Dr. Squatch of motorcycles.
Everything that's not a cruiser is insane to him haha, he should stick to cruiser reviews, he's clearly not qualified to talk about anything that moves quicker than my grandma's Camry.
Fastest huh? I’ve got a bking. Let’s go
WHY YOU DONT WANT A HONDA GROM!!!
I`m picking up mine this coming Saturday🤩 A 2017 Icon Blue MT-10 with 8400 miles on the clock. I`m moist!!
I bet that bike sounds killer with a straight through exhaust
Looking forward to getting this as my first bike.
I have a 2008 B-King I think I would be fine on this one.
Love my 10!! Of the 3 bikes I have owned and the 12 I have tested in Demo rides, this felt best for me and better yet, fully paid for!
It's not the exact same engine. The engine in the MT is tuned down from 200hp to only 160. The torque is the same but both hp and two come lower in the rev range compared to the R1.
Add far as weight goes the R1 has titanium headers and the MT has stainless. The catalyst is also different between the two.
I just bought a leftover 2019 raven two months ago and it's just silly. It's absolutely insane
The R1 is TI and the MT/FZ is steel crank and rods and valves.
I have a FZ-09 in this exact color scheme and holy shit I love it. Can't wait to upgrade to the MT-10 in a few years
Why? Just mod yours and your mt09 will still be over 50 pounds lighter and just as fast as the mt10 in straight line and handle even better because of the lighter weight and smaller gas tank. One exhaust change and a flash on the computer and done.
The ft09 does everything better up to 60 to 100mph. So unless you intend to spend most of your time over those speeds in a straight line you are actually downgrading your (city) daily experience.
@@miker1670 actually the small gas tank on this bike is something that really bothers me so I would rather have a bigger tank. Also the mt-10 looks better in my opinion. Plus I'm one of those weirdos that likes my stuff to have warranties lol
@@heff520 but your only talking motor performance and shifting enhancements. There is SOOO much more to a motorcycle then driving a straight line.
Of course mod for mod equal mt10 vs mt09 in a drag race the mt10 would win .
But when you consider nobody actually drives a motorcycle in a straight line only, you have to factor in the weight savings, size of frame and circumference of the motorcycle for ergonomics and agility.
My point is if you do all your driving under 100 mph the mt09 is the superior machine because the performance is beyond enough for city performance fun. If we put the same mods on a mt09 as your listed above the mt09 could wheelie all day and zoom from 0 to 30 mph faster then a mt10 with equal mods simply from the weight savings and once at those speeds safety is improved on the mt09 because it can corner better from the lighter weight and brake much better.
Overall the mt09 for (city,real life driving fun) is superior in every way to the mt10)
If all you want to do is head to a 1/4 mile track and drive straight down it then yes modify your mt10. But who wants to do that? There are other better choices for that .
Picture this for moment. I ask you to travel around your city from one end to the other as fast as you can and we set a timer to record .
I give you 2 exact motorcycles . I then put a 60 pound child on the back of one motorcycle and the other one I make it a little faster in a straight line.
Now I want you think how many times you would need to stop quickly or turn quickly or sprint from 0 to 30mph. Not only would you return more quickly on the lighter motorcycle but your safety would be immensely improved from your ability to toss the bike around. Every inch counts and every second counts when a car is coming at you
I'm sure if you imagine this you can see why the mt09 is the superior machine.
So unless your job is a drag racer and you don't actually drive your motorcycle in the city then I really don't see how your argument has any substance
If you think MT-10 has a good low and middle range you should get your hands on 1290 KTM and also test that 50-115mph pull with one of those and you are going to be surprised :D
well that´s what 300 cc do in a motor this days .

🔥🔥Yamaha NEED to release the SP package to the US market. Why they haven't yet is beyond me... Rest of the world gets better suspension, doesn't make sense🔥🔥
They don't really need to, and it would never sell at the price they would need to sell it at. For most people the stock FZ-10 suspension is fine, if you need more spring just re-spring and revolve for very little money. This bike is probably the best value on the market right now.
@@TheDriversPerspective The MT10sp in Europe sell out and the base doesn't sell as well since they offer the nicer option.
I have the MT-10 now but would trade it for the sp in a heart beat
@@kevincraig8257 I think the only thing I would like is the TFT dash. There are so many good suspension options from Stoltec or Ohlins it doesn't bug me.
@@Coddingtown I don't know what the pricing is like there but in America we can buy a left over Tuono for the same price as a new MT-10. It is positioned in a strange place in the market here. Used is another story I just bought a 4000 mile 2017 MT-10 for $8600.
This is my dream bike! I currently have a '14 FZ-09 but I hope to have a MT-10 some day!
The GsxS uses a variant of the long block K5 motor.. it's a retuned new engine based of the best GSxR engine ever produced ..
I have the 750 and it’s an amazing bike.
i just got a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 and i love it
Just wanted to say high to all the people from Canadia.
I swapped from an MT-10 to an FZ1 but man, I loved that MT-10. It's got so much torque at mid-range rpm's, It's literally a baby R1.
MT-10 translates to EMPTY-10 meaning ... it's thirsty.
That`s putting it MILDLY. I had one for 2 weeks and i had no problem getting it to use 0.8 liter pr 10 km. I don`t know what that is in mpg but DAYUM! My Z1000 is thirsty but the MT10 was worse. And i don`t care. My next bike for sure
John`s Rabid Mutt 🍻
I have a z900. Not as powerful but a wonderful bike (especially after I modded the suspension) and the best bang for the buck out there.
For me that was why it got taken off of my list. 110miles from a tank is useless.
pilninggas - Yes. It's not the expense of the gas it's the fact that the engine is so inefficient regardless of power. The cross plane has some wonderful attributes but fuel efficiency isn't one of them.
They could put a larger tank on it and I still wouldn't buy it.
@@pilninggas I hate to sound like a dick with no appreciation for money but when i`m riding i`m not looking to save money on gas. It`s what gets me the most smiles pr mile. Riding makes life worth living and it costs what it costs :/
Wish it was a dry day when you rode that bike. Those bikes sound insanely good with a good after market exhaust.
Come on man, reshoot this on a dry day and really give it the beans. This bike is not a rain day friendly bike!
This is what my Bike turned into. One of these will be in my driveway soon i hope.
It's hard to find a reasonable second hand MT-10 where I'm from, owners just won't sell it until it's absolutely necessary, that tell you how good of a value it has (at least here).
Where is 'here'?

Man! Thank you! I love the scriptures in each video! God Bless!
The engine in the FZ/MT -10 is not “exactly” the R1 engine, but it’s like 90% the same.
I'd say more than that considering the 40bhp difference
couple rods n pins, maybe valves are made of different materials. but the ecu is retuned to make torque down low and not focus on top end hp
@@indigohare3192 close but still not right a simple Google will tell you most of the differences.
@@88DG The HP difference is unimportant for the street, the MT-10 has more torque down low and makes it a far better bike for street riding than the R1. The engine is tuned for the street, whereas the R1 is tuned for the track.
@@djwordnyc does anybody do research these days.
Mt10 - 81 lb ft @9 000 RPM and 160 hp @11 500 RPM
R1 - 82 lb ft @11 500 RPM and 200 hp @13 500 RPM
You won't notice any difference other than the lower gearing of the mt10 appearing as if it had more torque.
Little less worried about riding my ninja250 to work tomorrow in the rain... new rider reporting for duty

I believe Suzuki put a retuned K5 GSX-R engine in the GSX-S line because it has a steeper angle on the cylinders/pistons, which allowed them to fit those bikes together within the wheelbases that they wanted. The ‘05 GSX-R 1000 was also pretty much the pinnacle of pre-emission-regulation sportbikes.

What’s up with your webpage you only have 7 bikes in inventory????? ☹️
Damn lol
I had a Mt07 for 4 years, I miss her grunt and slow revs wheelies. I got a MT09-SP which costed me, full mod less than € 10K and 2 months of work and waiting: Ecu remapped, homemade exhaust, BREMBO brakes upgraded and few other mods to get rid of some weight and better..I guess it's definitely an option before buying a Mt10 and in the end my Mt09 gets owned only on highways in pulling-runs which aren't actually my thing.
And above all I see all my mates riding R1, Ninja or Mt10 in twisty roads not having the same amount of fun I have on my CP3. Even after covering the "1000 turns road" in racing style I get off the bike fresh, no pain, no resemblance of tiredness. I ride every day to work and Sport/Racing weekends so I needed a Naked bike.
I've also tried the Triumph 765, MvAugusta tricilinders and enginewhise ain't bad at all but YAMAHA engines make the Mt series a master piece bike. Will I go for a Mt10???
I've read that the fuel economy is atrocious. I love the night fluo color scheme though. Appeals to my inner 10 yr old.
Try a aprilia Tuono with race ecu. 0.74 vs 0.8.
Got 160 miles out of a tank once on the way back from Spain at night ,was running on fumes when I found a fuel station .normally between 100 to 120 miles per tank
I get about 120 miles per tank it seems. I don't push it past that
Got a 21 MT-07, love the cross plane crankshaft
"Yamahaw"
Lmao 😂😂
2:32 loads of torque is bad for keeping traction. The reason you can come out of the corner was the weird firing interval which causes bigger batches of "recovery time" on your rear tire, which was very good for traction.
How did you find the "Empty 10"s Fuel Economy? XD

Hope you decide to keep this bike and make it your own personal bike! I recently found one exactly like your bike got lucky a hell paid 9k for it was a leftover at a small dealer in Mass!! had 7 miles on it when i got it now at 581 miles! previously had a 2016 R1 loved the sound of the crossplane got a Austin Racing exhaust on order for my FZ10 had one on my R1 Killer sound!! Also you should of mentioned the Cruise Control feature really awesome to have for highway riding!!

Oh yes it’s a FZ10. They were definitely around when they were still called FZ

I have a 2017 FZ-10 and it IS an awesome bike! There’s more the the heavier weight and lower power than an R1 though. It has different mid range biased cams it has a heavier flywheel the con rods and other pieces are steel instead of titanium like in the R1. The subframe is heavier too as mentioned. What also lends its self to the wheelie happy nature is a 2” shorter wheelbase in conjunction with the 2 tooth larger rear sprocket. It’s a fantastic bike and I picked mine up brand new in January of 2020 as a leftover for only $10k! I love this bike and the only bike I love more that I’ve owned was my 2002 Honda Blackbird I had back in 2007.
A quick note on the CP4 engine as well. The crosplane crank delivers a smoother power output because of how it fires. Instead of two big power pulses like a flat plane crank it delivers four sequential independent power pulses so its much smoother and predictable on its power delivery.

Replace the seat with the comfort seat, add an exhaust, add the quick shifter and send the ECU to 2wheel dyno works. This will give exactly what you need. I recommend pipe workx exhaust, but there are many to choose from. The throttle mapping from the factory is kind of a mess.
